I wish every trainer was that dedicated to their students. I’m in my mid teens and have been riding for around 7 years and I still haven’t been properly taught some of the things she was taught by the age of 10!

It’s called the horse gene. Some of us have it others don’t. It surpasses all logic and comfort. People that don’t have it don’t understand it.

My daughter was just given a horse by her instructor, and she's investing the time into her just like your story. 😭❤️ She's 11, and she's teaching her how to do groundwork with them, including her with training, all the things. It's been wonderful. These instructors are rare for sure. So thankful.

I’m so stoked for you & Tucker!!! I’ve been following your channel for several years & I love that you just seem so easy going/down to earth. Your authenticity shines through in your videos & I can’t think of anyone more deserving than you🐴😊👏🏼🎉🙌🏼💛

Is it just me or is she so beautiful!!

Congrats on 100k!!! Your story reminds me of my daughter!! She has been around horses since she was born and she is now 11 and has been “training” a horse that was born on our farm 7 months after she was born. So they have grown up together and she has always begged to ride her but we never had her trained she was just a big pet to us. So we finally bought her a horse she could ride 5 months ago and she has been working with both of them ever since. She says she wants to be a horse trainer when she grows up. She loves coming on here to watch your videos. It has been very helpful for her! Thank you for sharing your tips and tricks with us all!!

You are so incredibly blessed. I too, was born horse obsessed. You got the life and horse background I wanted my entire life. I didn't get a horse until I was 50 years old. Yes, if you wait long enough, you can make a dream come true. Sookie lives here with me on my little piece of land. I still have to work full time, and am head of household; so I don't have all of the time I wish I did to work her. Still, in the 3 years I've had her, we have learned so much about eachother. We have a wonderful bond and she feeds my soul so much pure joy! I feel blessed to be with her each and every day and it is a privilege to be able to care for her. My number one criteria in buying a horse (within budget) was to find one that would tolerate me buttering her with affection. (She does.) Thank you for posting so much information (and not talking down to us newbies) on basics! You have the gift of bringing me in at point "A" (not point "G, K, or P") and meeting me where I am in my horse journey. You give me courage and your sense of humor literally brings happy tears to my eyes. God put YOU here for a reason, and you are fulfilling His purpose. Thanks so much and keep up the great work! Ps, please give Tucker a big kiss from me... 😚🐎

Omg that’s crazy u started too ride because of hartland and so did I it has been 4 YEARS and still watching it

It's so cool to see how you've come to the point you are now. I almost teared up because I was a horse girl but stopped riding due to my first fall ages ago. Now I'm an adult and I only get to ride a few times a year. It's great to be back but sometimes I kind of grieve the time I could have spent riding as a teen with friends and all the lessons I didn't get to learn. I'm so glad you've created this platform. It helps so much with learning and feeling less alone since I don't have any friends who like horses. It's kind of healing to see you live out little me's dreams. Congrats to your 100,000 followers!

That moment where you said “Suddenly the horse fire was re ignited in me.” Totally know that feeling. ❤

Thank you for sharing, beautiful story

I just want to let you know how much your channel has helped with my introduction to horses, Im 18 and all my life have longed to be around horses and i finally got the chance a month ago by volunteering at a therapeutic horse farm. You have really contributed so much to my knowledge of horses and everything about them. Thank you!

I love that you bragged about falling off a horse for the first time!! I recently started riding english after riding western my whole life, only because I felt like it would be useful to know both and your videos are so helpful!

