    Such growth-Tina, you have never ridden better. Lucinda breaks things down and makes them simple to remember, But still hard to do all at once, and you did it! I am so impressed.
    Bottom line, she makes it obvious why you need to be disciplined and why it’s beneficial to perform a certain way EVERY time.
    Charlotte DuJardin said exactly the same thing using exactly the same words at a clinic in the States a few years ago. She coached a student to get a square quiet halt, repeating it about 10 times until it was correct rather than just “close enough.” Then she let the pair of them quit, which was their reward. The last memory the horse had was of doing it correctly.
    Lucinda and Charlotte are on the same page, which explains their success. Riding is mental as much as it is physical.
    This is your best series ever, and that is saying something because you’ve had some darn good ones before. I’m in awe of how you push yourself. Bravo!

    Lucinda is amazing. You are so fortunate to have her. She is just what you have been needing at this point in your riding. She has you riding every stride instead of going out for ride with a few jumps thrown in. You are working hard and progressing so much! You are more confident in riding than ever. Love the take charge, be strong but still ride soft effect Lucinda has you doing!!! And it works for Banksy too!!!! Well done.

    Tina you did so well! You're so quick to praise Banksy but you need to be quick to give yourself a pat on the back too. That seemed like a lot of hard work and really intense; Lucinda is very blunt (but excellent!) I think I'd probably have a little cry 🤣 You should be really proud of what a good team you and Banksy are even with that little blip over the saddle. Loving these training vlogs. Xx

    Once again you are far too hard on yourself! You had a problem, you worked through it, you made the adjustments and you got some lovely pole work. Cam will be so proud of you! Yes Lucinda can be very daunting but she was also very encouraging to you. She recognizes when you're getting a little overwhelmed and got much softer with you. She's never mean ,she just wants you to do so well that she gives you so much to think about at the same time.

    Superbe.. Love that Meg took you to Lucinda too.. it's not always about being positive, it's about that middle ground between negative and positive .. it's the discipline of being a master of negative that allows the positive through.. the depth of your focus is your negative magnetic inner visibility then Banksy will be able to be electric positive, balanced and in front of your aids.. brilliant how you kept mind over matter and rose to the occasion.. bravo great preparation for You both 💜

    Well done you two!
    Also don’t know if this is helpful at all but I’ve found that with older horses (in particular if they’ve often been in strong and full work often and have the muscle memory) they seem to change shape a lot more - younger ones seem to muscle up and stay strong but I’ve found with my mare she also loses muscle very fast if she has time off.
    She’s very sensitive and will let me know if things don’t fit spot on, and I’ve ended up just getting a bunch of pads/shims and adjusting what I’m using as I go. When she’s had a week off I pad her out, and when she starts to throw herself around and be strong (which I’ve realised is because she’s bulked out through her shoulders which impacts her range of movement and must feel tight) I remove layers. Getting the saddle fitted when she’s got as much top line as can be, and then packing it down to fill gaps when things aren’t sitting the same.
    Kind of surprised me working all that out as I’d primarily ridden youngsters and green horses who were built from the ground up so I’d not considered it until having mine and running into the problem.
    Just my experience, you have a awesome group of people around with lots of knowledge and you know your boy the best, so hope it’s ok that I’ve commented with this!

    only just had the time to start watching this video! its so interesting to see how lucinda teaches and how much she breaks things down. even though you had a little hiccup with a cheeky banksy at the start of the polework session you managed to find the “issue” and solve it! its funny how we all (riders and horses) get so set in our ways and comfort zones. you should be so proud of yourself tina, your confidence has come on so much and im proud of your progress❤ you ride so well and you’re such a patient and kind rider- always praising for even what some people would say are small things. we definitely need more riders like you in the equestrian community!! love watching your progress through the lucinda bootcamp. thank you for being so real with us and not being afraid to show how you’re really feeling! despite all the issues you’ve had with footage and editing thank you so much for posting still. keep your chin up tina! can’t wait to see you guys at badminton - no matter if you place or not we’re all beyond proud of you and you should feel the same!❤

    Banksy is a bit like taking a five year old on vacation. First there is a long boring car ride and you can’t see out the windows. Then a bit of exercise and tucked up in a strange bed. Then mummy doesn’t bring me breakfast with cuddles, some stranger I’ve never seen plunks down my brekky. Mummy finally shows up and puts my stiff new vacation clothes (new saddle) on me and I get all wiggly cuz they are itchy and stiff. I think we are going to Disney (jumping xc) and she takes me to school! Boring school in a strange place with the teacher fussing at me and my clothes aren’t comfy. Mummy isn’t happy, so I’m going to have a hissy fit! Poor Banksy. And poor Tina, feeling like the mum in the checkout line who’s toddler is having a meltdown.

    Tina your looking at this all wrong, you have the chance of a life time in front of you, your pro is teaching you to be a better, skilled rider allowing Sir Bansky to gain his full potential, that he has been allowed to hide all this time. He picks up so easily what it is your asking of him every time you ask the way she has you ask it of him, leads me to believe he's been taught this before. Enjoy your time with this lady, learn all you can while you've got the chance., she seems very wise.

