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.

thank you for sharing this; I have had shit luck with my journey and in any case my divorce two years ago put an end to those dreams. Still enjoy following everyone’s endeavours- God knows I truly know how hard it is 🫶

Thank you for being so generous in sharing your journey with us. I’m pretty sure you were the first equestrian vlogger I followed on YouTube. Your channel immediately became essential viewing for me and I looked forward to each week’s vlog. Your honesty, kindness, pure love for your horses and the positive and calm way you encourage them is a breath of fresh air. And your smile is infectious. I will miss your vlog but understand the need to take a break from social media. Vlogging must be very time consuming and sometimes it’s nice just to be in the moment with your horses and 100% present, rather than having to think about something else. I find that I need time alone with my horses for that (rather than riding with friends). Wishing you, Tissy and Estrid well and hoping we see you again, sometime in the future. Take care. xx
