This is an awesome video. Piggy gives such helpful advice. How old is your mare? Six? She's very pretty and has a lot of potential. When you had her attention, she looked wonderful! ❤

[@thebravingitequestrian]

Really enjoyed watching a lesson with the imperfect/ challenging bits in & being able to see what Piggy’s advice was to tackle them. Just makes it so much more relatable & helpful ☺️... Thank you for sharing!

[@amberrose7023]

I felt privileged just watching Piggy teach you! What an amazing opportunity and a great learning experience. Can’t wait to see the jumping!!

[@emdeventing]

Awww thank you. It really was, a true pinch me moment so grateful to have been asked x

[@hceventing]

So good to see her being a bit naughty and what piggy thought! When she's good she looks incredible.

[@emdeventing]

Sometimes it’s nice when they don’t come out totally perfect. It was great to learn some tips to help deal with it x

[@geoffboultwood7566]

Lovely vlog Emily Addie certainly looked happy. Piggy's yard isn't that far from me , glad the trip went so well.

[@Hasanreak]

Thank you for being so honest and realistic, I admire you for that, you are honestly a breath of fresh air, subscribed, looking forward to seeing your journey xx

[@ds_equine5568]

Thank you so much for posting this I’m having very similar problems with my 5 year old, it’s nice to know I’m not the only one who has problems xx

[@MarthaLilyPhotog]

I missed her being cheeky. She looked fab when I walked over! What a cheeky baby! She looks incredible when she is on side! X

[@emdeventing]

Aww thanks lovely. Yeah we definitely ended a lot better than we started. Hopefully with the tips learnt we'll make it more consistent xx

[@greenecrayon]

It was really neat to hear the words of wisdom from Piggy helping you get some good insights. I love learning so much about how horses go from green babies to pro horses.

[@emdeventing]

Glad you enjoyed it, it's certainly a journey xx

[@bromsonstud]

Well done for working through that. Now is the time to stop thinking of her as a baby, she’s 6 now and she needs to know she’s got to knuckle down 😉 Piggy was fantastic, and it’s exactly what Addie needs!

[@NoThankUBeQuiet]

Disagree. 6 is still a baby. Less of a baby but still not grown

[@patriciaemms1902]

You should be really pleased with the schooling, great tips about getting Addy to listen and she worked through her moments and continued into some lovely work, well done xx

[@diannegirvan6966]

I know it was frustrating that Addie was a bit naughty, but it was actually a wonderful learning opportunity! Piggy had some wonderful tips to deal with Addie and I think if you take that on board, I am certain that you will get thru the tricky 6yo phase in no time! Can't wait to watch part 2 ❤

[@emdeventing]

Thank you so much, you are so right. Like I said in the video if she came out perfect we may not have learnt as much as we did x

[@MelanieTheEquestrian]

That was a very informative video and it looked lovely. I learned so much and think I’ll be watching this video a few times.

[@kernowcapers6199]

I wouldn’t worry about the fan girl thing… I am 50 and fan girl over poor Tina all the time. 🤭 You deserve all your success and opportunities. 🤩 x

[@andylintott5580]

Absolutely love your videos and Addie. Thanks for posting

[@emdeventing]

Thank you, glad you enjoy them x

[@AlannaClarkeEquestrian]

You were brilliant ❤ love the vlog!

[@taylorwollerson2561]

Love to see how you guys worked through her bit of attitude! You rode it all so well! 👏🏻

[@bonitawright477]

I’ve been watching you since the beginning but never comment. I’m a silent viewer 😂 however, I have to say this has been fab and so inspiring. I smiled through the whole thing 😊

[@nicolabowley8476]

Amazing to watch. My girl is coning into her 6's piggy's homework is definitely now on my schedule

[@emdeventing]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. Hope the transition to 6 years old goes smoothly for you x

[@angelastoner3658]

Loved this video,how wonderful to go to Piggy March’s Yard.Exciting experience for You and Addie 👏🏻👏🏻

[@emdeventing]

Yeah it really was! It's the yard of dreams, a full tour of the yard will be included in part 2 x

[@kippen64]

Looking forward to part two!!!

[@emdeventing]

Can't wait to share it! x

[@beckyjones5722]

Piggy is just AMAZING!!!

[@Katherinekirbydressage]

That looked like such an informative and productive lesson! ❤

[@Hormonalfilly]

Thank you so much for sharing this! I have a 5yo mare that can be exact the same in the school.. super interesting to hear what Piggy said about it. I'm far too soft and need to be more 'black and white'. Addie looked fab at the end.

[@debbieredmon5063]

Trip-toe-fan. Just to make you a very knowledgeable person!! I am glad you are sharing the good and the bad. Horses are a journey and as much as we love them, it isn't always perfect. It is good to know that everyone has good days and bad days! And I love your gabbiness, makes me feel like I'm right there with you. Fan girling Piggy? Who wouldn't? Can't wait to see it all!! Have fun, learn lots and thanks for taking us along.

