__________________________
I am rolling at the "Sorry Ali" ...just loving how you are showing more and more of your humor and cheeky side. Such fun!
Lydia, I am 62 and have a riding lesson every week. It's the best day of the week for me and love it and the horses so much🐎🐎 xx
That "Sorry Ali" and the wink 🤣🤣
Everyone was a beginner at some point, keep going for what you love.
Good morning Lydia, I’m here in the US after a horrible horrible day in our country. Consuming some of the most dreadful news for hours and hours. I finally couldn’t take it anymore and needed a sense of calm. I wanted you to know that watching you has become a source of that for me. I save your Thursday post for my Sunday mornings and after yesterday needed the calm that I get from you more than ever. So while I watch you ,outside in the sun on this beautiful day I wanted to share my gratitude and say thank you. Thank you for for simply being you and sharing your life journey with us.❤️
I agree but honestly, it's not the first time we've seen this. Look on the bright side, Trump is ok , Biden is still in his diapers and. Alec Baldwin is a free man!!!!!
Omg Lydia 😂😂😂 I just choked on my cup of tea when you landed that one liner about the best ride of your life 😂😂😂 that was brilliant!!!
That Really Was A Good One Lydia "Best Ride" 😂😂
lol. Yes. Me too 😂
OMG I literally laughed out loud 😂. I love the Ali has a sense of humor that she can make a comment like that on the Internet, and he clearly is laughing about it too
Came here to say the same thing! 🤣🤣
I choked on my soup 😂😂
Definitely have some lessons, they are so beneficial! You are by no means a bad rider, you seem to have a decent seat and nice quiet hands and even the top riders still take lessons…. You will never stop learning with horses x
I appreciate that! 🤍
I ABSOLUTELY love the floors!! Are they real brick and are the floors flush flat or do they have a cobblestone feel to them? If we had flooring like that in Canada, it would literally cost you your first born.
Lydia you have inspired me to get back to riding. Sadly my horse passed away a few years back and I find it hard to get on another horse and ride again. I spent every free moment at the barn with my best friend. After watching you I remembered how much joy it brought me to ride and I going to get back to the barn and do what I loved so much. Thank you. I have been watching you for years and you are so inspiring. Ps. I loved Evergreen. I have it on an stand in my dressing room.
You look happier and healthier than ever and I love it! 🤍
Dear Lydia, it really makes my heart sing seeing you like this, exuding this energy, it really comes across the camera, and I feel it. My dream is to walk across those English fields in the near future because I haven’t been to England for 6 years now and I terribly miss the nature, the vast meadows and fields of wheat… I miss the feeling that English countryside gives me 🙏🏼
I have been loving your videos with such positivity, peace, and balance in your life. It’s been inspiring!
Your dad is so posh I absolutely love it 😂😍 “I was playing this maniacally at boarding school” hysterical 😂 I’m from Liverpool for context and this kind of chat is goals for my future children. Brilliant.
😂😂😂
Thank you Mrs Millen Gordon for this very relaxing and charming video. You look regal on your horse and very happy too. The country life agrees with you for sure. 💕💕💕
just sat down for breakfast and this came up on my feed. you know its going to be a great day when that happens. ! Love your wellness era. Please keep giving us more ideas and inspo!
"Embarrassment is the cost of entry.
If you aren't willing to look like a foolish beginner, you'll never become a graceful master."
I have to work at remembering this every day- I too want to excel from the onset and hardly anyone does.
So keep it up girl!
I know a few people who have taken riding up in later life and now ride competitively at quite a high level. I have 3 of my own, I’m 60 and have had horses all my life but I’m still learning every day 😊
Would love to start riding! I hear it can be very therapeutic and help with stress ❤
@@pilar689 it’s amazing. There’s nothing like the touch and smell of a horse. No wonder animals are used so much in therapy. I’ve got dogs, cats, horses, fish and a friendly garden hedgehog 😂
Hi Lydia. Your eye lash feeling soar could potentially could be due to lash growth serum. I know many people who after long term use have similar problems, and stop using it. I know you mentioned previously you have or do used eye lash growth serum. Eye area is the most sensitive area. So worth you looking into that. X
Try a hypochlorous acid spray. Recommended by optometrists
I took reformer classes, private instruction, for a year. I agree with you on individual vs group lessons. Private instruction was a game changer. Continued success!
