Billy reverted back to napping today... our first ride from the yard in a long long time, glad to say I persevered and got him going... eventually!! #nappinghorse #horsesbeingsilly #rearinghorse #standardbredhorse
The MOST entertaining ride today with @mister.teif I'll make a proper edit tomorrow, but enjoy this one for now...especially the end 😂😂 #walesonhorseback #offroading #standardbred #horsefriends #horsefail #horsefall #comedy
I forgot how bad his napping used to be! This was probably his worst attempt, it's slightly painful to watch back having to yell at him but his behavior was dangerous and I used no other aids, just voice and leg. So proud we got beyond all this silliness, my lovely boy ❤️🥰 #rearinghorse #horsesbeingsilly #nappinghorse #naughtyhorse
Riding on a road within a 20mph limit. You'd think two great big horses at the side of the road would make you slow down to the speed limit? obviously not! This is the reason I ALWAYS box out to ride and don't ride from home, the only reason I'm doing so now is because I'm without a car. People need to read the highway code and actually learn to drive the speed limits... but what do I know, I'm just a road safety officer 🤣 @Hayley #traffic #horseriding #highwaycode #baddriving #walesonhorseback
'I should have got you to sign a disclaimer so your dad doesn't murder me' @mister.teif 🤣 I know you're jealous of where we get to ride, we are truly blessed 🤩 #walesonhorseback #disclaimer #cows #horsefriends #offroading
Seeing Billy's nap from the ground.. I'm glad I didn't give in and get off! He was not doing this from fear, it's pure stubbornness! #horsesbeingsilly #nappinghorse #horsesbeingsilly #horsegirls #geton
Scary exotic birds = get off before it becomes an issue 🤣 Worth watching me remount in style at the end wearing Billy's quarter sheet... and if you're wondering why they are so dirty wait till you see the next clip I post 😅 @Hayley #exoticbirds #spookyhorse #horsesbeingsilly #walesonhorseback
So I thought I'd post the whole video, so that you can see I was preparing for a nap, as Billy always naps on the lane. I don't post my videos to be told how to ride or be given advice, so if you don't like how I ride please don't feel the need to comment. For those of you asking about how I deal with a horse known for napping, this video might help you. If you're too nervous to stay on board my recommendation is to start long reining your horse to build it's confidence as a leader from the ground, last year I did a lot of long reining with Billy. #nappinghorse #tiktoktrainer #walesonhorseback #standardbred #nappyhorse
