We LOVE Em! ❤

[@jessicabender4479]

I love coursewalks with Nala - her with her stick starting around fence 10 dropping it, sitting, and then when everyone starts moving, picking it up again and carrying on. And jumping the unfinished bridge was adorable. Well done Tina and Banks!

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Aahhh thank you!! She made the bridge look so easy didn’t she lol xx

[@chrisdouglass7962]

Luv Nala!! 🥰🥰

[@VIPEqTHud]

Alex wasn’t really on my radar until your vlogs. He is incredible. But it made me adopt him as the rider I was gunning for at Badminton . He is awesome, - you and Banksy too ❤

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

That is awesome to hear!! Didn’t he do incredible 🙌 to climb to 3rd 🥉 so so chuffed for the whole team xx

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Aaawwww thank you xx

[@selinaclairepayne8820]

Tina, loved your excitement and ‘bring it on’ attitude in the course walk. You and Banks are an incredible team, you do each other proud ! And massive shout out to Alex, I’ve been a fan of his since his days with the amazing Zagreb. What a wonderful supportive trainer and so delighted with his result with Diva. What an amazing joy to watch you, Megs and Alex all smashing it !! Just brilliant ! Thank you for sharing .

[@c_and_l]

Wow, I know how much we all love Cameron and his energy. But Alex being so calm and chill for your dressage warm up was absolutely the perfect vibe. Did not expect that, how lovely of him!

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

so so kind wasn't he!! and then helped in both jumping phases too which was a lovely surprise xx

[@chrisdouglass7962]

That course walk with Cam was phenomenal!!! Sir Banksy looked fabulous!! Congrats on a fantastic round Tina!! 🥰❤️

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

He does explain things very well doesn’t he xx

That WAS great. Fascinating to watch and listen to the different perspectives.

[@pamblackwell6405]

Tina You are so easy to love. Cam is just as easy I love him. Emily is an amazing friend to you, full of knowledge best groom ever too. So awesome you are also close to the talented Meg. Awesome vlog I'm just so excited to watch and learn more from you.Great role model ❤ OH and also so Proud another Kiwi Won.

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

aaahhhh thanks we are all very lucky to have each others support and friendship xx

[@hollymcentegart149]

Tina, watched your B90 Pontispool vlog Sept 19 yesterday with EM and you were saying how you would be happy with 4 faults and a 30ish dressage. You truly smashed badminton WELL DONE

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Aaahhhh thank you xx

[@tracymckerchar9037]

Nothing better to get your notification for your vlog. Have been waiting for this. Fab job what a great team.

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Enjoy x

[@TheCowgirlNiamh]

You and Banksy looked amazing! Congratulations, well deserved Tina! ❤️

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Thank you so much!Xx

[@sarahcooper3378]

Brilliant vlog. So enjoyed the course walk. Cam explains it all so well and knows you and Banksy. As he says.....same time next year for the 100!! Fantastic that Alex devoted his time to you prior to dressage. He obviously is very caring and I sense he has deep feelings for Banksy. Very well done, looking forward to the SJ and XC.

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

They were both so helpful and like you say know my boy so well. I do think it helps massively when trainers will willingly ride the horses too like they both do xx

[@dianehookham]

You both looked amazing, Banks did so bloody well!! Congratulations 🎉 can't wait to see Em riding in it next year, both of you. Can't wait for pt 2, you and Banks have come such along way!! Alex is a great help.

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Thank you so much for the support. It’s massively appreciated. Xx

Well done Tina, I saw you over the broken bridge and you were absolutely flying. ❤❤❤

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

The only one he had a little hesitation at 🙈😂

[@jessicahigdon3962]

Awesome dressage Tina. Your work paid off. Fantastic! Can't wait for the next one. CONGRATULATIONS!

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Thank you I wanna do it all again now!!

[@jessicahigdon3962]

@LifeontheLeftRein You can. Don't ever think you can't. You and Banks are perfectly capable. You know in your heart you are very good and always remember, YOU CAN!

[@debbieredmon5063]

I’ve been following for a very long time. It has been a sometimes woolly and wonderful ride. It has been epic watching you and Banksy and all the hard work you’ve put in. It really shows. Can’t wait for show jumping and cross country.

