"The broken down horse" - 1 year with Cara ❤️

!!!!READ!!!!One year with this amazing horse.. I can't believe how far we've come- from a malnourished, terrified, shy, stressed out and borderline crazy horse to a loving and trusting teammate with a heart of gold. As you can see it's not like she transformed from "crazy to normal"- she's still got her sassy moments, she's still leaping and rearing around and she's still quirky. The biggest difference is how much she trust me and how we've developed into a team. She's my one in a million. From 90cm to 1.25m in under a year, where we've placed at most of our shows despite my lack of a riding arena, trainer and money. The odds are and have been against us from the start, but sometimes the underdog rise.
I don't have many "everyday" clips, which is kind of gutting as that's where the biggest difference is. I couldn't ride out on her alone because we would end up in a ditch or she would leap into the roads. I couldn't ride her with anyone either, because she would freak out with other horses. I couldn't tack up- she would run around in the crossties. She couldn't stand to be alone and broke out of her stall and paddock. She wouldn't stand still for a second on the trailer, with the farrier or anything else. She was incredibly skinny and refused to eat. When jumping she was always very brave- if you could get her to the fence.. She leaped towards the gate, reared around.. And if you got to point her to the fence she would take off in full speed and burn over it. Riding her on he flat was basically impossible, she just wanted to run and if you didn't let her, she'd just leap and jump around. She was so stressed and scared, and I don't have many photos or videos of much of what I mentioned above but believe me, I remember it.

[@horseygirl6296]

Congratulations. That's how me and my pony are. She wasn't trained for what I wanted to do. People had doubts that I couldn't ride her and that we needed to sell her. I never gave up. She is my forever heart horse.

[@chicaine4915]

she is like a completely different horse xxx

[@petrificouscirgard9561]

That horse is born to jump! Springs in her feet! You've done wonders, well done!

[@klara7959]

you are so perfect. what you did with Cara is just incredible. I appriciate you soo much. Your videos are so inspiring. Becouse of you I didnt stop riding when I broke my arm. Becouse of you I started looking at riding with differend eyes. Your dedication to horses and riding is just so beautiful and powerfull. You have improved so much in riding. You can see the conection with your horses while you ride tham. Ily.😙😙❤and of course your beautiful horses. Thank you for all the likes.

[@ThereseMoser]

Thank you so much, and I'm so happy to hear that I've inspired you- you have no idea how much it means to me!! ❤

[@maddiekaywheeling1795]

awwww this is such an inspiring and beautiful story,Cara is you horse of a lifetime

[@ameliabrooks8155]

So much can change Ina year and this just proves it. It also goes to show how much trust can change how a horse can behave, you two are an amazing team keep on going

[@D.A.N.I.E.L.A.]

Cara fasziniert mich so sehr... du hast sie verdammt gut hin bekommen! Ihr seid ein tolles Team! LG

[@chloechla5168]

It is always a long journey with horses but even if there is still work to do by any of us to keep improving, you are a true exemple of how far patience and passion can go!

[@thominaduncanson8003]

Thank you for loving and staying with Cara. Sometimes all a broken horse needs to hear, in order to heal, is this: “I refuse to stop loving you.” God is also very good with this His FAVORITE approach to broken people He intends to completely heal. 🐺🇺🇸

[@viktoriab.9847]

I can't believe how far you two have and how well Cara developed. I wanted to say thank you for your videos- it was because of them I didn't give up riding, I still kept going and still am, no matter how hard and frustrating it became. Keep on going the great work with your horses, Therese :)

[@ThereseMoser]

Thank you ❤ Well done for not giving up, you should be proud of yourself!

[@jordansganzerla7827]

so inspiring i wish i was as good as you guys..... cara has come so far!

[@jillianknopp1530]

I give you a lot of credit because what you did to this horse is just brilliant! Cara is a beautiful horse you inspire me so much to never give up. Great job!

[@oksana6023]

This made me cry. Like ohmygod.

[@beautifuldancingfreestyle2202]

