Don’t beat your self up Lucy sometimes things don’t go to plan but don’t worry because at least you and Lara are home safe and you didn’t get eliminated you just had a off day xx
It's all a part of showing horses. Worry not. Maybe abit disappointing but going onward......💖🐎😎
The other Lucy seems like an absolutely wonderful human being. :)
Some days are just not meant to be, you rode well in the dressage and managed to contain her during a difficult test.
You and Lara will have better days. Dont beat yourself up xxx
Your vlogs are great fun Lucy, whatever the result. Don't be too despondent, we are all willing you on!
Never mind Lucy we all have good and bad days horses get tired same as us Laragh is very good most of the time she’ll be fine next time chin up.tfs😎
Well done lucy ! I love how u share the positive and the bad ! Xx
Love how real you are and share the downs too. Ps Lara is so alike my boy, every time you comment on flat/dressage particularly the tense and forward ness I’m like SAME!
particularly really helpful when watching H&C - back to basics, as she’s just like Dylan😅
Your content is fab! always a giggle!! Don’t worry about the the off days at competition that’s horses and true to life, especially in the 3 phases that eventing encompasses. Equally we know she’s so buzzing to be at a party she struggles to contain herself what is not to love about her she is full of character and never predictable😘 chin up and on to the next one xxx
Many condolences on the sj. ☹️ It happens. It must be really hard not to take the feelings from the dressage forward into the sj section.
Its so so frustrating when things go well at home and then completely the opposite at the event.
Why did you decide not to do the xc just for fun afterwards?
Looked like a nice course, albeit big and soft ground.
You are still super positive, I love your attitude!! Your channel has definitely really helped me feel way more normal, as ive got a really tense horse/rocket too and things dont always* go to plan for us too (*often 😂)
Take the positives, LOOK HOW SHE LOADED ON THE WAY HOME 😂❤
Thanks for showing the honest picture, as that is definitely the way with horses! Great to take the positives and reflect on the learning points :-) my quote for the day today was 'you always have to pass failure on the way to success' which I feel could apply here! Onwards to the next one :D x
Don't worry about what has been. Thats horses for you. Xx
Yes a Bonnie pony party and Laragh show was just a learning experience
I swear by egg whites for plaiting grip then it dries clear like natural hair gel!
Horses are here to test us and are great levellers, don’t beat yourself up about it too much as it happens to us all. I’m sure your next event will be a lot more successful with the lovely Laragh
Ahhh don't be so hard on yourself. Love your vlogs showing real horse life with all the ups and downs 🍀💚🍀
Loved the honesty of this vlog keep smiling 😃
Just relax and go with the flow. Beautiful horse.
Sometimes it's just not a good day unfortunately. I'm blaming my last 2 rides, which were horrible, (we were at home in our indoor arena, so no good excuses there) on the fact that it's finally Spring in Canada and my boy is FIRED UP! It snowed last week but this week the grass is growing and all 8 horses in the pasture are super excited! He has decided that all I do is try to slow him down so he's totally stopped listening to me 😕 so I booked my trainer to have a go on him and get his brain working again 😄
My point is though, that we all have our bad times and our good times so this was a learning experience. I hope next time is a bit more rewarding but don't let it get you down ❤❤
you in Calgary?
@@CdnEqChick no, Nova Scotia. We had freezing rain which changed to straight up snow last week. Poor herd was huddled together at the hay box.
@@samanthajeanette9646 lol we had the EXACT same weather last weekend and everyone was looking miserable. Canadian spring is anything but predictable!
Try not to feel too disheartened about it all. you rode so well in the dressage, I know how hard it is to ride a speedy, keen pony in the dressage so you did great. It might not have been your day but you're both going to come back so much stronger!x
dont get your self down you did incredible lucy there is no chance I could do that xx!😘
Awww, well done Lucy anyway! You did good to tuck up and take her home, save her for another day. Some times they’re just not feeling it. I always think it’s the wisest thing to respect that. Hat off to you 👍x
It's a fun day out with a friend, good learning experience, chips and "well tried" - what's not to love ? 🤷🏼 Xx
I LOVE the helmet you wear for dressage, the colour is sooo pretty!
Love you having Lucy with you, made it sound like you were talking in the 3rd per😂😂son
Good on you for posting the bad days along with the good & keeping it real. I know how it feels I had a PB dressage 78% (unheard of for me) then fell off in the SJ when my boy shied at a shadow 😂There will always be another day, well done you
Another fabulous video 🐾🐴🇬🇧🤠😁😍
I think you rode really well :D Some days are going to be better than others, but there's always positives :} Always love your vlogs!
Well ridden in your dressage test ❤️ It looked super windy as well and you rode her through it really well ❤️
I'm sorry that you were so disappointed in your day. My trainer has a saying of "sometimes you get the chicken and sometimes you get the feathers." This was a feathers kind of day for you, but I think you made the right decision to not go cross country and save Laragh's jumps for another day. Keep your head up and keep pushing on! We all have days like this.
I wish I could warm up for the dressage calmly like that, as my horse is so tense and fresh in the dressage warm up 😂
Great job Lucy!!! Love your videos. Keep your chin up girl, you'll have better days.
