Bike VS Horse! Equilab Challenge AD | This Esme

[Music] moments like this hello everybody this is me and today i have a very epic video for you guys so before today's video starts i thought i'd do a little sneak peek of what's coming up [Music] [Music] so yes today's video is bike versus horse because i have been challenged by equilab to ride 10 miles with casper now i thought with my challenge videos i like to involve my brother max so he's going to be joining us as well but before today's video starts i'd like to say a huge thank you to equilab for sponsoring today's video so if i grab out my phone i'll do a little chat with you guys about it because i've actually been using the app so much with both joey and casper so if i load up the app we can have a look at my profile so i have my stable so you can add horses onto there so i've got casper and i've got joey so if we go on to what i've been up to recently we can see okay so the hack that we did the other day um it was one hour and 25 minutes so we were out for quite a while it's really cool because you can see all the places where we've cantered where we've walked where we've trotted um it also tells us the distance so the other day we did five miles our average speed was 3.5 miles per hour it's a little bit slower because we did stop to take some photos you can have a look at how many calories i burned which is quite cool how many strides casper did it even tells you what the weather was like then you can rate how hard the ground was how well the horse and the rider performed so there are lots of different stats that you can look at which is very cool so when max and i go ahead and see who's faster as well we can also see a session where i did some jumping with casper which was pretty cool um so you can also add a little photo it's kind of like a horsey diary because you can look back on rides you've had you can even add little photos so i can see exactly what exercise i was doing with casper on that particular day so he did some really cool jumping you can also see again how much canter walk and shot we did but what's really interesting is you can actually see what rain i worked on most um so i did a little bit more on the left rain with casper which is actually his better rain so after looking at this i really need to work on the right range a little bit more it wasn't too much difference it was pretty even actually looking at this i did more trot on the right range but more canton on the left so that's really interesting you can even go into the detailed stats looking at their top speed for casper that was 10 miles per hour which is pretty cool um obviously we're only in the school so we weren't like proper galloping you can see their tempo their transitions their stride and their elevation as well so lots of really technical stuff which is really interesting to look at also you can use the app to organize your horsey live such as when the vet needs to next come out or when the pharynx needs to come out which with joey i really have to be on top of because he loses his shoes if it goes one day over six weeks then guarantee he'll lose a shoe so i always need to make sure that he is booked in for the farrier when he is needed all right so i need to go and tell max that i've challenged him to erase a long distance race around 10 miles i believe so i hope he's up for it i think casper and i are going to win because we've also don't tell max but i'm going to be keeping a little eye on him because i'm gonna make sure that he uses equilab as well even though he's not a horse and there's actually a really cool feature on here that you can get a friend or a family member to have so when you go out hacking they can track where you are which i think is a really important safety feature especially um back a few years ago when i started hacking the horses by myself sometimes or even if you're older and you hack on you by yourself all the time it's really nice just to make sure that somebody's out there looking out for you but anyway so i'm going to be able to see where max is in the race and see if i'm ahead of him or if he's ahead of me so that's going to be very exciting but anyway i'm going to go and grab him now see what he thinks hi max hi there so uh you know how you're my favorite brother right yeah i'm your only brother but yeah sure go carry on um so i have been asked to challenge you so we've got another challenge but wait wait don't say anything yet so it's going to be a challenge that where you're not going to embarrass yourself you're not going to look stupid and you're actually going to enjoy this one okay so i've been asked to challenge you for a race you can go on your bike i'm going to be on casper to the beacon back are you up for it yeah sure i mean i'll trash you uh no i'm gonna win so come on max i'm gonna show you the map and everything let's go all right so here is the map and this is our starting point and we're gonna go all the way up to the beacon so it's going to be 10 miles in total as the crow flies however we have slightly different routes because obviously you're going to be on a bike yeah i'm going to be on a horse so you're going to be taking the roads and i'm gonna be taking the fields the forest and also up the hills so i'm gonna be on the bridal path basically um so your route unfortunately is a little bit longer because you're on the road um so i thought to track everything it would be really good if we both downloaded the equilab app so if you go into the app store and check that out as you can see it's really easy to download it's free there are add-ons which i'm going to add on for you because i'm a very generous sister of uh yeah and then we can see each other's top speeds and things so once you've done that we'll head outside i'll get casper ready you can get changed into whatever you wear and your bike stuff don't really understand that kind of thing um but yeah i'll see you outside in a second yeah see you in a minute and i'm gonna beat you let's go all right so you might be wondering