Badminton showjumping prep with Lucinda Fredericks!!

[@Squimbelina]

Absolutely brilliant Meg! Last year when Ellie jumped Dee you said ‘why can’t I ride her like that?’ - you just rode Jammy exactly like that. So positive and forward 🎉

[@annjohnson8437]

Meg is a terrific rider! ❤

[@MelBiggsMusic]

Great comment! Absolutely spot on!

[@trudebower1576]

Epic riding, things are coming together nicely! Just need to take that into the ring on show day.

[@rutherose23]

Would you ever consider having Ellie take Jam in Novice this season?

[@idajoh09]

On point, the hat is off for Meg👏

[@oldageisdumb]

Lucinda quietly to the camera: “No I haven’t. I’ve gone up two” 😆😆

[@shannaraloveshorses]

I really think Lucinda is SO good for you. You say you can’t do it, she says you can… and then you do ☺️

[@sasha56777]

Lucinda brings out the absolute best in you, Meg. Your riding was incredible here. I hope you watched this back and thought "well I bloody smashed that, didn't I?!"😂. You + Jammy are a very talented pair - everyone else, including Lucinda sees it. Have faith in yourself and your superstar pony

[@sippe9013]

That 👏 second 👏 round 👏 was 👏 MEGA👏 Oh how I love Lucindas lessons! They are so packed with information and inspiration.

[@dressagepony8744]

I think bear should be next for a lesson I would love to see Lucinda reaction with her jumping 😂😂

[@margaretmetcalfe9380]

Love Lucinda's teaching, very sensible and no nonsense but encouraging

[@virginiabennett9156]

Best I’ve ever seen you ride!!! To watch you push Jam up to the jump and never taking a pull! Eyes up, Jam landed in the correct lead each time!! You look more confident than ever. Lucinda was brilliant to have you jump higher fences. When you are warming up at any competition, Flick back, Flick up! Flick back to this day. As L said to watch this video so many times, so mentally flick back to those images of you putting Jam up to the fence when necessary. Then Flick those images up to the present moment and see yourself riding just like you rode in this video. You looked like a professional and the experienced rider you are. Very exciting to walk. You are so confident in Jam, her abilities and yours! Go for it!!

[@piroshka2]

How can Winnie be anything but epic with a mama like this!?! Just wow!

[@sullyhildebrand4636]

I think everyone needs a Lucinda in their ear every now and again. You rode brilliantly, Meg!

[@margauxnodvin7478]

That was great! Definitely the most confident and forward course jumping I’ve seen you do! No pulling, no circling, landing on the correct lead each time? and actually riding forward to those big fences. Fantastic! I love when you ride with Lucinda. She is so good at helping you push through your fears and build your confidence. You and Jammy are both looking great!

[@Golden1989-days]

I hope you watch this back a few times. What was being asked of you is really clear when you see the difference in the horses “power”. Ie. The push and release, the halt and canter, the jumping through the middle of the fence etc. Great learning. Plus, you honestly need to ignore the numbers and stop looking into the base of the fences. You and your steed have so much more skill and jumping power than you give yourselves credit for. Smile, head up and go. You can do this 😃👏👏👏

[@hazelrudland1643]

As Lucinda says, watch it back. It's so difficult when part of you wants it to be easier, but Lucinda's tough love brings out the best in you because you trust her. Watch it and trust yourself. You can do it!

[@egeegee7146]

With your issues you need no nonsense, get on with it Lucinda. Finally seeing you ride that superb pony like you can. Really good to watch.

[@hollyjones6347]

Jammy looks SPORTY, absolutely flying :)

[@annjohnson8437]

Awesome lesson! You and Jam are so great together. I hope your body heals quickly from your fall. ❤

[@shizam1400]

Lucinda is a brilliant instructor. Firm, but cares. And what an eye!

[@annejarvis7002]

Well said🤗

[@hannesofie6071]

Seriously Meg, never seen you riding this confident!!! ❤❤ Best lesson ever!!!

[@kathrynschaller8875]

Ohh what a difference a year makes! Your confidence has blossomed so much and you two look fabulous! I love your Lucinda lessons.

[@lemmebeawinnerequestrian7555]

Meg, watching you now compared to 4 years ago, the difference is night and day! You both have come so far!!! You've got this girl ❤!!!

[@janl8683]

Lucinda is so good for you, kind but firm and helps push you out of your comfort zone. Cannot wait for Badders ❤

[@jordyn0]

i love the way Lucinda teaches she is not only aggressive to push you more out of your comfort zone but soft to encourage you about what your doing and how to improve the little things! this is such a good confidence boost for you meg!!