You and cara remind me much of me and my mare I've had her for a year and a half; when I got her she was skinny; and although she was calm she was very nervous about anything and almost everything. When trotting a year ago she would prance around and would go rather fast with her legs, she would be above the bit and would be hollowed out even if asked to lift her back. She had a huge love for jumping but she not I were ready to take in jumping; so we began our career in Dressage. I had 2 years before on lesson horses who were slow and had one bad fall that put me out for a year and a half. My horse helped me overcome the fears of cantering and the fears of going fast! I stuck to the slow horses because I was comfortable; when I got my mare she was speedy and uncontrollably she never reared or bucked but did crow hop when she was unbalanced she got anxious easily and cantering was hard. No even trotting was hard at the time and even walking! She didn't know how to stretch because she was to busy worrying over what will happen next. I quit riding her for a few weeks and worked on free lunging, free jumping, and a lot of liberty and ground work. After quite a bit of that; we started riding again. She was a tad better and was more focused on me; I was able to get her to come on the bit willingly and now we had built the connection we rode from there and went to trot on the bit and it nice and slow we even got a 9 on 2 of the struggles in the past (medium walk and working trot.) it's been quite a few months since the show I didn't canter at the show but I wasn't ready then. Her walk and trot was all good now but it took a year; her canter was the hard part. She will go on the bit but she has only been angered a handful of times before I got her (she was a pasture horse all her life after she was broke.) I've only had 3 trainers and now I have none and have had none since November. Today I cantered slow and steady on the hit yes it was a tad fast but way slower then days before!!! We are finally progressing a lot! Your horse reminds me of mine because of the journey you have had with cars! Good luck reaching the Olympics!! YOU WILL BE THERE!!! AND YOUR PROBABLY GONNA BE ABOARD THE BEAUTIFUL CARA!!

[@rosiequine2622]

This actually brought me to tears... can't quite express how beautiful it is to see someone who loves their horse to the extent where they can see through all the pain and misunderstandings, you two are just phenomenal and you are such a credit to each other!

[@ThereseMoser]

Thank you so much❤

[@horatiopong]

you are an amazing rider. I am so impressed with your quiet calmness and balance!

[@lozwatto5060]

That horse is absolutely amazing, you sure found yourself a gem. You never gave up on her and look at how far she's come because of it. You're a true inspiration. Keep doing what you're doing 🧡

[@zoeequestrian3572]

You are an amazing rider You have inspired me not to give up and to keep trying You have shown me just how much of a bond horse and rider can have And you have proved to me that you don't need chains whips and strange bridles to teach a horse Thank you xx

[@chandlerthomas8726]

wow, that horse is an AMAZING jumper!

[@royall358]

You're so lucky to have her❤

[@jodiemiddleton6320]

when you first bought Cara I'm ashamed to say I was doubtful about her future, but my god you proved me and everyone else wrong, what an amazing horse she is and what a great team you make, you should be beyond proud of yourselves, I wish you both every best in the future, I know you two will do even more amazing things xxx

[@ThereseMoser]

+Jodie Middleton I think most people were doubtful about her to be honest! Thank you so much ❤️

[@LGSWORLD]

You two are by far the best pare on KZbin. This horse is phenomenal, and you are an amazing rider. My sister suffered a horrible fall, and you inspired her to keep riding. You are inspiring; and that horse is gorgeous. Me and my sister look up to you, and no horse could ever replace Cara. Never sell her, she’s a truly amazing horse 🐴

[@blidafan9276]

Amazing!!!!!

[@dawnculpeper2125]

Cara is Your Horse for sure !! She will not bond like that with anyone else. You have done a beautiful job with her, hope she stays til u retire her if possible. Horse owner & lover to horse owner and lover

[@xblueeyedgal99x]

This is one of my favorite progress stories. Any real upper level horse is going to have quirks, and I think that's what makes her such a great horse. I really hope her previous owners see where she is now and are extremely ashamed and embarrassed in themselves. They threw away a pure diamond. Major hats off to you as always! :)

[@ThereseMoser]

I agree, the best horses are usually the difficult one, or at least in my experience. Thank you! :')

[@kerenp2853]

(sorry I am french) c'est incroyable ce que tu a fait avec Cara, il devrait y avoir plus de cavalieres comme toi qui n'achète pas des chevaux "tout près" et les revendent au moindre problème.. continue comme ca!

[@xHeartHorsesx]

You two are great together. Blessed is this mare with your presence, you've turned her life around.

[@florasmith2365]

This audio is beautiful! xx

[@mallie249]

I can't believe it's been a year! I've been following your and Cara's journey since the beginning and it's amazing to see what you've done for her!

[@annabelrowland8067]

Wow Therese she looks amazing this difference is incredible 😍😍

[@abbikyffin7390]

She looks amazing! You really are a fantastic rider. You and Cara are such a team.

