GRID JUMPING AND DIFFERENT HORSES 

It’s nice to see that Lucinda after all her years and years of experience still counts strides.

Marley is an absolute icon. What a beauty, everyone's dream 😍

Don't be so hard on yourself. As you are learning new things about something you have done differently a million times before, you are bound to lose some confidence.... it is something new to the mix of old. You have to change and change is hard. And you are helping others by being open and public with your journey. Amazing. You got this. Lucinda is wonderful and you are doing well. Give yourself the freedom to be wrong without judgement and you will learn it even faster.....You are a wonderful horsewoman and you are learning details most folk never even care about.... You make an old horseman happy with every video. TY

Really respect Lucinda as a trainer!

That was a VAST improvement with DD. Looked absolutely FAB. I love that Lucinda is quietly very perceptive and picked up the ‘precious’ side of you that holds you both back. Small steps. You’re doing great

I really enjoyed Lucinda’s lessons showing the importance of adjustability in your riding. Would you consider breeding Dee to Marley? He seems to have it all- looks, calm temperament, movement , scope and soundness.

I don’t even jump anymore, but I really learned a lot by watching the canter poles. Meg, you are riding super well. I know falls shake your confidence, but you are a really stellar rider.

This video was super interesting! Learning about those boots really got you thinking. Also it was amazing to watch you and Lucinda ride + watching you and Dee sync up together while riding under Lucinda’s direction was incredible.

Marley is such a fantastic stallion, would definitely use him if I was breeding an eventer. I really really hope you’re buying the mare from the Fredericks 😊

I think key to overcoming your loss of confidence is realising that it's perfectly reasonable to have a confidence wobble after faceplanting like you did at Bicton. It's plain in your voice, and your riding position how anxious you're getting - some counselling may well help get you some tools to start learning how to work through anxiety and to realise when you are actually getting anxious. But also continue having lessons with people who are understanding how to talk you through it, giving you the keys (better riding skills and understanding your horse skills) to making your riding safer and you more confident as a result. I think the combination of different teachers you've had these last few months all tackle your problems in different ways - might be worth studying them carefully to identify which make the biggest difference to how you feel riding. But counselling will help you to hear those trainers rather than the anxious voices in your head clamouring them out. I did find a book called 'mindfulness, finding peace in a frantic world' pretty good for starting to understand how to gather control of my thoughts instead of the incessant negative self talk that I hadn't realised was running through my head. Good luck Meg, you can overcome the fear, just make sure you take advantage of all the help you can get, you're not alone. :)

Absolutely love Lucinda, she reminds me so much of my instructors, they yell, tell us how it is, sometimes a bit too harshly, but the truth is that most people learn so much better from straightforward instructors, instead of the ones that just coddle you.

I love these type of videos of you riding different horses! I love your vids Meg ❤

Aaah Meg - What a brave heart you are and it's inspiring for us all. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and fears your training and your overcoming the fears.. , Lucinda is a legend - such a great trainer

Dee's canter really improved with the poles - fantastic exercise. I'm sure there's loads to take away from this - hope it continues to help your journey!

Aww Dee seemed so happy doing that. I'm excited she got to come and together y'all got to have a lesson with Lucinda. You got praised by her, allow yourself some grace and let that give you confidence. You got skillz!!! 😊👍🏻

Love these videos, keep them coming! Thanks for the pole exercise inspiration 😎 nice to see you a horse sized horse again 👏😍

Got you working. Loved the line. “ Because you’re precious.” Lucinda is on it.

Lucinda is such a good trainer. DD has improved so much just in one session and well done Meg！💕💕

You know Meg, a sports therapist is a fantastic idea. They’ll get your mind in the right set for the big year coming up. You need someone to guide you through this barrier. You’ are all so good as a team and you need to believe that again. I’m rooting for you all the way.

Really enjoyed watching this! definitely taking those pole exercises home, for both me and my horses. I fully support sports psych/therapy - your confidence will come back in time, but as I'm sure you know, it takes work and courage to keep testing and pushing your boundaries safely. You may take steps backwards sometimes, but still look forward and you'll regain it again

Dee is a fire breathing dragon! You are a fab rider Meg … don’t forget it.

Hang in there Meg! You will be ok. You don't need to have half as much faith in Dee as to regain faith in yourself.

