  • Thanks for tuning in, apologies for being MIA these past few weeks. Ember is very happy, I've ridden him out a couple of times successfully so hopefully we'll be back on track soon. I also hope I'll be back to competing soon, as before we know it the eventing season will be over again...
    I really appreciate your support, I'm sorry this hasn't been a very upbeat vlog, I promise the excitement will return soon enough

    Oh Lucy, it's called life - you will get your mojo back - no shoulds, oughts, or musts. Perfectly normal in my opinion and Ember has taken a lot of work and patience bless him. Bit of time off might have done you both more good than you think and Ember doesn't look too unhappy about it to me. Look after yourself, sending love and best wishes. Ember has more beauty products than me! 😊 The poppies were stunning.

    Having fun is really important. It's also fun to watch people have fun. If you don't feel like competing but still like the idea of vlogging, then I would very happily watch tack up and ride with me, fun rides with friends, chatty videos while you hang out with your horses, maybe while grooming (for example) and stuff like that. If you don't feel like vlogging, that's cool too. Although I don't know you, I appreciate you and sometimes a person needs to chill.

    We’ve all been there with the loss of desire. It’s like getting back into working out after a vacation full of fancy drinks and yummy snacks! 😂 When you find a fun lesson or event or something with a bunch of friends and horses, it will help. Maybe fancy drinks and yummy snacks on horseback?? 😊 And no, in the US we don’t have that sign. Your signs are definitely interesting. When I vacationed in the UK I had a book to help us drive!

    I got a new saddle and was told to get a non elastic girth. I’ve been using a Lemieux long girth with fluff on it. I bought a shires one with no elastic and went for a ride in it! She went absolutely awful. Next day I put her back in the fluffy elastic one and she was “back to normal” 🤣

    Don't underestimate how debilitating a trapped nerve is. It's days of not properly sleeping, of not moving properly. I suffer a lot from neck pain and muscle spasms, and after a bad day, i can feel exhausted and run down for a few weeks afterwards. Once you've caught up your sleep debt, you will start to feel a bit better and the spark will come back...

    We have the Open Road sign in New Zealand. It means you can go to the Speed limit, which is 100km an hour( 60 miles an hour.). The poppies are gorgeous. Was the yellow, Evening Primrose? We have the same wild flowers, all came in seed shipments in the 1800's from England. And Gorse with the Scots, which in our climate is a terrible curse, but smells heavenly in the hot summers.
    We all lose our mojo at times, but maybe you just need a little break away. That saddle pad is really good. I prefer saddle shaped pads. Ember has a luverly bum!

    Have no idea about the weird sign. If it was temporary, I would guess it was for a funeral. If it was red, maybe don't go this way? A slump mid way through a season of anything is normal. You start to wonder if the time and money are paying off in whatever way you imagined it would at the start. I think a lovely massage for you would be beneficial. Maybe someone to ride with to make it more social. Bonnie isn't in the mood to be a model today is she? The poppies are such a visual treat, thanks for sharing. Have a lovely vacay, i hope it chases the blues away.

    If I had to guess, it could be the meds you took for your pinched nerve. Sometimes they can make you feel down in the dumps. I know if I take too much Ibeuprofan I will feel that way. Getting back out on your horse will make you feel so much better, good old Vitamin D. As far as the signs you pointed out, I live in the US and have never seen a sign like that. Also, the poppy fields are beautiful. Thanks for sharing that. I have never seen anything like that before (well except in the Wizzard of OZ) We do have some sunflower fields here.

    So sorry to hear you're in the doldrums Lucy. Having pain from the trapped nerve doesn't help - I've been there done that with the nerve in the back of my neck/shoulder and nerve pain really is one of the worst. Can't sleep, can't get comfortable etc. My recommendation if it happens again, is to find a good chiropractor. It happens to me periodically and I go to my chiro who seems to be the only person who can put it right. Takes him a couple of sessions and I feel better. It might be that to get your mojo back you might need to make a supreme effort and enter an event. Perhaps once you are there, with the atmosphere and everything, it might do the trick. Or even simply go along with Justine for the ride and being a groom. I can understand that if you have other things weighing heavily on you, then maybe you've got no energy left for that. If you're worried about your health, I hope that you get some answers soon, and plenty of support at the moment from Rob, who seems like a real keeper!!! Ember looks fine, and you've worked very hard with him. He's not the easiest horse, is he? Take care of yourself, have a lovely break in Italy and I hope that when we hear from you again you are feeling better. Sending love and light to you ❤❤❤

    I’m so getting this loss of mojo feel. My horse turned out lame in the start of March, not swollen or hot. So we figured out it was probably a sole bruise as he has sensitive hooves (warmblood x tb). Thought he was getting better, but turned out lame again. Got the vet and got his hooves x-rayed. Couldn’t find anything, but the vet was certain it was in the hoof and said we had to wait. Just got shoes on him about 2 weeks ago and started walking and getting him back to work. Then he pulled a shoe and we’re waiting for the farrier. I have thought more than once this year: Why do I bother 😅
    Also the Eric Le Tixerant girth is amazing for girth sensitive horses. My horse is more comfortable in that than the Stubben one. If you’re looking for options 😊

      Second that girth it’s fantastic. For my TB the professionals choice VenTech girth was the ticket. Never had any rubs and it’s nice and wide so no pressure points. We use them on all the baby horses now also and we’ve never had one with girth galls since!

    Unfortunately life can be crap and testing its a horrible feeling especially when you just dont know what to do and you try and function doing everyday things when you have other stuff on your mind. One thing for sure though is that you never ever have to apologise for being down or not yourself. Just think about yourself and be well.x

    Burnout is real. It's okay to take time off. You don't HAVE to compete. It's okay to just hack around and enjoy your horses! When you find yourself feeling that spark again, that's time enough to get back into it. And if that never happens, that's okay too.

Loved the vlog, so chill and the poppies were beautiful. You guys are so lucky to have so many miles (km lol!) of trails! And trail riding (hacking lol) is amazing for the soul.

    Did Ember just steal hay out of Bonnie's net? How rude! Lol
    Also, we don't have that sign in the US. From context, I'm guessing it's the end of some restriction like No Trucks. If it were a restriction, I'd hope it would be in red.
    Many years ago, while visiting some UK cousins, they actually asked why I didn't rent a car. I actually looked into it, but the only cars in my price range were standards. Like I told them... If I had to drive on the wrong side of the road _and_ shift with the wrong hand, I'd probably just put myself in a ditch.

    Oh Lucy, come on girl you need to get with people who make you laugh out loud. Your far too young to be so down too. I think you and Rob should go for a weekend of spa treatments that get rid of the doom n gloom. Ember is fine maybe he just prefers a normal girth who knows. He’s a beautiful horse I know he gives you hard times but he’ll calm down he’s very happy with you you can tell. Feel happy again soon let’s have an update on Laragh although seeing her she seems happy enough. Enjoy Italy 🇮🇹 most of all laugh out loud. Positive thoughts you’ve got this. Tfs🤗🏇🤗x

    Thoroughbreds are not like other horses, they are highly sensitive especially the skin, they feel everything so much more, because they are so thin skinned,, I only had thoroughbreds and they will over react, to the slightest change in feelings.. that girth must have felt weird to him, i can imagine.. You had a break all good you will build up again slowly, dont push yourself, just go with the flow its always UP and DOWN we are always striving for that MID/L Ground the Mid L Ton/E is important , not too big not too small nor too hot nor too cold, nor too high nor low, Temperance makes good Temperament keeps the four humours balanced.. Wow that Poppy field so beautiful, LOve