[@BlobTheCob]

Can't even begin to say how proud I am of you both! The difference in just one year is insane! You have done a tremendous job with her and I know you two have a very bright future ahead of you! The biggest well done to you and if this is what you can achieve in just one year I can't wait to see what she's like another year from now!! Well done man!!xxxx

[@ThereseMoser]

Thank you so much ❤❤❤

[@leawheeler5669]

You have done amazing with this horse! You are a great pair

[@sophieking572]

No words can describe how amazing you two are! You've come so far with each other and you can really tell you two have a fantastic bond ❤️. I've loved watching your videos and watching you grow together xx

[@ThereseMoser]

Thank you ❤❤

[@lunatimperman5902]

When I saw the first video of you and Cara, I knew you would do amazing things, but it's incredible what you have done with her in just one year! you are giving her the best you can and we can all see that she's giving everything she have for you. You guys are an amazing team and I truly don't think anyone could have done a better job with her than you. You guys are just made for eachother

[@ThereseMoser]

Thank you, that means a lot :')

[@esmee5991]

Wow.... This gives me sooo much inspiration to work with a really difficult mare, thanks for sharing this, now I see how a horse can change, and I can start training with her with lots of hope. Thanks❤

[@alicefraser7045]

Its not just car a you have improved riding and made her better well done

[@layan.alabed]

WOW I WATCHED YOUR FIRST VIDEO WITH CARA BUT WOW SHE HAS CHANGED SO MUCH YOU LOOK LIKE YOU WORKED HARD WITH HER YOU INSPIRED ME THIS IS LOVE, THIS IS TRUST

[@sabrinasvlogs8348]

This video is so emotional. It is fantastic to see, what somebody can reach with hard work😍👌

[@clarabouvet2722]

Just one word: amazing ! What you did with Cara is unbelievable, who would have thought she would became such a nice mare ! And all of that is because of you, congrats !

[@ThereseMoser]

Thanks a lot ❤

[@kawaiipotato7830]

Well done you changed this horses life for the better and you guys are doing great, Ik sometimes you get criticized but what your doing they are clearly jealous you have truly worked a miracle and I hope you guys go for and beyond

[@s4r4w]

I remember your first video with Cara, it feels like it was yesterday. it's truly amazing and inspiring how far you two have come and I really respect you for taking in a horse like her, scared and probably very confused and not trusting anyone or anything, and taking such good care of her. she's so lucky to have someone like you caring about her that much. xx I swear you'll go years in time so far with that kind of bond between you two!

[@ThereseMoser]

Thank you so much :')

[@sikhulileprince6879]

i love the Horse...I would love to have a hot blooded horse just like Cara....She is so strong...

[@emmagoodwin7483]

I love this Therese! She truly is such a special horse, and she clearly adores, respects, and trusts you!!

[@katewillemse5417]

You are an amazing rider with a great work ethic and a great passion for horses. You have a strong will to succeed, something which seems to lack in many equestrians. And, you're an inspiration to us all. You, (even though you don't know me) have inspired me to keep going and persevere with my own very green mare... so, thankyou ☺

[@ThereseMoser]

I'm so glad to hear that, thank you :')

[@jennielaw6329]

Hi from Cheshire England 👱. I'm old enough to be your mum and hav watched ur videos for some time now. ..I know about horses but am by no means an expert. ..but i see ur totally natural ability to ride. This natural ease u hav cannot be taught. ... it's just there. Cara is a complicated lady! ! People hav dissed u about how tight u hold her mouth. I hav agreed I admit but hav been in that situation myself when u just feel I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN PLEASE!! I think it's a tribute to ur skill you've not experimented with a harsh bit or any fancy gadgets to confuse her. ....and very importantly in my eyes. ....never seen u carry a whip of any kind. 👱 x

[@suzannehopf5414]

Your mare reminds me of Touch of Class, a small TB mare that was an incredibly difficult ride (some might say a bit crazy) who won the Olympic Gold in '84 with Joe Fargis. Most of the people who "offered" suggestions in previous videos on how to ride this horse would step right off her the minute she started to do her thing. Kudos to you that you sat calmly and persevered.

[@tendevils2712]

Honestly, for some reason I had begun to judge you and seeing this really opened my eyes into what an amazing job you do with your horses. Cara literally looks like a different horse.

[@ThereseMoser]

Thank you!

[@PalwassiexLove]

I literally adore your little lady. You two are such a great team and come such a long way!

[@tiffanylawrence9838]

You're a inspiration to many Therese!

[@kiki070600]

Wow, she looks incredible. Great job with her!!

[@VeronicaEquestrienne]

Honestly, I think she has such a good home with you and it seems like you truly are her one and only. You belong together and I see you have a friend in her for many many years, not to mentione a team mate for years to come.

[@teamtrefoil2993]

I love your development😍😍😍😍

[@bushwren]

I find the quirkiest horses make the best competitors, one you get them working with you instead of against, they are the horses willing to try that extra bit more when you ask them too.

[@goto4028]

Just perfect

[@lilmissdanny1]

You have done an incredible job with this mare! Dream team!!

[@dagmaraszydowska9607]

Thanks a lot!