[@rutherose23]

Great lesson-Jammy looks amazing! Hope you have more lessons with Lucinda. Hope you feel better soon.

[@jessicahigdon3962]

Wow, haven't even finished yet, but Meg, believe in yourself the way Lucinda does. YOU CAN DO IT! FANTASTIC! Ride forward just like you did in this video Meg. Great video. FANTASTIC!

[@Horsebeckz99]

Fantastically ridden, Jammy has a lot of scope and step for a little horse- have faith in her!

[@abbebladon]

Well done Meg! That was INSANE!! Flipping Love Lucinda “I’ve only gone up one here (no I haven’t, I’ve actually gone up two)”! Well done Meg, love seeing your progress year on year. You’ve always been an ace equestrian but my word your confidence and ability to ride more forward is awesome. Come on Badders, You are so so ready! ❤❤❤

[@rowanstaden-coats8157]

How much of a legend is Jam, she made that 1.10 look so so easily. Well ridden Meg! You rode so well. So switched on

[@pam.saraiva]

Meg, I live in Bermuda and have been following your journey all the ups and downs. That was the best lesson I have seen you ride. You were confident and Jam looked great. Good luck at Badminton- cannot what to watch.

[@chyrlwillis9422]

I have watched you from your first video. Seeing you ride like this is fantastic. You really are a genuinely good rider. I am 68 years old and rode my own horses into my university years. I love watching you begin to grow into your potential. Well done. 🎉

[@sianbennett-rodgers]

You are so bloody capable. Don’t forget that. Also I love the kick up the arse Lucinda gives

[@susantescione8007]

The improvement here was remarkable. Now you just have to implement it in practice and at Badminton. Good luck, Meg!

[@lynettekeyser1513]

Absolutely love how Lucinda trains you, personally in my opinion, just what you need Meg.

[@elizabethgrace7354]

Minute 30 really showed an incredible team of horse and rider!! The whole video was fantastic, I see confidence blooming!

[@Siobhan_Shivaun]

Crikey the jumps looked mahoosive!!!! 😱😱😱😱😱 And Jammy barely gave them a second glance!!! What a superstar!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@thebravingitequestrian]

Fantastic lesson! TFS. Feels like Lucinda’s become your adopted no-nonsense-instructor-mum, love it 😄.

[@jessicaruhl7314]

Lucinda pushes you and has really shown you just how brave and capable you and Jammy really are! Amazing riding!!

[@tracymckerchar9037]

Your pressure and expectation sandwich has turned into an apple slice my friend!! You rode well, Jam jumped awesome. You and Lucinda are a great team. That was awesome to watch! Congrats, hope you watch this with a smile!!

[@emmadm826]

Sooo glad to see Lucinda! I literally hear her voice in my head during my jump lessons after watching these videos 😂

[@shawnakillen3434]

Lucinda is great! Such a hoot, Jam & you make it look effortless♥️

[@lucysavin851]

Wow you guys are on fire! Absolutely amazing riding, the most confident i think ive ever seen you ride! Well done! Love Lucinda's lessons! Xxx

[@gailst55]

You made thejumps look like poles on the ground!! Well done, she sure can jump, without any effort. So enjoy all these videos.

[@selinamason-evans]

One word Exceptional ! show jumping at its best! well done Meg what a difference Lucinda makes to you and Jammy ! CLASS riding and instructing xx

[@annav3722]

I see, Meg has moved on to be sponsored by squares 🤪🤪 Love the way Lucinda teaches!

[@vogelvrouw]

Next year its gonna be triangles!

[@biggothepiggo]

Thanks Meg! I was waiting for your preBadders Lucinda lesson and this did not disappoint! As always, an incredible lesson! The best of the best. And well done you! Nice riding!❤

[@MelBiggsMusic]

Awesome Meg!! Great to see you pushing forward so positively and jumping this height without any (outward) wobbles. Jammy is wicked. Lucinda is good for you! 😊

[@elinaparkkonen517]

Be so incredibly PROUD of yourself, dear Meg❤. You are smart and talented. What a pair you and Jam are! Let this year be your year in Badders🙏🐎💖👣🇬🇧. What I admire the most is the way you always put the horse first. Take good care and rest as much as you can. Your body and brain NEED rest. You work so much❤. All my love to you, be well. THANK YOU 😍.

