Hey Holly. Do you think you could do a video on teaching lead changes? I've always seen your horses do them flawlessly but I've never actually seen how you teach them. Just an idea

[eviewie]

I love how genuine and down to earth your vlogs and your riding are. No flashy outfits, shoplogs etcetera. But just riding, transforming your wolly mammoths to competitive showjumpers once more. Keep being you!

I missed these boys! Such angels! Definitely excited to see Khal back in action, but also am very much looking forward to see Dali grow

[trulyanimalistic]

Dali has such a beautiful foundation, he will come back quick but because he is younger will take a bit more time than Khal. So exciting for you this Summer with your wonderful pair. The big horses definitely take the extra time, they look slower but not at all, he so easily covers the ground! 🤣😍 always in good hands with yourself!

Omg i love your dad so much he is such a character :) the way he was like whispering behind the camera counting the strides was hilarious😂😂😂 make sure to keep him in vids

Love watching your training vlogs Holly. Its interesting to note how much muscle the boys lost over the winter, and how quickly they will look like athletes again. Looking forward to seeing how Dali gets on this year.

You and your Da have done such a brilliant job with the elegant Khal and the mighty Dali :) I think your future super stars are watching closely over the fence -- the foals are in the field adjacent to your arena, right? I was wondering do you and your Dad ever go out together hacking? IF yes, that would be a fun vlog idea -- not that you're short of ideas. So good to see are your Irish homebreds again Holly.

The thumbnail said Dali's back but I was like, *inhales* 😍😍😍

[JenniferJCouch]

Great to see you back in Ireland and riding your two big boys. I, like Lauren, would like a lesson on lead changes. Good to hear your Dad's voice in the background. Stay safe. 💙🐎😎

I know Dali has always been tall but he looks enormous here! Gorgeous boys!

[amandaagrela]

You literally have summer all year around 😂 I’m so jealous x

[accordingher]

I just love how much you prioritise their comfort when you said he might be going well but could he feel even better in another bridle <3

[alialhilali]

More of these sessions please. Amazing vlog

[andystpierre]

I know you really like Rocky, but you must be so happy to ride an easier horse! Khal was just perfect as always, this horse is amazing!! And I know Dali is getting older, but is it just me or did he grow a little since last summer? I love him so much, I don’t know what it is about Dali, but I find him to be a very special horse 🥰🥰🥰

[janl]

Gorgeous boys, Dali is huge, you look tiny on him 🥰

[biggothepiggo]

You sure like your fancy, gorgeous, clever bay geldings! I love that you now have them across 2 continents! If you are ever searching for vlog topics, I'm still super interested in a compare and contrast on training warmbloods vs TBs. This vlog was great.

[TheBulle]

Dali is huge! Looks like he’s grown some more. 😀

[ctadventures]

Good to see you back. And to see all the horses at home.

[DS-kydl]

Bet you are thrilled to be home...we are glad, that's for sure!! Welcome!

[jeniferrinehart]

Your boys are just gorgeous. Wish I had your lower leg! How do you not move that one inch?!?!? I’m very jealous! ❤️❤️❤️
