okay in today's video we are doing a first for our family Bode is getting to
go out on his very first trail ride and Daisy is going out on her very first
trail ride Tovah is riding her and we are going out for a very first trail ride as
a family so if you're new here my name is brandi this is my husband Jason and this is
Bode and Tovah this channel is all about horses and our journey with horsemanship
so if you want to follow our journey or learn more about horses make sure to hit
that subscribe button okay here we go we need helmets and bridles hey Bodi
come on over honey grab the rope by your face babe yeah and
you also let your pony go struggle is real bodis trying to lead his pony while
he's eating the Apple and the pony wants the Apple she wants the Apple too honey
yeah real life struggles though and then to us like throwing her stuff we're just
we're just a wreck here now watch out you don't drop it the poop okay you take
this pony thank you yeah that'd be great ask daddy hey Bodhi won't you come on
over here and get your helmet and your bridle Bodhi and I think the ponies will
follow just fine but we're at my parents house because there's really great
trails that doesn't require us to be by any highways or anything so I think
hopefully nobody gets dumped off ponies giggling back there
Oh daisies trotting along cool daisies the polka-dotted mini she's I think 11
and she really has been quite a little stinker she's she's definitely the type
of pony that gives ponies a bad name and she's not a pony she's a miniature horse
but so Tova is being an awesome little pony trainer and has been riding her and
getting her out and doing stuff Daisy has a tendency to she really likes to
Bach so Toba has proven that she can hold on and ride that and so yeah she's
yeah and now she trots really nice so it's really awesome yeah she sure did
she was sitting on her neck this is so far going really good as long as they
don't try to eat too much we've had a couple of situations actually with both
kids in the last couple weeks where their ponies Tovah was on bear yesterday
and he decided to put his head down rather abruptly in the yard to eat grass
and his saddle flipped up on his neck and Toba went splat yeah well it pulled
you're amazing that I'm so excited I've been looking forward to this day for a
very long time tomorrow is Labor Day and one year ago on Labor Day was Tobi's
very first trail ride so and I have a video of that which was absolutely epic
so I'll post a link above to that so you can check that out definitely will put a
smile on your face petrol is up there she loves being a
lead horse she's such a great trail horse she just loves to go and look at
everything I think Rosie is kind of Petra's little tag-along in the pasture
it's cute because she looks like she's her baby
and Daisy always hangs out with Nocona my Appaloosa mirror and so it looks like
she's her baby it's pretty adorable that's really who I should be on right
now is that is Nocona but Nocona is having a little issue stay tuned I'm
gonna do a couple of videos showing what's going on with Nocona right now my
beautiful leopard Appaloosa mare so stay tuned to see more about that look at how
great these ponies are being my gosh Bodie does so good riding in the arena
for his age and you know how much he knows but I know that he gets a little
bit bored so this is the perfect thing to do yep okay so I'm guessing Bodie
falls off at least once today or Tova I don't know Daisy really likes to pug
yeah that's good you got to stay behind daddy honey now Rosie's having a lot of
fun she likes this
yeah but don't let her try it because she could easily trip going down this
big hill honey she could fall on you
yeah
what Tober yeah there's nothing more handsome than a husband on a horse
you're fine okay oh I gotta get it together here so the kids are fine
there is a giant bird bodis thought it was a toucan we live in Michigan it was
not a toucan um but anyway big oh you're just kidding around
okay so anyway Odie's pony actually when I jumped off my horse bodis pony was
standing on his leg and it's just like Oh get off and the pony just like got
off his leg and he just got right back on oh my gosh I'm so proud of him
hey Toby just kind of oh oh I gotta get it together a pelican it was not a
pelican it was like a turkey or something but anyway oh I have to get it
together it's not funny that my kids just fell
off it was the manor and how they reacted to it that was amazingly awesome
and now I'm like laughing hysterically so but I do that anytime something bad
happens I seem to like laugh
I know I see that I'm just waiting for his pony to break into a canter Bodie
has cantered on Miss Kitty it was not planned he did it on purpose but he
wasn't supposed to and but he's never cantered on Rosie
she's she trots really fast before she Cantor's so I want him to get a little
bit better at that fast trot first before he Cantor's her but maybe it
happens on the trail oh well the nice thing about having smaller horses they
don't have too far to land that's my horse
she toots the whole time we're about 3/4 of the way through our ride now and we
did have two more other little situations that I felt kind of bad about
well Bodie was going downhill and gosh it's so hard to keep that saddle
centered on that pony's back it keeps ending up on her neck and so all of a
sudden Bodie was on Rosie's neck and so I had to hop down and pull the saddle
back and I did that a couple times actually so I gotta figure something out
with that pony as far as the bridge and goes or a cup or even but I think a
Briton might be best for her and then right after Bodie had problems being on
Rosie's neck Daisy shook really hard and it you know
Tova's ridden a horse many times that has shook but she like fell forward and
hit her chin on daisies I will I don't worry I'm just walking
and I'll catch up and she fell forward and hit her mouth on Daisy's head and
little troopers such little troopers gosh it's like it's like we're riding
with some sheep with us there's so little but the kids that really are
having a ball I think they're getting hungry now though bug on her face I
could just sit and watch this view all day what what are you doing here being
silly yeah I can definitely watch this all day you shut your eyes all right
Oh a crow hop or something okay whatever works for you I'm pretty proud of you
and how you're riding Daisy pretty proud of Daisy and Rosie Bodi you're doing
great job too no Daisy hasn't bucked at all she got a little excited once when
you tried it too fast probably not I
could um well Jason just ditched us he took off running up the hill there's
this really uh let's just let blossom walk a little bit so she's not excited
to catch up to Petra but we can definitely try to the field so Jason
just took off on us up the hill is a great thing for blossom to have to do
because she's like um where'd my friend go but so what
sure we can trot all over the field but Jason hasn't been on a horse in quite a
while so he's pretty excited to go running so he's having fun with Petra oh
and he's back
you have a cramp but you just want to try how'd it go
she's pretty fast isn't she she loves to run and she's um she quiets down really
well yeah just don't let your pony put her head down cuz you're gonna go right
over her head
right
that's okay she doesn't it's okay sure
can I go in the arena
whoo Bodi I almost just got shook off no you're not getting on honey Callie kitty
because you guys are getting down no well told I think you did a fabulous job
with Daisy that was really good for her first trail ride you did a great job
with her thank you for taking her Bodi you're not getting back on your pony
