He had one, but I wonder if Granite Media is his sole income now.
It is - he quit his job as a geologist last year I believe to do GLM full time. He’s doing incredibly well with it, obviously able to piggy back off of Meg’s connections to begin with but now must be busy as he’s quite good and specialised in equestrian content

Id imagine that camera gear is highly expensive, along with the “slow mo” cameras as well. I guess it’s the “in” thing at the moment for all this media content in equestrian.
Watched Tina’s 2nd vlog from Badminton and thought it was good, fantastic to see Alex warm her up in all 3 phases and I really hope she stays with him, I can see why that second in time cost her in placings, that would be frustrating. Banks makes it all look so easy, but I’ve noticed he “flicks” his head up and down quite noticeably in his canter work on the flat.

I really enjoyed Tina’s second vlog. I’m so glad that Alex warmed her up- all sensible and relaxed advice.
Banksy is a horse of a lifetime.

I really enjoyed it too. Felt quite emotional for her. Banksy really is lovely, and she did so well getting that clear in SJ. The warm-up looked horrendous!!!
So glad Alex got such a fab result at Badminton 5* too. He seems a really nice guy.

I was just coming here to say that! Amazing score. Fingers crossed SJ and XC goes well. She's put so much work into Ember, I'd love to see it pay off (despite the fact that I still have serious misgivings over his jumping style for the higher levels).

Oh I’m so pleased for Lucy! That’s incredible. Her hard work and patience is certainly paying off! She has always been my favourite out of the VE squad.

Delighted for Lucy! Her and time and patience and support from Justine has paid off.

A great weekend for them both, Lucy winning and Justine jumping a lovely double clear with Brody at his first Novice.

Bloody hell Lucy! Fabulous result and so well deserved, she’s been patient and put the time in to understand and work with him. Remember when she could barely get him in the showjumping ring and he just would plant or go backwards? So, so pleased for her.

So I decided to try ELS eventing from comments on here and there is such a big difference. She is so mature and takes it as it comes. No drama just get on with it...how refreshing!

Thanks for the suggestion!

Started watching Tina’s second Badminton vlog when I was in the bath after work earlier. So lovely seeing how Alex warms them up. But my god, could Cam be any louder helping other people warm up for the SJ? I got the vibe he feels a bit jibbed by Tina on that front. Especially after how he walked the XC course with her. The constant questions rather than just talking her through what she should do and kind of feel that’s why the course walk segment in part 1 was so long. So he wouldn’t feel excluded as they’re friends. But he’s meant to be filling her with confidence rather than giving her a lesson mid course walk and making her second guess herself. I’ve come to the conclusion he also just loves the sound of his own voice.

Sorry, he just really grinds on me 🤣

I think you can tell she’s got much bigger goals than the other main eventing YouTubers. I think she’ll easily end up going semi pro with her attitude and also aptitude with her horses. Meg honestly could’ve gone novice 2 years ago with Jam. Evie qualified Donut for GS 100 his first season (correct me if I’m wrong here) and then put him in a novice right after.

I can't believe she got doughnut for £1! How old is he??? He is such a cool horse.

Question...what happens if a loose dog causes the horse and rider to get penalties? Like say doughnut had reacted badly and refused a jump because of the dog...what would happen with the marking in that?

Very much agree with you here. He can’t shut up for a second. Alex’s tuition is just so much better in every way. Cam talks down to people, whether intentionally or not. His questionning of Tina walking the XC course was cringeworthy- he just came across like he was talking to a child. I’m not sure he realises he is doing it.
