Riding at an Olympic World Class Equestrian Facility! Karlswood with Cian O'Connor | This Esme

[@kaileemccurdy]

This man truly loves and cares for his horses. From the feeder at the back of the stall to him mentioning each horse and how he loved them you could really tell his heart was with the horses. So sweet!

It’s truly amazing

[@ariesblitz]

Right?? I was so impressed with his compassion for the animals.

[@barryscanlan6380]

Hi

[@tink1235]

What a really lovely heartfelt man....and an equestrian center to die for....some very lucky horses and riders over in Ireland. It was an excellent video..thoroughly enjoyed watching and very informative too...many congratulations all round x

[@victoriamccloskeycoates9009]

I am an Irish rider and we have very lucky horses indeed!

[@oop.8523]

@Sharon Keogh you will get one I feel it!

[@Ihaveadog230]

Something makes me wanna believe that Ireland’s Spirit animal is a horse! But we do have lovely horses over here.

[@zoiemitzel7112]

This man truly knows horses. He understands the balance between competitive and rehab for the horses. I completely agree with how horses should be outside and in their natural environment. Well done

[@katecarlisle4011]

the thought about these types of places is that people would be snobby as they have SO much funds for it all, but Cian is so incredibly genuine and so very heartfelt. you can tell how much he loves and cares for his horses and it shows. its a very refreshing feeling, such a gentle soul. and what an absolutely magnificent place, wow.

[@EmGoesVroom]

Can I mention how amazing those kids are, probably the best young riders I have seen, they are so lucky to have a father like that, he cares for the horses so well and has such a lovely facility. And Esme, you rode that horse so well for not riding it before. 🥰

[@nickyw4779]

What a very amiable man Cian is! So friendly, relaxed and passionate for his horses. This video is a great advertisement for him and his stables.

[@marthac7003]

I love how well thought out the design of the stables are and he really thinks about what is best for his horses ❤️ great video as always

[@suzannekate22]

What a lovely guy, so good to see horses kept so well and their welfare being priority, love it 👏

[@jane_eyes]

Yeah

[@lichtenauer4348]

Im really impressed how nice he was with Esme while she rode. I love that he has in mind that she doesn’t know the horse perfectly after 5 minutes!

[@annlacelle1877]

I love how much Karlswood cares about the health and rest of horses on a daily basis! It would be my dream to build a stable like that! You earned this Esme and Cian with all that hard work you put into it!

[@eqamirah]

This looked like a blast!You rode amazingly.

[@Jake53495]

This looked so fun! Everything there is like the dream! 😂 and the horse you rode was so pretty! 🥰love you Esme!😊

[@gracemitchell7197]

Just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to film these videos and travel places for our entertainment! It has been a rough year for a lot of people but you are the one thing I can look forward to ♥️ Love you Esme 🤍

[@aixoia]

i love Cian, you can tell he just loves each and every one of his horses, and never takes them for granted or thinks of them as machines. you just know that he's always trying to let his horses live the best life, and he's so grateful for all they've done for him.

[@adellasong]

Omg! I love your new profile! Esme’s videos are only getting better and better as the days pass. Love you esme!

Everything this guy said was so true. He’s not like other huge barns that don’t allow turn out etc. He cares for them TRUELY it’s amazing. Definitely a inspiration

[@chivasmom2024]

Karlswood is a simply Stunning horse utopia! The horses are so obviously happy there, nice quiet eyes and calm faces, even though they are highly trained and fit athletes. Cian is so dedicated and tuned into horses physical and emotional wellbeing, a pleasure to learn about this amazing home! He children are so adorable and amazing riders too. Esme, your ride on Katie was so well done. She might be the most talented horse we have seen you ride, and you rode her splendidly. What a fabulous opportunity.

[@Oggequintero]

That’s Lovely😍 It is so fun to see the top riders who let’s there horses to be horse, and don’t just have them in the stable and don’t let them go outside.

[@gretagiannoccaro4811]

What an amazing facility with the horses needs at heart - Cian seems like such a sweetheart, and Esme you made the conversation flow effortlessly. ❤️

[@122Kittykat]

Wow, that seemed like so much fun, you really are so good when sitting on a horse. Katie was adorable and Mr. O'Connor seemed like such a nice person to get along with. He is very personable. When he said his daughter loved you, I thought, yeah who doesn't! Thank you for a great video!

[@colquhoun9012]

Wow. It must be amazing travelling to all these places. Your videos are so exciting and entertaining.

[@RGW12]

Your living the dream. 4 beautiful horses, a beautiful yard, a great community, meeting other equestrians, and being able to travel to meet other beautiful horses. Love you esme. Can you please do a collab with Erin Williams

[@gladysboro7524]

This was such an amazing video, and put together so well. This looks like you had a blast, and that barn is breathtaking❤️ To see how Karl’swood values horse care as top priority was incredible. Cian seemed like such a heartfelt passionate guy! You looked great riding Katie as well! Great video, you truly an inspiration esme!💗

[@theresastephens8962]

Katie's excitement as she arrived at each jump was super cute! 🥰

[@nellwatkinsfaux]

he puts hislife an work into his horses! it shows he loves them dearly and would do anything to look after and love them with all the care and love in the world!🥰

[@monicaahrens8731]

Lovely, friendly and unpretentious interview. Cian seems like a really genuine individual. Esme, as per usual well done!

