River's Journey! From Unbroken 3yo 'Til Now

[@EquiiAlly]

You've done so well with her. Such a stunning mare with a massive future. Looking forward to seeing what you both become :) xx

[@EddiesGun91]

+EquiiAlly thank you Ally :D you getting Alfie spurred me on to buy her :D x

[@pawsumpets2134]

since you and Eddiesgun91 have trained horses to be great gorgeous creatures may i get some advice i am a beginner rider and i have a horse i got lunge rope and whip and roundyard i have looked up why even a trainer didnt understand why my horse doesnt move or isnt scared of the whip when i try to lunge him any suggestions?

[@kmartvan]

Pawsum Pets you're a beginner rider training a horse?

[@stelladeburca696]

+Pawsum Pets The horse should NEVER be afraid of the whip- it is only to be used as an extension of your hand

[@glendalaw]

She is beautiful, you've come so far with her

[@MonicaHoustonxo]

The fact that she jumped the fence when she was with the vet is just classic! Well Done, you have come so far with her, I can't wait to see what the future has in store for the both of you!

[@MaritsView]

I can tell you horses are smart animals haha

[@MaritsView]

00:42 *Oopsie! This is the moment you realize she's a jump horse!* Beautiful video!

[@picturesqueponies]

those legs over those poles are freaking majestic XD my horses are all lazy so they just go over it like "stop please get off"

[@beautifuldancingfreestyle2202]

My mare LITTERALLY jumps it even if its 4 poles. SHE JUMPS IT TOGETHER! and im like..girl no. I do dressage with her, not jumping he yet. BUT SOON!

[@JustLookingForLove13]

It must be such a wonderful feeling to have broken and trained such a lovely horse! She has come a long way and it's all because she has a patience, talented teacher! Love these videos and love River!

[@EddiesGun91]

+JustLookingForLove13 thank you so much :D I love River too haha

[@KicktheTrotter]

The job you have done with her is so incredible she has turned into a beautiful mare and im sure you two will go far as a team:)x

[@rhiannekiley]

wow shes a beautiful mare, you've done so well with her :)

[@EddiesGun91]

+JustRhi x Thank you :D

[@rhiannekiley]

+EddiesGun91 i am currently training a youngster and we're only just trotting poles, shes scared of poles bless her! she just needs a lot of encouragement to get over and overcome her fear :)

[@EddiesGun91]

+JustRhi x I would do lots of in hand walking over poles :) good luck :D

[@rhiannekiley]

+EddiesGun91 thank you! :D

[@esoterica73]

+EddiesGun91 This is amazing, River has come so far! You and her will look amazing together! You helped me train my pony Connie tricks :D

[@toriskippy8915]

0:48 That Lipizzaner action though.

[@xxkvck]

Her trotting poles made me smile! Lovely mare, and you're so lucky to have all this :D

[@EddiesGun91]

+xCyberdog thank you so much :D I know :)

[@finnshuman]

Beautiful beautiful beautiful. I love seeing horses work so nicely with such gentle contact

[@EddiesGun91]

+luksrai thank you so much :D I wanted her to be light in the hand as she is such a big mare!

[@LuziAsikuse]

your hands are so soft. I could imagine that River rolls herselfe up quite easy and you always manage to get her up and back on the bit again. I love the way you sit on the horse, especily in sitting trot (I'm not sure what it's called in english) how your hips moving with the horse

[@EddiesGun91]

+LuziAsikuse thank you so much :D your english is good! Greetings from Dubai :)

[@shellykennedy5427]

River has certainly livened up the paddock! Lovely girl. Such energy!

[@rusty2998]

Something tells me River will always have a part that stays wild

[@MarieClare02]

Love how you ride her so free in the neck with moments of stretching down / seeking the bit. Great work with a baby that doesnt look at all easy.

[@lizziebates2891]

Wow! You two have come so far! Sweat, blood and tears and now happiness and one very beautiful, and amazing horse!

[@spidersweb2741]

What a beautiful way to train a horse to saddle

[@RoandAnnaVlogs]

The way you were so patient with her whilst she was getting her tack whilst on the ground was really inspiring!!! Well Done Lauren! (and Boo for being such a good role model!)!!!!

[@EddiesGun91]

+MissxRainboweyes thank you so much :D I took a lot of time to 'break' her.. lol hate that term!!!