[@alisontabernor6332]

Lucinda is an amazing trainer for getting the best out of your horse and yourself Megan! 😊

[@Peachyjess25]

After rewatching your video with Lucinda after your bicton fall to watching this you can really see the amazing jump in confidence. You're a rider i've always looked up to and always love to see succeed. It's amazing to see you be as confident as you are now ❤

[@teresagreen1385]

Best I’ve ever seen you ride, that second round was perfection.

[@cnkequestrian5789]

I LOVE that square canter exercise! I definitely want to use that for my mare once she starts cantering under-saddle again. You and Jam are looking great, Meg!!

[@aussiegirl991]

Fantastic 🎉 Lucinda is sooo productive !! Well done Meg ,it must have been an amazing feeling❤

[@annejarvis7002]

Fantastic vlog. Meg, keep this experience on mental 'replay'. You & Jam WERE AWESOME 🎉. Your confidence shines through & you are riding so much more forward, with minimal 'tweaks' for Jam. You are also using your 'gears' brilliantly. Lucinda brings out the best in you & Jam - getting any negativity out the way, enabling you both to flourish. Go for it Meg, you really have got this & most importantly, enjoy yourself. Best wishes for Badders, Meg & to Ellie for her upcoming competitions ❤

[@law7897]

I love Lucinda. She says she’s not sympathetic, but I feel that she knows you so well, she really is. Great riding Meg. I can’t wait to see you compete at Badders and do really well xx

[@Grace07xx]

Lucinda really brings out the best in you. She’s an incredible teacher 👏

[@joannajones7700]

Oh my gosh, such a beefy track and you both made it look so slick! Love Lucinda’s coaching 💥

[@issybrinesj]

Both looking epic and ready to eat that course up next week! She is moving SO well too 🥹❤️❤️❤️

[@stephanglo8234]

Lucinda really is fabulous for you Meg! You do so well under her tuition!

[@stephanglo8234]

She doesn't mollycoddle you- which is what you need Meg!!

[@Miirasha]

I love Lucinda so much, she is JUST what you need at times like this. She always says you can and it is so cool to see you trusting her enough to DO when she says you CAN, even if you're not sure yourself. You are such a great and honest rider, I look up to you so much

[@ShaneGilbert-cx4th]

Sorry too here about your fall ,YOU are SO awesome . These lessons are always so good. It's SUCH a good cofidens boost, take care and all the best. 😊😊👍👍❤ jam is so good. 💖💖

[@aqhamustang]

[@isme7590]

So nice to have a teacher friend like “Lucinda”…Not only is she incredible ..You are too.👍 …Onwards and Upwards at Badders ❕…🙂 x

[@naniqueoliver412]

[@coraliesentch4515]

You & Jam aerie looking good to go for Badders Meg….loving the confidence return 👌🏻👏🏻💯🥰❤️

[@lornavantilburg4622]

Wow, amazing from both of you. Was a pleasure to watch!

[@englishcentre-gj]

The video I was waiting for🎉🎉, I love Lucindas teaching

[@charlieemortley22]

Omg this is the best I’ve seen you ride in ages. You watch this video the day of badminton to see how confident you are and remind your slef you can do this

[@Peaka01]

That was FANTASTIC Meg!!! You rode so well, so brave & so forward. Well done! ❤

[@izzistock6807]

The impulsion, power and confidence in the last round was amazing - well done! Looking forward to seeing this replicated at Badders!

[@april5666]

Lucinda is a ROCK STAR -- and you are a rock star in the making, Meg. You handled that so well, calmly and progressed through the difficulty. I am so impressed with your progress :)

[@Fairybrook2]

Wow.. just wow 🤩

[@Vixs_Secret]

what a fantasitc session! she really helps you get that confidence and shows you what you can achieve when in the right headspace (even if you're not wanting to be ha!) Great video

[@chelsea.mcccarthy]

Meg this was so so cool to see! You were so confident and it really really showed- now just to do it at Badders!

[@caitlin3925]

You did such a good job! You could really see you actively making decisions in the second round but riding really positively. Lucinda is so good for you and Jammy 🤩

[@theelepeltje6212]

Lucinda’s coaching works amazing for you! You were riding with so much more confidence, sooo good to see ❤️

[@beccalu04]

Meg - you are an exceptionally incredible rider, and you and Jammy make the most perfect combination. I know that you will be nervous for Badminton, and that is totally okay! But we can all see that you are an amazing horse and rider duo who is more than capable of absolutely bossing Badders… You’ve got this! 💪❤

[@earle.girls.pony.adventure7040]

This was the best I’ve seen you go Meg it was amazing and gave me goosebumps. After watching your ups and downs this made me emotional

[@Bently2849]

Wow! You both are looking great! Even with your leg hurting, you are riding really well and it looks like “Badders” will go well as long as you remember to follow Lucinda’s advice! Having watched previous episodes with Lucinda, you are much more confident and comfortable now than you were this time last year. So glad to see you both living up to your potential. Good luck in the next competition and at “Badders”!

