Thank you to our lovely riders Megan and Jess. Well done to Jess in particular: a challenging day and she stayed so calm and confident throughout. Love to see it!

WHAT A BRILLIANT VIDEO RHI, THANK YOU.

[@melliejones810]

Great video Rhi and yes well done to both riders and horses especially Jess. She showed courage and determination to show her horse calmly whilst continually encouraging him over the fences 😁 Fab insight into any cross country beginners out there ❤

[@susanlambert8164]

Thanks Rhi for sharing and thanks to everyone for letting you film. It was great to see this kind of vlog there is a lot out there for show jumping but not seen anything like this for xc a good insight for beginners 👍

[@bbowyer8897]

Amazing video!

[@anniecampbell8554]

Thanks, Rhi. I think you have made a really important point about the building blocks. It was so clear with the riders and horses that a bit of this and a bit of that brought it all together. Something to focus on!

[@RidingWithRhi]

Absolutely ! I love the way Sarah teaches: it's very methodical and easy to understand.

[@celestinacowgirl9075]

[@ellapurdayeq]

This was so much fun to watch! Cant WAIT until you and Woody are doing this :)

[@RidingWithRhi]

Me too!

[@Lauzxm]

Great video! Gorgeous horses and both riders done absolutely fab!!!

[@christopherjones2884]

Great advice for beginners for cross country. Hopefully in the new year I'll be able to do my first country

[@lizbelli8287]

Great video! Im looking to get back into riding since I took a break after starting my career. I used to jump but didn’t do any cross country. This is definitely what I want to do! These riders did great. I love that they agreed to show the learning curve. That young lady riding the black horse did a lovely job. Just have to get back on!

[@RidingWithRhi]

She was fabulous wasn't she. Half of riding is a mental battle and she rose to the challenge 🙏🏻

[@kippen64]

Looking forward to watching you and Woody doing cross country training in the future. Enjoyed this video.

[@RidingWithRhi]

Ah yes, I got quite jealous watching them all go round! I can't wait to take him 👏🏻

[@isabellaaedwardss]

This is such a useful video! Do you mind me asking what camera you used to film the footage? I want to invest in a new camera 😄

[@RidingWithRhi]

Thank you - I use the Sony ZVE10, but was also looking a lot at the Canon m50.