[@emdeventing]

Aww thanks so much for the lovely comment. |Glad you enjoy coming along too and you appreciate the not quite so nice moments. It's real life even though can stile a little daunting to post it x

[@lisakovic5256]

So glad you shared this!! Thanks to both you and Piggy, def needed some of these tips 😂 Honestly Addie looks AMAZING it really is just her little opinions…. My gosh you should be so proud 😍 and proud of you too! Pushing thru it!! Xo

[@emdeventing]

Awww thanks so much. |It can be reallyy deflating but then the next second very rewarding xx

[@evelynjellema9827]

Well done, well ridden and thanks for always being such an inspiration. It’s great to see other horses not just being “perfect”! It makes you feel like we are all on the journey together and lots to learn from watching you ride. She looks beautiful when it’s all going to plan. Huge well done for always staying positive and riding positively - you are a real role model as I think we all know how easy it is to get frustrated and annoyed. Well done again 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Siobhan_Shivaun]

Fantastic training, and so cool to see Tina's vlog, and yours to get two different views of the day! xx (also my horse was a right pain when he was 6!! 😂)

[@paulacambell3646]

Great vlog as always congrats on your accomplishments ❤

[@Rondel4]

How Amazing for you and Addie and My Eventing idol rider passed away a few years ago now Gillian Rolton she gutsy rider

[@margaretlane9629]

Awesome! Piggy is the bomb 😊🎉

[@emdeventing]

1000% agree!!

[@sparkle.-buggg3610]

Well done Emily she's going lovely hang in there you'll get there ❤loving your best life fab vlog hun x

[@biggothepiggo]

Honestly? As much as it would feel wonderful to come out and have everything be perfect, it's actually way more useful to have Addie demonstrate a little typical unrideability, so that Piggy could offer help. And I bet when you watched the footage you thought to yourself, "Wow, that actually looks much better than I thought it would." She was super for a good portion of it. You rode her very well ("Well ridden Ems" - how awesome to hear that from Piggy!!!) and Piggy offered tools and insight for improvement. To me, that's a successful endeavor!

[@jessicahigdon3962]

Great video Em. Great riding. I had a mare just like Addie, not responsive to the leg at all. You can carry a schooling whip, that would be fine. Squeeze and if she doesn't respond, tap her. If you make it immediately from not responding to your leg, she will learn the leg means move. But that's just my opinion. You ride beautifully and Addie is doing great. Great video.

[@NoThankUBeQuiet]

I'm a big believer of have a whip because if you don't need it, great but it's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

[@andriasophia]

Well done ❤Emily 😊

[@emdeventing]

Thank you x

[@andriasophia]

@@emdeventing you’re welcome

[@rainbowsandunicorns9196]

Well done Emily you did really well with your lesson with piggy 🦄🦄🦄🦄❤❤❤❤😁😁😁🐴🐴🐴

[@devils.advocate2354]

Well ridden Em. At 6 they become like lazy teenagers… clear expectations… yes/no… rhythm rhythm rhythm… keeps them moving forward. We liked riding with radio playing nearby… helps keep rhythm and most songs about 2 minutes long… perfect length interval for younger horses. 😊 (Addie really wasn’t that bad just letting you know she’s got a working mind/opinion)

[@emdeventing]

Thank you! I like that expression lazy teenagers… like she doesn’t want to tidy her room 😂 thanks for the radio tip too will give that a go! X

[@devils.advocate2354]

@@emdeventing might I recommend Led Zeppelin’s Whole Lotta Love as a great song to use on playlist 😉 lots of different rhythms in song (walk/trot and canter work), a longer song, and well because Zeppelin ROCKS) before you know it you’ll have an epic Addie playlist 🧡🧡🧡🧡

[@sparkle.-buggg3610]

Living the dream hun ❤😊

[@NoThankUBeQuiet]

Shes in the "i know whats going on" phase. The more greenies you ride the more used to that phase you get. With some horses its worse than others but they all go through it.

[@rachel3591]

As someone whos horse can get a bit nappy I feel so seen lol :) it must have been a bit mind blowing she was doing it during a lesson but there is no better time really!

[@emdeventing]

Exactly that, was so helpful to have Piggy's knowledge and experience and learn the tips to help get us through it xx

[@fleetskipper1810]

The way I look at it, it’s good if a horse misbehaves at a clinic. Then the clinician can really dig in and help you. You rode through that really well. I have a 7-year-old mare, and Piggy is right, that’s when they get very opinionated and full of themselves. So I think it was perfect the way it happened.

[@ninabruecher8199]

Hey, just would like to ask… everything alright with you guys? Long time no see. 😢

[@chrisdouglass7962]

That was the perfect time for Addie to be a brat AND then show her good cuz when she's good she's really good!! Well done Em!!! She'll be 7 soon and y'all have had a very different kind of year 😂😁😜🥰🥰🌧️🌞🌞🌞🥂🍾

[@Squimbelina]

Addie is having her teen moments isn't she! But well ridden and Piggy's comments so helpful - funny how she did seem so much happier in canter. We always think progress walk-trot-canter in warmup but Piggy's right - if she's happier and more forward in canter then why not walk then canter if that gets her thinking forward on a nappy day?

[@katierose9594]

I was always told if I.m nor puffing and outta breath the I'm not working my horse correctly. And they are not fit enough. Welcome to the world of real schooling. 4x a week min

[@obsessionofhorses]

I think ur blessed she was like that with piggy cause if that’s the worse she’s done piggy can help nip it in the bud

[@cheryllgoodluck3561]

She is teaching the NO I wont have that button cheers

[@emdeventing]

Exactly that x
