The First Ride!! | Breaking the Vanners

In Episode 3 of The Vanner Girls, we take the next quiet step in starting our Gypsy Vanner horses under saddle. This video documents their first rides, featuring all three Vanners as we get on their backs for the very first time.

There’s no rush, no dramatics, and no shortcuts. Just thoughtful horsemanship, patience, and trust built one moment at a time. We walk through the process of transitioning from groundwork to saddle, focusing on calm energy, clear communication, and setting these horses up for long-term success.

If you enjoy horse training videos, Gypsy Vanner content, starting young horses, or slow, documentary-style farm and equestrian vlogs, this episode is for you. The Vanner Girls series follows our journey with these horses from the very beginning, showing the real, unpolished work behind building confident, willing partners.
