Trying Horses in Europe!

[@alextrubey]

Hey everyone! I hope you enjoyed the video! Leave a comment below letting me know what you thought and which horse was your favorite! Have a great day ❤😊

[@WildFlowersNWildMustangs]

You rode all of them quite well but the bay mare you retried I thought suited your style best.

[@sahoyt9434]

I also like the bay mare, uphill, wants to jump, great knees, with a really good rhythm and no funny business on the backside. Those are some lovely horses. She's 11, so in her prime right now.

[@milesOFglory]

If you didn’t buy horse #5 could you somehow send his ad to me he’s exactly what I’m looking for in a horse.

[@nonieharries7441]

The bay mare is super! She’s athletic, snaps her knees up well but also doesn’t waste time or energy in the air… a lovely type!

[@alextrubey]

I agree! She was amazing to ride too! ❤️

[@arthurgodeia]

it's been soo long since I watched trying horses videos and that one is definitely more than what I expected, the editing and camera quality were awesome!! (THAT MARE just had me in love with the very first sight, I think you chose her)

[@alextrubey]

ahhh thank you so much! it means so much to me, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! and yes that mare is quite special and was an amazing ride for sure! hopefully not long until I can announce my choice!

[@KMartha22]

number 5 knew her job!

[@riddlussy3109]

The bay mare was absolutely stunning, she was also quick and a good jumper, I would definitely choose her! Cant wait to see what your choice was!

[@biahnpallister9168]

#5 and #7 look super cool, you seemed really comfortable on them aswell!! The bay has lovely movement and a nice jump, but the grey has a really amazing floaty jump, you can tell he will have an amazing jumping career in the future!! 😍😍😍

[@strillos5096]

number #7 had such an amazing movement, you can see all the power this has inside. So energetic and careful at the same time.

[@chloeweinbaum4104]

I think you should get #5 bay mare bc the horse looked excited and nice gaits and all that but you looked the best (in my opinion) you looked calm and confident and it seemed like y’all had a connection. She looked like she wanted to work and take care of you.

[@emme_eq]

I’m going to Germany this summer to find my next horse I’m so excited! I love these types of vlogs so much!

[@Lila.x0]

Definitely number 7! He was extra floaty and his movement over the jumps were so gorgeous. Not to mention his beauty as well! ♡

[@horseandogs]

I loved grey #1 and bay mare #5, you just seemed to flow really nicely with those two!

[@thelunicornandme]

What an amazing two weeks you must have had! 🤩 I like the 2nd and the 5th horse. ☺️

[@alextrubey]

It was amazing! I’m so grateful for the experience! ❤😊

[@shortymcfox2251]

You could tell by your 2 and 3 point which horse you looked the most comfortable in and even while in a slow canter relaxing. #7 you looked your best out of all of them. Your body was relaxed, both of you were good in positioning and communication/trust was spot on. Good looking horse. #3 you both were well together but the overall confirmation looked a bit off. Whichever you pick, I’m sure you both will be wonderful together. In my 50 plus years with horses, I’ve always like the European training (just my age showing lol) God bless your journey 🌻

[@alextrubey]

Thank you! ☺️

[@richardhoffend5870]

Great video. Bay horse #6 (after Munster), is so athletic! Deep spots super kind. Perfect distances he jumps a 10. Great lift scopey! Soft in the mouth looks through the bridle! I wish you’d tell us ages and exactly what you’re looking for. Amateur jumper? Low, medium, big? U 25? 2 weeks in Europe horse shopping what a fantastic treat!!!! I hope you are successful.

[@alextrubey]

Thank you!! And the ages are in the timestamps in the description, but I could have made them more obvious 😅 sorry about that! And I’m looking for something around a 1.45m horse (if it takes me to the U25 that would be a bonus), I have a 1.30-1.40m horse right now that I’ll still be riding so just looking for the next step up! Thanks for watching! ☺️

[@SarahQG-qr9cc]

Look at its pasterns tho! It's completely overbred and shouldn't be jumped at all. Horses like that usually don't stay healthy for long.

[@murielvanvliet8824]

Omg I literally fell in love with horse 5!!!!

[@debrabish1494]

Also the chestnut in Holland!!!! Really love d the music

[@gauguines7]

I love the last grey you tried, super careful, and the mare you retried looks like she s clever, can find a stride for anything!

[@debrabish1494]

I liked the last grey horse with black points-oh such a grand noble brave and beautiful horse!!!!!!

[@wc3624]

#5 and the last grey were lovely

[@marielledispa4833]

1,3,4,5,7 I liked best 😄 Think from the start you had the best connection with mare 5, it seems like a quick bright smart enthousiastic horse.

