I arrived at your channel with no knowledge of horses - a love for them, but clueless. Now, after being inspired by you, your horses and your videos, I have been riding for over a year and love it so much. You have inspired me so much, Esme.

Esme please could I make a suggestion. I think you should reach out to Lemieux and create a set/collection of about three or four colours as a “This Esme” collaboration with them. Lemieux is such a lush brand and easily addicting! 😍 I think along with your collections with Charles Owen, PONY magazine, Hy-equestrian it would be honestly amazing! 😱 I love Lemieux and the colours they already have but I feel like you should add a Esme twist and collaborate with them! 🤫

I remember being obsessed with a book series called Midnight Dancer by Elizabeth Lindsay, which was a book based in Wales. I used to ride a bit when I was young, but my family moved when I was 6-7 and there were no stables in the area so sadly I was forced to give up riding, but those Midnight Dancer books actually helped by giving me a small outlet. I think what you're doing is amazing!

@OnceLia.428 Жыл бұрын

"to try and get more people into riding" Riding horses is like my favorite thing to do, but I don't have a horse. I live in Michigan, not a typical spot for equestrians but there's some. I particularly live in a spot where theres no trails close, not alot of space for stables, and some people like to scare horses on purpose. I know upsetting. So whenever I get to ride I can never be able to bond with the horse because I will most likely never see them again. I'm glad there are people that are able to own a horse and bond with them because I want to be one of them. And I most likely never will be.

I’m super excited to order it! I’m super proud of you, and you should be proud of yourself! Your definitely my most favorite youtuber, and the fact that I love reading and horses made me feel so amazing when I watched this, I want to become a author too! I need ideas for stories I’d stay committed to writing instead of making so many different books all at once and maybe never even finishing them. If anybody here wants to give me some name ideas for characters and maybe storylines I’ll read them and respond! I may combine some of my own ideas to make an awesome first book of mine. Thank you!

@jocotterillbook Жыл бұрын

Hi MapleLeaf, I'm the writer working with Esme and I LOVE that you want to be an author! I'll let you into a secret: I find finishing a story really hard too! I have loads of half-written books and stories...eek! But the best advice I can give you is to keep writing: lots and lots and lots of it, because writing is like horse riding - the more you practise, the better you're going to get :) Here's an idea you could try: the main character's name is Amy and she's the second eldest of four children. They've all been riding since they were little, but while her brothers and sister have got better and better, Amy feels like she's getting worse and worse. And now she's been moved DOWN a class at her stables because her instructor says she's not confident enough to try cantering. I'd love to see how you develop Amy's story!

@loco_lucy Жыл бұрын

@@jocotterillbook Hi! I’ll definitely try out that story, thank you! It’s super awesome to talk with you! I’ll also use that advice, and it’s kind of interesting how somebody (including myself) can think most authors or just writers always have one story and continue it until the finish, but then you learn otherwise and it’s so amazing because it could relate to themselves. (myself too) Again, thank you for the advice and the idea, I’ll start it right now and continue it throughout the day! Have a amazing day, i’ll check back later!

As someone from the US of A, I sadly can't buy any of your merch or books. One year I had an entire list of things I wanted from your store for Christmas and then we found out that you didn't ship to my place. I'm still really sad. But on a different note, I'm dyslexic too! I've struggled really hard with dyslexia and it's been really prohibiting this year so to hear you're dyslexic really helps and to make a character that is dyslexic really helps too so thank you so much!
