I love how Lucinda has just taken you under her wing. Every video you can tell you’ve got a closer relationship and it shows in your riding. She understands your riding and knows exactly what to say/explain to get you to do the exercise. She wouldn’t give you something to do she doesn’t think you aren’t capable of doing 💜
Lucinda seems to have taken a bit of a shine to you Meg. The two of you work so well together and your riding improves so much more each time. For Lucinda to say that you rode those two very special horses beautifully is high praise indeed. I can definitely see the confidence she inspires in you. She believes in you, we believe in you, all you have left to do is really believe in yourself!
theres a second side to it tho, if the mare is super good do you want to risk loosing her? cause pregnancy is very taxing and the birth can be very dangerous for the mare
Lucinda is a great teacher & deserves the world after what’s she’s been through. She’s a perfect mix of no nonsense teaching (for instance “come on then”) yet she has compassion & empathy (but not to the point where she doesn’t move you forward and leaves you stuck). She also gives clear instructions which I love, it leaves you in no doubt what she expects & is asking of you (for instance she says increase not decrease at the corner & at 5.17 onwards wow I could visually see that taking shape then. Also get closer to the oxer, contact, wait) Which then manifests in you being more confident & the beaming smile on your face does it for me 👏 You were sitting much deeper as well before the upright which was amazing. She’s right about visual learning because that’s how sports coaches work (sorry if you know this) they don’t have to know the sport that well to help the person they coach. I’m sure one of Andy Murray’s coaches said this. But I remember it from my coach training many years ago. You’re an amazing rider Meg, your videos are a pleasure to watch👏
I agree you did great job of writing exactly how so many of us are feeling. I am not from the eventing world don’t know Lucinda’s back story/history but would like to hear about it. As a jumper she does great job teaching jumpers especially with poles and grid work. I have feeling that lot of her students do well in show jumper.
Is Daisy not the kind of horse you would be interested in? She is lovely and the way she went over the poles on the ground, she just picked her way over, lifting her legs so nicely.
Wow!! Who on earth was that riding!! What a huge improvement alround. Meg you were glowing and on form. What a shame you don’t go for daisy as very comfortable together. You should be proud of yourself 😊
Awsome job you did🙌😍 I love lucinda and Ellie, they do such an amazing job with the horses🐎🥰 Marley is a superstar and Daisy is insane, what a clever young horse🤯
Great rides! Marley is epic 😍 I hope all those little plans you've mentioned of getting a foal from him and Dee come thru. And idk, Daisy sure is something, and you seem very comfortable on her despite the 17hh (I've ridden horses that size and it sure is a view!) Maybe you should make an offer before she's less green and more expensive! Just imagine how tiny yours would look next to her... and she's so chill and kind, I bet she'd love being an auntie when she's not taking you up the levels ❤
Loved it!!! You rode both horses brilliantly. You need a big horse and all the best on your search for a new equine partner. Looking forward to watching the demo.
In Australia, saw the notification this morning and WAITED ALL DAY until after work and my chores to watch and bloody worth it!!! God I love Lucinda, love when you ride with her. YOUR FACE AND YOUR SMILE 😍👌🏼
I haven’t watched this video yet because it just came up as a notification but I love your videos and seeing your confidence come back the other day showjumping on Dee really made me smile 😊
Absolutely fabulous! Wonderful to see you riding so bold, soft, and tall, especially after such a confidence knocking fall. Do you think Lucinda would notice if a certain stud mysteriously disappeared?
He’s a very lucky guy having a kiss from you Meg🤣 that Smile says it all.. ❤ best positive vibes I seen a long time, keep it up you’re a special soul 😊 and this lady knows what she talking about old school 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 old school knows the game 😉😉 have a nice day tomorrow be safe
OMG!!! I watched and rewatched this loadsa times. Those horses are INCREDIBLE!!! I couldn’t stop looking at Daisys hind legs, talk about quick and powerful and how she self adjusted her striding was unreal!! That horse has got an amazing engine and the whole flog I was looking at the hind legs. Incredible. Infact I enjoyed it so much imma watch it again now❤
You are are a great rider Meghan. But can see in these sessions with Lucinda how you’ve moved to another level. Such gorgeous horses. Wish I were doing it ….and 30 years younger! Thanks for fabulous footage 🐴👍❤️
I think I need to go to Lucinda for training - she’s awesome. Definitely persuade her to do another demo in the midlands - I might be able to get there if it happens 😀
Absolutely awesome Meg Lucinda is the instructor for you and how lucky are you to ride these wonderful horses you rode them fantastic I am sooo jealous ❤your vlogs happy to see you back on track Hun ❤
What a schoolmaster he is😍👌! And so wonderful to see you Meg having so much fun, giggling like a child, straight from the heart 💖. Meg you always have such soft hands when you ride, so beautiful. Happy for you, brave woman🧡🔥🧡🔥🧡!!
Great vlog Ladies! Lucinda is just sooooo remarkable! Meg, you rode beautifully! A compliment to your riding that you were invited to ride Marley. Well done. Great to see you so confident and smiley. Stay safe. PS show vlog? 💙🐎😎
I adore Lucinda 😂the way she puts things makes me laugh sometimes and her wealth of knowledge I’d absolutely mind blowing x how luck are you she’s chosen to take you under her wing. I’m for the syndicate 😊 where do we sign up 😝🤣
What an awesome vlog. Meg, you rode beautifully (Lucinda's words, not just mine😊). Must say, you looked great on Daisy - she is fantastic. Her movement over the trot poles was stunning. Will look forward to the Demonstration vlog. A shout out to Lucinda & Ellie - Marley & Daisy are a credit to you both.
You rode both of these amazingly!! so lovely to see you smiling and happy (: Please do another clinic more towards the midlands, would love to come watch! Might be worth speaking to Hartpury about their indoor international arena?
I used the link and got the last 2 🤩 So thankful you’re doing something this end because I never get to go to things like this. Absolutely cannot wait! Glad to see you getting your confidence back Meg! 😀
Meg you rode Marley beautiful I know it’s difficult because I doubt myself as well but truly you are a fantastic rider ❤ you should be proud of yourself
I am so impressed with the stallion you would have no idea he is stud and he has so much talent. Can’t wait to see his future and if I had mare would definitely want to breed to him.