[@jomanna5934]

#5 Bay mare was the best of the lot for me, I also liked #7 Grey gelding.

[@ggdoggo1345]

definetly nuber 7 and bay mare is the perfect fit for you! Im exited to see which borse you choose

[@Ashley-fz9ku]

Bay Mare (#5) she is so gorg! I love the effort she puts into picking up her feet and her trot😍

[@MegaWealth100]

I liked the bay mare you tried twice, and also really liked the 8yo bay gelding who was jumping higher. Clever with his body

[@xisell0304]

I really like horse number 5, I thought she was just gorgeous and she had such a lovely jump along with her canter and trot. I really do hope you will be able to purchase her, and if you do, I'll be super happy! xx

[@duckscanjump.]

Oof I personally would not have liked how that second horse jumped, it looked super heavy although I could be wrong. On the flat he looked adorable though! ❤

[@sarahgilles6168]

you ride so nicely!!! Best of luck with fayola, i'm absolutely invested in your journey :)

[@alextrubey]

Thank you so much! I appreciate it!

[@Eq_georgie]

I saw another video someone was trying a horse in germany where u were

[@joeypotter6051]

I liked the chestnut but I'm not looking for a 1.40m jumper lol. The bay mare seems lovely, all my best horses have been bay mares!

[@sharletshilman5724]

Hi! do you mind telling me where you tried the horses in Germany( barn name)? I will study there this semester and I'm looking for a place to ride!

[@a.k.3074]

I thought the one you tried a second time in the end (i think horse 5) - when you forst rode it was the best fit.. lioked good and smooth together.🤗👍🏻 curious what you decided

[@michelleturner6865]

I thought the bay horse, the second on the video, was the most talented for high level show jumping. I thought he would pop you out of the saddle though. Great job riding. I think that’s the one you went to retry. Hope so. What a horse

[@motled]

This video brought me to your channel. And, I LOVED your intro on your channel page. What a darling girl and wonderful channel you have. I am subscribed and my 9 and 11 year old daughter and son (who started riding last summer) are big fans too. Hope you're having a great day as well. The bay mare was my fave as well. ❤from San Diego!

[@alextrubey]

Awww thank you so much! ☺️❤️

[@Kenny_luv_eq]

Wow.. #6 looks like such a smooth ride!

[@alextrubey]

He definitely was! Super scopey and gave me a lot of confidence to the big jumps!

[@natashakate5687]

Yea definitely my favorite horse

[@minap.7003]

I love #4 ! He is jumping so smooth and effortless

[@phoebe.ponies3869]

Omg the first bay was so careful going over the jumps XD

[@Ellayaaaaaa]

BAY MARE FOR SURE!❤❤

[@madidofficial]

#5 was such a nice mare!

[@natashakate5687]

All of them were splendid, can’t wait to see who you choose.

[@kiirak3056]

The #5 is the best of those! She suited for you well!

[@helgsy]

The pale bay that you jumped twice, or the white/grey (the last horse I believe)… when I saw the pale bay I thought right, this is the one - but I really loved that grey’s fast, alert manner. It reminded me of my own favourite horse, which reminded me that we all have different preferences and I may prefer a certain type or manner, but you may be shopping for raw potential… so when you do reveal the horse, it would be very interesting to know your thought process and what was most important to you, 😊👍

[@bernster123]

Great video thanks. I’d have loved some info on each horse (age, height, gender, breeding) as found it a bit hard to keep track but you rode them all beautifully!

[@Noodlemonkey7]

The grey in Germany seemed to have good balance and form btw! 😊😅

[@emilie9623]

Horse #5 and #6 was so stunning ❤

[@nextstarfarms5773]

Loved 4,5,and 6 all lovely types

[@josemackenzie7889]

The horse you went to re-try is the horse that fit you the best! But such amazing horses with great quality🤩

[@mamabearr_eqq]

the bay mare is 🤩

[@nataliaangelifreitas2032]

I'm in love with the second one oml

[@Maksamillion]

Literally they all look amazing!

[@annafiee8857]

The one you tried two times was the one I Think was best for you when you tried it the first time. Then and the last Grey one. 😊

[@MrEwelina85]

horse number 5 the bay mare is really nice shes nice in her canter and jump and number 7 is really nice scope and pase!

[@vp4871]

#5 is incredible and my fav after her #6. Congrats on whichever you picked!

[@lorena6490]

the bay mare was so beautiful and stunning!

[@horseconfused]

The Bay Mare is the most indescribably beautiful and perfect horse I’m creaming

[@jeena-marieburley9046]

Trying to find the video about what horse you bought is there one ?

