Equestrian Influencers #28 Winter is sh..... pass it on

Can someone catch me up on why Shelley from Everyday Eventers is looking for a livery yard for one horse? I know she sadly lost Molly recently and the mare Blaze and her foal belonged to her friend Tara. But what about Cherry? Does Shelley not have her anymore and why did Shelley and Tara decide to leave the sole use yard?

Cherry passed away fairly recently too, she was a ripe old age tho.
The friend is Tanya, she seems to still be at the same yard. Not sure why Shelley left, I don't think she's mentioned it but presume relates to whatever she had going on in her personal life

This is very interesting. His owners were never updated in British Eventing. So the £40,000 that were raised didn't buy the horse for her?
So where did the £27,141 raised through JustGiving actually go?

She did continue to ride him for two and a half more years after the fundraiser, with more refusals xc and eliminations towards the end, then Sam Ecoyd rode him once and fell cross country.

Then Josh Levett took over the ride and took him back to BE100, which went well - but back at Novice the cracks were showing again and he's not been seen (at BE) since.

Wasn’t it this horse Sam had that nasty fall off where he really hurt himself? Fractured his skull and I think had a bleed on the brain was off for a while

Oh bless her. She's had so much horsey loss over the past couple of years. I really hope Pea works out well for her 🤞🏼
 
What score did Tina get on Enzo at dressage today?
Edit...found it. 65.9 in the intro. Was also entered in the prelim but didn't compete it.
 
Tina really pitches forward on Enzo, I can’t believe work out if it’s nerves or if it’s the saddle on him? Or is it just her stirrups are too short? I love him though, he is a gorgeous boy who seems so sweet and it’s nice to see Tina getting on so well with him.
 
I can't help but think he looks quite poor on her stories today? Those hip bones are really sticking out quite prominently

Tinas Enzo i mean

We are so used to seeing such obese animals than one one is the right weight everyone thinks they are skinny.
He looks idea to me.

That!⬆
For an eventer he may even carry a bit more condition than he would when fighting fit.

Just watched Alanna's vlog about Dave's first show! He will be extra special in time!
 
Don’t follow Tina (sorry, can’t stand the screeching and the waffle) but went to look and he looks in lovely condition, whatever was seen must have been at a bad angle. Her dogs could stand to shed a few pounds though! Her riding in the dressage did look odd, she certainly seemed to be perched and/or tipping forward, but I think her stirrups were way too short, she was rising so far out of the saddle and her lower leg was quite far forward for dressage.

I’m surprised at her now knowing why horses roll one after another in the same spot, it’s like a dog peeing where another dog has been, scent marking.

He’s a sweet boy, very quirky though and will take some time to mature. Evie’s Red is coming on so well too, he’s cantering now and his trot is so light and springy, I can see what she saw in him.

Agreed, he looks very special. I’m glad she’s taking it slowly with him, I think her patience will pay off in time, he definitely appears to have been challenging and he looks a lot bigger than her other ones.

Nice to see a few of them with good youngsters
 
I realise this is going to sound SO miserable but the screeching and waffle puts me off Tina but also the inane smile she always seems to have on her face. I REALLY want to follow her journey with Enzo, but I can't bear every time I see a story or a still from you tube it's vacant eyes and an inane smile. God I sound awful I'm aware!

Agreed, and Alanna always has some interesting content and is very realistic. Wildly different to what RWC has just put out.
