MY DAD RIDES MY HORSE! // I wish this was clickbait...

My dad, Fiona's new rider. Fiona's new Grand Prix professional rider. My horse, Whisper. Who wants to be ridden by? Wellbeck! Wellbeck, yeah that's it. So I should probably explain that my dad's riding Fiona because I'm going back to college next week. And he's going to try and ride her while I'm at college. And maybe keep her going a bit so I can still compete her. Yeah, should be entertaining. Should be very interesting. Accidently gets Wellbeck, imagine. Also my dad. How many lessons have you done dad? Sorry? How many lessons have you done? Since when? Ever. Four. I'd say he's had about ten lessons in his life. I fell off eight times. He's fallen off eight times in his ten lessons. This is actually true. He used to fall off all the time. But this was like years ago. So obviously he hasn't ridden in a while. But you know what? I haven't ridden in six years. This is his third time riding her. And he's actually going pretty well. It's looking good. By how many times riding her? Third. Yeah, this will be your third. Prepare to be entertained. Bribery and corruption. Yeah, he just feeds her and hopes that she won't kill him. Which has been working so far. Good girl Fiona. Look at this. I wish you would video me like this. My vlogs would be so good. What are your thoughts on Fiona? How much do you like her? Fiona's my pet. She's my big soft pet. Until she tries to kill me. And then I won't be giving her that at all. Will I girl? No. You're the biggest girl in the world. Safety is like the best word for that, right? What do you have to do? You have to give him a brush before you go riding. Because it shows that you're bonded and attached to your bike. It's so important to get this one. And always go with the hair. Never go against the hair. You learned that yesterday. Never go against the hair. And really you should have the door closed. Because the horse could leave the stable pretty fast. And you have to chase it. Which wouldn't be very good. Always be safe. Stable safety is very important. Look at this girl. That's the effect boys and girls need. You want to have on your horse? You want to be so lovely and relaxed. You want to bore them to death. You want to have lovely and relaxed. Nice and still. They're happy. She is very relaxed. They want to be here. And she's going, oh I love this so much. Because this is the most important part. Making your horse really happy. Are you happy? See how happy she is when you're bouncing around in her back. Got the boots. Next you put on the front foot. Put on the boot. And be careful. What you do is you slide them over the back of the leg. Be careful. You're taking stable safety hugely into consideration. You just put it on the back of the leg. And just slide it out until you kind of feel it fish. Good girl. Not too tight. You're so good that. He's literally like rhyming off everything I told him yesterday. And then you just fold it down. Just make sure it's not too tight. But it should be covering enough. You get the hang of that. Good girl. You move over the front. You push your horse over slightly. Bobby is like, oh what the heck. And again you push down the back of the leg. Up. Down the back of the leg. You feel it go up. Slaps in. Bend over. Oops. Good girl. And then down. This is the one. This could be fun. Because this is a little more complicated. Look at all the dangly bits. The dangly bits. Look. Look at all the dangly bits. Jesus. You're making me a ******* Einstein. Oh I'm going to have to bleep out all your cursing then. This is a family friendly channel. So what we do first is. I think I put the reins on. Good girl. So then you do. You put the bridle up on the face. You pull back gently. And then you just put your finger in here. In here so she opens her mouth and she won't bite you. And then that goes in like that. It's better off if you're going to be getting over one ear first. And then you pull it over. Sorry boys and girls this might look a bit strange but. I'm not that good at them. You go the other ear second. And then you push her back into the stable. Because she's a big horse. And then you look at things. That's the hardest bit. You see where her fringe is. And you pull that down and you make a little mohican over. No. Then what you do is you take this little strap. And what you do is. How do you know this is it? You get three fingers. And you put it inside. That's an approximation of where it should be. Another good thing is if you're riding regularly. You look at the groove that's on the leather. And that's where it should be. No. And if it's been there for a long time. You know that's probably where it should be. We're using this hammerhead bit. Hammerhead bit. Oh my god. Then again you make sure that's all nice. And then. Now be careful now. We're making a big mistake here. This goes inside. Yes. This goes inside. I taught it. I'm so proud. Make sure it goes inside the. Cheek pieces. The cheek lateral straps. Cheek pieces. The cheek lateral straps. Then you come up in under the bit. Under here. Never go over. Big mistake. The number? The number's on it. Nice one. You could have just put it all on. No, you can't. That's not really cool to do. Not cool. You should be balancing your saddle here. You put this over. And you lift it up. Don't put it against the bit. Nice around there. Making that angle there. You just put that on so bizarre. I just. Now. You put the saddle. Somewhere in the centre of the horse. There you go. Then what I do is I get this. Which is the girth. And I go around the other side. What are we doing to you Fiona? Wish me luck. Okay. Off you go. Check my girth. Well yep. This is Dad's first time riding her without me having ridden her first. So it could be a little bit more interesting. That's a walk in. Interesting. Remember to use your inside leg. Just talk to her. Good girl. Or just ask her to canter without getting her legs first. No problem. And grab the mane. That's it. Brilliant. Oh don't fall off. Oh God. He's thinking of marketing guys. Oh God. Kinda missed. Kinda. Sit up now. Much better. Boys and girls. Ladies and gentlemen. That was brilliant. People who haven't ridden like me. There's a horse there. Go give it a go. Under supervision. It's so hard. It's so difficult. But it's so much fun. So give it a go. Fiona what did you think of that? That's the most important question. Are you going to allow him to keep riding you? Do you think she will? She says I suppose. She definitely will. He's not the worst in the world. You tired? I'm tired. He's wrecked. I'm wrecked. From jumping across poles. I'm not just tired. I'm absolutely wrecked. Fiona's laughing at you. She said how do you think I feel? What do you think girl? What do you think? She's so cute. Now dad is going to be a top rider. And actually he's going to keep doing her stretches every day too. Oh exactly. It's going to happen now. Stretchies for the girl. Oh look at that. She's licking her lips. That's because I've got my dirty feet on. You're very red in the face dad actually. I know. I'm balanced. Come on then. Do your stretches. I've been showing dad. It takes a little bit of manoeuvring. Behind my ear? No behind the knee. There? Yeah. Keep in mind dad's never even picked out a horse's foot before. That's it. Very good. She loves her stretches. She's really improved with them. Very good dad. I kept saying to hold behind the fetlock. Before I realised that dad doesn't actually know what the fetlock is. Hey girl. Look at her face. She's like yep. I'm the queen. Dad does all the horse care now. Oh that's great. I'm just like watching dad do all the work. Do you realise how hard this is? Do I realise? How hard what is? Watching you work? Doing all this sort of stuff. Who's that for? Is that for you? Oh my gosh. I love her so much. I think she's keen on this. Who loves this? Does the girl love this? There's a boy and his horse. Because she also I tracked. Come on. Let's go. Isn't it cute? Look at the size of Dally. Okay guys this is Dally. He's a two year old. He's like bigger than Fiona. I have to back that horse. He's just ginormous though. You like the horses first? Oh my god. If anyone wants lessons from this international Grand Prix rider then you know hit me up. I can organise some lessons. I'm cheap. A thousand euro an hour at a time. Oh that's all yeah. No problem.
