this was really nice to watch - wish i had the guts to stick with something like that

 

[forestfantasy]

Amazing rider for stopping on for (most) of those episodes! Jeez!!

 

[stargirl88]

Good on her. I like seeing a happy ending

 

[cobmum]

wow she is one hell of a rider and good on her for seeing it through. I wonder if the horse acted like that out of pain or just naughtiness?

 

[horseytea]

I don't know why, but this just made me cry! My horse isn't quite that, but certainly a challenge. Everyone told me to take her back...I'm glad I didn't! Love this story.

 

[LauraWheeler]

Thats a great video. I Love storys like this about people who don't give up and prove everyone else wrong

 

[ArabianGold]

won't let me watch it

 

[leflynn]

Thats perserverance! All I could think why isn't she wearing a BP when he's dangerous (started wearing one again recently after a few near miss decks dunkings)

Good on her for not giving up

 

[Spudlet]

wow she is one hell of a rider and good on her for seeing it through. I wonder if the horse acted like that out of pain or just naughtiness?

I'd be interested to know that as well - interesting that on the video it says that a 6 week break was the turning point. Wonder if that was to do with both horse and rider getting a mental break from the constant battling with each other, the fact that they did in-hand stuff and maybe built a closer bond on the ground, or maybe some niggly pain issue settled down during that time off...?

Good on her for sticking with it

 

[Cupcakes and Horses]

I don't know why, but this just made me cry!

Me too!

Well done for sticking with it, its really paid off and your bond will be stronger for it. Lower leg is amazing!

 

[whiteclover]

Wow what a difference. Hes like a different horse.

I have been snooping on here for a little while and been a bit afraid to post! So hope this doesn't sound too weird But I have been following Jazz on youtube since her horse Cicero died, Casper was brought after Cicero and she has now had Casper for 3 years! There is another video here for the three years: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pC12...xt=C3986a9bUDOEgsToPDskKTqbcMqrYiPGOxHXx3q7Aa
She truly is an inspirational rider to me and a lot of other people!

 

[Cobwanted]

You are one brave lady!! And now he is a credit to you. Well done.

 

[Spudlet]

Wouldn't it be fascinating to know what's going on in that horse's head? What is he saying; ' I'm bored, I don't want to, I'm scared, I'm not feeling confident, this hurt once and it might hurt again'? Or none of the above? Just so interesting! And so great to see a good outcome too

 

[Gracie21]

LOVE IT! Made me very emotional!

 

[sjp1]

I think she is amazing. Time after time she kept on getting on after he had had her off. Am so pleased he came right for her in the end. I suspect when he had chipped a bone she spent a lot of time with him doing groundwork and something just clicked for them.

Brilliant!

Didn't realise it was the same girl! I was heart broken when I heard her story of poor Cicero, so I drew her a little picture of him. (Even though I hadn't known her or the horse previously, it had just touched me.)

I hope with a little more time and less people riding him, I can have a break through like that with Ned!

 

[sandi_84]

Wow that was a seriously glued on rider! Well done Jazz for doing what everyone told you was impossible! Looks like you have a wonderfull bond together now and your boy looks so much happier and more relaxed

 

[1Lucie]

seriously admire this young lady!! Wow. She has nerves of steel!!

 

[MiCsarah]

I have also been following these videos, they are brilliant

 

[Murphs_Mum]

Wow what a gutsy rider, he was very lucky to end up with her. Such a shame I can't view the first year video but the 2nd and 3rd are amazing.

 

[wildflower]

What a super talented rider and horse, super jump....its lovely that horses like this find owners that will stick with it, very brave , and very intelligent hossie off to watch the other vids now

 

[Tiffany]

So pleased she stuck with him - braver than me

 

[Myhorseeatsmoney]

I strongly believe that you form a stronger bond of trust on the ground than in the saddle. Horses that I have had problems with definately improve when ridden if I spend a lot of time on the ground with them.

I am sure they are going to have some great times together, that young woman is very brave and now has a super horse, what a great video!

 

[Orangehorse]

That was great, and I am another one a bit tearful. Right little b....ger wasn't he? Just shows what a bit of work and schooling can do! She certainly had guts, and even when he was being a prat she didn't use her stick.

Well done!

 

[Snowysadude]

That was two years ago, I followed her videos a bit and she does even better with him and her other boy now! Very impressed

 

[EquestriVan]

i know her, she used to come and jump my boy for me and she is a fab rider. so calm and patient.

She is doing well with her boys and is a really nice person. i will tell her come and have a look at your comments

 

[Horseback Rider]

What a lovely video no horridly strong bits, no contraptions strapping the horse down, she just kept going with perseverance & patience and it seems to have paid off.

 

[Caol Ila]

I really admired the way she rode through his crazy shenanigans. As soft and light in her hands as one can be in those circumstances, and with a velcro butt. Really nice riding. He's a talented horse as well.
