"He's my heart horse"...actually made me tear up a bit!!

I feel so fortunate to have watched this journey. His success is proof that he had a very talented trainer! The fact that you didn't push him too hard but let him grow into jumping says so much about your training ability. Congratulations, Holly. Merry Christmas to you and your family🎄🎀❤

There's a 6 month old home bred foal at my work, her mum is a 4* eventer and i expect she'll follow the same path! So excited to watch her transformation like Khal's

You have trained him so well. Maybe he wasn't so carefull when he was younger because he was just worried about the surroundings. And with time he is building muscles. Bravo for your résultats 👏👏

I definitley agree that some young horses need time to show their talent, my Mare only really started to look and jump well at the end of last year (when she was 6) and during this year! It's soooo worth giving them time to mature 😊

How does Khal act now with Fiona as she is his real mother? This video is so cute love u and all ur horses

By the looks of it, you have such a soft rein and hand on his mouth. I admire that.

He grew fast and was unconfident in his big body. Then you giving him those breaks just to be a horse he found his body and got comfortable and became a confident horse :) youve done amazing with hin

It honestly amazes me that just over the span of a couple years a horse can change practice really does. I am so happy I got to experience watching this horses journey and I hope he gets even better

Hes so adorable when he was a Foal!! And hes So Handsome now!!🤗🤗🐎❤🥳

Cant wait to see how dali comes on, seeing as Khal is so amazing

He’s such a beautiful, confident, well adjusted boy !! You have done such an incredible job with him and he clearly loves and trusts you very much ! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰

Loved seeing the progress. He's beautiful and you did a great job taking time to let him mature.

when I was in ridingschool there was this horse named Lukas, he mainly walked on the beginner lessons because he wasn so calm. But I loved riding him so I often picked him for both dressage and jumping. Sure, I had to work a lot harder since he was dulled from the beginner lessons but once you got him to wake up it was awesom, he gave 210% once he realiced he got to work properly. Now, the best things was when we got to 50cm+ jumps, he loved that :D Certain horses just seems to like the challanges :D

Just shows how brilliant your care of him has brought him on x

Really interesting to see him grow and strengthen - especially that huge change between 4 and 5 years, he's a credit to your hard work, and you did everything at a lovely pace. I love youngsters!

Love how calm and kind you are to him, even when he spooks. He looks so happy and confident with you as a rider

Thank you for this vlog Holly, no wonder your face light's up when you talk about Khal, what a stunning foal then he turned into a horse that is beautiful to look at and has the nature to match, I just adore watching things about him thanks again. 💖

He is such a sweetheart

It's so lovely that you've had him all along and brought him up!

What a transformation! The hard work you put in has most definitely paid off!! You can really see in all your videos how much he loves you and your dad. He just seems to light up when he's around you guys and that's beautiful to see x

Thank you for the Khal retrospective, Holly! He was such an adorable foal and so bratty/buggy with Jack. Wow, this fall, Khal just blossomed.

Thank you for sharing this video and letting us watch them grow up with you. It’s amazing to see his transformation. Incredibly beautiful.

Amazing job Holly! He’s come so far, you are absolutely allowed to be super proud of him and you!! ❤️🐴🥇

You honestly should be so proud of yourself! He's turned into a really fantastic horse. I love how he wasn't impressive in the beginning, even though he had an amazing mind. I feel like people get so caught up in how they free jump and over jump when they are young that they forget that a good horse is still in there and just needs time to develop. He honestly looks like a completely different horse in that last 1.20 round. Not many people can say they've bred, broke, and ridden their own horse up the heights. Can't wait to see where you guys go after this!!

Once he found his confidence he came on leaps and bounds !!! Well done Holly 👍🏼👍🏼

Really enjoyed that! Khal's an absolute beaut, You brought him on so well 👏👏👌

Really lovely to see his journey so far 💙 what an amazing boy and all credit due to you Holly 💕

Lovely story and wonderful video! I'm so pleased to have found an equestrian on YT who knows what she's doing! Great to watch how you handled his upbringing and really put a sincere effort into training him- it definitely paid off. You're a good team.

Thank you for being proud of Khal and loving him so much! He does his best for you. I hope the two of you have a very successful, healthy, happy and long time together.

He’s is such a credit to you! He’s honestly amazing 😍😍😍

Cool video & nice to see that you were so patient with him! Nice job, he looks great!

This was so wholesome 😭❤️

Love, patience and work.....well done, this is a happy horse !

Thank you for a wonderful video! I enjoyed every minute of it! You have done a fantastic job, with this young "man". He is a very special horse with a solid steady personality. Really looking forward to following you both, in your endeavours! You are a excellent horsewoman! Thank you, again!!

This is so cute! You trained him and he came out to be incredible.

Just amazing! So cool to watch his journey. I hope I can train horses one day. Happy Holidays!

Awww Khal is so grown up!! Love seeing the transformation. You've done an amazing job with him, Holly!

Such a lovely video, all the hard work is paying off, you’re a dream team ❤️❤️❤️

Very inspiring. I think that time is often a key for many horses....Fantastic!