[@marineur]

all the horses walk very calm while you riding ❤️ great

[@bluestarequestrian8612]

Still voting for the mare ☺️ the chestnut I feel like would make a very cute hunter 😅they all looked amazing though no idea how you stayed in that first bays jumó

[@alextrubey]

I agree, the chestnut is absolutely darling 😍 and I have no idea how I stayed with the first bay’s jump either, I swear I nearly fell off like 3 times 😂

[@orientalshorthairsquad]

The chestnut would be an amazing equitation horse

[@sahoyt9434]

Agree, the chestnut would be a great hunter. I loved him! I felt like even I could ride him over a course.

[@mskatefish]

Great video

[@alextrubey]

Thank you! ☺️

[@lydiaharvey8608]

I loved #2!!!

[@DtiIiii-l5t]

Idk, all of the jumps were pretty bad lol

[@Alexandra-rq1nl]

What is the name of the stables in Germany? I am also currently looking for a horse🙈.

[@santirog589]

I, we have 3 lovely horses, a 11yr KPWN,, 7 MARE ALSO KPWN and 6 yr. Mare. All of them really outstanding. Could you be interested in watching videos or having more details? Regads

[@miaforchelli1962]

my favorite horse what the one you tried twice and I think that is the one you picked to.

[@muharemmujkanovic6989]

I think horse #7 is a very pretty but also a very good jumper

[@anabade8274]

Super video !

[@alextrubey]

Thank you!

[@tammymcintosh6734]

I would have picked the brown just after you said that you went to farms to look at horses. He had the best leg actions.

[@teamosgoods2839]

loved this video, hope you find the best next horse xx

[@alextrubey]

thank you so much! ❤️

[@horses4everrrrr]

Loved 4 5 and 7! Who’d you get?

[@scoringbullet9741]

Bay mare is definitely my pick

[@angxl3431]

Hey alex! this is the first time i seen your channel and i love it, do you have any tips for having good posture when in 2 point?

[@alextrubey]

Hello and thank you! ☺️ as far as improving posture in 2 point goes, the best thing to do is practice! I will often warm up just walking or trotting a few times around the ring in 2 point. And for everyone it’s different but for me, I focus on stretching down through my legs and wrapping my lower leg around my horse’s body to have a strong base of support and then being strong and balanced but not stiff in my upper body! A good way to work on 2 point over fences is through grids/gymnastics! Focusing on being as centered and balanced as possible while still being effective in your riding has helped me a lot! Also when you’re first starting out working on your 2 point, don’t be afraid to grab a bit of mane for balance! Obviously the end goal is to be strong enough to balance on your own but when your learning and getting stronger, it can help! Hope this made sense and can help you a bit!

[@angxl3431]

@@alextrubey thank you so much! that made so much sense! I will definitely put your advice to use when i go to the barn tonight! :)

[@valclarkk]

#2 has scope lmao no my fav but funny and cute

[@vilmasuoknuuti4110]

Tbh i really liked the horse which you have in the thumbnail. Seems a bit green but I see potential in that one🤗 sweet face and a nice looking body after filling up a bit.

[@hannahchamberlain8844]

I loved the first 😊

[@katiebrough3977]

Wow! What a super bunch of horses! Can I please ask, what’s the name of the first song in the video? 😊

[@freyaheslop7902]

How did you find these horses? Did you find them on a specific website or just look around?

[@alextrubey]

In this case we found them through my trainer’s connections!

[@paytonwhitney]

#1 and #5

[@Kkkkkk122h]

What website do you go on to find these horses?

[@loufrance3957]

onestly id pick them alllll

[@Noodlemonkey7]

So lucky 🍀 🥲

[@chrisduc1]

I think basically it is difficult to find a good horse for beginner riders ….. most horses are trained by pro s

[@ritalovv]

you ride so well it's impressive! your seat and position as well as control are very amazing! I swear when I clicked on your profile I was at least expecting 100k followers 😳

[@alextrubey]

Awww thank you so much!!! ❤ I’m still pretty new to KZbin but hopefully one day I’ll get there!

[@rebecca5308]

I hope you get #5

[@거지TV]

승마에 관해 아는 것이 전혀 없고 더구나 말은 정말 모르지만 영상으로 느낀 것은 말과의 호흡이 #4 #5으로 보았습니다 어떤 말을 선택 하셨을지 궁금합니다

댓글 달아주셔서 감사합니다! 저는 4번과 5번을 정말 재미있게 탔어요! 제가 어떤 말을 선택했는지 곧 모두와 공유할게요! ☺️

Forget the horses. Look at those indoor arenas!!! Also look at the full stands for the horse shows. Things are so much better in Europe for horse sports.