Your riding is so beautiful Meg you need to believe in yourself more!! Such an educational video, loved it!

You can see how much dee is working her stomach muscles over those poles !!!! What a fab lesson you both had ❤

watching your videos always makes me happy no matter the mood im in!

I really like how the instructor explains and thinks!!!

Meg and DeeDee: the warriorprincesses💖💖. You did so so well, Meg!! Truly. 😍

Don’t be so hard on yourself Meg…you are a great little rider. I can see, looking back at some of your old vlogs just how much you have progressed.

Proud of you, Love yoooouuuu!!

Binge watching all the videos from the last two months to get myself less nervous over my first ride back tomorrow after my bad injury.

Loving seeing an influencer highlighting the issues with boots! I love the idea of the husk boots, but sadly the price point puts them out of contention for me (and a lot of people)

marleys just a magnificent horse, everyone dream ❤

I just clicked on this as soon as I saw it and I’m so excited to watch it

I literally just love you videos so much and I think you are my idol cuz you are so good at riding❤

Blue is beautiful and trots so smoothly!! I went to the NEC yesterday and met Meg and Esme and they are two amazing people who have inspired me to keep riding, so if you ever get the chance to meet them I would 100000% recommend seeing them. I had a amazing day yesterday and I would definitely recommend going to the NEC next year. The dates for next year are the 3rd and 4th of March. Harlow Luna White and Charlotte Dujardin will be there next year. Thank you Meg for being so nice and wonderful. Xx

Lucinda looks like part of her horse and is a joy to watch . I would love to see her ride D

Lucinda: That was your fault, don’t worry 😃 This woman makes me laugh - such talent and character 😂 Well done Meg! You rode super! 😊

Wow! All this hard work and we benefit from it!!! Seriously THANKS FOR SHARING! ❤❤❤your instructor is impressive😊wow the teaching about leg temperature xxxx😮by the way she made you look seriously professional 🥰 how great you’ll end up 😍😍😍😍

Another amazing video! I think my riding has benefited by watching these lessons with Lucinda! Hoping that Jam is okay ❤💓

Brilliant vlog thankyou Meg you are looking more confident now your back with lucinda you 2 really are the perfect match as student and teacher x

Have all the faith in DD! She was such a machine round Bicton XC in the most awful awful weather. Maybe having to concentrate on her whilst Jammy has her little break will help break the winter impasse. Great idea re: the sports psychologist - brains are sneaky things and I think we all need a bit of help sometimes, especially after the fall. You both walked away unscathed but it must have been terrifying. Getting some help working through that I'm sure would be helpful - look how much Tina's confidence has improved from doing the same thing.

Marley is a DREAM!!!

I love that light blue equidryyyy omggg

Really great lesson, so brilliant to see how you and Dee were coming together in control.

I think you both learned and improved massively, DD schooled over the poles and improved no end as you adjusted her canter, you must practice at home as your confidence in your super mare will improve, well done xx

You are such a good rider and marley is so pretty 💪💪💅💅🐴🐴👍👍👍

These latest videos where your confidence has not been great really make my heart go out to you Meg... I'm not the most confident rider anyway and then after a fall... Ugh.

What interesting and intense lessons from Lucinda. Well ridden Meg, Dee looked super.

Oh my gosh 😳only watching blue and LF is so intense and bloody fabulous 😅 you didn’t get a second off 🤣 ❤

soo excited for this video!!! love love love these series

True test of the husk boots would be if they don’t make my sweats a lot thoroughbred sweat in the high summer of North Carolina. I only use boots for XC and when we’re trail riding over rough ground for this exact reason.

Haven't even watched this yet but I recently rewatched your badminton video again and I'm excited for badminton this year!

These videos with Lucinda are so helpful! I love hearing all her little pieces of wisdom ;) Your improvement in just one session is truly outstanding!!!!!!!!