esme why did you decide to use casper for this challenge instead of joey now casper is the older horse he's more experienced he's he might be smaller he might be a little bit slower when it comes to their top speed however casper will be quicker down the hills and that's where we're going to struggle down the hills max is going to be so fast and casper's not going to be as fast there might be some places where we can walk a little bit faster and maybe even trot a little bit faster where it's like a gradual slope compared to joey because joey's the kind of horse where if something's going downhill because he's young and still has his baby legs he'll probably fall on his face and we're going to go up some pretty steep hills now casper loves the hills he as soon as he sees a hill in a big open field he's like mommy please can we gallop so he's going to love today's challenge [Music] hey this this isn't truly necessary so i think it is faster oh no oh no oh no okay okay ladies and gentlemen welcome to the ultimate test of speed and endurance as team horse take on team bike a race from the stables to the beacon and back there can be only one winner it's all to play for in this latest challenge previously casper has proved dominant in his challenges and even though max might be faster on the road he has a much longer distance to travel to the start who will win horse or bike [Music] byers have fun you're gonna win or something okay viewers so esme always finds a way to fix it for her to make her win but this time it's gonna be different because i'm gonna win and i'm gonna show you how in a minute [Music] all right so i thought i'd give casper a little bit of a breather a little bit of a rest so we've just done some proper fast galloping um just thought to see where max is up to and i'm really confused because it says he's stationary like he's not moving anywhere i wouldn't think he would have a break because he's pretty competitive so i don't know what's happened with him okay guys i'm not going to be taking this bike you see the shortest distance between two points is a straight line so to win like castro i'm glad to go off road and that means i can't take this bike i'm going to take a mountain bike and i'm not going to take any old man to bike i'm going to take an e-bike okay let's go chase down casper and esme [Music] all right guys i am currently in the woods with a casper here um he is actually so up for it today i think it's because we're somewhere new that he hasn't really been before so he is just i'm hoping to hold him back now he wants to chop the whole way but i need to give him a little bit of a rest in between and also the ground is a little bit uneven here so i don't want him going too fast i have no idea where max says i should probably get out my phone and check where he is but so far i'm really happy with casper and he's really enjoying it you want to say hi you say hi yep oh oh okay we're trotting now i will see you guys in a bit [Music] [Music] okay so we have just galloped up a hill and casper's still ready and raring to go he absolutely loves his hacking but um we're having to walk down a hill now and that's the one thing that you have to be a little bit slower is going down the hills because as much as casper would love to counter down them that's going to end with us doing a roly-poly going down i don't want casper to trip or fall over you know still got quite a way left to go we've got to make it home too so we're walking down i thought i would grab out the camera have a little bit of a chat but no he's chilling he's doing well we're just going down now and [Music] [Music] so max we're here at the halfway point where we've got five minutes to have a quick rest bit of a snack and everything um but i've noticed you've cheated you've got your electric bike it's not cheating i mean you didn't say i couldn't i guess i didn't but we did still beat you so i'll let you off we still have all the way home left to go casper as you can see is ready and absolutely raring to go he's i've been easy on him on the way here yeah he's got a lot of fuel left in the tank to go but i guess for you it's pretty much downhill all the way isn't it i feel gravity you've had a lot of uphill on the way here but you know what casper he's pretty speedy he's got a lot of energy left i guess it's all to play yeah i've got gravity and you only just beat me so yeah i think i've got the advantage on the way back all right then guess it's all to play for this sort of play see you at the bottom let's go [Music] hmm so max welcome to the studio you took so long that we're having to film in here because it's actually dark outside now so what happened to your bike did it have like a refusal did it go lame what happened i think they call her mechanical in the business okay puncture nice yeah good thing casper can't get a puncture but um so yeah i think i think we beat you by quite a bit yeah but it would if if i hadn't had that it would have been really close or i would have beaten you to be fair to be fair we did get to the beacon at quite a similar time so we might have to have a rematch and see how it went so can we get your app out obviously you don't want to see how long you were out there for because that was quite a while but we can have a look at your top speed and things that was your top speed mine was 42 miles an hour whoa you must have been going really fast down the hill downhill from the beacon there's like a steep on the road section where you can get like yeah i don't think casper could go that fast down the hills but his average speed was a lot faster probably oh yeah if you include that i was going zero three hours that's true i think i was around 19 because i didn't want to push it too much because obviously it was long distance but that's still pretty pretty fast for a little connemara ponies so um anyway we're definitely gonna have to have a rematch and we're definitely gonna beat you but um anyway guys thank you so much max for taking part in today's challenge thank you
