Apologies this one was abit late uploading guys… hope you enjoy it as much as I did. It was an Absolute honour to be allowed to ride the stunning Sox, I feel extremely Lucky and grateful to Cam ❤

[@romillyshorseyadventures8015]

What camera and microphones do you use as the quality and sound is fab and I need to upgrade mine

[@klaj6595]

Cam is like the proudest dad ever! What a magical horse

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

She’s amazing isn’t she

[@egeegee7146]

Sox is a testament to Cameron. What a stunning mare. And you Tina are another testament to Cameron’s talents and ability. Your riding has come on so well and your confidence in your ability improves daily. That man is your godsend.

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Thank you that really made me smile xx

[@MelBiggsMusic]

Well isn't she just absolutely gorgeous and special?! The way he rides his horses, and is training you, is SUCH a revelation to me but makes SO much sense!!! Its absolute proof is in the pudding of Sox - can't wait to see what this mare and him get up to in futiue! You're so good with her!

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

So so special feel very very lucky to have been allowed to ride her it was such a fab experience xx

[@kelseymacdonald7427]

I was so emotional watching this episode and truly see how far Tina’s confidence in herself has come along. It is so clear how much trust she has in Cam and how he knows exactly how much challenge to face her with. To get on a big expressive mare and pull out some gorgeous movements and be giggling and smiling but also determined to work hard rising to the occasion is so wonderful!

[@MaggieintheRain]

For the vloggers who have recently gotten microphones - it's okay to breathe hard! Riding is hard work, it's an full body workout and huffing and puffing is totally natural Loved the video! I would feel so intimidated by Socks 😳

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Thank you appreciate that feedback!!❤️

[@sp474]

Sox is stunning and she looks like a dream to ride. Tina you rode her beautifully! You are so blessed to be riding with such a talented trainer and coach. Thank you for another great video. ❤

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

She is incredible, certainly a credit to Cam

[@c_and_l]

Wow! She's got the buttons and is absolutely gorgeous, but by no means does she seem like an easy horse to ride. You rode brilliantly, and you should be very proud of yourself for that. I'm sure you felt an enormous amount of pressure to take care of her, and you absolutely lived up to it. What a great reward for all of your hard work!

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Thank you and yes It wasn't easy but very rewarding

[@fionabarton2258]

This was pure gold. Cam has such a connection with Sox even from the ground and Tina you were amazing.

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

They are both truly incredible!!

[@deborahlunt3478]

I love how proud cam is of her but he's made her the way she is, well done

[@TheJumpingGymnast]

There is honestly no better feeling than slowing your rising and the horse slowing down too

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

it was instantaneous too!!

[@janl8683]

Aww Tina, what an honour to be allowed to ride the gorgeous Sox. It is certainly a testament to how Cam thinks you riding has so much improved. You did so well, as it is hard when you are used to being on your own horse to riding such a big girl with different buttons. Really nice job and credit to Cam as your trainer 🥰

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

I feel incredibly lucky xx

[@rosielowe2890]

Cam has done a brilliant job with her, you can tell she’s his pride & joy!!

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

She really is and he’s worked very hard on her xx

[@julen2380]

I have to say Cameron makes me want to start riding again, get a horse and move to England just so I can train with him. He is amazing. I just love his mixture of an almost scientific approach, very classical riding and so much love and empathy for each horse and rider combination. And I find it so intersting that Sox seems to mirror him. She was quite firm in telling you when you did not get it right but was there for you to just keep trying. She really is a credit to Cam. And you did so super well!! When you figured out the buttons there were moments of absolute WOW! P.S.: And your big heart and generosity and pride in your friends and loved ones (incl the 4-legged ones) is at least as inspiring, Tina!

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Aaawww thank you that lovely comment really made me smile I feel very very lucky xx

[@marogers01]

What a gorgeous mare. That extended trot!

