This was best walk trot canter lesson I’ve ever seen. Even tho that wasn’t the main part!
Yay! Glad you enjoyed it, Jyll! xx
I was so invested in Ash’s success! I was genuinely so excited for her and felt like I had done it with her! And that is why we love this sport! Thank you so much Alicia for putting the spotlight on learning and how fun it can be. That was AMAZING to watch and learn!
You're welcome, Shannon! Glad you liked it xx
I've had a huge breakthrough in riding my mare in 2pt. My horse has always worn me out trying to work up her energy. I now warm her up in 2 pt. She appreciates me getting off her back while she loosens up and works forward. This allows me the opportunity to work on so many other things we need. This really was a big problem that was easily solved but I had never thought to ride in 2 pt. Thank you! Thank you for all the things you are sharing with us!
Glad it worked well for you!! Super job!
I love how much feedback you give her while she's riding. You're with her every step & super encouraging! Love how positive you are
Thanks, Lys!! TEAM WORK!!
Alicia you are a very special person! There are very few people that have the ability to communicate in this way! There are no coaches where I live so thank you for being there for me! Every post I learn so much and make daily changes to my riding. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU❣❣❣
Wow, this melts our hearts! Thank you! xx
The BEST episode by far!!! Thank you Alicia, all this information you are giving us and in a way that actually makes sense, it’s invaluable. Seeing the “mistakes” and how you can start fixing them in real time is soooo much helpful. Please keep this series going. I feel like can relate with Ash and I am learning so much watching you two work together. Great job, both of you!!
Glad it was helpful!
I got a little bit emotional and teary eyed when she got that last pirouette. Very cool to see.
Yes!! Amazing isn't it?
Me as well ! ❤
Wow I think it's fantastic to see how she struggled with the bend in the leg yield and half pass to just riding a pirouette! I feel Alicia gives great lessons, but Ashe is also so fast to pick things up and adjust her riding to it. Loving this series!
I totally agree! She is just amazing xx
Thanks, Ash and Alicia. It so generous of Ash to share her learning experiences with us - I know how nerve wracking it can be to ride in front of an audience.
Our pleasure!
Ps The most beautiful dream in the world Alicia, to share horses like Gee, with less privileged riders!!!
I just have so say too, your brain Alicia is so quick & you're so intuitive, to be able to dissect every movement, know what's going on to enhance or block the success & then give the blow by blow advice! The repetition in your commentary really works, & the "for your feeling" comments, great strategies!! Brilliant teacher Alicia - so in awe!! ❤ you, that you ❤ all this so much!! 🐎🥰🙏
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback! We appreciate it 😘
Ash is so brave to continue to pursue her dreams even after such a big injury! That transition @7:35 would have scared me, but she continued so well!
Yes - she is one brave, amazing, lady xx
Ash's smile at the end was priceless! Just goes to show how incredible you can be in you have access to the right instruction and support, and then are willing to listen, learn and go outside of your comfort zone. Ash, you really are a superstar! Thanks Alicia and Gee for making this possible.
And she is having fun!!
This is my favorite video. I had chills watching it. Riding at such a high level is my dream. I'm nine months pregnant, can't wait to get on my horse again. so far, I watch your video's every day, some of them I rewatch again and again! I love Alicia's energy, I would dream of such a trainer.
Love this, Asia! xx
Ok that was amazing to c how you can use the gallop to get a bigger trot absolutely loved it
Thank you Jennifer!
Thank you Alicia & huge thanks to Ash! And props to Gee of course. I'm having soon many "lightbulb moments" with these session. It is(for me) so beneficial to watch a coaching session where we get to see the"not there yet" things & your coaching to improve them. Love this & look forward to more.
More to come! x
This is such an excellent video format, loved seeing you correcting things in real-time and the difference they made
YAY! So glad you enjoyed the video x
This was amazing! So excited for her , I felt like I was there and cheering her on while I walked on the treadmill haha …So fun ! Ash is so brave and Gee is such a sport ☺️🥰 more please of this team !
More to come! 😘
Thank you so so much for this video…I never considered the fact that I might be blocking the horse. It makes so much sense though!! I had a really great ride today because of this video and even all your other ones that I’ve watched. Everything has been so immensely helpful. Usually when I try something I’ve learned from a video has had meh results, but all the things you’ve shown/taught have worked extremely well. Thank you so so much. You’re a great teacher!
