RIDING A DRESSAGE SCHOOL MASTER | Talland School of Equitation | EMD Eventing 

Pammy would literally frighten the life out of me haha x

Great job Em!! You looked fantastic even though you were so nervous. I bet a lot of people would have totally gone to pieces for the whole thing, especially with it being a surprise and no time to mentally prepare for it. At least now it has given you something else to aim for with Miss Lola's training hun. Lovely to see another video from you again, as always 🤗

Hey Emily. What a brilliant lesson. The difference from the start and the end was huge. He was a lot of horse to get motoring but by the end you were flying. Lovely to watch and totally inspiring. 👍😊

The cheek of the 'won't be on the bit then' comment 😂 It is amazing how quickly we get used to riding just our own horse/s, isn't it. Nothing gets your head in the game like a straight up, firm instructor making you do a lot of quick succession canter/walk transitions 👀😂 Once your head was in the game you pulled off some really nice work, well done! 😃

So good Emily, the controlled canter and half passes got so good, And awesome changes through the diagonal, getting 3 in, amazing! and the extended trot transitions... honestly you are so good at dressage, I reckon you and Lola should definitely see how far you can go with pure dressage when she's back on form, you're so naturally disciplined and good at it!

Amazing to see the development from first 5 mins to last 5 mins x well done Tina for such an amazing present and Em you rode amazingly and looked the part all be it without gloves (I very rarely wore my gloves but was never anywhere near the level of riding) x

Well done Em, I’ve ridden a few school masters and it’s really hard to get on new horses and ride them when you’re used to riding your own horse. Super experience thank you for sharing it.

I absolutely loved watching this! You were amazing Em - I had to lol at your face when he said oh an eventer, won’t be on the bit then. You sure showed him in the end 😂🙌🏼

That was great! One time I was riding a thoroughbred that was trained to do the Spanish walk, and I got to do it. Also the horse did passage/piaffe and maybe some other stuff which was so cool. I used to ride this guys horse, because I had no horse, which my uncle got me connected to years ago. I hope one day I’ll lose some weight and either take lessons so I can ride again. I hope one day I’ll have a another horseand can event low level in the future. You girls are so lucky to have nice horses and family and farms. ❤️ Hugs

Thank you for sharing this! So I had a jump on my share horse this evening and was riding in front of his owner. I totally appreciate what you said about riding and nerves - because I had this this evening! I am an experienced rider but I lost my stirrup for no reason, flappy arms I mean what the hell. But I look at you at such an elegant and accomplished rider and it does make me feel better when you are honest and say that nerves affected you too. I hope you don't mind me saying that! :)

I had Frodo for my Schoolmaster lessons and he is sublime. His canter is amazing and I found I felt like I could sit to his trot forever. He taught me half pass, shoulder in and flying changes 😍😍

(thunderclap) PAMMY!! 🤣 🤣 🤣

Emily you did brilliantly. This is a whole different discipline. Like asking a Touring Car driver to take on a Formula One car in an F1 race - different 'buttons' as you said, & a different 'vehicle'. You rocked it. You made the podium across the finishing line at Silverstone🙂. Sorry about the car analogy, my hubby's a huge fan. You looked great, the horse looked great (on the bit too) - Charlotte Dujardin watch out!!!

What an awesome birthday gift from an amazing bestie well done Tina 👏well ridden Emily 👏

Well Done Em, you were brilliant. You handled that really well, seeing as it was a surprise. Congratulations xx

I'm getting there getting subscribed to the 3 friends of MEG. glad she had you all on that one video so i could find more fun riding stuff!!

That looked brilliant, so lovely to ride something that knows its job. You did very well x

That looked amazing, glad you had a fabulous birthday treat xx

Excited !!!!

Loved this vlog you did amazing I think I would of cried when pammy came over . You did great Emily xx

I’d love to be able to ride like you ! Looked amazing and always do 💞 x

any college/equestrian place is all about safety so gloves is a must 😂

I’m glad u got to experience Mrs H at her finest even if it was a blur, that lady has imparted so many pearls of wisdom to me I could make a necklace 😂 x

I love sprity and Lola and your friend Tina's horse Banksy! They so beautiful! You did wonderful in dressage! :)

Well done for surviving Pammy! I had been riding my whole life when i got on a advanced dressage horse and for about 15 minutes i felt like i couldnt ride. I will say I think the trot work and lateral movements are so much easier in sitting trot than rising because you can use your seat and shoulders better

you did so well! loved this, as always xx

I totally feel you...I'm a short rider from hip to knee making saddles hard to fit and dressage length stirrup's impossible !! It's the sit up heels down thing really hard to do...🤣🤣

Phew that was tough instruction. I don't do good with tough love lol. But you came on leaps in bounds. What a wonderful birthday present! Looked like tough work for sure.

Amazing !!! Big Thumbs Up !!!

Could literally watch lesson in Talland all day 😂

This looked so excellent now what is she going to do for all your other birthdays especially your big 30th birthday now she has the bar really high with this one but I think every horse person would love the chance to ride a school master in there choice of discipline I know I would so thank you for taking us along

Epic vblog well done 😁👏👏

3rd lol . love both emily and Tina.

What a fitting prezzie, you did well xx

This is so weird! I used to school doing a lot of these exercises (Didn't think I was anywhere near this level. I only rode the rabble because that's all I got for voluntary work.) I know as a rider it takes a lot of work and effort. I'm just glad I've ridden all sorts once I got into riding and it stayed that way. Keeps you on your toes. I was doing those canter-walk-opposite canter transitions on a 3/4 Shire x.... I know I've said horses can turn their hoof to anything, but this horse barely got this level of schooling as he was mostly for novice adult riders. I'm impressed in hindsight that he was forward and receptive to do it. (And he loved doing lateral work! Maybe he was bored and enjoyed something other than plodding around the school)

Love this amazing I learnt so much from watching this 😊

Fantastic 💗

You did amazing! I would be the same at the beginning! When I’m nervous I do the same...I’m desperate for a lesson at talland! I bet you were tired after

I have watched your video lots of times .im not weird lol im hoping to go to Talland for more experience...any tips you can give me 😀..maybe not s school master, not experienced really. Loved watching this trying to build up the courage 🐎

That was great to watch you did super! One day 🤣

Once you knew those buttons, you were off, off and away! 👌🥰✈️✈️🚀

👍👍❤️🇺🇸

I can't ride in gloves. Ill just let my hands get ripped up

FIRST!!! AGAIN😍😍🐴

Very very great performance

the nose band on the bridle on the horse face is too low for my liking

Some of the trotting is hard to watch. I know you can ride. But some trotting was bad. Very stiff. Like you was trying to hard. Or a beginner