It's so wonderful to hear someone else's "horsey" beginnings! I've been obsessed with horses since I was about five or six years old when my grandparents bought me this cheap plastic horse toy. My entire childhood was spent watching horse movies, horse TV shows, reading horse books, reading horse magazines, collecting horse toys, drawing horses, playing horse video games, etc. My grandmother told my mom that it was a phase, that I would grow out of it. Well, it's 26 years later and I'm 100% sure it's not a phase. lol I've been led around on horses before, but last year I started volunteering at a stable that does trail rides and and as a reward, and when they had space, they allowed me to go on trail rides for free. That was my first experience of "riding solo". After that I was hooked on riding and couldn't get enough of it. My dream is to work with horses and to further my knowledge of care, riding, and training. I'm currently searching for someone who's willing to teach me. P.S. Your videos are a Godsend and they've taught me so much! Also, we're next-door neighbors! I'm in WV! :D

I was born loving horses too. I’ve wanted my own horse since I was 5. I took lessons as a kid in exchange for stable hand work. I learned how to care for horses and some about basics of training. My horse dream is here after 42 years. We adopted two mustangs from the BLM and my horse arrives April 1 (soonest date for appointment to pickup available) and my husband’s horse will be going to a friend who is a TIP trainer to gentle her. I’m not experienced enough to want to attempt two gentle two at once. I’m looking forward to this journey with my mare. Your videos have helped me get back in touch with training methods and care. Thank you so much and I love the journey you e had so far.

I really want horse riding but in my area if a girl want this type of thing she's looking like a fool, but still I hope one day I'll get a horse and ride it like you do.. Have a good day dear may God give a long healthy life to your horse. Amen💖

Thanks so much for sharing your story. I love hearing peoples journey with horses! Please let go of any regret you have about the time you missed with Bella. Even more importantly than the fact that the past can’t be changed, is the fact that all of those past decisions put you on the path to where you are today. And that seems like a really good place. Had you continued with Bella, perhaps you would not have Tucker, or this channel, where you have touched the lives of 100,000(!) people (and I’m sure many more to come). That’s like a football stadium full of people! You did good with Bella, and you are doing good in the world.

What an enjoyable story! Hats off to all those wonderful people who selflessly taught you!

What does it mean when a horse is "forward"? What a WONDERFUL story about your love and dedication to God's beautiful creatures called HORSES!!! GOD BLESS YOU and keep on loving and saving horses.

Congratulations on 101k subscribers! Having our own KZfaq channel, I know what an incredibly huge accomplishment that is. So proud of you! Thanks for being such a positive role model. I LOVED learning about your horse journey. Our girls are just a few years into their horse journey and were also inspired by Heartland. 💗 Thanks for putting out great content!

Well deserved congratulations, and... be still my heart. I like you. You give such a positive vibe; thank you for that feeling. It is my honor to be here, and to get to share in your content.

I love your story because it sounds so much like mine. I started riding when I was 4, so I've been riding for 7 years now. Often you see people who grow up around horses and get horses when they've been riding for like 3 years, but I'm so lucky that I'm finally looking for a horse.

Heartland is literally the best show in the world ❤️✨🌹

Congrats 🎉🎊!!! And first

"I fell off for the first time, and bragged to my family that i fell for the first time"..... Totally relate to that! 😂

Doggo break!

Your instructor recognized your spark, what an amazing woman to take you so far with Beau. Then good luck again with Pepper and the amazing trainers. You deserve Bella. "Anxious to do good Tucker" :-)

I love those trusty Mom calls ❤

Wow 17 years! You were an amazing equestrian at the start and still are and will always be so keep doing what your doing because you are teaching and entertaining soooo many people congratulations on 100k 😊🎉🥳

Great story. There are pieces that apply to most of us. At what point did you discover, there's HAY IN MY POCKETS!? Really appreciate your journey

YAY CONGRATULATIONS🐴🎊🎉

Thank you for sharing your story! I have a 7 year old daughter myself who has just started her horse journey with a 16 year old QH gelding. Your channel has already been a huge help and I am also taking advantage of your groundwork course since we have so much to learn. May God bless you and your family!

It makes me feel inspired listening to someone else's story, and everyone has ups and downs and this definetly shows that. God bless you and your horses!!!