Looking forward to seeing the finished gym. Wondering how it will work with weights etc on a brick floor as they are likely to chip/break and I’m sure you will do something way nicer than gym mats/rubber floor mats on top. Excited to see the transformation!
It's so nice to see you continue to evolve into a wonderful personal peace and space. You've done the work and now you're enjoying the fruits of your labor. Well done you, Lydia dear. I'm inspired!
I love your content anyway but I am SO here for all the riding content and to see your journey🙌 you actually looked much more relaxed sitting trot so keep it up you’re doing so well🫶
I've been riding my whole life, and really the critiques never go away. Doesn't matter your skill or level, you could be going to the Olympics and other riders will critique you. In theory, we all know what we SHOULD look like, but actually doing it is much harder, there's so many variables that go into riding. I hope anyone who wants to critique you realizes that you are obviously working with a professional instructor, and don't need additionally advice on riding. And don't self conscious about not being an expert, seeing your take on learning and being with the horses is lovely and really fun!
Please enjoy your journey and I hope we'll be seeing a lot of horse centered content!
Definitely keep up the riding regularly, you'll improve so much by doing that. Riding without styrups gives you a feel for the horse and is really important to improve your skills. You should try riding horse back without a saddle. One of my favourite memories is spending my younger years at the stables all weekend long. Loved it.
Ich habe mich bei Clare angemeldet und bin absolut begeistert, noch habe ich keinen Reformer, aber es ist wirklich empfehlenswert es online mitzumachen. Vielen lieben Dank für deinen Tipp 👍🏻
Take lessons, that's a great way to learn and improve. Enjoy!
I think it would be nice to have the office equipment in the middle of the room with a lounge area near the glass doors and a small sitting area near the interior door with maybe two chairs and an occasional table. The lounge area with all the light could also serve as a comfortable light filled area for employees to have brainstorming sessions.
Definitely switch the sofa seating area in the office so that it is nearest the doors and put the office space nearest the entrance.
As Winston Churchill said "there's nothing so good for the inside of A man than the outside of A horse".He was so right!
People who are good riders live, eat, and sleep horses! And yes, they are not a friendly lot😂 because they like the horses more than people!
I would love to learn how to ride. We’ve moved to a rural area with ample opportunity. It’s something I need to just do! It’s so good to see someone who chases after what they want. ❤
Omg the Ali joke and the wink....:)) so funny.
Are you not able to re use your lovely bookcases from the office?
Looking forward to seeing everything finished
Just a note for airing out flooded or damp walls. I have done renovation and resale of investment properties for years. Black mold is a huge problem here in the states,many trust me it is no joke. If you have had damp floors and walls p,ease don’t just use a dehumidifier. Go rent a professional water remediation fan or 2 or 3;; They are mammoth. Let these fans run 24 hours a day for a few weeks. Move them around. I know people who have become very ill from mold from damp areas that were not properly treated. Can’t wait to see what you do with the space
Your videos bring light on dull days. Very inspiring Lydia💚 Can't believe the changes that have been made in the renovations!
Minor eye inflammation can also be from demodex mites that love living in the follicles of your lashes! Tea tree oil along your lashes or the ivermectin creams help tremendously
If you ever travel to the Napa Valley let me know Lydia ☺️ I have a beautiful black Lusitano Dressage horse who I’d love to offer to teach you a riding lesson on ✨🦄 I know the chance of that happening is pretty low 😂 but I will say that the riding community is extraordinarily welcoming- I find that if you show interest in riding there are really so many who will come out of the woodwork to offer their horses to teach you to ride on ❤ our community is so small, that anytime someone new shows interest it’s just the best thing ever ☺️
That is a great and kind offer. I hope that she takes you up on it! ❤ Get those stirrups off her and she’ll be looking fabulous in a year!
