Bye for now

We’ve put out 225 vlogs over the last 4 years, the idea was to document my journey of getting a horse from Novice to FEI in Endurance. It hasn’t quite panned out that way, with 4 novice seasons later but I’ve really enjoyed having the footage to look back on and I know that in decades time I’ll enjoy watching it all over again. We wanted to put more positive information about endurance out there and hopefully, maybe, encourage people to give it a go as there wasn’t really anyone in the YouTube space who did Endurance.

In those 4 years we’ve never missed an upload, most the time you just film what you’re up to organically but sometimes you have to prep videos in advance if you’re away or busy etc. They take a little bit of extra effort to film and then about 1-2 hours to edit every week but I really enjoy it as a creative outlet.

With Estrid injured and Tissy living a much more relaxed life these days I thought it would be a good opportunity to have some time off making videos. I’m not sure how long for or whether it will be a permanent decision but for the first time in 4 years I just don’t feel like filming and the idea of a tech/social media detox seems to be what I need right now. Hopefully we’ll be back soon but for now thank you to everyone who has followed along, encouraged us, asked questions, sent me pictures of their first endurance ride and created a lovely little community in our corner of the internet.