Thank you! x
I LOVE your videos. I recently got a beautiful WB. Had him 2 months. He knows so much more than I do. However… watching your videos - I just came second in our very first competition. Got a 67.93%. I am so excited. You videos really make sense to my brain! Thank you … keep making them 💕💕🦄
Hi Claire - that sounds wonderful! HUGE WELL DONE on your competition results!!!! So glad we could help xx
When that horse halted it was sqaure !!!! OMG !!!! You are such a good teacher !!!!!
Yay!!
Thanks Ash for being so brave and allowing us to learn with you! 💕
Love this!!
Can someone please record Alicia yelling “flap like a duck” on repeat for me to listen to while I’m riding haha. Best thing ever ! I need this visual for every transition!! Love you guys.
Hahaha oh I love this Renee! Perhaps we need to make a "Alicia Special" and it can be all her phrases ... Christmas release!!
Keeping it simple and FUN. You're enthusiasm is contagious 😊
I can't say this enough but my goodness how i wish I'd had this info when I was riding. You youngsters are so blessed to have Aicia and Tash to share their knowledge. The explanations and visuals are just awesome and cater for everyone whether visual, auditory or kinesthetic in your preference. Bravo Alicia.👏👏👏👏
Amazing feedback!! We LOVE it!!
Omg. Massive well done Ash, this was incredible to watch. I think this has to top my favourite list of videos so far.
No one has ever pointed out exactly how i could turn like that. I knew I was over using my inside rein, but didn't know how to be more effective without. I'm so excited to give these tips a go, I want to ditch work and run off and get on my horse 🤣 (I better not, I'll get fired lol). We have been struggling with right bend in particular, to the point that River will sometimes rear if you put too much pressure on.
I can't express how motivated this makes me.
Thank you both so much, you are amazing. Xx
Hey Naomi, this is a so great to read! Love that you are going to leave work and ride - sounds like a plan to us!!! xx
OMG! This was exactly what I needed! I've had problems for years with gripping with My legs when riding horses that are more on the lazy side. Thank you so much!!! One of The best lessons I have ever seen 😍
Wonderful!
I was cheering often when Ash had break throughs. As a coach you really motivate your students. This video makes me want to take dressage lessons. Thanks to Ash for sharing.
Thanks! We think Ash is amazing too :)
I cant tell you how much your way of teaching speaks to me. I feel as if I can follow your direction so well instead of getting in my head and overthinking with so many other ways of instruction. I do not know dressage terms etc so your simple yet effective steps to work with the horse has been eye opening. I just wish you were here or I was there!!! Thank you
You are so welcome
Ash is a trooper for giving us access to her lesson! Thank you!
Happy to help!
Amazing . This made me tear up. So happy for Ash . Canter pirouette. You are the best Alisha. ❤️
Thank you so much!!
Everyone should have these kind of riding lessons! Loved it❤ thanks for sharing
Glad you liked it!! Thank you x
Thanks Ash and Alicia. This was so helpful. I realised I was pretty much doing all the same things as Ash was doing, even to the point where my horse has a little buck into the canter. Now I have some tools to try and fix all this!
Super excited for you to try it! Tell us how you go xx
Alicia you are one of the most wonderful people ever. With these goals you have, you make the equestrian world so so beautiful. Loads of love.
Lovely feedback!! We're more than happy to help xx
Amazing video! Thank you!
LOL!!! "THINK Friday nights!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🦴
🤣🤣🤣
Wow this was so helpful for me especially with the bending! I would dream of a lesson on Gee! I’m hoping my young dressage horse -who I just broke in this summer myself, will turn out to be this amazing ! I’m an amature dressage rider only just beginning training elementary at home with my other new forest pony so it’s a huge achievement to have been able to break my young Warmblood myself and your videos came all at the right time because I have applied the things you have taught to her and it’s worked wonders! Like the leg yielding when they get a bit sticky, flapping and rising to get trot and not kicking etc. I hope to one day have an online or in person lesson with you as I’ve never understood things so clearly from an instructor 💕🎉 Thankyou Alicia (and tash as I’ve watched loads of your videos too!) and I can’t wait to keep learning from you to reach my goals with my young mare!
Hi Lacey, love this, its so lovely to hear about your horses and what you are achieving. Glad our videos are helping you with that journey xx
Alicia, you are a BRILLIANT teacher!!
