Yes! I can't even count how many different equestrian challenges Esmes done! She's incredible ☺️🐎

Well done! I would die jumping side saddle. “I look like the fat controller” you had me falling off my chair 😂

For anyone who needs to hear this: Horse riding is a really hard sport, even if you can only jump 30cm in trot that’s still really good, don’t compare yourself it takes ages to learn and your doing something thousands of people could never do ❤

[@juliapleass7805]

Wow, riding side saddle is a true art form in my opinion. I’ve tried it once or twice and I couldn’t even trot. You definitely aced this challenge Esme today. Well done!❤️❤️

[@paradiseequestrian6195]

One time I was riding my horse and I was very bored so I did bare back side saddle

[@kwangsoo515]

From what I've heard it's best to skip trotting and instead cantering because it's less bouncy. I've also heard that there was an old saying that "a lady never trots."

[@equinesociety]

"I am an elegant lady" BEST THING I HAVE EVER HEARD! You really are!

[@ThatOneEquestrian.]

I love how esme doesn't let a fall stop her from doing these really fun challenges! she has such a nice personality as well.

[@emmaequines4118]

That looks so difficult but it also seems like a ton of fun!

[@ellabellapferd5939]

My spirits rise when you upload a video! Toby is so adorable. Love your videos❤️

[@niniemecanik]

Me after reading the title: "YES!!!!" Me during the video: omg I'm obsessed with the instructor's hair 😍... and toby ❤❤❤. And you learn so quickly Esme 😮

[@tuliphill3775]

I have a side saddle that was my great grandmas, I’ll occasionally use it on a friends horse (I exercise her 3-4x a week since she can’t because of volleyball) I don’t use it for very long or very often, but it is fun, definitely going to use some tips from this video- I don’t think I’ll be able to give up my regular jumping saddle though 😂

[@hiiqq]

I only started riding 3 months ago now I'm addicted 😂 side saddle sounds impossible for me-

[@meggyj5054]

This just goes to show what a good and professional rider you are Esme, I have been riding for over 4 years and I know that's not that long but I am very good at riding and I would be scared stiff to even attempt trotting sidesaddle. I can sit and walk sidesaddle but. Love how you try new horse sports and challenges, you're never afraid to give things a go. From here in Australia, Have a wonderful day!

[@natdeb8004]

From Aus too!

Awww I’d love to try that! I’ve only done like what you’ve done on Casper before 😂 I would probably fall off though 😂 Bear is gorgeous! 😍💖

[@littlemillies5621]

The horses are so cute!! You done so well and I bet it was so much fun! It looks really hard, if I tried i would fall straight off 🤣 Ps your the best youtuber ever! ❤❤🐴🐴

[@callienn]

Can we take a minute to talk about how beautiful Tonya's hair is? She has such a full ponytail!

[@Dulcie-dd7uk]

This is so cool to watch cuz my pony I got just over 6 months ago and he has previously done side saddle shows

[@anisakuhl7870]

[@victoriamittendorf9708]

I Love how you say I AM A ELEGANT LADY

[@hesbskdnb]

Wow esme! You did so well considering it was your first time! I could never do that xxxxx

[@Ilovefeetincredibly]

Listen Esme… this is coming from a person with depression. You may not think it’s much as you are such a cheerful person, but your videos are always so cheerful and enthusiastic. Love you Esme❤

[@rowdyrats7035]

This video made me laugh so much! Thank you Esme for making my evening better, today has been a very hard day for me emotionally.

[@aimeepitre9314]

this looks so fun what an interesting thing to try out!

[@kianna7415]

Omg i love your videos and I am constantly talking about your last videos.

[@neoandlykkecat]

I have watched people ride side saddle on television and on KZbin before and I think it look so elegant. But I will never be brave enough to try it myself. You are so brave and you did an awesome job. Well done! So proud of you, Esme! Have a wonderful weekend! Hugs from Norway.

[@horsegirl887]

That seems like it would be super hard but also i want to try it, looks like loads of fun!

[@matthibbs3165]

love love love I would love to do that

[@Sarahdippnall.3185]

Hi esme! You are a huge inspiration for me, I had a bad fall on Wednesday and I was hoping you would have any tips to get my confidence back for jumping again. We were going into a jump and my horse tripped and fell on me, we are both ok and we got the vet to come and check her, and the fiscio also came to massage her, I am also ok but I have lost a lot of my confidence and watching you jump side saddle amazes me!! You are so brave! I take my hat off for you! P.S I love Bridgeton!!! 😂

[@lily-db9co]

I know this probably isn't any help but we all have confidence knocks it just takes time and patience to get over them. ☺️

[@ponytales.]

Very very elagent Lol! I can't wait to watch. And first ^•^

[@anp3535]

Bridgerton vibes all over! 😂 Also, imagine your horse spooking and bolting whilst riding sideways 😭😭 I'd be on the floor in a milisecond

[@NoEventingHere]

Wow you inner lady is definitely elegent !!

[@iimxblslife6282]

You are a very good rider! I hope you are okay after falling off! Your balance is very good!

[@LifewAvaxo]

First! Oh no! I hope your okay! Love you so much Esme❤️❤️❤️🐴🐴🐴 Side saddle seems really fun! I’m to scared to try😂

[@ArgiesWasTaken]

This video sounds amazing! Side saddle sounds so fun.

Haha you are a amazing rider, when I rode side saddle I feel right off, great video Esme!!

[@harmonyequestrian4733]

Thank you soo much for the heart Esme it made my day!

Your videos always bring a smile to my face ! Love them so much!

[@aboobie_baum]

I have a horse named Toby and he just wanders off( which i guess says something about me) and he is a good horse but i don't think i would ever take him to do side saddle because he just would star chasing butterfly's.

[@2friends2horses4]

toby is soooo cute I love him

[@alessiaism3]

Lol that look fun but hard !

[@deequinegirlll9771]

I used to do side saddle! Oh is really fun but jumping is q bit risky depending on the horse lol 😂

[@deequinegirlll9771]

Also tysm for likening this I love your channel sm! 💖

[@caoimhenoland8040]

Hello!This is a great video!now at the end of most of my lessons,if we’re cooling down,I sit side saddle.Except I don’t have the proper saddle:(I sit the proper way tho lol!

I panicked a tad when I saw the title that you fell off ✨😅✨, Hope you're ok✨✨

[@horselife4678]

I love the wonky hat silks

[@juliacox2565]

Ahh, I know that yard!! You were literally 2 mins drive away from my family home. My mum first learnt to ride there back in the 1980s, and when I was a young child I went with my dad to watch her ride a few times. And I’ve ridden there myself a couple of times over the years. The lovely arena you were in, is a new addition though. There was an outdoor arena there before but definitely not as nice as that one! You did SO well riding side saddle.. many years ago I had a go at it at a Pony Club rally one time and it is the strangest sensation!

[@sellouiseeventing2995]

Thats tricky....I hope u don't hurt yourself to bad

[@grace4939]

Why am I obsessed with the saddle

[@emilyrushall]

Hi I love ur vids I just got TikTok and u were the first person I folowed