Well done! Beautiful boy he is! Glad to see an Irish person you don’t normally see us posting! Loving your Channel

Really enjoyed these clips Holly I’m new to your vlog, you are such a beautiful rider lovely hands and seat your so very calm with all your horses and your Dad’s so funny and loving thanks for sharing and the best of luck with the shows.😎❤️😎

So nice! Lovely little film! You really do him justice.

He's beautiful! I wonder if he found it easier to jump the higher fences as he's not having to look down at them so much?

Well done, slow and steady is the best way to start any horse that you intend on having forever!

This video is a pleasure, and the experience of your beautiful heart horse is such a pleasure to witness. He is very lucky to have such kind & generous human support.

Wonderful to see the progress you've made. What a beautiful horse.

you are an admirable horsewoman and you brought him along so very well. you are inspiring!

It's no wonder why your baby's are so amazing, your style of riding and training is unparalleled 😀💞 Love love love your vids, every single one! 🤩

What a fantastic little video! It really feels like he grew into his being as from this September forward: he looks confident, knows how to use his body and place his legs. It's lovely! You really did a fantastic job in bringing him up and training him. Very well done, Holly! I'm so excited to see where the future will bring you and Khal!

I loved this video!!!! Stellar job with your boy!

This video made me feel all kinds of good ^.^ Great watch!

Really heart touching video to see the bond between you and ur horse.

I cried watching that . I've followed you and cal from the start !! Well done both of you , gives me lots of hope for my young pony who has tried to kill me many times but they can change and mature so quickly xxxxxxxxxxx

The 16 dislikes are the people who are jealous because they can't have Khal.

Loving all theses saddle pads

wow he looks like an absolute dream to ride, youve done an amazing job with him

He runs so fast ! Omg he is so cute and amazing :)

Wonderful, I swear homebreds are the best. they grow up knowing you and eventually once you back and ride them they honestly don't care, just taking it in their stride it's just one of those weird things we do haha, well done! x

So much spirit...I love him. So intelligent and full of life.....what a lovely video....thanks for sharing🌹

Holly you have done such an amazing job with him! He is such a beautiful guy!

So Wonderful. Happy for both of you. A joy to watch

No dislikes, just how it should be!

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO FOREVERRRR

You two are amazing 💖. Khal is going to go so so far !

Aww he’s such a cool dude you did so well with him 🤩🤪

Love this, well done. He’s beautiful 😍

Beautiful horse beautiful rider! Congratulations!

How adorable Holly!! Well done both of you!! Xo

I LOVE HIM! Young horses are so rewarding! I actually prefer it when they don't flash as much. You can see after his first longer break (think it was when he came in, in june this year) he had matured so much. He has come so far are you should be so proud. Taking it all so slowly will pay off in the future xx

Well done, it's a lot of work and practice.. I admire your dedication.

Lovely! 💕 He's gorgeous! 💕

🎄🎄 MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄🎄 to you and your family Holly, I hope that you all enjoy this festive season.

I haven't been able to watch any of your videos for ages as I've just not had time, but it's so lovely to see him looking so strong and mature both mentally and physically in the final clips of this. One thing that's obvious about him from the video is that he's always been a horse with an incredible rhythm and balance on the flat and over fences, which can be a difficult thing to find in young horses. I've often found that the more balanced a baby is, the less it over-jumps under saddle, as they find it easier to absorb the fence into the natural rhythm of their canter stride and are thus more confident and relaxed about the entire affair. Unbalanced babies either wobble over everything or put in a massive ping to clear it. Not true in all cases of course, but certainly a decent number. Plus he'll probably last and stay sound for longer as he's not expending unnecessary energy or putting undue strain on his body. All in all he looks utterly incredible right now and he's a real credit to the work that you've done with him. Definitely an exciting future ahead!

He is the sweetest boy, I love him so much ❤️

Love this video!

You did so well❣️❣️

What an amazing journey!!

What a lovely video xx

I loved your horses & your voice too 😍

Time flies. Great transformation! :)

You're so brilliant with young horses!!

That's one beautiful horse loved clip and just subbed

I love that you waited until he was three to back him. Way too many people rush that and ride them way too young, and too hard. Great partnership with a beautiful boy!

I love him so much. I hope my first born is going to be as fun and well behave as yours ;) (I’m not going to say talented cause you’re a way better rider than I’ll ever be, so my poor baby doesn’t have a chance!!!). Thanks for sharing his journey with us. And I can’t wait to see his little big brother!

lovely journey❤️lucky girl u are!!!

He’s such a beautiful horse x

He's a star and a credit to you good luck for 2020

Aww that melts my heart

lovely transformation👌😱❤

My horse is nearly six and he still cant jump like your horse could when he was four. When we bought my horse we also thought he was going to make a fantastic jumper, but no i'm stuck with a stubborn horse who panics when i don't tell him what to do. Yet i love him and would give the world for this bloody pony

Amazing! ❤

Love! Good job👍

This is beatiful

he is a champion !!!

this is such a cute video :)

You:puts heels up for split second Trainers watching videos: PEUT YTOYR HESSLS DOWNS!!!!

He is beautiful and I actually made me Tear up

When I went to Indiana to visit my sister and her baby who is almost 2 now and when I went to my grandma's house she had a barn near her house and I rode a pony named Sparky he was so sweet toward me and was so smooth and I will be taking riding lessons after covid 19 maybe I am so excited ☺☺

OMG baby Khal 😍 🤩
