TRAINING OR *UN*TRAINING | First Jump of 2023

[@TinaWenham]

Can I just say you look so beautiful in this intro. Smiling suits you and you can tell that your mindset work is reflecting in your face now. Keep going. You inspire me so much.

[@katylake7806]

cant wait for a podcast! i so often put your vlogs on in the background when doing work but get distracted! so a podcast would be PERFECT!

[@isabellaaedwardss]

I listen to your vlogs like a podcast! They are so lovely to listen to

[@ithulah]

Love Tina Boss mode!! Keep it up, keep asking for more from your gorgeous chappy! You are very capable and I'm really looking forward to seeing your year. ❤️

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Thanks Alyssa appreciate your kind words and support xx

[@rachel3591]

was so excited for this vlog!! i can already see improvements in your mindset, and hearing Emily's commentary- she doesnt mess around does she? 😂 riding great Tina!!

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

She sure doesn’t!! Lol xx

[@chloecotton6787]

Tina you were absolutely glowing in this video, so beautiful! Really nice to see you and banksy with your spark back ❤️

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Thank you so much Chloe xx

[@Whizzywelsh_Eventing]

Oh my god I remember that banana flavoured medicine from ear infections 🤢. Great vlog Tina, I’m so happy that you’ve found someone to talk to that’s helping - be proud of yourself! Xxx

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Absolutely vile wasn’t it!! I used to have it for ear infections and tonsillitis… finally got my tonsils removed at 24 😂 And thank you it’s really helping me and I actually look forward to the sessions each week xx

[@NoThankUBeQuiet]

I'm feeling bad our amoxicillin was bubble gum flavored and delicious

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

@@NoThankUBeQuiet 😂 that’s not fair!! Lol

[@julialeblanc1875]

Girl I am so proud of you. The mindset sessions are helping, talking yourself through it was a great idea, and having a friend to hold you accountable is also awesome. You always stayed positive and knee you had the ability. As a rider who teaches students at the national level, I look at a 90 fence now that I'm in my mid 30s and am a mom, and I go how did that ever seem small to me, I can talk myself into doing it, but I use to jump novice height and never be afraid, my horse is very similar to banksy, trusts me a ton, I trust her, I know she will and can do it, but I do need to be in charge of she gets strong and takes over because one of us has to make a choice, I didn't like you, have a major incident that caused me to feel this way, it fort of just happened. I am inspired watching you work so hard on this as I want to get past this block I have. I would like to find a sports coach too some time. I think it could be great for me. Thanks for sharing your journey.

[@kathrynlawson8357]

Loved the Vlog Tina and it was great to see you so focused, looks like the lessons with Cam and the Lady you are chatting too is working wonders! Bansky is looking fab too.

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Thank you appreciate the support

[@yorkshirelass1297]

Absolutely fab session Tina & Banksy!!!❤ I just love the expression on his gorgeous face, ears always pricked and looking so keen, he loves his job so much! And as for you T, you made me smile for the whole vlog! Your attitude throughout was just brilliant, love seeing your happy smiley face. When you were telling him off for breaking into canter when you were just wanting an extension of your trot was just great, it was like "no Boo I'm in charge today, not you, you WILL do as you are told!" Your positive, strong attitude was brilliant hun, and to see you as keen as boyo to be jumping again with a huge smile on your face just makes me so happy for you! Looking forward to your next vlog as always hun, take care and keep smiling T, love ya hun xxxx

[@devils.advocate2354]

Tina... keep this up and you will smash through the goals you set. Focus was much improved. Your school was lovely. You didn’t make excuses and you rode. Best was right rein flat work canter when you lost stirrup. You keep riding and rode thru his issue and you got it back. I felt that moment was the most confident I’ve heard/seen you ride. You are an effective rider when you focus and chose to be. Great job. Everything we do around/on them is training or untraining. That was definitely a training lesson😁 appreciated Em holding you accountable... her eye and training is coming along so well also. Can’t wait for Podcast 💜

[@issy1233]

Yes I would love a podcast!!! So good to see you happy and enjoying your pony again ♥

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Yay, thank you Issy xx

[@margiesmith8912]

Happy to see you & Sir Banksy jumping again. You & Em are so funny, I love hearing you laugh together. I also really like the music you pick. Would you consider putting the name of the songs on your vlog when they're playing?

[@garypriestley9288]

Lovely vlog, Tina. Em did a great job as stand in coach - reminds me of your gig on Swipe Up & Kick On, coaching Cam!

[@jackiep828]

So confident and focused Tina. Banksy was very happy to be out again 😀. Can't wait for your podcast. I remember that banana medicine 🤮 I used to have it followed by a opal fruit (starburst) . xx

[@ponymadgirl]

Glad to see you so happy and buzzing about being out jumping. So pleased your going to do a podcast 👏🏻 thanks for being so honest Tina, i think some therapy may benefit me just need to pluck up the courage.