So very lucky to have one of the best breeds on the planet! I love to watch them go through their gates, so beautiful!
I am visiting an old friend in American Canyon in the fall. Do you give private lessons?
It was such a joy to watch you with the horses. I so miss riding. I used to eat drinking and sleep horses when I was growing up and as a young woman, I’m much older now and it’s been basically decades since I’ve gotten on a horse. But it brought a smile to my face to watch you, enjoy every moment of it.
I love riding so much, and my lessons are the highlight of my week. I wish I were a better rider, however we are all doing the best we can. I compare myself with where I was last year, or 5 years ago, and know I have improved massively. They have been a game changer for me; I could not ride my mare without them. My coach, who is a Grand Prix rider, takes lessons from her coach. Lessons and feedback are crucial to improving. The horsey world can be critical, however there are a lot of horse people who are encouraging and supportive and loads of fun. Horses are so wonderful; I couldn’t imagine my life without them. I will be 70 soon, but I feel so much younger, and it is all because of horses, and especially Miss Reba, my chestnut mare.
Hi Lydia, love seeing your riding content. If you are looking into learning the more technical side of riding I would highly recommend the book 'Enlightened Equitation' by Heather Moffett. Great introduction into the more classical riding principles and a great overview of the different aids ect. Wishing you the very best with your riding journey, horses truly are the most magical animals 😊
Your intro inspired me enough to start my own second resolution of getting a personal trainer today. Set myself a 3 mth goal, of technical training and being bester version of myself for myself.
Since March onwards I have been walking and running a lot. I see the difference it made the way I look. I call my new legs as doll legs ❤
Hi Lydia Amazon have eyelid wipes they are for that type of problem: After washing your. Face before doing anything else you use these wipes run them down from brows and through eyelashes,they are great I had the same problem ❤️😻🐕
You just need lots of lessons with no stirrups on a well trained horse. Then your hacks will be pure relaxation. Keep at it, 2 times every week. 👏🏻👏🏻
Agreed - lessons will build on the fundamentals that will help you enjoy your pleasure rides more. Hoping this gets communicated as constructive- you seemed to sit back in the saddle, need to be more centered and then your legs will also be in a better position, keep it up! 👍
Thank you for sharing such an amazing message 🙏Indeed God’s blessings and manifestation over my family has come to pass. I am so grateful!❤️Awesome God ❤️my family are happy once again and can now afford anything for my family even with my Retirement.$67k weekly returns has been life changing, after so much struggles.
Hello, how do you achieve such weekly returns? As a single parent i haven’t been able to get my own house due to financial struggles, but my faith in God remains strong.
Maria Angelina Alexander I really appreciate her efforts and transparency.
I remember giving her my first savings $20000 and she opened a brokerage account for me it turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to me.
YES!!! That's exactly her name (Maria Angelina Alexander) so many people have recommended highly about her and am just starting with her from Brisbane Australia.
Wow...I know her too she is a licensed broker and a FINRA agent she is popular in
US and Canada she is really amazing woman with good skills and experience.
Book those lessons and get riding! You'll thank yourself later!!!
It was actually your channel that inspired to get back into riding after 15 years, one of the first vlogs of yours I watched you were out hacking and I thought to myself "you know what Ive been thinking of returning to riding for years" and so I did it - I booked my first ride.
Less than 18 months later after weekly lessons, and many good rides ans bad rides I BOUGHT MY FIRST HORSE Rufus (thank you husband).
This was my version of applying Evergreen thinking to my life. I've rearranged my work schedule, reduced my hours, done all the things to enjoy a sport I forgot I loved :)
Find a supportive equestrian network because they do exist and they are wonderful. I am not perfect, I am novice but I love it x
You'll learn that you lose a few hours when you are at the stables. You think you'll be there an hour and then 3 hours have gone by ! - Good for your mental health.
