SHOWJUMPING TO DRESSAGE // Competition Vlog

[@julen2380]

Mr Khal IS just quality! I had to giggle at the free walk comments because he was so clearly eyeing the ground "Oooh, could drag my nose through that bit...or through that bit..." He is just so beyond cute. Thanks for the video and I'm glad to see you out of that hotel room and in what looks like quite a nice house/flat.

[@the_horse_mad_chemist3255]

“All king Edwards horses can move bloody fast” - is the way I remember the letters 😂

[@petrairene]

Some suggestions that come to my mind: This is a horse with rather short movements at the trot and canter. For dressage bring down the cadence a bit. A tad calmer. The aim in dressage is to lengthen the movement in the extension and shorten them in the collection. Now horses with those short movements tend to rush if you just ride them forwards. If you want a lengthening of the stride, you have to keep the cadence lower with your seat and encourage lengthening of the stride and more push off with the hind legs while keeping that calmer cadence. That lower cadence will also go miles later when you work on real collection. Right now he rushes. About the head/neck position, try to encourage him to stretch himself forward and in the long and low downwards more. Restrict him less, he needs to learn self carriage while he can stretch into the contact.

CinnamonSpice Eventer yes we do!

[@andrea0307]

A friend of mine told me what she was taught when young.........A Fat Black Mother Cat Had Eight Kittens - never forgotten that! Good one I think! 😂

[@spanglelime]

To this day I recite, All King Edward's Horses Can Manage Big Fences! That was what I learned for my letters. It's been on my mind lately bc I haven't ridden for years and you lovely equestrian youtubers are all doing Dressage Riders Online.

[@LS-vb3ko]

that’s so interesting! I learned it as All King Edwards Horses Carry Many Brave Fighters, so cool to see how other people remember!

Well done holly! Rode the tests really well and I came joint second with you! 👌🏼💙

[@2.welsh.ponies522]

Jodie Silk - Jones oh wow well done!

[@inquisitiveWA]

It's really interesting listening to you analysing your ride on your different horses 🐎. Being Australian I'm glad you are enjoying your time in Australia 🇦🇺 especially as it's summer when you are here.

[@Lisanisky]

Holly. Any yard would and should be happy to let you ride. Someone on the practice client list will give you the chance to show what your capable of. Thats the great thing about the horse world. There is always an opportunity. And if an opportunity to ride racehorses comes your way , take it.

[@annejarvis7002]

Well done on the dressage results. Wishing you all the very best for your job. Looking forward to hearing about your adventures in Oz.🙂

[@kirstencrafford5497]

We use full size 20x60. I learned it as: A first place blue ribbon makes common horsemen savour each victory keenly.

[@margotkav7896]

In French we had the following: Hynfal Sort Enfin Voir Kheops Avec Feline Pour Boire du Rhum Melange a du Coca Which means: Hynfal gets out at last to see Kheops with Feline to drink some rum mixed with Coke (Hynfal, Kheops & Feline were names of horses at my pony club).

[@2.welsh.ponies522]

Oh my this was awesome!I also LIVE in Kerrits! Oh and you may call me crazy then I just completed a ODE yesterday and I’m doing some more hunter trials!But I LOVE dressage and showjumping as well!Well done!I do Eritrea in-line dressage which I HIGHLY recommend, it is awesome and there is even prelim leagues up to novice!I just came first in a prelim class with 69 percent and I am over the moon about that and also I’m first in the league!And our yard does the team tounement which is amazing!Any way well done again!

[@kesalexander4800]

Oh well done, next thing will be eventing !!!! Hope you are enjoying your job here in Australia, the weather will be improving from now on.

[@iimdone]

you NEED to do an aus house tour! im not sure if you did, but vlogging moving out of quarantine, driving to bendigo, and settling in would be cool to see

[@lizzyrbits1283]

Well done! He looks great. My favorite part was his free walk where he was strongly considering putting his nose in the dirt! :)

[@Patti-1962]

It's so nice to see you settled in Australia. As I also come from jumping background, when I see a dressage working canter, it almost looks like a four beat canter because it's SO SLOW. But it must take so much strength and suppleness from the horse to maintain such a slow canter. Congratulations on such wonderful scores and placements. Especially since you learned the test right before performing it!😂😂❤

[@jeniferrinehart1107]

Nice to see the test and all your thoughts and judge’s feedback. Lovely to see you settled! Would love to hear more about how you’re finding it there. How’s the job, how are the digs (they looked really nice!), how are the people? Enjoy your adventure and good luck with finding a loaner horse!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@2.welsh.ponies522]

Ooh wow!Im excted for this!Also (sorry if anyone reading this doesn’t care) butttt me and my pony jumped 3ft (90cm) yesterday and it’s the biggest we have jumped! (It doesn’t sound big but but my ponies 12.2!) also I just got home from an ODE it was soo much fun!

Hey Holly in Oz. Glad to hear you arrived and lived thru quarantine and have home videos to post. Be super if you find a horse(s) to ride. But in the meantime, how about some Holly Vet in Oz vids??? They’d still be horse-related. I’d love to see vids on the facilities or what horse-related things you’re doing, if it wouldn’t be an invasion of privacy. Looking fwd to more. Thanks very much.

[@souders4428]

Lovely vlog Holly! Hope it’s going well down under! All king Edwards horses carried many brave fighters ... learnt when I was about 10 and many years later, it’s still in my brain! 🤣👍

You should you pre parpili dressage with jumps !!

Whoops! Somehow managed to miss watching the bareback jumping video. Going to watch it straight after this one.

[@amandabonfante8863]

Is it normal for jumpers to have their heel turned in/toe pointing outward versus parallel to the horse’s side? Just curious. Love learning from all the disciplines!

[@iimdone]

yes very much! i dont really jump much, i just do flatwork as im still an amateur rider, but i ride in a jump saddle and learn more about keeping an open hip and knee rather than staying parallel and potentially pinching with my knees. im sure it also aids in something with the jumping position but i cant recall.

[@jessicathompson4153]
