Fantastic words of wisdom. My original trainer said. Your job is to get him there. His job is to jump it. I have avoided trainers obsessed about me seeing the perfect stride as the wheels seem to fall off everything else. This reassured me to focus on the things that are more important
I love how informative this seminar is and how you explain everything in detail. I somehow feel like I'm riding and listening and putting everything you say into practice.. Love love love, South Africa
I always learn so much from Lucinda’s videos and teachings. Horses are so incredible and Lucinda is an amazing trainer. I just love listening to her wisdom and life experiences. Thank you Lucinda for this webinar.
Oh my! This is everything my wonderful trainer Daniela Moguel is working with me on. I was gifted with the opportunity to see you teach in Florida. You are a gift to the world of eventing. Thank you!!
Such fantastic advice and everything that my trainer is teaching me. My current horse is eventing barefoot. He has brilliant feet but is worried by hot shoeing and my farrier won't shoe him behind unless he can hot shoe him to ensure the feet are balanced properly - and then he kept pulling his front shoes off. He's been eventing at BE90 barefoot and interestingly, this year we have gone further afield. One event, he completely threw the towel in at fence 5 which was a fence he would never normally stop at - we got over that and the same happened at the next and I retired him. Walking the course, I didn't like the ground at all and I'm kicking myself for having gone out the start box - but I truly believe dear ole Baz looked after us both that day. He knew he didn't have good purchase on the ground. I shall take ELBOW away with me. Thank you Lucinda - and I am old enough to have watched you in the 70/80s and you are an inspiration, so thank you.
I saw the 72 Badminton. I flew to see relatives down the road from there. I might have not seen events lately.....but i remember the mud on course &to see the horses come to the Normandy Bank. They dont have fences like that today i believe. There was no room for fear...but all about Guts&Glory.
I was a high school high jump champion and I never remember counting strides. It was more about getting up the right amount of umph and instinctively adjusting foot steps before take off.
Just Brilliant, such wisdom, given so generously, everything Lucinda says is always so profound. Lucinda is such an example of a true thinking horsewoman, on a true mission, the best teacher and trainer and cross country guru, her message is so strong, not only for riders but for Humans facing life's dramas and obstacles and connecting to their higher self, riding their own vessel Horse correctly ELB/OW, Engine Line balance is my daily mantra, ever since i first heard Lucinda say it..
That story about the TB with the foot trouble was fascinating. I'd love to know the bloodlines involved since it very closely described one of mine. Even more fascinating was the observation regarding fence construction methods and when rotational fall numbers leapt upward. Thank you so much!
36mins The great Karen Dixon had me do this with my ex race horse to get him to cope with courses. Lots of little fences and leave him to it to learn to organise himself and adjust to the problems on his own.
I really enjoy your wisdom! But I was there in the 80's watching a fall at Badminton at watched the rider strike her horse with her whip calling it all the names under the sun!!! Thank god that can never happen again!!!
What a relief to hear this! I'm not at the level of "seeing a stride" yet but worried about it, would I ever be able to do that? In the meantime, in my classes, when I approach a cross country jump, if I look beyond and put my legs on everything seems to come right. Maybe ELBOW is most of what I need right now. I still have a lot to learn and I took lots of notes during this so thank you!
Hi Susan, thank you for taking the time to leave a message. Looking beyond the fence and putting your leg on works extremely well and comes straight from the Chris Bartle school of thought. We never stop learning and the best time for that is when things go wrong. Best of luck. xLucinda
I don't even have a horse anymore, but I love listening to Lucinda's wisdom!! So pleased her words are here for us all to learn from.
I could listen to Lucinda’s words of wisdom all day.

i could listen to you forever!
I wonder if you ever come to Florida? I would love to watch a clinic from you.

Are leads that important in XC?
I promise that I didn't grow bored.