[@lizegiuliani8682]

it's nice to see that even people like you have times that it doesn't work out as you want.. My horse is like river in the beginning from his journey and it's depressing to see that everything goes so well with everybody except me.. This video gets my hope up that maybe it will get better with me and my horse too. thank you so much for showing this video!!

[@hazurajane5454]

Awwww, I got all rainy-face in a couple of spots on this video. You've done a beautiful job with River, and she's a good girl. Her gorgeous face and spunk make me want to see more of her!!!! Thank you.

[@vickwills5264]

You must be so so proud! I completely admire your attitude towards horses and how much time you have for them - it pays off!

[@laurenhsieh6025]

I love this video!! I have watched this like 4 hundred times

[@KCandy560]

You've done amazing with her and seeing your journey is inspiring! River is beautiful.

[@biancahudson6773]

Love your gentleness towards River, such a special bond!

[@victoriat5474]

[@lesliedoney1]

So energetic, and Ive never seen a horse with such a peppy leap like hers!!

[@ForestBurnHolly]

It's actually insane how far she has come and her flatwork is spot on now!! Your done such an amazing job ✋🏻

[@EddiesGun91]

+ForestBurnHolly thank you :D she feels lovely on the flat :D

[@kenzieshelley4172]

It's so amazing watching your adventure with her! I'm currently backing and training a horse for a first time as my first horse was already broke and had some miles.

[@annika1963]

thank you so much for sharing your progress with river with us, it's great to see where she's at now!

[@alyssaearnshaw2301]

Must've taken a lot of patience! She looks amazing

[@FancySassy80]

GAWD she has grown so much in personality and training.. great job Lauren!

[@EddiesGun91]

+SassyMustang1980 I agree.. she has really grown up :D

[@AtlasM0th]

She's got massive potential to be a eventer. You've done great with her so far you're really helping her get her talent out there! :D

[@annaelliott6403]

I am so glad you are keeping her! Can't wait to see your future with her!

[@EddiesGun91]

+Anna Elliott thank you so much :D

[@tirzavanp]

Wow, what a beautiful horse! Such a good progression!

[@Annaxyhorse]

she was a handful as a 3yo for sure! but look where she's now, already come so far! very excited to see more of your progress:) also I really like your training philosophy, with mixing the english and liberty and also not jumping her really high, but letter her develop in her own time, absolutely brilliant xx

[@EddiesGun91]

+Annaxyhorse thank you :D i don't want her to jump anything too big until she's over 5 years old.. she is still growing and I don't want to risk damaging her joints and cartilage! :)

[@fantellerhur]

This makes me so happy - you did a great job with her!

[@EddiesGun91]

+Elle R'hur thank you :D

[@alex13stone]

you both have done so well well done with her

[@EddiesGun91]

+alex13stone thank you so much :D

[@horselover6814]

Love it! you have really done well with her. At first she was just kicking and rearing all over the place. Look at her now! 🐎

[@Hawkethehorse]

I love this! Amazing how far she has come and you! I've been watching you since the early days with Kody and Charlie! Love seeing how River is coming along and I love how you include all the hard stuff as well! I also adore how you've taken your time to bring her on slowly and give her heaps of rest periods! Makes me so excited to hopefully be purchasing a young horse in the next year or so to bring on like this!!!

[@EddiesGun91]

+Christina Arnold Bringing on a young horse is so rewarding :D thank you so much for following me all this time :)

[@crystalsky7987]

[@Icelandichorses1]

Very inspiring to watch! She's a very special horse ;-) and you are an amazing rider!

[@watchgoose]

I have always got on well with very silly horses, and I liked this mare right away! She's hysterically funny! Folds nicely over jumps, too. And girlfriend, you have a great seat, despite that one little tumble - kudos to you. I'd like to see what this mare is doing today.

[@andiebebbington]

She had leg issues so has been retired as a broodmare in Holland (Lauren still owns her.)

[@Ishowequine]

I remember the very first video you put up when you got her! You got a nice horse there! I love what you've done with her!!!

[@iqreevo]

have absolutely enjoyed watching you bring her on and i am so so thrilled to hear you don't have any plans now to move her on because i always thought she was such a classy mare and has a huge future ahead of her - thanks to you she's developed into such a gorgeous horse. i hope my two year old turns out to be half as nice - but i also hope he's not quite as cheeky as River when I start him under saddle lol :D

[@EddiesGun91]

+iqreevo thanks so much.. she was a bit cheeky in the beginning haha :D she's so relaxed now though.. I love working with her... every day is fun :D
