Fred is awesome - I think the work on the flat getting her soft really translated to your jumping - you did a great job your round was just beautiful Addie is a star!!

[@nancyhamlin9169]

Your mother did a great job vldeoing😊😊😊

[@staceyarbelo4255]

So nice your Mom comes to support you.

[@kez10011]

Fantastic lesson! Well done you and Addie and Fred! Would love a lesson from him 😊 the way Addie figured things out and how she learned from the pole work was amazing. The jumping round the course proved it was the building blocks to set it all up ❤ thanks for sharing!

[@bromsonstud]

This was a brilliant lesson. Ignore the negative comments, as per usual keyboard numpty warriors are out!

[@katherinestead708]

oh Emily, that was such a fantastic lesson!! wow, wow, wow!! Fred was amazing! You must feel fantastic, it was just great. You two are epic!

[@janl8683]

Wow, tough lesson, but it achieved so much. Well done to you and Addie xx

[@Carroty_Peg]

well done Em....progress is only made through discomfort! I am learning to reframe failure = taking a learning. I either win or learn. Bloody hard, but we're either growing or regressing.

[@chrisdouglass7962]

That was very interesting and WOW ladies!! She is such a flyer 😄❤️❤️❤️ well done Emily 🥰

[@graciegiddens5998]

She is looking amazing Emily, youre doing such an amazing job with her! Have you stopped having lessons with Cameron? You bought her from Fred didn't you, so nice to see how she has matured!

[@emdeventing]

Aww thank you so much! She’s definitely starting to get the hang of it all. No haven’t stopped just not been able to get up to him as he’s based in Exeter. I did get her from Fred so always been having lessons with him too :) xx

[@leoniefraser4079]

Fred seems like such a good instructor! Was so lovely to see how much Addie improved throughout the lesson. I also feel like I learn so much by watching these kinds of vlogs! 😄 keep up the amazing work!

[@return_of_the_nac3164]

The last course you jumped was absolutely incredible. Such a productive, informative lesson. Big things to come for you both this year 🥰

[@sophieeardley4092]

This is exactly what I'm working on at the moment! Brilliant to see flatwork prioritised with the jumping 🙌

[@emdeventing]

Definitely all starts with the flatwork ☺️

[@egeegee7146]

That was a hard session. Really making you work and asking for the most from Addie. And boy what a transformation at the end. Well done.

[@katierscott8771]

The walk work put a huge smile on my face as, all be it partly forced on us by having to use our small school while the main school is having a major upgrade, we have been doing a lot of walk schooling. I really have noticed just how Hugo seems to do well with it and feels beneficial.

[@plove523]

I think its wonderful your mom comes out early to support you. What a trooper.

[@emdeventing]

I know, bless her she's my number one fan and really appreciate her support x

[@siobhanelizabeth8006]

Who is this Fred?! Lovely lesson, not reading comments the first one was about keyboard warriors, no time for that and I’m new to your channel, really lovely harmony between horse, rider and instructor ❤

[@ihay472]

Really good lesson. That counting seemed so difficult but makes so much sense.

[@alexbuchanan4351]

Instead of 1,2,3 if it’s a bit of a mouthful I sometimes use Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday instead with each day of week replacing a set of 1,2,3’s 🙂🙂🙂 well sat to those tricky jumps she popped in. Both of you are just fab!!! Looking forward to seeing what this year brings for you both 😊

[@janetrodgers7051]

Bless mummy D. It must be a mummy triat as i do the same when i am filming. And when i take photos oh my lord if i get the whole person in whoop 😂😂xx

[@donnastill5417]

Thank you so much to both you and Fred for sharing that lesson content: I’ve learnt so much and it was so beneficial to see what to do when they don’t necessarily do exactly what you want. Fred’s tone of voice and when he gives his cues are just spot on. ❤

[@emilyplante1981]

She's so amazing, I love applying the stuff you guys learn in your lessons to my dude! Also what breed it Addie, Tbx?

[@holly3041]

Can’t wait to see what amazing goals you are going to achieve with addie this year

[@emdeventing]

Aww thank you! Super excited for for year too!

[@suzannechance5876]

So proud of how you managed after the slip. Everyone and everything looked great including mom's video!

