EVENTING VLOG | Potentially our Final BE90

Hi Tina, Soph from Equi-N-ice 👋 Thank you for including us in your vlog again this week! I’m so glad they arrived in time for the weekend! Lovely to see you using our bandages on Banksy. Fabulous day evening for you. Banksy definitely enjoyed coming out of the start box for sure!! Soph x ❄️

Thanks for the tip on the camera. Have been looking for one for ages and overwhelmed with choice. So I’ve just ordered the one you’re going to put up at your stables for back of house. And the discount came in very handy!! Plus they ship to Ireland from Germany so no pesky import costs to Ireland!! 👍👍👍

Your vlogs are so joyful, Tina. Thanks so much for sharing. I smiled all the way through this. Having been very unwell this last year, I am not always able to watch or, at times, comment. It's great to see you having fun. Banksy looks fantastic & you rode so well. I look forward to your next event. Thank you for the sunshine you bring into the lives of your followers🤗❤ Your friends are also really lovely - Suze, you are a star🎉

Hello Tina, I am watching the video of your handbag opening. If you think that is a lot you should pick up mine. The thing weighs so much that I jokingly call it my Port Manteau . Believe me your lovely bag has not much in it compared with mine. I loved how well both you and Meg did at Badders. Next year the pair of you will stand side by side in front of the house. Your fan Jane xx 😀🧑🏻‍🦰❤️👍🐴

Great fun watching you and Banksy Tina your so confident now it’s great to see you so happy. Suzie is a great friend helping you she’s so sweet just like you. Tfs🤗🏇🤗

Dinks is supremely adorable! How about taking just him for a little walkie? He has a very important job as number one companion & loves the attention. Thanks for sharing.

Take care and all the best. And a big thank you to Suzy ,for all her help. 😊😊👍👍💟💖

Love that you’re able to spy on little man easier… precious cargo you’ve got to monitor when no one around 😊 what a lovely day out at another 😮 new venue. Nice you were able to split up your drive time and Banksy seemed to enjoy his very large accommodations. Dressage had nice work in it. XC was fun and looked effortless. SJ was challenging I believe due to warmup conditions. Busy area short approaches and minimal space for gear changes. With all the busyness of warm up and deeper sand footing he just sucked back a little in cautious strides. He opened up once you changed gears after pole. Well ridden ma’am. Remember even when “competing” we are still training. 🧡

You and Banksy are so fun to watch!! Hés a mega boy!

Wow I love your energy. So much light 🌻💜

Love it Tina! I also love that you can look back and analyze the things you did well and the things you can work on. I do think the 100s will be better for Banks. He can surely do it and the size and speed needed is closer to what Banks wants to do anyway. Let him move on and he will do wonderfully. It doesn’t mean he can go out Willy nilly. But constantly trying to make him slower just isn’t beneficial for him or you. It will help his rhythm and you will feel more confident too. Well done on a great vlog and can’t wait to see the 100!

Train like you're showing, and show like you're training!! Something to keep in mind, Tina. You need to remember when Banks is feeling tense, going into show jump, maybe try to keep the same canter rhythm. I think that fence 4 you knocked down was because you had list the canter rhythm, and Banks rushed it, because of his exuberance and he got to deep, and you had list that canter. Because, after that, you kept the same canter all the way through, and Banks didn't touch another fence. He didn't even come close to even rubbing one!! Something to consider. Just my own thoughts and opinions on your show jump round, Tina. Because, cross country, once you realized you were holding him back, you let him travel on. Which was the right thing to do. And you even said, in the lorry going home, that you shouldn't hold him back until after fence 3. Had you not realized it, you would have finished on a higher score than you did. And I'm chuffed that you're going to do a 100 course!! That will slow Banksey down. It will also give him a bit more of a challenge for his brain and calm him down some. I'm also chuffed that you've already got lessons booked in before the next event. That will be good for you both. Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦

Love watching you and Banksy, you’re always so upbeat and to see both of you enjoying life is great. I too have a skewbald gelding who is 18, but apart from the odd fun ride we stick mostly to hacking, so I get my thrills watching you two 😂

Great event and video. Banksy knows his job so well, and he can teach those younger horses a thing or two! I felt he wasn't quite 'flowing' during XC, but it still was a great round. I think I need a cooling bandage for after my spin class....😂

Can't wait to watch this!

Just about to watch tina so exciteddd love your videos ❤

Hi Tina, I agree with you that Banksy looked a bit tense in his back. Not so fluent in SJ warm up. I think you felt a bit lost with no trainer because you had a lot of support and intensive training prior to and during Badminton. Remember what you have learned. Have a new goal to aim for eg. Qualify for Badminton again. I love that you are so upbeat and that you and Banksy continue to have fun. Good luck 🤞

I only carry my "Mom Bag" when I am going out with my husband and or my boys and husband. I have various sizes of "Mom Bags" depending on the occasion. Thankfully, I am down to 1 son at home, but I do usually end up carrying wallets, phones and or headphones, earbuds and the occasional portable power banks. 🙄 Otherwise, I carry a wristlet wallet, or a nice small barrel bag, or crossbody.

Hey tina great vlog u and banksy smashed it well done loverly ❤x

I don’t know what BE rules are but in the US I circle before the last fence when I’m up on time. I make sure to say, ‘not presenting, circling’ to the fence judge. USEA rule is that you can’t slow down between the last fence and the finish flags.
