Fall Off Duke. One Year Today [Bareback]

*Forgot to add no crit! I don't blame duke it wasnt his fault, i was just trying to get him to canter, our first attempt and he just trotted faster and faster and i couldn't slow him down because my incapability in controlling my horse :P*

First time riding him bareback, i wanted to try something different for our year anniversary :D it went well :P the fall was pathetic including me trying to stay on :P i could feel myself slipping and started laughing, then got to a point where i couldn't get back on again :P i was attempting to canter him, i think you will agree that our second time was a little bit more successful :)

This video was suppose to be up yesterday 9th August but i am having technical difficulties at the moment :/ so fingers crossed this will upload today! Can't believe that i have loaned him for a year, a cleche to say but it only feels like yesterday that i went to go and see him :) It really has been a great year and it's hard to put into words how much this horse means to me :) but i have a full video of that to come shortly.

I realise you haven't seen the beast for a month now :O but there has been lots going on, at the beginning of the month we had our second lesson together which went extremely well :) very proud of our progress actually! So we decided that the following weekend we should attempt our second prelim. Went better than i expected, for a prelim 10 which was a little bit more challenging than our previous test. Duke went a little dead to my leg by the time we started the test, so next time i will make sure to bring some spurs with me :) but other than that he listened to me well and we came 5th achieving our first rosset :D unfortunately didnt get any footage of the test as my parents didnt come with me, but have some more pro pictures that i will have to put into a video of our summer together as you haven't seen much updated footage of the dude :)

hope everyone is having a lovely summer, sorry for the essay :) please comment and i shouldn't moan because i am so happy ight now, but i have 355 subscribers and i am barely getting 100 views on my videos! Don't sub if your not going to watch my videos :) thank you to those who have stayed loyal throughout :) xxx

@Smarby very stylish :) the rest went quite well, although my riding isn't something to be desired :P but to be fair i don't get on well with bareback riding :P probs because i have only riding bareback 3 times in the 9 years of riding lol i value my saddle too much haha but no stirrups are fine no problem :) he is such a dude, he didn't like me falling off, looked at me as if i was stupid, he got that right :) xxx

[Smarby]

Oh dearrrr, you did it very gracefully it must be said! :L Rest of the session looks great though, he is SUCH a lovely chappy! xx
