If you don’t want to watch the grooming / tacking up, the actual riding starts at about 4:00 .
This was my first proper jump on Maverick in I don’t even know how long! I’d forgotten just how much fun he is and how much he enjoys it! We kept the jumps small, and to be honest I’m not planning on making them any bigger over the next few weeks, because we both seem to enjoy this height and the whole point of loaning this pony is to have a bit of fun, not push ourselves to the limit every ride! Keeping them smaller also meant I could work on Maverick’s (and my) approach to the fences, as he likes to get a bit long and rush into them, but after a few dodgy strides I realised I could actually sit him back onto his hocks in the canter more than I thought, and we ended up having a few really nice jumps where the fence came to us, rather than us panicking at the last second and clambering over it.
I hope you enjoy the grooming & tacking up part - I know some of you have been asking for this kind of thing for years!! The GoPro battery just about lasted long enough to capture the getting ready, lesson and post-lesson bits & bobs!

⬇️ FAQs ⬇️
🔵 DO YOU OWN THE HORSES & PONIES IN YOUR VIDEOS?
No, all the horses & ponies belong to a lovely riding school, or are working liveries at the same yard.
🔵 WILL YOU EVER GET YOUR OWN HORSE?
I would love to own a pony one day, but for now I am more than happy having weekly lessons on the fantastic riding school horses & ponies.
🔵 WHY DO YOU ALWAYS JUMP THE SAME HEIGHT?
These riding school ponies usually jump more than once a week, and sometimes more than once a day, so we don’t jump ‘big’ except on special occasions to ensure the ponies stay sound and live long, happy lives. Fence height has very little to do with jumping technique or experience.
🔵 HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN RIDING FOR?
I’ve been having weekly lessons in riding schools for 16 years now!
🔵 IF YOU’VE BEEN RIDING FOR SO LONG, WHY DON’T YOU COMPETE?
I have no personal interest in competing or jumping huge tracks. I ride for fun, simple as that!
🔵 WHY ARE THE HORSES ALREADY TACKED UP WHEN YOU APPROACH THEM?
This is a busy riding school & livery yard and so the lesson horses are tacked up by the staff who work there to ensure they are ready to leave the yard on time and have been tacked up correctly.
🔵 DO THE HORSES STAY TACKED UP 24/7?
No. The horses are only tacked up right before their lessons and spend the rest of their time turned out in grass fields.
🔵 WHO IS ROBIN FROM YOUR VIDEOS?
Robin is my mum and she rides with me in my lesson every week. She's 64 and fearless as ever!
