- Hello everyone and welcome back to my channel. Today I finally introduce you to my new(ish) dressage instructor, and he does not mess about. We run through my tests for Frickley Park horse trials this weekend, and Rich isn't impressed!

He’s a great teacher! Very knowledgeable. I’m a pure dressage rider and my trainer always says something similar: “ride the movement not the test.” Good luck this weekend!
As much as Rich is very “savage”, he is equally as constructive and complementary as he his firm and honest, which is a perfect quality in any trainer with your best interest at heart. Also, trainers who speak to you throughout a ride are always the best! Glad to finally meet him!
So good to see a young woman asking for real strong critique in order to work out the problems and improve. No one improves without brutal honesty. We just stay in the same spot. Congrats. He’s a good tutor. He sees the detail and doesn’t mess. Love it.
Omg he's a legend lol. We definitely need more Rich for sure. U rode the ponies so well and they really seemed to listen too. Yr whole demeanour changed when Rich was explaining and u looked fab. I love seeing u ride but omg u seemed so confident in this vlog. I can't wait for Frickly xx
Would love to see Rich ride them as well to compare . I bet you feel good about that lesson it was really productive
Meg: "What are my Dressage weaknesses?"
Rich: *gestures broadly*
😂😂😂
He is a wonderful instructor! Love “Judge doesn’t expect you not to do anything.”
What does he mean by this?
We need a rich fan page 🤣🤣
Lol, I agree 🤣🤣🤣
GREAT idea lol!😂
Loved this! Definitely need to see more Rich. He’s exactly my type of instructor, tells you what you need to know, not to scared to criticise
Hello. how are you doing?
that very last trot with dee at 29:40 was AMAZING. 🤩
Omg. That trot down the long side near the end, starting at 29:39......she was just floating! Beautiful!!! Well done, Meg and Dee!
Tough trainers are so rewarding when they give you praise, at least that’s what I tell myself 😂 more Rich!!
Richard is a gem! As for his parting words of wisdom? That definitely belongs on a t-shirt!
Oh I love Rich he’s so animated, what a fantastic instructor. No voiceovers required 😆 Fingers crossed both girls get to Badders this time. Just a great vlog Megs
Wow, that medium trot on Dee looked beautiful! I hope you’re able to bring that energy with you this weekend.
I really really love watching your videos, especially lessons, and this one was terrific. I have spinal stenosis and after I've finished crying my tears of frustration you inspire me to fight the good fight and keep looking for ways to stay in the saddle. Hope the event went great.
You are so strong! Keep doing what you're doing! It will always work out in the end! :)
You’re inspiring, keep fighting ❤️
@@Peyton_Macken Hello
@@johnlarry5204 Haii!! Do I know you?
@@Peyton_Macken How are you doing today?
I just love Dee so much (or apparently "this one" as she might be known from now on ;)). It really looked as if she too listened to Rich and concentrated so hard. I love how the two of you seem such a team of equals, you and Dee aka this one.
I love how honest, and blunt he is :)
Wow, they both looked so so good, especially in the trot! DDs medium trot at the end was stunning😍 You and Rich seem to work very well together!
Omg defo more Rich!! 😂😂😂 Amazing dressage work too Meg! I bet Hobbs is loving it 😎 You and your girls are looking so good. Looking forward to seeing how things go at Frickley! 👏👏👏
So informative! I could honestly watch videos of lessons all day and he seems a fabulous instructor. Ditch the 'pretty' and ride FORWARDS!!!