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Aahhh thanks!! Yea it hasn’t been straight forward especially with 22 & 23 being such tough and emotionally draining years. But do pleased 2024 is so far going so SO much better and that my boy is really thriving xx

[@reneowens2768]

More than any course walk before, this explained the skill and art of riding a cross country course!

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Was super helpful!! Love course walking with Cam xx

[@jeniferrinehart1107]

So amazing! You two were great! So glad you are also having FUN! ❤❤❤. Can’t wait for part 2! ❤🎉❤🎉

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Thanks so much!! It really was the best week xx

[@egeegee7146]

Love Cam and his very intuitive take on this course. His advice at the broken bridge is spot on and considering the 5* are told by the course designer in his remarks to the riders to simply kick on at the grown up broken bridge. Tina you sound very positive and really bright and on it. Fabulous.

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Thanks I loved every second of it and am so proud of my boy xx

[@nikkicook4993]

I was lucky enough to be there at Badminton and watched all 3 phases, you smashed it!! So, so happy for you, you deserved it so much after all your hard work and effort🥰

Hello Tina my Dear, Unfortunately I have not been well again and so this is the very first time that I am seeing your Badminton Vlogs. Right now you are walking the Event Course with Cameron. How you understand everything that he says to you is a marvel to me and makes me think that you are a lot smarter than I am. I am going to keep watching all the way through the second video to see all of your classes I hope. Good luck my sweet friend I am cheering you on. Take Care . Your friend Jane from America ❤️🧑🏻‍🦰❤️👍🐴

He was loving it!! Hopefully be out Friday evening xx

[@carolreising3463]

I'm in the U.S. but noticed a tree that we call buckhorn, which is very fragrant, almost immediately after Cam told Tina how good she smelled. I think it was the tree.

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Oh haha!!

[@Dollarraeeventing]

Amazing result! I loved the course walk with Cam, even I learnt a lot just watching you walk it. Super well done x

Love this so much! AMAZING riding, Tina and you have prepared the gorgeous and talented Banksy so well! He looked like he could have done it all over again the next day! What an amazing rider and horse person you are and what an incredible, beautiful and sweet horse he is! Thrilled for you and Meg and Alex; amazing riding and results all around! Of course Em is a supergroom because she's super at everything and we will see her at Badders next year, I'm sure! Love all your people, but Rob's reaction after cross country was my absolute favourite (after you and Banks of course!)!🤎🤍💙🖤♥

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

He was such a superstar thank you xx

[@nixequestrian3721]

Well done- Gosh, your dressage has improved 10 fold this year! Alex really has done amazing things for your riding level & Banks way of going. But just as importantly, you should be super proud of yourself for all the hard work putting everything you were learning into practice until it was becoming habit, as that is the hardest part IME. 30 is a really good score for a champ track, but it is a bit of a shame about the judge at B not seeing your first give & retake, as I think Emily was spot on- that test looked like a sub 30 to me as well...29.5 would have been my guess. Very much looking forward to watching your SJ & XC rounds!

[@drcparrott]

EEEK!! what a great vlog! so so exciting and you looked SO GOOD in the dressage I def thought it was b better than a 30!

[@lisakovic5256]

Oh T, you and Banksy were so stunningly amazing!!!! 🥰😍 I am so so glad you didn’t let the nerves impact your test, you clever thing ❤️ Alex is just 😍🤩 I need an Alex! Can’t wait for part 2!!!!

[@colleenw8756]

Probably a silly question, but do ALL horses/ponies favour one side ie left? Some humans are left handed, while (most?) are right handed. If a horse is more one side than the other do you teach them to be the "correct " side for eventing? Phrasing is probably not right but I hope you can understand my meaning. Love you, your vlogs, ponies.

[@laurapugh1965]

Crazy story, the day you left to travel to badminton me and my boyfriend were coming home from staying in Hayle and I said on the way back I would imagine Tina will be heading to badminton today and I said as a joke look out for a black and white lorry.. We were going along and my partner goes like that one coming up and IT WAS YOU! We then stopped at the petrol station on the dual carriageway and I said to him I wished I got a video going past then literally a minute later you and em stopped and went around the back! Really wished I came and said hi:( xx