As much as i love and adore all your stunning dresses and chic looks, Lydia "lord of the manor" Millen always take the number 1 spot for me 😄 hope to see more of in the future!!
😂😂😂😂🤭🤭🤭
@@lydiamillen 😆 can’t help that I have personal preferences 😂 lovely Thursday evening to you all x
So glad for you that you have got back into something you clearly Love! Go you, Good Job xx
I also wanted to go riding regularly when I would be a ‚grown-up‘ with good income, but then came corona, then I had a baby and now I have a herniated disc in my lumbal region from carrying around my 2 year old day and night and i start to think, that I will never do it again. So, yes Lydia. Do it now!! Do everything because we never know what the future holds in store for us.
I rode regularly for 20+ years (my last horse passed away so I'm on a longer break)... it's always a learning experience and even top riders take lessons. Nice to see you enjoy riding!
Makes me miss riding! I remember when I was learning, the best piece of advice someone ever gave me was to point my toes to the sky. Doing this made my heels sink, my knees get into position, then naturally my back fell into place. It was crazy how just moving my toes made my whole body adjust to a better riding position. When I rode bareback, it made my body feel like I was sitting in an invisible saddle. Thanks for bringing us along! ❤
Chopped cushions are RIDICULOUS, and those rabbit like ears just look weird. But of course people should ALWAYS do what pleases them.
Love the way you live your life Lydia
Could your eye pain be from blepharitis?
I’m don’t participate in horse riding but I adore watching you shine and talk so passionately about your hobbies, you look so happy!
Love love the lipstick / lipgloss ??? Anyone know what shade and brand ????
Lydia I rarely comment although I thoroughly enjoy your videos, and have for many years. Today I was inspired by your riding. I too used to be a rider, took lessons and so enjoyed that time of my life. There is nothing better than time spent outdoors with a lovely horse beneath you, experiencing the terrain together. I quite enjoyed cross country courses through the woods, I found those fun and challenging! It’s you and the horse navigating together! Thank you for reminding me to get back up on the horse❤️🐴🐎
Lydia, it’s great seeing you ride in the last videos. I love horses & riding! And it’s nice seeing the renovation of your office and the plans you have in store. 😊❤️
I miss Ali’s channel! He’s so talented at filming! 😢
Hi Lydia! I enjoyed watching today's video, especially being able to come along for your riding lessons. You looked great! Horses are also one of my life-long passions. They are such beautiful animals! Yet, my work and life events have prevented me from riding for many years now, much to my regret. You have inspired me to think about getting back into riding now that I've retired from my career. Thank you! P.S. I just made a purchase of the beautiful pearl double earrings you shared and greatly appreciate the 15% off discount. Fabulous! Can't wait to receive them here in the USA! Take care! 🩷
I love that you not having your phone at bed during the week. I also do that. But I put it in a Time Lock Countdown Safe from Geniehand that I can set the time intervals that conrtol when the safe opens. It has changed my life, relationships and I am in such more calm and peaceful state. Love your videos and it's very encouraging as always.
Why don’t you get a interior designer to do a layout of the space Lydia. It’s a big space. Loving the horsey footage. They are incredible animals. X
She thinks she knows best that’s why
Good morning, I love Backgammon - the best ever. Greetings
Hi Lydia, Enjoy your ride. It is such a thrill when you can do it at your leisure and slowly establish a good connection between horse and rider. One of the best experiences of my life ❤
Hi! How do you get your collars to stand up straight like that? Do you use starch? It looks so polished!
Lydia your vlogs bring such sparks of joy. Pleased you enjoyed riding 😊
💚💚💚💚 not in SA but this is a great idea. Wish if a bank in Zimbabwe could perhaps come up with something like this
"The best ride of my life", sorry Ali! Classic, loved it!
i have obviously missed a lot. what happened in the lower level? Was there flooding?? I hope not! 😳
I do love watching horses in fields, sometimes getting to pet them but I tried riding when I was young and it was not for me 😮, I like to see others doing what I can’t 😅.