This was so interesting Meg and Lucinda is the best trainer for you to get your confidence back to 100%. Those sessions have been so good and you rode Blue beautifully he’s gorgeous. Keep smiling you’ll get there I’m sure of that. You and Tina are working so hard even I am sleepy watching. Both of you are very lucky. Looking forward to seeing you girls on the next vlogi am really enjoying the whole thing.tfs😎🏇😎

your confidence knock is completely understandable. its so frustrating and i know how it feels! x

Awesome vlog - after the bit about the HUSK boots I’ve just gone and bought a pair - they are exactly what we need - your confidence will return you just have to work at it believe in yourself tell yourself how good you are don’t dwell on what was look to the future - ❤

Well done meg!! Marley is absolutely stunning 😍😍

Love these lesson vlogs. It's so interesting to see different styles of teaching. A lot of instructors here in the US are too "precious" and never point-blank tell you how it is. The only one I had who did was from the UK! :P

Wow Lucinda and Marley are incredible! Dee looked fab too there was such an improvement just in that lesson

Super excited, I'm going to binge your videos the day before my birthday! My birthday is this week

This is such a great video! Full of good info! And you did amazing! :) Dee is looking so buff and fit!

I’m knackered just watching you! Very useful to watch!

Good job Meg!!

Yayyyyyyyy loving this little series ❤❤

I love these longer episodes I can smart cast it right to my TV! Lol

LOVE THIS SO MUCH! You are literally an icon Meg ❤ Live Laugh Love you!

GOD SHE LOOKS GOOD! Losing confidence sucks so bad. Defo recommend anything mindset, it has helped me a lot with biz, still working on the riding haha x

Lucinda is literally seaw-sawing the horses mouth💀

Making the new collection look 👌so interesting to get an insight into Lucinda's teaching too!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ so so so so so so times 1 million so excited 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Not saying much you know what you doing wrong but dee dee jumped much better when you sit back and I find you ride horses better I sure it’s just me but I found you are enjoying yourself on them if you think dee dee is a horse I think you win everything but I biased because I think you are a great rider and a good person ❤give dee dee a carrot 🥕 from me ❤

Really interesting, great to watch. Lots of learning for myself ! I can highly recommend a book by Stephanie Burns , Move Closer Stay Longer. Really Really good for changing the way we approach/ think. And best of all it is not a long winded book. It has been many yrs since I have read it,but I still remember her tips. And it changed my world after a bad buster & all I wanted to do was ride ! Keep making time for lessons with Lucinda ,she is sooo respectful of where you are at but also knows how & when to stretch your boundaries 😉. Love it.

My little girl love your video

Great Video!! I was counting with you all!! Beautiful horses!! Learnt heaps!

Lucinda saying how grannies drive is exactly how I drive 😭😂😂😂😂😂

Mine had a rash the other week! Loratadine for a few days and it went away. It’s the time of year.

Really enjoyed seeing your lessons with Lucinda, so much information!

had so much fun meeting u at the show today meg!

Looking forward to seeing the jumping lesson tomorrow!

AHHH I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO IM SO EXCITED TO WATCH ITTT

Meg your riding it’s just 💅🏻💅🏻💅🏻💅🏻💅🏻

Do hope that dede gets better soon

Omg I saw this and was like oooh! Then I saw the time (53 mins ago) and immediately clicked on it lol

Loved this video Meg!! Dee is so similar to my mare in many ways, so I’ve learnt a lot from this video 😆

You did brilliantly, well done. I had a big confidence wobble a few years back with my jumping and had some sessions with a confidence coach/sports psychologist, It really helped and I’d def recommend!

Loved this! My favourite thing Lucinda says is “discipline” DAYMNNN I need to work on discipline 🙈

Super informative, great lesson thanks Meg!

Enjoyed your video, you are always so busy, videos alway full of content, well done, great job, 👍

“This is going to go up” says Lucinda……”Noooooo” says Meg

that was fantastic!! We'd better see you practicing those poles at home (wink). I don't think you give Dede enough credit, she looks pretty scopie over that grid. Please don't beat yourself up, you had a bad fall and it for sure will shake you. Like you said talking to a sport psychologist might help. Thanks for sharing, as always so much great teaching from Lucinda!

I looooooove listening to Lucinda!!! Shame about her knee ☹️

Love these videos Meg!

Awesome

Great video Meg. Well done!

Well done Meg! You looked fab 🙌🏻

Meg have you tried salt therapy that helps alot with hives. I use salt therapy on my horse about ones a month it helps with all sorts. I use it for my horse for seasonal coughs and mudfever or sweet itch. I really do recommend it highly

I loved it💖your horses are soo cute

I love all these saddle pads!!

A true fashion show

Love ur vids Meg! ❤