Aww thanks for sharing your story with us Carmella! I love hearing peoples journeys. I’m at the beginning of my horse journey, at 36, and I’m so grateful for your channel. You’re a great teacher, I’m learning lots. Thanks for paying it forward. So cool to hear you are also a Christian ❤

2nd lol can’t wait ! Congrats

Thank you for sharing your story. I watch as many of your videos as possible. I am a subscriber but I don't see a lot of new ones. How often do you make one, they are excellent. 👍

I love your new haircut so much so I went out this weekend and got one just like it

I just wanted to tell you, I love your life story and tucker is such an awesome horse. I also wanted to say I love all your videos. They have helped me gain more knowledge of horses and how to be around them with confidence. Thank you and God bless you! Oh and Congrats on all the subscribers. 🎉

I didn’t get a notification for the video until today! I know I’m 3 days late but congrats on the subscribers! And you are honestly living my dream! Love your vids! ❤️🐴

This is so cool! I want to make a riding story about me sometime but I recently broke my collarbone so I can’t ride for a few months so It makes me happy to watch your vids and still being able to learn from your advice and help on the channel🤗💕

Oh gosh Haflingers are on my bucket list to ride one day 💜 Congrats on the milestone and thank you for all your time and effort you put into this channel. I’ve really come to enjoy watching you and Tucker’s journey through your content. Best of luck with all your future endeavors!

Well done

My name is Emi and I’m such a big fan of yours! You’re absolutely amazing!!!

bo is the first horse i leased and i still love him so you saying u leased a bo was amazing

I just love your story. I also thought you were still a teenager. 😝 I am a huge fan and I love your videos. I just started to ride which has been a passion of mine since I was five years old. 51 years later I am actually on a horse. Thank you for being such a huge inspiration.

I really enjoyed your story. I started riding when I was 9. I was horse crazy from the day my Mom put me on the back of a donkey!

Wow what an amazing horse journey , you were very blessed to have such a great instructor , I love your videos , I owned horses for 6years , but sadly had to sell them due to a couple of life changes , now 8yrs later im back in the saddle I havint bought my own horse yet but I ride a lovely quarter horse mare each week and am really having alot of fun 😊

Wow! What an amazing life story! I LOVE how you love horses, dogs and kitties! I love your Christian spirit. It shines! 😉 I stumbled on your channel and have binged watched everything I think. I LOVE horses. Always have. Although I don’t own one but I’d love to some day. We’ll see. Take care and keep that sweet spirit! 💙🐴❤️😘

Your story is soooo coool. You are kind of a good example for me and I want to kind of follow your steps. Now I'm having hard times with it because it's expensive, I can't find a horse to lease or an instructor ready to share his knowledge without paying millions

Also congrats on 100k, u really deserved it❤️

It's really sad that most people will never know / experience the bond between a horse & a human. You were blessed with an incredible gift. I hope you never let go of it.

Video Idea: Riding All Of My Horses

YAY! I wish i could own a horse! I might beable to lease one though!

Very cool. You're so lucky that you've had such supportive mentors and family members along the way! My dream is to have a spicy little pony to bring up myself. :)

I am still young I go horse riding once a week but I miss one week because of how expensive it is and on when it hitsJuly I will start to work there also super vid I loved it

Such a nice vid:) I ride a horse named Gizmo and if the dogs at the stables walk in the gate he spooks😂🙄

I STARTID RIDING AT 7 TOO!!!!!

LOL its so funny bc I have two Haflingers as my first horses!

Heartland made me want horses lol

I like your hair

I am an older lady (64), who started riding very young also (11), but noone in my family could care less about horses. I got to work at a riding stable for a couple years but I taught myself cause it was just a rent to ride by the hour, no teacher. I didn't own a horse until in my 20's with just me again. Raised 5 children so horses had to go. Now at 63 I own 3 and still only know what I see and do with them on my own. I LOVE you and your horse so much. Thank you for showing me things to improve myself and my horse. We are on 4 acres and I have learned more patients, how to put a little fun in it, that treats used the right way are ok, and so many other things. I am a little jealous of the connection you two have, ( not in a bad way, very happy for you , ) and it shows me that it can happen. God bless you and again, thank you so so so much !! I am in Hopkins, SC. Blessings always !!