Thank you!! 😊
Amazing lesson! Every time I turn on a video I’m learning so so much. Watching a rider at a lower level work through some of these different questions is incredibly helpful.
So glad you loved this Hayley x
Such a helpful video. Ty for sharing ❤️
You're welcome, Tara!
Brilliant!!! This is my favorite series, go Ash!!!
Yes!!
Highly illuminative, thanks!
😘
Amazing!! Explanation was Beautiful! Now to put my horse and I to work.
Soo exciting! Tell us how you go xx
So much admiration for Ash. What an amazing job she did. This stuff is not easy! Fab video, absolutely loved it.
Ash is amazing!!
Awesome instructions ❤
Even Ashe made it look easy!
😍
Oh WOW 🤩 This is a treasure 💎
💯
Well I just went out and ride my boy and don’t a lot of ‘gallop’ and after about 10 minutes of this exercise his trot had changed 100%! Thank you so much Alicia I’ve been searching for this answer for years! Now to use his new trot to help us in all other aspects and movements! YOU ARE AMAZING! and thank you for reminding me to never give up and to focus more on my riding which will in turn help my beautiful horses!
Wow!! Amazing you!!
Absolutely Brilliant learnt so much Xx
Glad it was helpful! Thank you!
Every single time I watch your videos over and over it makes me want to be on a horse right there right now! Honestly such valuable information! Roll on tomorrow evening until I can try being these into practice!
Go for it!
Got so much out of this. And I was epically overjoyed for Ash's progress in this lesson...v cool!!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Ash did so well in this lesson didn't she xx
Thank you, great to watch Ash have the odd struggle & you explain to help Ash. X
Thank you!
That's so funny Ash thought she would do better at the end to the left but she did better to the right. Amazing ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!
Amazing! Thanks Ashley and Alicia!!! 😘
You're welcome! x
That's was amazing for me and big 👏👏 for you and for Ash 👏👏👏👏👏 Well done
Thank you so much 😀
I’m thrilled to bits for Ash; a canter pirouette on the side she deemed her most challenging! So much learning for us all too; an epic video. Many thanks!
Thank you!!
thank you Alicia for such a great lesson video showing the reality of learning new movements. love the way you teach, you are so positive and reaffirming even when things don't happen correctly the first time...what a wonderful instructor and friend you are. thanks you for breaking things down step by step!!
Love this, Carol!
So helpful!
Our pleasure! x
Wow food for thought 😆 always learning.
Love it, thank you!!
Ash is amazing! How long has she been riding? I feel like calling her beginner is almost an injustice
Hi Dainne, Ash has been riding for a long time but she has had some time off riding, you are right that she is not exactly a beginner at riding but she is learning the basics of dressage! You can most definitely be a confident rider but beginner at dressage if that makes sense! xx
Thank you very much for this series! I really enjoy it, and always hear things I can implement in my own riding, things I haven't understood until you said them in the video. Thanks again!
Wow! Thank you, A!
Beautiful lesson , loved watching Ash during her upper level movement s lessons!
Glad you liked it!
Australia here.....Hello... I need to visit and have lessons from you .LOVE LOVE LOVE your personality & knowledge. Thank you
Hello Sue! 😘
I love this I have a lazy mare , this is on my list xxx
Go for it! x
Love this videos with live coachning a less experience rider. You explane it so good Alicia with the reins in the sideway movement and the bending. So positive and kind way of training.
Thankyou Ulrika!
Love this and with having Suprusinitus tendonitis in one of my shoulders it's good to see that Ash has an issue too but works round it. Go girl!
You got this!
So excited for this!
yes!!!
This episode has been extraordinary, I understand finaly how to use the reins in half pass. Thank you so much!!!
You're welcome! xx
Omg! I am so proud of Ashy!! you did such an amazing job! and so did "Gee". I had the biggest smile on my face and screamed YES! YOU GO GIRL!! at the end of the episode. Alicia you had her looking like a pro! an absolute inspiration your lessons are...Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou!
Yes, Ash and Gee are amazing!! They had so much fun filming this xx
Wow! That was excellent! Struggles, balancing, straightness, forward ness, not too much hand - and practice, practice, practice - I love how encouraging this is. Very helpful to know its okay to ‘refresh’ the trot and canter when the horse is learning. Thanks for showing the correct aids. Such a lovely horse - good riding - thanks very much for this virtual lesson experience.