[@Noor-sb5vj]

You're amazing Therese, and you inspire so many people by being you, and by how you handle certain circumstances. It's amazing to see the effect you have on Cara en the effect she has on you, you should be very proud!😍

[@anyaks6696]

What an amazing sight. So much scope in her jump and talent! She was a naturally born jumper, and I could see that on all of the vids before she became who she is today. What an amazing rider and owner you must be to bring this girl on. She didn't do this all by herself you know, you get her to this stage, she couldn't do it without you. All of those winning ribbons show you just how incredible it is. Even though she has her quirks, that makes her who she is! Cara without rearing and leaping ins't Cara at all! Like my welsh sec D Bryn is very sassy, he turns around on his heels and bolts down the other end of the school, or he will come a a jump and jump way way way back or will jump 4 foot in the air to jump an 80cm jump LOL! Not ever horse is perfect to begin with. But they can be when you put in the time and patience and love, which is what you did! ( Minus the quirks LOL!) I wish you the very best of lucky and joy in the future, xx

[@tlcequestrian8622]

Omg this video is perfect just like you and all of your horses, you are such a successful horse woman, what you have done with cara is truly incredible, from a horse that was once though was rubbish, is now an amazing 1.25m show jumper.Your patience perseverance and courage is what defines you an amazingly perfect rider. You have inspired me so much to keep going with horses no matter how tough they might be. Horses give us joy and heart breaks, but you demonstrate perfectly if you persevere you can achieve anything. Love you lots Theresa, never give up your awesome. X

[@tlcequestrian8622]

[@mollyautumnfield4506]

I honestly have no words. What you did, well it's amazing. I could never have done that. Your such a beautiful rider and you have turned that horse into an amazing little pony. I wish I can be as great as you are one day. Keep on being awesome

Wow ❤️❤️❤️ I'm so glad you stuck with her 😍 You are one of the reasons I didn't see much in being flipped on backwards by a horse... twice in 10min... 2 days later I got back on my trick horse bareback in a halter that I hadn't ridden for 2-3 weeks, cantered around and began to ask her to rear to quickly get my nerves out of the way...

[@ThereseMoser]

Thank you, and well done for facing your fears right away and keep going ❤

[@Milestone-Equestrian]

You two are amazing! Her body condition looks incredible now, too. What a difference! What is this audio from?

[@ThereseMoser]

Thank you Shelby! I literally put the audio together with about 15 different quotes/speeches from various tv shows and videos (:

[@georgiagardner2763]

Its been almost 3 years now with my gelding, and progress has been a rise and fall. Most of the time i've had him he's struck a field injury, or gone lame for some reason or another so we have had barely any time to make progress.. He's nappy, i can ride him out alone to a certain part of the road and he just spins, rears, bolts... He naps when jumping and doesn't focus, fights me in the school... However, with my confidence as low as it is, i've decided now is the time to try and fix this, to overcome these problems. He's come so far, we jumped a 95 spread with a 90cm gap a few weeks ago, he schools like a dream when he puts his heart in it... He's just silly... I've decided now to get professional help with him, and i've been feeling pretty down... But i've just come across your video and realised we can do this, much like you two did... we will find our break, we will compete, we will reach our goals.. Thank you!

[@oliviaequestrian6906]

cool!!!

[@bandersnatch2874]

Some of Cara's "antics" look familiar from what I went through with my girl. You handled it well and went with it rather than trying to fight her. You gained her trust and respect and now she's giving you her heart. All horses have their quirks, but I think that's what makes them special. If all horses were perfect all the time, what fun would that be? We'd never learn or improve. Besides -- I like a little fire under the saddle -- tells me the horse is awake, listening, and reacting to their environment rather than just plodding along. Nice job with Cara -- you two look like a perfect match.

[@ThereseMoser]

I definitely agree, you have to meet them halfway and form a partnership. Thank you!

[@cassielou7283]

That's amazing

[@catbarr924]

I'm so proud of how far you have come - this is amazing and you have done so well with her. She truly is so lucky to have you

[@VictoriasHorsevlog]

Thank you for this Video! Your developement is amazing! My 4yo mare is also a little dragon but i know that ,when she trust and accepts me, she will do everything for me. Those horses are definately not the easiest but we learn so much from this rearing little beats :'D So your video is a total motivation to go on :)))

[@alenah.3623]

My English is bad so excuse me :D but you deserve my respect. The world needs people like you who don`t give up. So many horses die because people don`t know what to do with a "problem-horse" and then they send them to the butcher. But you know what to do, respect. I hope the improvment goes on. Love you videos.

Yes, it's sad when horses end up with being pts for having some issues :( Thank you ❤

omg I never realised how much you two changed but Cara and you have in such a short time so much achieved! Your are such an amazing rider with an amazing horse, I think Cara is a very very difficult horse to ride but when you ride her it looks so easy. When you got Cara she didn't look like a good jumper but a very low fat horse. Maybe we see you once at the olympics, I really think that. sorry for al the misspellings, english is very hard for me. *ps when I was watching this video I got goosebumps on my body ;:O