Great to see the joy it brings you as well.
Take care xx xxx
Hi Lydia may I please have the name to the colour of your nails and is it shellac? Gel? Thank you they are ever so lovely xx 💅🏽🩷
Lydia my daughters horse pasted away and 2 years on she only been able to get back into riding as of yet she hasn’t purchased another horse .. she took the lost so bad she left working at the riding school and she was a good teacher .A step at a time she been brave going back to the riding school only last month ..your personally shining through as always best ride of your life 😂 sorry Ail 😉🤣
Funny...I don't like chopped cushions either.
I think chopping pillows are more of a trend not a timeless look, didn't come across one chopped pillow in The Crown series.
@@aminamia4414 😂🤭
They're beautiful paintings. 🌱🤍
Thank you for sharing time with your dad. Miss mine so much.
Thats Lovely your Taking Up Riding again 😊 Nice to have a Hobbies ( s) you really like passionate about.
Such a lovely video 🫶🫶 have a Good weekend take Care 🥰
Your dad’s voice/ way of speaking reminded me of Alan Rickmans
Mabye you use a eyelash serum? I tried a serum without hormons but after 2 days my eye lid got so red and sore and hurted... maby it could be a serum
I'am curious why you didn't use the same stone in the kitchen for the downstairs to tie it all together? Are brick floor common in England?
Lydia, I really recommend you take up lessons with a real serious professional rider, who’ll teach you how to properly ride. It will be in the arena in the beginning, but it’ll help you get confident. Learning as you do, will teach you a lot of improper things, and learning right the first time is easier than unlearning bad things. Being surrounded by a professional will also help you feel safer, as you’ll learn how to properly do the things you want. Keep going with it!
I love seeing the clips of you with the horses 💗it inspires me to find a way to include them somewhere in my own life 🥰
Did you remove all your piercings?
The downstears is going to look so nice! Can´t wait to see it..
Where can we find Claire’s non-reformer classes? I am struggling to find her
I died laughing at the "sorry Ali" omg that was too good
Sorry Ally, had me crying😂😂
I’m loving your active lifestyle vlogs! Running, riding, Pilates are so much fun and I’m happy that you are living your best life. I think it’s an Aries thing 😉 fellow Aries here 😂
thank u Lydia, have a nice day xxx
How do you do that LM logo in the begging of the vlog?😍
Great vlog as always, and I LOVE all the horsey bits. More horsey sharing please 😁 I did lessons years ago in an arena which was fun. I did alot of riding as a kid, but got way out of practice. Im now 46 and would love to do it again, but unfortunately have a slipped/disc bulge so dont think I can ....... so I will live precariously through your love of riding😁
I love my reformer. I sometimes do two workouts a day 😂🙈
Such A Girl Crush!!..🥰
Thanks for being YOU!!..💝
Did you envisage doing as much remodelling work when you first moved in? For example the outside and the bathrooms or was it a case of finding more things to change/customise the longer you’ve lived there? ❤
Please do show more riding content when you're able to 😍🐎.
Fabulous vlog as always and that one liner had me in stitches!
Have a lovely weekend everyone!
Blepharitis is a common eyelash issue easily treated with OTC lash cleaner.
What are some good recommended lash cleaners ?
@@sm7657Ocusoft lid scrub
I had a similar problem with my eyes and it turned out to be the micellar water I was using! And loving that you are having riding lessons 👌🥰🙌
Lydia, I think you should hook up with Alex Coll , she could help so much faster , she is very knowledgeable and sweet and kind! And I think she would be delighted to help without Judgment!
I was thinking the same
Such a cozy vlog 🤍
I am embarking on learning a new language wish me luck! I will report back with the progress ❤
Good luck !!!! 🌸
It's a joy to watch your videos. Sending you lots of love, Lydia.😘😘😍😍😍
That first painting was beautiful great find thank you for the updates, love love love the brick floors.👍