    In a clinic a couple years ago with the late, great Jimmy Wofford, he had all of us (and all of the levels above and below us) count our strides out loud, including our landing. It's really cool to see that Lucinda is using some of those same strategies, and has the same ideology, as the rest of the eventing superstar instructors around the world. She is brilliant and I picked up on a lot.
    For instance, I've been retraining an OTTB mare. Still early stages but I realized that I wasn't keeping her neck straight in the canter transition, because of what LF said to you, so I'm going to try to keep her voice in my head while I'm schooling transitions. I appreciate her blunt talk. Though it did feel a little harsh at first, I think it's just a matter of understanding what she's saying. And she's so open to answering questions. Fabulous instruction.
    You should be so proud of how fit and and game Banks is. You've done such a great job getting the both of you to this point. Make sure you look back to remind yourself of your achievements, and give yourself a pat on the back. Looking forward to the next one!

    Back when i was a kid, i made a transition game for when i was hacking so i choose different things on the way (tree/trashcan/mailbox whatever really) and made some sort of transition or a halt, then counted all the successful ones so i had a score when i got home 😂 i had alot of fun with it maybe it will inspire others to do something similar from time to time 🥰

    Ive been watching your vlogs for years Tina and Ive never left a comment, mainly because I would never want anything ive said to be misconstrued. So here's the scoop from an old (literally) Aussie rider: Cameron is a much softer instructor than Lucinda, who doesn't tolerate any BS, so it was a adjustment for both you and Banksy. For a minute I could'nt watch as I could see it was upsetting you both, but you know what, you are a good rider and Banksy is a bloody good horse BUT, one thing both Cameron and Lucinda agree on is your concentration. I've never been to Badminton but after watching Meg these last few years it looks bloody 'FULL ON', so please please work on your concentration and I will be supporting you from my armchair(ha! ha!) over here in Australia. Much love 🥕for Banks 🍷for you xx.

    I'd rather have a horse tell me something is wrong than be stoic and break itself down trying to mask it. Listen to your horse, sit up and be proud of yourself, open those hips up girl and....get out of your head. It's nothing personal with Lucinda, every horse needs to travel the way Lucinda was working with you to get to. Every horse you ride should travel that way and it's your job to demand it😊. Be demanding with your horse, he is an athlete and so are you. Perfection equals podium ❤

  • @angemoorhead5496
    @angemoorhead5496 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    there are 2 types of instructor those that teach and those that enhance - Lucinda doesn’t need to teach you she wants to IMPROVE you - you just need to listen focus and DO. She’s not going to tell you what you want to hear she’s going to be brutal and that’s how you improve and get better

      Yes you definitely rose when you concentrated on the task, it all came together and looked great, the trick is learning how to keep the focus for the duration, it is hard work. Good luck in your future training and we’ve all had a blubber at one point or another 😉

  • @juliecarmody6773
    @juliecarmody6773 ปีที่แล้ว

    Tina don’t be too hard on yourself, none of our horses were easy rides , we retrained our own race horses & my absolute favourite was my boy Willy - racing stable nickname The Juvenile Delinquent ( very apt) & he was full of mischief & the zest of life - the reason I loved him so much .He was a champion & everyone loved him they all thought butter wouldn’t melt in his mouth he was incredibly athletic & they all wanted to have a ride on him . He & I were a real team & we just got better & better as time went by as you & Bansky are & will . Willy was fiercely brave & highly competitive with a huge heart as a racehorse he was what we call an adrenaline horse who won many many championship races . At only 15.3 hh when he hit open classes of races at 5 yrs of age I retired him from racing as the horses he was competing against were all well over 16hh & there strides were much bigger than his & I didn’t want to break his spirit . That spirit carried over into our horsey world of Dressage Showjumping & Eventing with never a dull moment & I wouldn’t have had it any other way - it’s what I loved & sometimes curdlsed about him . I see that special quality in Bansky learn to laugh at his antics & you’ll find the will disappear 🫠 ❤️

    Hi Tina
    You did really well, shame banksy had a bit of a wobble, but there horses and unfortunately it happens usually when we don’t want it too. I hope you don’t mind me saying but I think that Lucinda was quite strict and very stuck in her ways with you, some trainers are more difficult to work with than others , and for you I think maybe she’s too harsh for your delicate nature, your such a warm nature Tina and things upset you easily, try not to take it to heart we all have our bad days. I too lack confidence in my riding and sometimes wonder why I’m doing it, but learn what you can while your there but I’d stick with Cameron he’s the best teacher for you and banksy loves him too. X

  • @theresahall2082
    @theresahall2082 ปีที่แล้ว

    Awesome job. It really did look like Banks was trying to bolt in the beginning and if I remember right, I've seen him do that before. I found out the hard way that if my horse was so "fresh" on a cool day after not being worked much for a couple of months, he had a tendency to not want to listen and try to bolt or buck. So, began lunging him for a bit (both with a lunge line and just free lunge in a round pen) just to get the "freshness" out of him and then he would behave like a champ. Don't ever feel bad about the tears of frustration, we've all had them. Plus, I think Banksy got all worked up because he saw the jumps and we all know he loves to jump but he also needs to listen to you. You managed to get through it and were absolutely amazing