Awesome. My biggest proble. Is I ride a lovely test and warm up in practice. The moment I am either videoed or a test situation, I ride the test and not my horse. Hearing your coach say ride the horse not the test is great advice for thousands of us all over watching. This coach seems phenominal. I trained with Charlie Hutton for a while b4 he moved to Scotland. Best coach I connected with. These videos are invaluable for so many of us that are similar mistakes. Oh and you sit beautifully and showing warts and all makes it authentic. 👏
Wow I love Rich!!! He doesn’t beat around the bush at all 😍😍😍
No Meg you are amazing keep going, good constructive and complementary education is never a negative. Helen from New Zealand
He is very nice even when he’s pushing you to accomplish a movement. Wonderful instructor. Both lessons were good but Dee’s was very helpful for me and my horse. Thank you for the great video!!!!! 🐴😀
Ooh I really like him! Sharp but simultaniously incredible constructive aswell as very onboard to celebrate your victories when you ride just right. Firm, just and honest as they come 👌🏼 Very very educational! Really appreciate his insights 💪🏽 well done you guys are a dream team!
Yes please to seeing more of Rich on the channel!!!
LOVE Rich!!!! So useful hearing his advice
Hi Meg,
That was a very good instructor that you had for dressage, he really does know his business , I so enjoyed watching you and him communicate together. Well Done. 😎👍🐴🐎🧑🏻🦰
Your dressage has come one so incredibly much over the last year that even I can see it 😍
Rich is awesome! He keeps it real! More Rich riding lesson videos please. 👍
I absolutely love leg yielding, I need to try that exercise down the fence! It looks so fun
Rich is awesome Meg! Love his sense of humour. My old instructor was vicious but made me ride to the best of my ability. ❤️
What a find. Rich is a sweetheart and a wealth of knowledge. Dont lose him Meg
I would love to see more lessons with Rich! Wishing you the best of luck at Frickly!
Go Rich 💜 lovely riding. Fab 🇮🇪💚🍀
A great vlog. Rich is an awesome teacher. Meg, you & both ponies looked amazing. Your riding has most certainly become more polished with all the training you have had (no turds in sight, no glitter required🙂). Very best wishes for Frickley. You have everything in your 'tool box'. Go for it & have fun🤗
Love the Rich already...blunt but supportive...we do like a character. Used to have an instructor who used a loud hailer and would yell "you're riding like a bag of a***holes" at regular intervals.
Hahaha oh my gosh 😂
I love this guy! And his instruction for you was spot on. Great lessons to watch!
Jam is working so hard for you and really trying. I can almost hear her grunt with the effort here and there. Good job!!!💕💕💕💕💕
Wow! How kool is Rich! Love his laugh. Love how he communicates his lessons. Keep him! Now have to check out your scores since you're 8 hrs ahead of my time zone and it's Saturday at Frickley. Stay safe. 🐎💙😎
Hello. Jennifer J
Exited for this one Meg! Surely he can't be that savage 😬 x
meg i love him he's funny and brilliant 2 very gorgous girls my god Jams a totally different pony now wow what massive improvment the difference in your riding now since Lucinda is night and day i am so proud of you x
Great vlog Meg! Rich, the ponies and especially you, were superb. Have full sympathy in trying to “ride” a dressage test. The arena feels like it’s 10 feet square, and the movements come far too quickly! More of your lessons with Rich please, and best of luck at Frickley.
He is fab, very informative!
Hearing Rich’s commentary on Dee’s test was quite informative and helpful! Thanks for including it
You fit in that dressage saddle so well, it looks like its perfectly molded to you
Super excited to watch and see who your dressage instructor is!
often times to get the best results in this field of interest is exactly what Rich presents in his instruction courses - ya just got to bite the bullet and press on through it and endure it all as part of the process. it truly does work but only when the student is willing.
The trot at 29:39 was so beautiful!!!!
Lovely vlog Deedee s mussels were rippling the swimming is suiting her love your trainer good luck
OMG YOU TWO ARE AMAZING ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I NEED AN INSTRUCTOR LIKE THAT 😆
HUGE improvement Meg! great work!!! Good luck girl
You’re such an inspiration. Absolutely so excited to watch🥰.