[@ellacrotty2869]

I was supposed to ride tomorrow but since I fell off a few days ago so I wasn’t really feeling it but for some reason you’ve inspired me to thank you so much Esme 🥰 ❤️thank you so much

[@xxhorsesrulexx4936]

The fact that you travel to entertain us is amazing 🤩 your the best esme! I have never ever seen such a good horse rider like you! 💖💕

[@neoandlykkecat]

What a beautiful facility! Cian O'Connor seemed absolutely lovely as well, nice to see someone care so immensely about their horses.

[@thegeekyequestrian971]

I love his daughter running around in the background during the interview. Kids will be kids!

[@imjustabee]

I'm in utter awe with how stunning this facility is. Not only is it beautiful looking, but the care and attention that goes into each of their horses is just mind blowing. All horses deserves the best possible care, but for horses that travel and compete regularly it's so amazing to see how much luxury they have. All his horses will go far that's for sure, and after a days training they get a nice spa to recoup in! Absolute props to this man for what he's doing, he sets such a fantastic standard and example for competing stables

[@annaligbaker]

What a lovely man and those little children..... melted my actual heart

[@annjohnson8437]

WOW... this truly is a center of excellence!!! Amazing facility with such great care for the horses!!! Thanks for sharing this terrific tour! 😊

[@allysmith2284]

Love their Ethos….. care of the horses and taking things slowly is what it should always be about 🥰🥰

[@gillybee5565]

Thing i like about you Esme is, your not smug you do things around your yard yourself and you came from a normal horsey background. Your more likeable because of your relatability. Some horsey folk are born with that silver spoon and just talk about brands and medals etc

[@gillybee5565]

Wow how those horses are pampered. Amazing.

[@annieridesagain3867]

What a nice family the O' Connor's seem to be. I bet they manage to keep their staff too, as it looks like everyone's happy and relaxed as well as the all important horses.

[@psky123]

Esme's videos are like film making quality, and Joey is getting lighter by the week, time flies, Esme!!!

[@AyuuLea]

Watching that little boy ride though! Like Wow! Most kids I know at that age are only just starting to learn how to ride or learning to post. Man if he can already ride that well at his young age, imagine his riding when he becomes an adult. That is a child who was born in the saddle. I'm rooting for yah little guy!

[@brookes.journey1532]

He sounds so sweet! And he cares so much about his horses! To make sure there all healthy and well x

[@bewarethechestnutmare5272]

Awwww what a gentleman 🥺🥺 Esme rode that really well and such a refreshing change to hear no horse walker, just good old fashioned turn out and hacking 👌

[@sarahblanchard8106]

The stables are amazing! Cian O'Connor seems to love his horses very much and everything is done to ensure that they have a beautiful and comfortable life. This video is a real pleasure to watch. By the way, you rode very well!

[@lillianschwer94]

You looked so confident. Both of you worked very well together

[@tonymoore93]

Let’s just thank esme for posting all the time and appreciate her hard work, so thank you esme we really appreciate it ❤️❤️ from grace

[@Chillieandbean]

So fun to see these stables; absolutely stunning!! Wonderful to see how much thought and consideration went into the design and the care these horses receive. You rode amazingly and loved when he said, "she might be a little fresh"! Lol! Really enjoyed watching the whole video!❤

[@khadijamoustafa4584]

This video turned to be more better than i expected. You and Katie did awesome job. You were so confident and amazing. I absoloutley loved this video! I saw you enjoyed it there. Thank you for sharing this with us, :)

Woah!!! I will say as a student vet, (hoping to go into equine surgery) See thingslike this make my day!! It really keeps me going through the gritty and tedious anatomy! Thank you Esme for being such an awesome person and I hope to maybe meet you one day)

[@thesaddlelife3568]

You can tell this man really cares about his horses. ❤️ I feel like once riders get up to a Grand Prix+ level, they kinda let it get to their heads and forget about letting their horses be horses. But not with this man. So sweet!

[@joant0675]

[@aline-12.S]

Amazing and great that some riders on a high level still think about the nature of horses ! Wonderful Video Esme.

[@tracybice6984]

You can see the love given to these athletes. ❤️

[@dressage_fever6175]

What a nice guy!! And beautiful place. So lovely how they look after the horses. Fab riding too x

[@melliejones810]

OMG, wow I am in awe of Carlswood. What an amazing establishment. Kian and his wife have gone to extreme lengths to provide an amazing place for all their horses. The horses well being is paramount and it truly shows. Like he said the horses give so, so much and they reward them will the love and care these gorgeous horses sorely deserve ❤ Great riding Emse on Katie. Another grey 🌝 She was stunning and you looked so relaxed and professional on her. She was keen 😊 So lovely to see the children riding and can't believe Cara. She was such a sassy rider for a five year old. Loved, loved watching this vlog. Kian was such a true gentleman.

[@laurenschenck5355]

Such a GORGEOUS STABLE and and so happy you got to ride that gorgeous mare 🐴🐴🎄♥️❤️❤️💚✨✨🐴♥️❤️❤️🎄❤️♥️🐴🙌🏻✨🐴♥️♥️💚💚🐴♥️❤️🎄🎄🐴♥️💚✨♥️♥️

What an absolutely incredible place 😍I have never seen anything like this!!

[@millyboop2047]

XD Kara vibing running around the hedge circles

[@NYCisland]

WOW WOW what an incredible stable - 60 acres, the buildings and style is magical. I'd live there in a second. They recognize these horses are the best of the best and give them superior care to keep them going well and perform to the high standards they need to stay in the competition. I'm sure this place costs many millions to build and manage.

[@GlengormleyAthletics]

the way the horses look at the camera........you are such a good rider!! love you XX

[@bcsibilla6251]

What a kind man and amazing facility! Thank you for bringing us here Esme 🥰