[@reneowens2768]

Of course horses can be naughty! They aren’t robots, they are emotional, thinking beings. Addie like any youngster is seeing if she can do a little less than asked. Em and Fred are dealing well with the questions Addie is asking them.

[@flockingbrilliant6684]

Bloody brilliant lesson! Fantastic instructor and you & Addie were absolutely bossing by the last round. Your resilience is something else, youre able to make a mistake and not hold onto it and make the change the next time you try the same exercise. Something to be commended! You could see the improvements so quickly throughout the lesson, and you could see how much confidence you were giving Addie! Really enjoy following your journey! Looking forward to seeing more training with Fred! 💪

[@trudebower1576]

Intense training. Remember as a rider we can say my horse has done enough. The final round was amazing.

[@helenlamb6560]

Awesome video, and so lively to see how you are both progressing and growing as a team. Looking forward to seeing what 2023 brings for you 😊🦄💜

[@holliefarrelly847]

Ahhhh already now I'm gonna love this !! ❤️❤️

[@All-Three-Phases-]

That was scary seeing you both almost flat out on the floor..! Blooming well done after that you reset and nailed it super well done 👏 xx

[@patriciaemms1902]

The difference was amazing, blank out the white boards/ cafe etc, keep in your mind what Fred coached you on, Addy is progressing really well as are you, there are always glitches but if you learn from them and can support Addy progressing will happen, good luck on Sunday. Is she bum high and still growing? Xx

[@alisonbates5125]

An amazing partnership ❤❤❤

[@group25squaredonline37]

What a way to end the lesson, all came together perfectly. Great video x

[@sdr_animals]

Great vlog as usual 👌 xx

[@lucyreilly9734]

First so excited

[@hannahshorty902]

Very informative, a lot of takeaways to process ☺️

[@victoriacotton9716]

WoW Addie Great lesson, she worked so hard, you got it, Magic, well done, had to watch it twice, such a good feeling to learn with you, even if I'll probably never ride again, so good to watch and learn so much with you both, BravO Addie and Emily

[@natalierice1443]

Watching these blogs make me realise what type of instruction works for me… I need more mental time to think what I’m doing. This instruction was too intense verbally for me if I was onboard but great to watch if that makes sense.

[@tessastewartful]

Loved this lesson! Learned loads. Well ridden xxx

[@christinemartindale8715]

This was a very interesting lesson Emily Fred is an amazing teacher. No wonder you felt great after that and Addie was such a good girl you both worked hard very well done.👏👏👏👏👏tfs😎🏇😎

[@jodiecrowson6768]

Wow he knows what he’s talking about, really enjoyed that !

[@ljmequestrian504]

Such a great lesson. So glad you left in the errors and showed that you overcame them! Going to check out Fred’s patreon!

[@hannahmcilveen]

This was SUCH a tough lesson, I definitely would've cried lol You and Addie did so fantastic though!

[@hiddengemequestrian]

Same😅I have had a lesson where my trainer was doing and saying basically the exact same things and I was definitely in tears a few different times throughout. I learned a lot though.

[@aliwallace9341]

Well done 👏🏻 I love how you are showing the importance of lessons and I mean good lessons! Could really see the difference 🎉

[@Jzy21]

Love Fred’s tuition, he looked so calm but firm with Addie (and you lol) I took a lot from this, thank you! Great riding and I hope Addie got extra carrots 🥕 🎉x

[@devils.advocate2354]

That was beautiful to watch. Boy oh boy were you two working and connecting. Believe Addie truly enjoyed that... you could see her brain working and she really started to use herself. 🦅 over that course and it was epic 🔥Always remember that your biggest competition is with yourself which is why I very much appreciated coach’s comments about not sacrificing training for clear round. 😊 Can we also talk about how good Addie looks also. Her winter coat and weight look great 👍 great job Em. Well cared for and it shows.

[@heatherbainbridge818]

Fab lesson great to watch the full lesson really great to watch thankyou you both look amazing

[@lisajames4150]

Tough lesson....tough love from Fred. Encouraging but still firm with the fundamentals. He is a good coach for you. Yes to dressage!!!! You can definitely use these lessons to improve your dressage. Well done. Will definitely check out the patreon page.

