Wow! Looked like a real light bulb moment for both of you! Throughout the video you can see him relax and his confidence seems to grow as he finds he has more time to think and see a fence rather than his rushing. Maybe a bit of a shock to him that he actually doesn’t know best🤣 Well done! You’re such a subtle yet effective rider 👏🏼👏🏼
It really was a lightbulb moment! I kind of knew the technique would work jumping as I’ve been trying it hacking when he gets keen and a bit whizzy, so just applied it in the arena and yayyy 👏🏻 thanks for watching 🙏
Totally agree. He was a bit upset about having to listen to you at first but then he kinda got it, and understood this might make things easier for him. Smarty boots! And so handsome. xx
You are doing such a great job with Ember, Lucy. He has so much to un-learn. It must be like driving a Formula One car around a city centre during rush hour. Justine is also fab to watch. Her horse is stunning. Very best wishes for all that comes next for you, Ember & Justine🤗
Nice riding, Lucy! I love the partnership of Ember and you; so exciting and so much potential and you are well on your way. Also love the footage of Justine jumping, which is pretty much always a master class.
@Footluce Eventing Justine is so good, but so are you, Lucy; showing us all the best way to ride a spicy chili pepper! Love how relaxed and positive you are.
Lovey clip Ember is coming on nicely Lucy. Your becoming an even better rider too tbs can be challenging but with your hands low he’s starting to listen great job and Justin and Brody flew round the jumps great to watch and the girls grey is beautiful lovely mover.tfs😎🏇😎
Good lord, Ember is hard work isn't he? No wonder you were all hot and sweaty! One can see he's improving but the speed he rushes at fences would terrify me! Let's hope after a bit more practice, your new method is going to work well.
So glad to see your progress! He reminds me so much of my daughters horse who rushes in the same way because she’s a keen bean … you ride him so beautifully and ‘get him’ love seeing the partnership you have ❤
And my instructor no longer allows me to ask for long ones I’ve always got to pop a little one in if we’re not quite right as then she doesn’t get sassy having taken a flyer making between fences a battle! I’ve always had dirty stoppers and this mare is my first forward thinking one so my natural instinct is to flap and ask for whatever stride I get
What a difference he learned so quickly and you weren't gobbing him, keep up the learning process and he will be more amazing. Justine is like I used to be, if necessary squeeze on a long one and go for it, you need to know your horses though lol 😂xx
This was a very fun vlog 😁 I 💯% believe in Ember's abilities, except for listening 😜 but there were several picture perfect jumps in there that say he's learning that too!! Yaaay!! Lady and Billy Brody are beautiful and jump beautifully 🥰🥰🥰🥰 very nice Lucy ❤
My mare is similar but in long lines shes fine- its the shirt lines like bounces and 1 strides she sruggles with- but weve been doing similar with her to redirect her energy
I appreciate you so much Lucy and you’re hard work and making beautiful videos and absolutely most magnificent horse rider and blessing angel and doing amazing job and with Ember and so special xoxo 😚 💙🖤🩵💙🤍🤍🐴🩷🩶🩷🐴🐴💜💜💛🌷💖💕💕🌷💞💞🌺❤️❤️💓💓🌹❣️💕🌷🐴🩷🩷🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🩵🖤💙🖤🩵🩵🖤💙🤍🌈💛💛💜💜🩶🩷🩷💜💞💞💞🌹❤️❤️💚❣️💕🌷🌻💛💛🌻🌷🌷🌷
Lucy, you ride Ember so, so beautifully. I have a very similar ‘hot’ ex racer who I love dearly but pelts herself at fences like a bat out of hell 😂. I’m taking this ‘little tweak’ after the fence tip with me to our first ODE on Saturday! (We are showjumpers and team chasers! Never evented!) ❤❤
@@footluceeventingUnfortunately that's the answer of most equestrians who don't have good knowledge about horse behaviour or how they learn.. "Well he likes jumping since he's so keen", "He wouldn't jump if he didn't want to". The answer is, yes he would. If a horse stops and gets "punished" (Ie. kicked on, whipped, spurred) some will start rushing and seem like they are happy to jump. But really, they do not want and/or expect punishement. In other cases they may be other sources of stress other than punishement like; Hitting the fence, not feeling in balance, not feeling physically ready, feeling pressured, feeling pain. Because as soon they are over the jump it relieves some form of the pressure put on them by us riders. They just want to get it over with in other words. Now yes some horses will stop instead and may look like they "don't want to jump". But what would you do in that case? "punish". So really the horse is left with no other answer but to jump even if they don't want to or can't. Some horses may not mind jumping but that doesn't mean they enjoy it. They don't live their lives wanting to jump. They just want to "please us".
@footluceeventing I have no doubt she may be a very qualified trainer on purely a horse performance basis. But I was more so explaining from a behavioural aspect which you seem to have missed. Not about teaching your horse how to run in circles and jump over things. Clearly this horse is showing some sign of stress or avoidance when being asked to jump and rushing into it again, is quite far from the idea he is enjoying it or "keen". Most modern day "traditional" trainers have poor understanding of horse instinctual behaviour and learning quadrants. If you don't wish to have a bit of self-awareness in that sense you are just doing your horse a disfavour.
You two did a excellent job today Lucy and well done and so glad the rain stopped and sending positive energy for you and Ember xoxo 😚 🖤🤍🩵🐴🐴🖤🤍🩵🌺🌷🌷🌈🌷💚❣️❣️❣️💖🌈💖🩶🩶🌻🌻🌹🌹❤️💕💛💛💜💜🐴🩷🩷🩷🖤🐴🩷🩷🐴🤍🩵🌺🌷🌷🌈🌈🌈💖🌻🌻🌹🩶💕💛💞💜🖤🤍🩵🩵🩵🩵🤍🖤🖤💖💙💙💙🩶