❤️
That was epic, awesome riding Ash
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was awesome!! Soo soo helpful, fab riding and great instruction and explanation. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very interesting! But I keep watching to Ash’ arms during riding, especially when she have to do something that is hard… My instructrice kills me everytime I doesn’t sit correctly 😅🤭 There to say that she is doing a great job ‘cause riding a horse that’s een bit lazy, is extremely hard. So go Ash!
Thanks so much for tuning in and all the support for Ash! So glad you liked the video!
Great lesson Ash! Thanks for sharing.
Our pleasure!
Such an enthusiastic coach. I love it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Alicia!!! This is FANTASTIC!!! Love love love how much I got from this episode! Thank you 🙏
You're so welcome!
These full session videos are super helpful and very special! No other yt channel does it like you guys! Thank you
Yay!! Glad you think so xx
So cool to see the transformation as she makes small corrections! Great job Ash!
She did a great job! 😘
Loved this!!!
yay!!
Brilliant video!! Thank you Alicia and Ash for showing us how to fix things without just showing the good
Thank you!!
That was awesome. I had never heard flap like a duck till i started watching this channel . It completely makes sense to help with not gripping with your knees. Ty for all you do.
Glad you enjoyed it xx
What a beautiful job your friend did ! Great coaching of course and so kind. Gee deff woke up when he realized what was up. Beautiful riding for an amateur trying super hard. A US GP.dressage rider says doing tonz of transitions -as you did - really perks a horse up as they don't know what to expect next so become more alert. 👍👍👏👏Well done you !!!
Thank you!!
Great work. Brilliant 👍👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
That was just the best lesson to watch. I really enjoyed this video. Thanks so much for sharing with us all.
Thank you for tuning in, Jane!
Excellent lesson!
Thank youuuu!!!!
This video was so helpful. It’s great to see a lesson in real time and to see the progress Ash has made from start to end. I can’t wait to apply some of these tips for when I ride next ! 😊
Good to hear!
Excellent teaching! Thanks, I learned several changes I can make to improve riding leg yields and half pass!
Awesome!! We would love to hear how you go :)
Wow Ash you're doing fantastic
Yes!!
Omg amazing. Well done
Thanks, Sam!
Thank you so much Alicia and Ash, this was so inspiring !
You're most welcome, Alice!
These videos are amazing! I keep watching them every couple of months and learn so much each time!!
So glad you are enjoying the videos x
Love this ❤️
❤️
This was super helpful!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Welldone Ash. You did so well. i had a go myself this morning. kept my feet as if they were on the floor and one flap like a duck and to start rising. Got a trot every attempt. Same when coming back from a two point canter. Back into trot straight away. Gave me a freerer trot after pushing the canter forwards. I also tried a the leg yeild and turning the head / shoulder and i got it, in a fashion not perfect but, it's a start. Thankyou so much Alicia, Ash and handsome Gee. xx
Great results Jo!!!!! We love reading about how you are using the video tips in your riding and having success xx
Wooooo Hooooo go Ash!!! That was bloody amazing!!! I was cheering you on for those canter pirouettes!!! So happy for you!! Great instruction Alisha!! Both deserve drinks!🥂❤👏🎉 and Gee the legend!! 🐴
🥂
SUPER! Love these lesson videos!
Glad you like them!
Another brilliant, informative video. After incorporating a lot of your suggestions on suppling and moving forward into my training last month, my dressage score increased by 7%,
!Thank you so much 😁 x
Glad to help!
Very nice!
Thanks!
LOVE LOVE LOVE THE LIVE SESSIONS AND LESSONS! HELPS SO SO MUCH!! YOU ARE AWESOME ALICIA
Woohoo!!!
How do you keep a positive mindset when your having a hard ride. When I’m not doing my best I tend to get really down on myself and almost zone out! How to I stay positive and turn my ride into a good one?
Great question! The best thing is to understand it is a journey with the horses and if you are learning also there will be ups and downs. The more you understand the theory (watch the videos and expand your knowledge) the more simple you will find the training. Keep learning and when you dont understand ask questions until you do! This will help your riding xx
This was the best leg yielding video I have seen. Really helpful.
Woohoo! Thank you x
