The horses

Three horses, in order.

Every rider is really a series of horses. These are Audrey's — what she learned on each one, and what they competed in together.

Since 2016

Elvis, Major Pain, and Best Tessa.

Audrey has been riding since 2016. Three horses carried the bulk of that: the Shetland pony she learned to hold on to, the one who made her ride properly, and the one she is competing on now.

Chapter One

Elvis

A Shetland pony who thought he was a full-size horse. Where Audrey learned to hold on.

Chapter Two

Major Pain

The horse who made her ride properly. Less forgiving, and the step up that every rider has to make somewhere.

Best Tessa — photo to be added

Chapter Three — current

Best Tessa

Show name Best Kept Secret. Honest over a fence, opinionated on the ground, and the reason the channel grew.

Still being filled in. Photos, videos, show results and the full story for each horse are being added. If you have show photography of Audrey on any of these three, get in touch — we credit and link every photographer.

Why this page exists

The horse is half the lesson.

Most riding content shows you a rider and a result. It rarely shows you which horse taught which thing — and that is usually the part that explains everything. Elvis taught her to hold on. Major Pain taught accuracy. Tessa is teaching her to ride a course.

Each page below has the same four things: the quick facts, the story of how she came to ride him or her, what she learned, and the record.

Tessa's lessons go up on the channel most weeks — the good rounds and the sloppy ones.