This horse clearly isn’t comfortable the tail swishing,bolting,running before and after fences,the constant ‘playing with the bit’ ,all signs of an uncomfortable horse. i would love to know why you think he is keen rather than uncomfortable.These behaviour are common not normal they shouldn’t be downplayed as him being keen or exited.
I had a big strong jumper that did this, and a similar technique worked to get more respect! Ignore all the youtube trainers.
Great ride, Embers really coming along nicely. I love how calm and supportive Justine is! You both have a lot of fun together
Good work and that little tweak of hand position has started to work really well.
Lady is gorgeous 😍
Woah he looks very fit in this video! Sometimes even looks like a warmblood !

Brody Billy is a fabulous horse.
He’s stunning 😍
There's always a real warm atmosphere about your videos.. like you can't believe your good luck? It's very refreshing
Thank you for watching 🥰

Fabulous difference will definitely be trying this technique ❤
My tb mare is so similar! It’s such a mental battle to not lift your hands and that keeping them lower settles these head throwers! X
And my instructor no longer allows me to ask for long ones I’ve always got to pop a little one in if we’re not quite right as then she doesn’t get sassy having taken a flyer making between fences a battle!

Good training session. I love those moments when you figure out a training problem.
I'm really enjoying seeing Ember come along. He's so beautiful, and I expect he's going to be quite talented. 😊😊😊
I think he is too 🥹
Absolutely love seeing this improvement 🎉 a real little milestone! X
Early!! I love your videos Lucy! I can’t wait for this video 🎉
Very nice Lucy, He looks wonderful, well done.
yea really good well done ,hes looking more settled in himself, well done for keeping going with him.
thankyou for the vlogs there great.
Wow! What a difference! Great ride!
What a difference he learned so quickly and you weren't gobbing him, keep up the learning process and he will be more amazing. Justine is like I used to be, if necessary squeeze on a long one and go for it, you need to know your horses though lol 😂xx
This was amazing Lucy - the pressure/release approach worked brilliantly. Well done, so good to watch :)
Great session! I have an Ottb who loves to do this at shows she’s getting way better though!
Good job Lucy, that made a difference!
Well done! The difference from beginning to end was fantastic. And it stopped raining!!!
Thank goodness it stopped raining 😂 🌧️
You do amazingly well to stay so balanced on him! Lovely to see him coming along steady and enjoying it 😊
Thank you! We’re in no real rush, enjoying the process 👏🏻

Good session, amazing how well Ember went when you lowered your hands. Daft how the smallest thing makes such a huge difference! xx
I know it’s crazy!
@@footluceeventing horses, what are they like??!!! 🤣
My mare is similar but in long lines shes fine- its the shirt lines like bounces and 1 strides she sruggles with- but weve been doing similar with her to redirect her energy
Ember's such a beautiful horse I'm in luuuurve lol You ride him really well Lucy (he looks a bit of a handful) Great jumping Well done
He’s a lil bit of a handful but so worth it 😍
Next adventure !!!
I love ember...
And gosh does Justine's boy jump 😮

Best of luck - make sure you take the tweak straight after the fence not right in front of the next one - hope that makes sense x
@@justinewardeventing thank you Justine! I’m a big fan of your vlogs too, if only I was closer to travel to you for a lesson!
Ah thanks so much! Best of luck, sure you’ll smash it 👏🏻 💪🏻 🥰
Ember is awesome!!!
Will have to try this with my spicy mare😂😂
It works well for ember! Not so much with my mare though 😂
Rushing fences doesn't mean the horse is keen, it means they lack confidence and are overcompensating with speed.
This very much, rushing is an anxiety response. The horse is not comfortable doing what he is doing.
Trust me, if he didn’t want to be jumping, he wouldn’t. Did you guys even watch the video? 😂
@@footluceeventingUnfortunately that's the answer of most equestrians who don't have good knowledge about horse behaviour or how they learn.. "Well he likes jumping since he's so keen", "He wouldn't jump if he didn't want to".

They don't live their lives wanting to jump. They just want to "please us".
I’m going to trust my trainer on this one, Justine is most definitely considered a knowledgable equestrian 😂👏🏻

You're riding and rising like a ra e jokey.stirruos look too short and making u lean forward. Xxxxxxxxxx
Hmm may be he just doesn’t want to be a jumper ? This is obviously just based off of videos , no idea how he is in real life.
You,re alovelu rider but he is too small for you
No I just have long legs 🦵
Good progress