I love this instructor
Love Rich’s energy! It would be great to see him in more vlogs. Good luck at Frickley tomorrow! 🍀
Your such an amazing rider and so exiting to watch. Have inspired me 🫶🏼❤️
You are looking class! Riding so well. Interview him about your Badminton ride. He must be just a little bit proud. You right hand isn’t nearly as bad as he makes out. Some physio on your shoulder /upper back and some kinesiology taping to give it some stability pre ride might be the answer to hand stability because your core is already stong
Great video Meg, watching you can really see the improvements in yourself, and both ponies throughout the lesson.
I was could feel myself riding there with you.
Good luck and best wishes for your competition.
I’m sure you’ll qualify both ponies 💕
Rich is amazing, his lesson was so informative, it was great viewing.
Awh thank you x
I love you Meg, I am always so excited to see your videos :)
Loved watching this - it’s brilliant to see how you train and improve! He’s a hilarious instructor but you are such an amazing rider to be able to make all those corrections - my brain would be scrambled!
Super educational! Thanks for posting. Definitely picked up a couple of interesting bits which I can't wait to try.
I really like this instructor! We need to see more lessons with him!
Jam really looks so good in the Dressage now :)))
So informative!! Would love to see more of Rich! Great vlog. ❤
You both have improved so much, well done.
Great lesson for both ponies! Best of luck at Frickley
Loved this video. Rich is such a good instructor. Would love to see more lesson vlogs
I would just absolutely love to know what goes through horses' minds when we take lesson. With all the raised voices and chaos lol
Rich is fun 😊would love to see more
You and ponies and your Mom
Found this so interesting to watch! Saw lots of similarities in what Rich was trying to get you to achieve to my coach too 👏🏻
He is a great teacher!
I can see the glitter sparkling from Australia 😂😂😂..and *the other 1* looked great !! Lol..loved it
Megan this is going to seem so random but I was watching the Dancing Queen music video by ABBA and I couldn’t help but see a resemblance between the brown haired one in green Anni-Frieda and you, 😂😂 literal doppelgänger 😂
I'm early for once 😂 might be going to see you compete on Saturday can't wait xx
I love watching your videos!! You are such a good rider I love horses!! I jump 2 feet cross rails and verticles!! I have advanced horseback riding at the upper barn which is more advanced! I have only been riding horses English style for 1 year and 6 months and I love it! I am doing walk, Trott, canter showing this year at the barn I ride at against other people!
22:38 was definitely my favourite, I’d give it a 5 star rating on hobbit’s filming!
Brilliant!!! Thank you !!!🥰
Great video Meg. Ride it like you stole it. :)
My dog loves watching ur videos!
Love Rich!, 😍😍😍
Watch out Meg! After this lesson Rich will be fully booked and you won’t get a slot with him!
Ooo this is exciting 😂 I love it when people are camera shy on this channel 😂
Edit: Rich’s famous phrase: “that was terrible” 😂
And he definitely needs to make a come back on the channel
well done. your such a good rider either way of any
So excited to watch ❤️❤️
“You can’t polish a turd but you can roll it in glitter” Rich Hayward 2022
This is the first video I’ve noticed how different Jam and Dee are, Jam rides like a pony where as Dee seems a lot more ‘horse’ like! Love them both, well I just love a mare🤣 💞
Hey Meg, I'm sure it's been mentioned but with Dee have you thought about riding with an ear bonnet for her on test day? Not sure what the British rules are but in Australia a lot of people ride with them
Meg, you are literally glowing. Did the sun do you good? :P
I shall be committing the 'roll a turd in glitter' comment to memory, brilliant :D
Get Rich to ride them ! 😊
29:40 was amazing
I’m so excited!!!!! x
LOVED IT!
That was really fun
Yes pls more Rich.
« Stop filming me »… I’m thinking… maybe Meg will regret this later on 😂😂😂 Better to do this AFTER the lesson 🤪
Very exited for this ❤️
I also would like to see Rich ride them to feel how good they are xx