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

She’s Incredible

[@GloryToGodAlmighty]

So sweet. This is so neat and informative. Thanks for being the Guinea pig so we can see a horse teach the rider. 😊 I also love how her expression changed and she started really trusting you

[@LeanneWatersAuthor]

Loved loved LOVED this one! 😍 You rode beautifully Tina, and Cam you have Sox so light, flexible, and soft in all her gears!! ❤❤ Genuinely could watch you and Cam training all day, I always learn SO much (which my spicy mare thanks you for also 🤣). This video (and that extended trot) is giving me such winter goals, thanks for another fab video!! I'm behind on my vlogs this week and working backwards, so am now off you watch you riding Banksy bareback! 🤩

[@bethany6148]

Aah I honestly loved this!! Just the way Cameron talks about Sox is so lovely, he is so proud of her and really loves her and so he should be; what an absolute credit she is to him, she is incredible! In fact this has made me even more sure that if I ever get another horse or decide to compete again I NEED a Cam lesson.. you really did suit her and I think that it shows just how much your riding and confidence in your own ability has improved because I think maybe before you wouldn't have been so brave to get on such a big horse and ride her so competently. Fab vlog 😊 xx

[@elainetrindle329]

I’m so glad he’s so gentle with resources that is so important now days

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

He’s fabulous

[@kirstenadams8715]

Omg I am in love... Cam has done an incredible job with soxy 😍 you rode her soooo well Tina ❤️

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Aaawwwww thanks Kirsten. She’s incredible isn’t she xx

[@lottieandarthur]

You did amazing, I think I commented on a video a little while ago asking for tips about my first lesson. Grown past that, and so close to having my first canter. Thank you so much for the confidence you've given me, Tina x

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

That’s so fab to hear, well done xx

[@79buzzybee]

Hello Tina, Sox is certainly a beautiful mare; and in the video it is easy to see how 'light' Sox is despite her size. Cameron is also a fantastic trainer, and I like the way Cameron asks questions about your riding and how it feels for you; rather than telling you what to do. You and Cameron really bounce off each other which is positive for training, as you do with Banksy. I enjoyed how Cameron used the technique of Sox teaching you, that was really interesting. You are an amazing rider Tina, and rode Sox beautifully; and it is great to see you having fun while training, as well as doing the work. Your confidence is there, and it is great to see you blossoming. A lovely joyful Vlog 🙂 xx

[@delythturner744]

Wow just wow. She is stunning and that extended trot. Isn’t Cameron lovely and sox is a supermodel. Well done Tina loved this x❤❤❤

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Thanks it was such a fun day xx

[@devils.advocate2354]

Well rode Tina. I felt riding Sox allowed you to experience the feel of horse more responsive to seat leg aids... and it clicked for you. And how lovely did you look on Sox...she’s big girl but proportioned well. Really filled your leg out well. The Grinch hat was very apt for Cam as he did steal your saddle for bareback jumping😂 on that thought, Tina you make a beautiful Cindy Lou Who from Whoville 💜 (Dink’s still would be the Grinch’s Dog 😂)

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

She really did and it massively helped me understand some of the instruction cam has given me over the last 12 months xx

[@sparkle.-buggg3610]

Wow she very beautiful and what a gorgeous horse Cam she a credit to you he's incredible teaching and in the saddle Tina you rode her beautifully wow you've come along way finally you believe in you self ❤️

[@chrisdouglass7962]

WOW!!! Don't think I could do a rising trot but dang he's SUCH an excellent instructor and has trained her so well I think even I could wheelbarrow her around an arena!! 😜😄❤️❤️❤️

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Hehhehe!! She certainly was a pleasure to ride ❤️

[@ihay472]

Oh my goodness Sox is stunning and Cam's training is super impressive!! (I wish I could find an instructor like Cam)! You did so well on her Tina!

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Thanks I feel a very lucky lady xx

[@rainbowsandunicorns9196]

Wow Tina you looked amazing on her she's such a beautiful mare I'm so pleased you did really well what a powerful horse!!🐴❤❤❤😁😁😁🦄

[@ozbird03]

Wow, isn’t she utterly fabulous, so amazingly trained, you looked fabulous on her Tina. Cam is such an amazing trainer!!