[@kateflanders7611]

Wow, a complex series of lessons all pointing to an end goal. I learned a lot, thank you

[@chesshughes9156]

Love this! I can take so much away from this vlog thank you so much! You both look amazing can’t wait to see what this season brings.

[@Katherinekirbydressage]

Looks like a brilliant lesson!

[@dennyb8317]

Well done Emily, you're very brave. Both of you are going to do wonderful things together x

[@jodiecrowson6768]

I think I’d sign up on the patreon just to look at him 😝😝

[@jesshughes2767]

She is looking so grown up!!!

[@kippen64]

You do know what you are doing.

[@jeniferrinehart1107]

What a great lesson! Hard work, but oh my is your improvement with Addie so clear! Well done! ❤❤❤

[@kirstensjovoll6949]

This was so interesting and informative- please do more of these!

[@aussiegirl991]

Love it ! Well done 👏

[@jessicahigdon3962]

Great video Em. Great lesson. Fred is very good.

[@sp474]

This was so incredible! Wow!

[@belindastergaard5012]

Why say 1,2,3? Say one at one stride, 2 next, 3 next. I think your way is more confusing. And you are out of breath when you counting like that. Great video tho.

[@Jzy21]

It wasn’t per stride, it was per beat of each individual canter stride

[@belindastergaard5012]

@@Jzy21 It's the same, lol. It does the same at the end.

[@angemoorhead5496]

Dressage as flat work is so important - the training scale applies to your jump training as well, you need all those elements to progress and succeed - lovely vlog Fred is such a sympathetic and knowledgeable trainer but at the same time does not let you get away with anything 😊 Addie is growing into a lovely horse and you will both do so well

[@vickwills5264]

This was so good to watch, you could really see her yield to your inside leg and outside rein at the beginning and how it got easier for her as she understood better what she was doing. You’re doing so well with her Em, looking better and better each video! X

[@fionasmith9973]

Oh man this was a bit brutal, I think I have ptsd from shouty riding lessons as a kid and this brought it all back! At least you didnt get off and have a strop and say "well you do it then!", You did so so well! I am learning with our baby horse that we need to do things wrong in order to learn how to do them right, it is the most difficult AND the most joyous part of bringing a horse on! I am laughing at your counting, so like me, "you want counting? HAVE ALL THE NUMBERS" slight hysteria kicking in🤣 Well done you, this was a super useful video to watch.

[@fleb608]

Horses don't know how to be 'naughty'. It baffles me how a so called professional can use that term. Awful

[@mlcequestrian3259]

Horses are very clever, they know how to use themselves against us at times and that can sometimes come out in naughtiness and cheekiness. You are right no horse knows how to be naughty but their behaviour in that moment is the opposite of what we are asking of them therefore the word naughty is used as it’s the simplest and easiest way to explain it.

[@hollythompson67]

Stop looking for ways to put emily down she's the loveliest person. And a professional trainer knows what he's talking about

[@bromsonstud]

Seriously? 😂

[@lafonevc5663]

It baffles me why people can’t use punctuation. Awful.

[@michaelajanescott5927]

@@hollythompson67 totally agree, Em is an absolute professional and adores her horses. Even top level professionals have off days or slips or whatever and I love watching Em on her best and not so best days. She takes amazing care of her horses too and isn't shy of saying she didn't make Addie do something when it wasn't best for her x

[@fleb608]

also you should never use your hands backwards and down, it puts pressure on the bars of the mouth and causes pain - you can see she is stressed

[@mlcequestrian3259]

This comment makes no sense to me. At no point in this does addy look stressed at all? You have to use your hands sometimes to say woah and to keep them with you, although in an ideal world we would always be able to ride 100% off our seat that just isn’t possible all the time🤷🏻‍♀️Fred knows what he’s talking about, obviously due the level he rides at so why comment this? Everything Em did in this session looked amazing! So it obviously worked!!🤷🏻‍♀️😂

[@bromsonstud]

Can I see your competition record? 😂

[@chesshughes9156]

I didn’t see any signs of stress we must have seen different videos