[@stellap.680]

I need lucinda to talk you into riding novice at an event, you guys would KILL it and are so capable

[@alisontabernor6332]

Well done Megan you did an amazing ride on seeing as you were feeling sore at the beginning! Hope you are feeling better now! Jam is an absolute superstar, she had wings going round that course! I remember jumping my Arab X and a new yard owner saw me practising and hiked up the jumps and kept getting me to push faster and out of my comfort zone! He had talent but I was only a teenager at the time! He jumped out of that paddock after that several times! Ha ha! He was talented and very crazy 😊

[@dimac9085]

Yessssss!!!!! Was hoping for a Lucinda training video before Badders! Love her coaching style!

[@LindaBell-444]

MEG!!! You and Jammy smashed it ! You looked so confident and forward 🙌🏻👏🏻 I know all too well what it feels like when my coach pushes me to do something that I don’t necessarily have the confidence for but they have the confidence in me and my horse to do it. You always feel amazing after you do it. Best I have seen you ride ❤ Very well done 👍🏻

[@NZKaz]

Absolutely cracking! The adjustability makes an amazing difference and you rode so well

[@jenniferlehman326]

What an amazing training session with Lucinda, Meg!! So much great advice given, and you have the video to look at as well!! Thank you, Granite Lens, for taking the video!! Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦

[@annejarvis7002]

Hello Retired Paramedic, always lovely to read your great comments. Live, laugh, love from Retired Nurse, York UK🤗

[@jenniferlehman326]

@@annejarvis7002 Thank you for your service as a Nurse. I know that's not an easy job. My sister in law is a nurse, and I was still working as a Paramedic when the first wave of Covid 19 hit. I was so careful never to see her. Only because she works with Alzheimers and Dementia patients in a Retirement Home. I retired after that first wave was done. My back just couldn't take it any more after 37 yrs of service in 2 cities. I hope you are keeping well, and out of trouble, young lady!! LOL 🤣 Best Regards, Jenn 💖

[@katherinestead708]

always love watching you with Lucinda, that was great, you were both fantastic!!

[@patsmythe]

Exactly what you needed Meg - you were brilliant - keep the focus.

[@ellesmera8861]

As interesting as always at Lucinda's, good job Meg! Second round was great! Keep up the good work!

[@Dollarraeeventing]

Brilliant lesson, really informative. I’ve been following you since your confidence knock during your lesson with Lucinda last year. Wow what a difference. Well done

[@sparkle.-buggg3610]

Lucinda is the only instructor for you she has you doing jumping heights you don't normally jump and ignores you when you panic because she believes in you you are bloody brilliant Meg ❤

[@izziekathryn]

You absolutely smashed that and it just goes to show you CAN absolutely do it👏👏

[@jayreed7015]

Lucinda is brilliant. I think she gives you confidence. She doesn't listen to your nervousness. "Just get on with it." It's good to jump a higher course in training. It proves to yourself you're capable. And, Badders will be easier cos you know you can jump higher. Always train at a higher level than competition, doesn't matter which discipline, dressage or jumping. You're doing great. Remember to be positive. ❤

[@devils.advocate2354]

Great schooling. Quality canter and straight/center makes all the difference 👏👏

[@laurenpelling4079]

Both of you are Looking amazing🤩I love how Lucinda teaches.

[@diannemusson7988]

Oh my word, what a lesson, you did so well, brilliant really enjoyed that x

[@callista19w]

Love lucinda! I am so happy to see you take lessons from her

[@mariefraser9403]

Amazing jumping session !!! xx u need to watch it every time u have a confidence crisis to remind yourself that u r good enough and u can do it xx❤😘

[@janeminwell4395]

Definitely the best showjumping round ever! Really hope you can be as positive at Badders, though I know it’s not easy. 🤞🏻.

[@georginaspencer6534]

Wow that course was huge! You jumped it like a pro ❤

[@naomismith4933]

I am completely in love with Jammie. What a star.

[@eiry25]

Found the conversation after you jumped so educational, so thank you for including that part. Huge good luck at Badminton!
