    Wow! He is incredible. So athletic, it must feel like sitting on a powder keg. Well ridden. Considering how busy the yard is he has an amazing head on him.

    I loved him at his first appearance on your channel and with every vlog featuring him, I seem to love him more and more. He's a total star and you are doing a super job with him; just riding really beautifully; so calm and positive. It also really warms my heart to see him so happy and relaxed. He strikes me as a kind fellow, but a bit anxious and I think he's living his best, happy life with you and loving the work! Plus he's so good at it and so smart! You really can't beat the brain of a clever TB and he's very bright! ❤

    @syzygyfarm Před 2 lety +18

    I can't wait for him to settle in and harness his natural talent. He's going to be unbeatable! Love the baby phase, though, where he seems to be asking with each step if you want 110% effort. lol He's so cute! A little Ember glowing bright!

    I just think Ember is the loveliest horse! He is just so much fun to watch I cannot imagine how much fun he is to ride. Everything seems so effortless for him. I am so happy you bought him and am looking forward to more videos of the two of you. He seems to make you so happy!!

    I think buying Ember was exactly what you needed... a green horse that you could work with. Sometimes we all need something new in our lives. Best of luck with your new boy.

  • @SarahJSwift
    @SarahJSwift Před 2 lety +5

    8:42 to 9:05 as you went into the canter track on the right lead, he was perfect front and back, and as you both went around the hill, he looked like he started bouncing a bit, and he came out at the bottom, disunited at the back 🙂. He kinda looked like he was trying to bounce his front end into left lead. I also love the way he turned into a stag at 13:31 with extra leg lift and extra flicky toes.

  • @sturdygirl7772

    @WLCC10 Před 2 lety +3

    When you first start retraining them the biggest asset of an Ottb is their forwardness. The biggest draw back is their forwardness.
    As a rider you have to learn to trust yourself to ride and control it at the same time.
    That session showed your on the right track.
    Ember has something about him. Once he figures things out he makes it look easy. You are going to have great fun together.

  • @MelBiggsMusic
    @MelBiggsMusic Před 2 lety +4

    I think what I'm loving seeing is your confidence blossom with him 🥰 I've been watching your vlogs and Back To Basics/Swipe Up for a while now and I've always thought you a very capable rider but has anxious tension which works against your goals when in the saddle (I hope that's a fair comment, it's not meant as shade!!) But even in this lesson, you could see how you relaxed and trusted him and he softened and gave you a really good ride. I'm really going to enjoy watching your progress together! Xx

  • @suzannechance5876
    @suzannechance5876 Před 2 lety +5

    What a horse! To see him standing and then moving, my word, what a difference. He literally transforms into a lovely orb of graceful motion. So amazing to hear the joy in your voice, I am so pleased for you! AND he is so smart, and so interested in what he is doing! I swear he looks like a different horse when he is with you. Damn, so excited, I must watch again! Oh yes, the lesson was brilliant and the photography was excellent.....thank you both! I have a question for Justine. How did you know ? What instinct did this little fella trigger? Whatever guided you to make this match up, well done! Well done!

  • @brendaoshea2013

    I swear all ex racehorses start off like this, he’ll be perfect in a few months! They just need time to change shape. My two ex racehorses were exactly the same as Ember except they wouldn’t canter on the right lead and Ember doesn’t want to canter on his left 😂 good luck with him he has a lovely attitude!

    • @footluceeventing

  • @laurenmclain6378
    @laurenmclain6378 Před 2 lety +1

    Ember is an amazing horse. You've got something very special with him. Good job buying him when you had the chance to do so, because he has everything you want in a horse that's going to do eventing. Just watching him move, he's incredible. He likes what he's doing, he wants to do it, and like the instructor said, you can't put that into a horse. Ember clearly has that special something, and I'm glad you bought him when you had the chance to, because we get to watch him, and see how he progresses. I think his prior owners recognized that he's got that special something, thankfully, and you were in the right place at the right time. What an awesome little horse you've got!!!!!

  • @wendystewart1798

    Your lesson went great, Lucy. You and Ember rode well, and you could certainly see his excitement in jumping. Ears forward, he was relaxed both you and Paul were calm, and Ember was having the best time. I love the way he flicks his legs, and he was certainly listening and giving you 100%. He is a super star 🌟 🤩

    I can see how laraugh prepared you for him. You handled it great when his blood went up. Expect to have these moments with a OTTB but it gets better & more manageable. Your not a emotional rider so you'll be fine! I'm really looking forward to watching all the vlogs with him. I come from a racehorse family, my father a jockey & my brother, I'm a trainer . Not everyone is cut out for a thoroughbred but you got this!

    Well ridden, Luci. Oops! That’s why I’ve never had just 2 poles. My boy would hurdle them. Ember is so lucky to have such a sensitive rider like you. Ember was so ready to do an 8 furlong dash for you but you gently eased him into doing something new for him. Love it❤️

      @@NoThankUBeQuiet True. I would get combinations of, over the first then launch the last two or hurdle first two and clatter the last 🤣. Three made him think more and he would figure it out, bless him. Maybe it’s because he was Welsh. He did poles Bear stylie 🤣 (see Elphick Event Ponies)

    Well, it certainly looks like he's not depressed any more. He's enjoying his work. This little horse could take you places, Lucy. Still green and excitable, but he has the paces (what a walk!) the expression, the athleticism, the jump and the speed to make a very nice event horse indeed. He looks very smart when he's under saddle. Your vlogs always make my day. Thank you, Lucy. Wishing the two of you much success.

    @kdris12hihi Před 2 lety +1

    My absolute favorite videos are the ones where ponies are being trained and learning what things the rider needs to pay attention to help the horse learn.
    Also, his right leg goes so much further than his left when walking, trotting, and cantering. Maybe it's the angle. He seems to reach with it.

  • @egeegee7146

He will reward you in spades for being his person. A horse like that, with the wrong person it could have ended so wrong and it would not have been his fault. YAY!!!!! PS the canter track is genius.