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Thanks lovely I still pinch myself that he allowed me to ride her xx

[@vickwills5264]

This is all kinds of lovely, well done you, Sox looks like a joy! Also especially well done when you’re so used to one horse - you adapted and rode so well xxx

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Aaawww thanks Vick, appreciate the kind words xx

[@melaniejaynejones6436]

Sox is such a gorgeous girl, and you rode her well, Tina 😊 She seemed very attentive. Cameron is doing an amazing job with her.

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

She’s ace isn’t she!!

[@sheenashapland3394]

Woah. She is stunning, cam has done the most amazing job with her. What a dream it would be to ride a horse like Sox ❤

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

She’s incredible

[@Jzy21]

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

[@amystravels]

Tina, this is incredible! You look fantastic on Sox, wow 🤩 proving once again what a lovely rider you are 🙌🏻

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Aaawwww thanks Amy that is kind of you to say xx

[@janegoldstein8110]

Hi Tina, What an incredible horse Sox is. Wow your riding has come so far from a couple of years ago, Sox ,really does understand what you are asking of her, I think she knows you are getting a bit tired so she is having you on a bit. Well done Tina, very good lesson. Jane 👍😎🐎🐴🧑🏻‍🦰

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Thanks Jane xx

[@ponylife2785]

Sox looks lovely 🥰 cam has done a brilliant with her, you guys look very nice together xx

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

It sure does!!🤍

[@anniecampbell8554]

Thanks Tina and Cam. This was such an interesting demo of everything Cam has been teaching you and Banksy, Tina. The lightness as so visible and the times you got it spot on were beautiful. Cam has clearly done a huge amount of training with the gorgeous Sox! Happy Holidays to you all!!

[@suedunn7531]

Tina there is just somthing about u on a mare u look amazing both on soz and addie ..... cam is such a proud daddy as he should be x

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Thank you Christine, I feel incredibly lucky to have been given the opportunity xx

[@lucysavin851]

Oh my god I am sooo jealous!! Sox is absolutely beautiful and you did an amazing job riding her so wonderfully! Well done ❤️🎅 xxx

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Stunning isn’t she!!x

[@heatherradford1994]

What an amazing vlog Tina. Cameron is just adorable and how lovely to see him and the bond he has with his beautiful girl. I really didn't want this one to end. Tina you looked amazing riding her and how well did you do. Its always a bit nervy riding someone else's horse but wow you did yrself proud. Its wonderful how Cameron teaches and helps you understand. Wish there had been a Cameron when I started riding lol. Great vlog again and can't wait for the next one 😀

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Thanks Heather, it certainly did help me understand everything more in relation to what he wants me to achieve with Banksy too. I feel very lucky to have been allowed to ride her she is a sensational horse.xx

[@heatherradford1994]

@Life On The Left Rein honestly you really rode her well and she's completely different to Banksy to ride too. I just loved it and Cameron gets so much out of you too. I love all Yr vlogs but this one is one of my favourite ha. Keep doing what Yr doing xx

[@fionacosgrave7835]

Really really enjoyed this. Sox is just incredible. Would love to know how Cameron keeps her in such amazing condition over the winter. Your riding Tina is absolutely amazing! Have made a massive breakthrough ourselves with our flatwork and can’t believe how actually finding your core and using ur legs properly make such a difference. Thought my big 17.3Hh boy was always very heavy in my hand but I was so wrong, I just didn’t ride correctly! Absolutely loved this Tina and love watching how amazing your riding has become. Inspiring ☺️☺️🤩

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Aaawwww thanks lovely!! It’s insane how different it feels when it just clicks isn’t it xx

[@clarecoombes7069]

Sox is absolutely to die for, what a beautiful mare!! You rode her really well too Tina!😊

