Hello everybody and welcome back to my podcast, Esme's Country Life. Today I'm going to be ranking

0:05.4

all of the different equestrian disciplines I have done so far in my life. Now, this might be a little bit

0:12.7

controversial because I know that some of you are going to, your favourite one is going to be the one that

0:16.6

I like the least. Obviously, this is my personal opinion. Also, I have more slash less experience

0:22.5

in different ones. So some of them I've ranked lower just because I haven't done them as much.

0:28.0

And also, some of them I've ranked lower because I find them difficult. Okay, I found them difficult.

0:33.0

So if you're really good at them, then hats off to you. But anyway, before we begin, I just want

0:37.2

to say a huge thank you to the sponsor of the podcast, Red Post. Red Post is an equestrian country store based in the UK, and they also ship all over the world. And if you have any competitions coming up in your horse riding, then do you know what Red Post have? Competition gear. Maybe you need a new hairnet, maybe you need a new show jacket, show

0:55.4

shirt, maybe you need some new white breeches because yours have stains on. Mine sometimes go like

1:01.0

that. Do you know where you can get them? Red Post Equesteroon. So you can go and check them out

1:05.1

at redpostquestion.com.com. Anyway, let's get in to today's podcast episode. Now, one of the reasons why I thought I

1:13.6

would do this one is because I've, you know, I've been very lucky enough to do lots of different

1:19.9

equestrian disciplines. And whenever somebody asks me, like, Esme, what is your discipline? I kind of

1:25.1

have to be a horse rider that can, with my channel and my job,

1:28.4

that can, you know, turn, turn their, I was going to say turn their hoof. That's normally what you say to horses. Joey, Joey's quite good at turning his hoof to different activities. But anyway, I've got to, you know, try, try and do lots of different horsey activities. So the one that I we're going to start at the bottom, my least favourite,

1:45.7

to the top, my favourite. So obviously just a, you know, I don't want to give too much of a spoiler,

1:51.6

but the ones at the top are probably going to be the ones that I've done a lot of or have a lot

1:55.5

of experience in. So the one right at the bottom is side saddle. Now, I want to say the reason why it's at the bottom is because I found it hard, okay? So I actually have a, yeah, all of these, I was going to say, I actually have a video on this one, all of these disciplines. I have a video on my channel. So if you want to go and check them out, go and watch it after this.

2:19.9

But when I did side saddle, now I would, I'd say I was quite adventurous because I did side saddle jumping, okay? I might have fallen off. I fell off when I did the side saddle jumping. I tell you what, I got back on though, it was fine. but if you're used to riding a stride, as they say, where you have both legs either side of the saddle,

2:37.0

aka what I would call just... back on though it was fine but if you're used to riding a stride as they say where you have both

2:35.4

legs either side of the saddle aka what I would call just normal horse riding if you're used to

2:40.0

riding a stride then if you ever done side saddle oh my goodness it is like you don't know how to
