Farouk was much better at this his second dressage event compared to his first. This time we were at Friars Hill Riding Stables, Sinnington. We did the same test both times, Prelim 2. This video taken 2nd February 2020. Farouk's first dressage event was on the 8th June 2019.

Yikes, don't listen to the haters. Farouk is tense to begin with but he does settle down 5:57 for example, he lowers his head and accepts the bit. He's much better than the clips you showed of his first time. So much more relaxed and a fantastic amount of progress between the two clips. To the people commenting: So what he didn't like the mounting block in the corner. Young horses who've had months of groundwork can find it difficult to stand by a mounting block in a corner, in a new environment with other horses in the ring! This wonderful lady gave him time, patience and then made the final call of "this isn't working today, we'll go and mount from somewhere he's used to." Which in this case was a stool outside. I respect her massively for that. Too many times I've seen people beat their horses into the corner or strapping them down to the point they can't move and then bronking through the warm-up. Putting them, the horse and others in danger. Your weight is fine. I wish the same people would comment on parents riding their kids ponies! The person who says "sit still" has clearly, NEVER ridden a horse or certainly not one who's not a biddable school pony. Sitting still would block the horses movement. In-fact you don't even need to ride to know that, go watch some FEI dressage and tell me that they're sitting still! I would say your arms are a tiny bit stiff but I imagine it was nerves. I always forget to breathe myself, especially on a spooky horse but sometimes we're our own worst enemy and by keeping our hands still we become more tense and transfer that energy through to the horse. Can't wait to see your next update! :)

Farouk seems like a very earnest horse, with a lot of try in him. Brave doesn't mean without fear. Brave requires being afraid, but pressing on as required. That horse was brave. He was clearly worried about all the new sights. That storage area that opened onto the arena was made for ambush by a smilodon. I loved when his back relaxed, and he started chewing and licking. What a lovely, good boy. Very intelligent eye and spirited. The breed is so sensitive. They won't put up with the rough handling that many warmbloods tolerate. I love how the rider doesn't get upset with him, just works him through and builds his confidence. Well done!

Love his lovely gentle look at the beginning of the video...his eyes are just so expressive and sensitive. His color is amazing too. I've never seen mirrors in a ring. I can't believe it's conducive to a positive riding environment. Most horses probably aren't desensitized to a mirror or understand what it is. Thanks so much...Farouk so much more relaxed. Love the bit about the scary monsters :-) nice camera work Rens! Really enjoyed watching!

Poor Farouk he’s shocked and fearful of the beautiful horse in the mirror! Himself! When he settles momentarily and goes on the bit he looks fabulous. I hope you persist it’s just a practice thing. One day he could be a winner! And really no disrespect to the riding establishment but it’s got lots of junky stuff for horsies to freak out about it’s far from ideal. Hmm he really does look fabulous when he’s not poking his nose or falling over his feet which is an Arab thing I think, they put in minimal effort with their feet while they are goggle boxing looking at stuff with those huge eyes.

We have a 55 gallon drum, with the bottom third cut off and turned unto the lower step as a mounting block. I also have an alluminum fold up single step to mount from - the next thing will be practicing mounting from the pipe fence in the arena... but you know, you can practuce all kinds of things, and on any given day, they can throw a wobbly and just say 'nope'. You got him all settled nicely and despite the stumble, he was relaxing even though there were so many new things going on. I probably would have had to make Kai dizzy doing circles to stop him getting rooted and staring.🤣

For the love of Pete, can someone tell me a dressage bridle that fits an Arabian? I think I need a cobb bridle with pony cheek pieces, and possibly a full broadband. And the leathers!!! The thick dressage leathers are made for warmbloods. My Arab is 15'2", but has a fine head. He's just swallowed up with an enormous cavesson. I've made it through saddle fitting hell, but am still navigating bridle fitting hell. I'm riding in a Frankenbridle comprised of all sorts of pieces that don't match. It would be awesome to find a dressage bridle that looks flattering on an Arabian, with a removable flash (I don't ride in them), and ideally, ergonomic to avoid the facial nerves. Is this even a possible find???

Actually Tara, the area where Farouk stumbled, it appeared that there was a very iw spot and when Farouk stepped into that little low spot, that's where he stumbled.

Fair play to you for producing this lovely horse. I watched you start him under the saddle and I admire what you did. He is clearly a jumpy pony and you still just got on with it. Best of luck with him in the future ♥️

Does anyone know what size saddle a 14 hand Arabian would fit in? (For English hunter/jumper) Size 14 or 16? I don’t really know this is my first time buying a saddle. Sorry random question-

You will need a proffesional saddle fitter. A good fitting saddle is by far the most important thing for the well being of the horse.

Strange place for a mounting block, also should have had one outside. Farouk isn’t the only one that stumbles, I seem to do that frequently..

Delighted to see Farouk at a dressage event. Lots happening around him. I was wondering....is it the indoor lighting or has Farouk lost some weight again? Look forward to part 2. 🥰🥰🥰🥰💕💕💕💕

Looked to me that Farouk was a bit put off by the mirror behind the mounting block. He is such a good horse, and you've brought him so far. Thanks for sharing your horses with us.

Have been watching broadcast of the 2019-2020 dressage World Cup competition from Stuttgart, Madrid, London and Salzburg, recorded programs from earlier this year. So I loved seeing you and Farouk doing this! Question: Are commands given verbally to the horse, or is a routine learned by the horse without commands? I can't even imagine how you start training a horse to do these movements. Wonderful to watch! Thank you.

Those first few events are nerve wracking for most horses just starting out. You did a great job keeping yourself and him calm! I often bring a horse to events even if it’s not showing to get them used to being in strange surroundings with unfamiliar horses and people and spend some time in the warm up rings. With a horse that has mounting issues, I’d go back to basics and re-train. You’ll both benefit from any practice. My first horse was a young Arabian and took quite some time to warm up to unfamiliar situations but, with patience, we got there as will you! He looks quite tall for an Arabian...could just be the video. What’s his height?

Curious to know what type of Arab he is... he's very tall. I've only really ridden Bask and Crabbet Arabs, though I own warmbloods. Ignore the people that are slagging you off. He's your horse, you know him best, he seems to be rather young, still filling out. No worries, you look fine. I've been doing dressage for almost 30 years, if this is only his second show he did rather well in warmup.

I had a half Arab and..I was looking at pictures of her the other day and she would break at the poll like this horse but she'd never round the rest of her neck like proper dressage horse. Can you explain this or point me in the direction of a video that shows the differences or..I think you'll know what I'm talking about. I dont even know how to ask the question really, but if you've been doing dressage for 30 years, I think you will understand what I am getting at. Thanks.

Farouk was not at all comfortable with the situation and was broadcasting it in his actions, body language, and continual talking. I have wondered for some time if Farouk's clumsiness is a display of his nervousness and discomfort. You did a very good job of keeping Farouk below the boiling point which, from the other horses' vocalizations, some of the other riders were having problems with their horses. Dressage is one event I did not like, nor did I ever compete in it, though my sister loved it and never missed an event in New England [not a burden as there were not very many dressage competitions 40 and 50 years ago. I was surprised by the lecture about filming the kids, because I would be very dubious if there was not an "official" tape of the event which no one removed the minors from [though protecting the kids is a very good practice and should apply both to private and public taping.