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Thanks Clare, I feel very lucky to have been given the opportunity xx

[@MeanttobeeventingToby]

Wow what a great opportunity to ride the wonderful Sox! You did so well. This was great to watch, learnt a lot, she’s the most stunning horse and Cameron is a brilliant instructor. Would love a lesson with him xx

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

He’s just fabulous isn’t he!! As are his horses!!x

[@patriciaemms1902]

That was so interesting, all the things Cam has been explaining make sense on a well trained horse, brilliant vlog, thanks guys. Of course the star of the show was the gorgeous mare lol 🤣

[@JenniferJCouch]

Great vlog Tina. You did so well on Sox. She is one stunning mare! Her movements are total grace in motion! Fun fun. Sox looked lovely in her new Christmas rug. A great lesson for you with Cameron and riding a horse so soft in her beautiful dressage mode. Love it. Stay safe. 💙🐎😎

[@melleoh8129]

What an awesome video, it was like auditing a mini clinic! My abs were sore just watching, well done and great content!

[@cojocinder8109]

Cameron is so wonderful!! And you did a great job on a sensitive mare! Looked fun! 🎉

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Thank you I feel very lucky to have been allowed to ride her x

[@mediceventer]

I love Sox! Cam is a great rider and great teacher. Tina you did a great riding Sox, after Cam taught how to ride her. And I think after you settled down, once you weren't nervous with her. I have ridden a 17.2 hd Hosteiner gelding. Had such big gaits. His name was Celebrity. loved him he was a bay and had a white blaze down his face. Love the vlog.

[@pamblackwell6405]

Every colour is your colour Cam. I love Cam, and he's very good looking

[@ds_equine5568]

You did a fab job! Watching this is really motivated me to teach my youngster to be light and responsive from the seat and legs , really has inspired me thank you ❤

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Thanks I’m glad to hear that xx

[@lemmebeawinnerequestrian7555]

Holy Horse, she is gorgeous 😍 💖 great job Tina, you have just blown up in your confidence and riding! I love watching your journey.

[@sara-janemitchell3722]

Love your confidence since having Cameron train you , a much better fit ! Can have a laugh , embrace that you do film but still gets you back to it with a Focus ! 😂 you looked great on Sox well done , bet Banksy felt like a 12.2 after that 😂

[@KCandy560]

Sox is gorgeous, what a fab video!!

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

She truly is sensational

[@jessicahigdon3962]

Great video Tina. Great riding. Cameron is so nice to let you ride her. What a lovely girl. Great video.

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

[@ZenaZee]

This was brilliant, I so enjoyed this as it was so educational and fun to watch. What a stunning, beautiful horse, you did so well and Cameron is a superb trainer. Thank you ❤

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Glad you enjoyed it Cam is so fab and has trained Sox so beautifully she is sensational xx

[@bqualitysnake6549]

I feel your panic letting the reins go, I was riding hard mouthed, hard to stop riding school horses for years then got to try a western reining horse. Going into trot or canter with NO contact is TERRIFYING the first few hundred times, but it unlocked something in my mind and completely changed my style of riding. The horses I rode became much softer. Giving them the fair chance to be soft and listen back despite the gaits or speed is so hard to hard to do when you haven't been able to before but so rewarding once you know you can trust them. If reiners and cutting riders can get their bullet fast quarter horses to slide to a stop from a leg or voice cue, we don't have to use heavy reins as a first resort to slow down even in eventing. You can reprogram yourself and the horse more than you think.

[@hceventing]

Sox is absolutely incredible what an opportunity for you!

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

I was a very very lucky girl

[@Duckydawn]

I’m beaming for you watching you ride the gorgeous Sox. Well done x

[@ingalinden4097]

Beautiful mare beautifully ridden, Tina! Cam is fab too. Can't wait to see what else you get up to in future vlogs. Enjoy Canada (would love to see a little vlog about that at some stage, but do understand that you're on holidays so might not want to work 😜 love what you've posted on Instagram so far).