Well Done Lucy, it's not easy making that decision not to run xc! Mine also hated the judges boxes and was so tense. 🙄❤️
Cant wait to watch
Thanks for keeping it real, appreciate you showing that not every day is a great day x well done on another great vlog
Awww great vlog Lucy, I just love your down to earth and honest attitude. Many people wouldn't even show the vlog if they had a bad day.❤
Don't be so hard on yourself hun, every horse and their rider has off days. You did so well to hold her together like you did in the dressage and at least you completed the sj round instead of retiring, which was great hun.
So chin up Luce, you did great, and her ladyship was just having an off day with her concentration.
Take care hun and hope you have a good week 😘
In my day showing dressage 37.5/62.5 was a decent, even good test. You did ride it well💓
Enjoyed the footage. You did well and everyone has some better days than others. Keysoe is a fabulous venue and I used to ride near by and would often pop in to see what events were on.
Lovely to see you, even if it wasn’t the best day for either of us! Highs and lows of horses🤣🤷🏼♀️ forever keeping it real✨
You do such a great job every day. You work hard to get your horse prepared and fit. We all have bad days and you are allowed to feel crappy. A couple thoughts, dont practice your test at home, practice the movements but not all together, shes smart and when she gets in the ring is anticipating everything. Also have you considered a different bit or bridle for both dressage and jumping. Shes in a plain sniffle to jump and just get flat and takes you for a ride. My horse hates a leverage bit, but I switched to a kineton nosevand for cross country and it made a world of difference on a horse that pulls. Or try a Waterford. There is lots of options without getting harsh equipment. Would you ever consider a calming suppliment like calming cookies, or raspberry leaves,etc to help her settle. I just know how frustrating it can be to put the work in and have it fail when it counts.
I sooooo wish I could plait like that!!! I need to practice:) Way to ride that dressage test, she was so tense and you did great!
The Keysoe Cafe menu looks epic!!!
Well done for giving it a go and knowing when to withdraw, you’re both fantastic!
I feel for you with the dressage & can totally relate as I have exactly the same issue at competitions vs home. She did look lovely though! x
I think that was a difficult test anyway without adding in the challenge of a fresh, excitable horse in! I disagree with you though, there were some positive bits and bits to like and you rode the best test you could have on the horse you had on the day. She’s just such a keen bean! At least you know she’s always had a great day out 🤣 better luck next time. I think you made the right decision. X
Laragh loaded in the trailer too easily. She has better days if she starts off pranking you before leaving home. ;)
My former trainer used beer to wet the mane and tail before braiding. Helped it stick. I can't imagine the smell when the horse gets hot.
I really enjoy the not quite so perfect days
Aww well done Lucy - you managed her really well in the dressage. Horses eh 🤷🏽♀️ xx
Keysoe not far me😁 sorry it wasn't a good day for you but hope the next event is better for you🐴
You are always entertaining 😊
Great video as usual. Just an observation...you seem very tense whilst riding the dressage. Try relaxing your shoulders and elbows/arms. Obviously I don’t know what Lara is like to ride. Have faith in her ability ☺️
BTW Laragh is gorgeous.
Thank you lucy 2 ah
Just keep practising your show jumping, slowing down may help a little....😂. Great to share everything you do because its normal life with horses, ups and downs. Well done anyway.
Aww, sending you big hugs - I really appreciate you sharing your disappointment; most of my lessons on my horse alternate between being completely delighted with our progress one lesson and frustrated/annoyed/cross with myself the next when we have problems and seem to go backwards. It's so easy to think "this only happens to me," if people don't show the difficult days like you were brave enough to do. I thought you handled her tension very well, you always seem to look so balanced and elegant, even at her spooks on the way to and from the ring! Enjoy a well deserved bath and rest, I will look forward to your next vlog.
Good video Lucy
Lucy 2 number roast 😂😂
How tall is laragh Lucy
Never mind, you tried really hard. 👍
That girl that fell off in the background! 😱
Firssttt already liked cause I know it will be amazing ❤️💗
Early !
It was a nice try. Everyone has had shows. Keep trying!
Why not do the cross country you have nothing to loose and it’s the most fun discipline Lara is fit and well and you paid to be there so just go out and enjoy the cross country I would 🤷♀️
Because she's preserving her horses legs. I have great respect for those who put their horses before themselves and if you are struggling in the control you absolutely shouldn't go XC. That's asking for trouble
But she also has nothing to gain, so why risk her horse legs, when she is already having an off day, then the best thing is to call it a day and not risk going out on a 100 course and risk a fall or something.
@@NoThankUBeQuiet We have a rule here where im from that if you have I believe 4 or more poles down in SJ, then you arent allowed out for XC. It might just be a rule in the smaller classes, like 80s and 90s, but I still think its a good rule, because its mostly happy amateurs' and new in the game people who do 80s and 90s and they want to make sure that they have control over the horse to go xc.
What would be the point? It’s not like Lara needs the experience? That xc was bloody big and bold for a 100 and you could see Lucy came out of the sj with not a lot of confidence so why would she risk hurting herself and her horse just for your entertainment? Good decision, there is always another event.
@@NoThankUBeQuiet I would like to try a running martingale on Lara for jumping, always helped with my horse. Also, maybe more warming up with transitions before the dressage, always settled my horse down ready to do a nice test. Just some thoughts x
I'm first! wow never been first!