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Thank you, It’s been so so beneficial to me, I honestly can’t recommend it enough. But do think finding the right person is super important too xx

Take the washing machine in your horse box, girl power! We need you dropping it off on a vlog as closure!

They are so comfy and not remotely bulky. I’ll pop the link in the description box xx

You can get USB-C hubs for laptops which include a USB-C connector on them that you can plug your charger into. So it's possible to use the USB-C both to plug things into and to recharge your laptop.

I was looking at that YFood & they won't ship to the USA. I wanted some it looks like a good breakfast.

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Hoping they will be doing so soon 🤞

[@Jzy21]

Emily needs to start her bhs exams, just saying 👩🏼‍🏫 ✏️!! Tina, your confidence is evidently increased since I started watching you just last year. I’m excited to follow your journey this year!

[@lauralamour5944]

Great vlog Tina ! Personally I’d have taken the Yfood AND the Yorkie! 😋 Quick suggestion : when you put music in the background but people are still talking, maybe use music without words? I find it hard sometimes to understand what’s being said with singing in the background. Which is a shame as your new mics are brill! As for the breathing and sniffly sounds, I wouldn’t have noticed if you hadn’t mentioned them so don’t feel you have to apologise 😉 And who doesn’t hear those sounds when they’re riding?!

[@444daisyxoxo]

Are you doing sj at Badminton with Banksy? I'm going and I'd love to watch you if your going xx

[@eq.MaikaC]

Hiiii !!! 😊❤

Can't get the lassi ones at the minute they are sold out. I only really like those ones.

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Same!! My absolute favourite although I do like the coffee and the vanilla too, but not a big fan of the sweeter ones. Hopefully won’t be long before lassi is Back 🤞

Omg no one notices the washing mashing before you mention it 🤣🤣 now you have to keep it as a prop or Vlog taking it to the tip 😂😂

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

A vlog purely dedicated to that 😝🙈😂

[@79buzzybee]

Hi Tina, I very much enjoy your Vlogs and I have learned alot from you. I don't know you apart from what I watch on your Vlogs, and you don't know me at all, and I am no expert. I am going to be blunt, so take a deep breath! Forget about any distractions such as a washing machine, dropping your drink and so on; these are little things. The biggest goal in your life right now is 'Badminton', and that is just round the corner. Your anxieties appear high, and this is interfering with your training, and focus. My opinion is to work on bringing down your anxieties, and not allow any distractions; as your anxieties will travel into Sir Banksy too. Badminton is just around the corner, and this is a once in a lifetime opportunity; in my opinion you need to be 'focused'. In my opinion it is okay for some fun with your pony, as that relieves stress, increases trust and bond, and reduces anxiety; but still stay focused on your ultimate goal, and that is Badminton. Forget what Robbie is taking to eat with him for Golf, forget all those niggely distractions. Your focus is 'Badminton'. Tina, you eat, drink, sleep, and train Badminton. A technique to try, is to visualize yourself finishing in the top ten for Badminton to help you focus in your training; and do not focus on what could go wrong, or any other tittle tattle distractions. Calm down, head up high, and focus on your ultimate goal; and that is Badminton. Use your training wisely to iron out the creases, and think Badminton. Focus Tina, you can do it! At this moment in life, Badminton is your life; this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. No self doubts, no tittle tattle distractions - Focus for your ultimate current goal that you and Sir Banksy, have worked so hard for, and this is Badminton! Within your life, you are the one who is training for Badminton, you are the one who is going to be competing in Badminton; you need to stay focused. You are a fantastic equestrian, and your whole life at this moment in time is 'Badminton'. Because if you do not give it your all I am guessing that will be disappointing for you. But if you give it your all, you will complete the Badminton event with your head held high, no matter where you place. To help yourself stay focused, focus on mindfulness to improve concentration and bring your anxieties down, do not focus on tittle tattle distractions, visualize yourself coming in at top ten at Badminton when your training, and go for it. Easy for me to say, I am not competing in Badminton, but you are; and this is a once in a life time opportunity. Focus Tina, you can do this. Badminton is currently your life! There are no second chances when you are competing in Badminton. Focus and enjoy your victory knowing you gave it your all. There is no shame in where you place, as long as you have given it your all. Focus Tina, Badminton is your life right now. In regards to the podcast, perhaps start that after you have competed in Badminton, because for now; Badminton is your life. Go for it!

[@kiwi_cornish_dream1421]

Interesting that you used to suffer from ear aches. I recently found out that my childhood ear aches were all due to an intolerance to dairy! My own children have now gone from 3 to 6 ear aches a year to ZERO over the last 3 years
