FIRST TIME 'RIDING OUT' A RACEHORSE | Footluce Eventing

Welcome to Footluce Eventing!
To kick off the week, watch as I pay a visit to my friend and racehorse trainer Billy Aprahamian and have a ride of one of his lovely horses! This was my first time riding a racehorse up the gallops and I loved it.
Follow Billy over on his Instagram @billyapro

[@lagro8007]

Sorry, but the immaturity in me is still laughing at your comment “Can I go up your bum?”😂 Another great video Lucy!

[@sophiegellender]

Talk about timing for this coming out! Just finished watching the last Ember video was looking for something else then saw this uploaded 1 minute ago 👏🏻 yaaassss! 😄

[@christinemartindale8715]

Lucy now you’ve felt what I did 30 plus years ago and for a first time gallop on that beautiful tb you did bloody marvelous so pat yourself on the back. He got strong and you kept your cool sitting very quickly which is exactly what you do with tbs on the gallops. It’s a great feeling isn’t it. Very well ridden. 👏👏👏👏👏Loved this clip brought back lovely memories for me.tfs😎🏇😎

[@suzannechance5876]

Loving two a week but understand how demanding it must be. It must be very taxing to keep all those you love and care for healthy and happy. What a schedule you must keep! It must feel rather hectic at times. Will be sending kind thoughts and hoping for more warm sunshine for you to bask in!

Time for you and the girls to sign up for a charity race, there are loads throughout the year. The magnolia cup gives the winner their weight in champagne

[@diannegirvan6966]

Loving having two vlogs a week, so many fun adventures and the eventing season hasn't even begun...

[@JenniferJCouch]

Great Vlog! Loved Billy's yard also. His horses are beautiful 'Especially the one you were riding. Twice a week is great! Thanks for sharing the gallop using your GoPro Fun! Stay safe!💙😎🐎

[@cazobrien693]

I used to be a national hunt jockey. I miss riding out . It's brilliant fun

[@Harrysmababyhorse]

It’s such an incredible experience isn’t it!!! I went to a racing yard as a job came up (wasn’t for me but I really enjoyed it!) and got trusted with a three year old and galloped her and honestly was the most exhilarating thing I’ve done haha! It was so much fun! And they do have so much power!

[@alicowls1605]

Just loved this! What a fab yard. And loving the two vlogs a week

[@fleetskipper1810]

Makes you realize how differently a race horse is trained than any other kind of competition horse. When you pull on their mouths, they go faster. Precious Cargo is just gorgeous. Can you imagine riding eight horses a day as an exercise rider?. You would have to be incredibly fit to do it. I had to laugh when you kept apologizing for passing the other horse. Here’s what your mount was thinking: “ I don’t get it with humans. First they want me to pass everybody and win. The next minute, I’m supposed to be behind everybody and get in trouble if I pass them. What’s with that? “

[@emma_and_a_horse]

I'm loving the frequent videos :) Thank you Lucy!

[@alisontabernor6332]

What a fantastic experience for you Lucy🙂

[@natashakate5687]

I’d love to do that, it looks like a good experience and I like that those racehorses seemed kind and well treated.

[@horsingaround-medidaelaine]

That looks like SO much fun! 😍 You’re brave! 🤠

[@CeruleanSun]

I fell off my ex-racer today so I'm watching this from the safety of my laptop in my bedroom 😂

[@yorkshirelass1297]

Great vlog Lucy! It was so nice to see the NH side of racing, which I must admit I do prefer. I like horses with a bit of bone versus the smaller fine flat racers. But well done, you did a great job for your first time hun! I would also like to wish Billy and his team the best of luck and hopefully he is very successful! Ps Yes the more vlogs the better for me, I know it is time consuming for you, but do love to see more of what you get up to, so thank you hun and take care 🥰💜

[@merauble6658]

2 videos a week is lush, thank you. Educational, engaging, but not 'in your face' broadcasting💚 I work rode for Christine Dunnett at times. It's like riding a blade with power, on legs 😁

[@isabellaaedwardss]

woweee! Hold onto your hats haha. looked like you had a blast

[@rubydawson2032]

Great video Lucy looks like such good fun !! 🤩😍

[@ihay472]

I loved Precious Cargo's massive head! How lucky are you to get to try this?! I would love to!

[@suepaterson8948]

My grandfather owned a grand National winner(1951) and he also said that a horse that can roll completely over is a good horse. The more blogs the better.

[@ArtsyFarm]

[@gillianwhitehouse6226]

[@melliejones810]

Great vlog, Lucy, and loving your posting twice a week 😀 You rode the racehorse well and seemed comfortable when he overtook, and he certainly was going fast 🥰 Would love to see Laraghlee and Harry on your vlog. It feels like a long time since we've seen them?

[@dennyb8317]

Gorgeous horses. What an experience lucky you.

If LL was in her normal shape your arms would have been strong enough for the racehorse. What a beautiful boy. A good racer, he wants to be #1. Glad to see you so strong. Prayers up for your health issues. You are amazing and lovely.

The way she got on😬

[@lizgarland2241]

Fab Lucy 💚🍀💚🇮🇪

[@WLCC10]

You will never have time faults again if you do this often enough. You will learn how to keep up to pace. You said your arms got tired. With practice you learn to balance and use your body rather than just your arms. Being tall it takes time to find the perfect leather length but it can be done. The other thing . Leave your good boots at home and ride in short chaps. You don't get rubbed below your knee.

[@fleetskipper1810]

Great advice about using half chaps.

[@bonothepony1932]

Hi to me Polly who drew harry for you

[@vogelvrouw]

Wow that looks amazing! Looks like you're doing a pretty good job, I'd be absolutely terrified

[@sooz793]

What are those types of reins called that are connected to the girth?

[@jandavison7288]

Harbridge.

[@horsemom6421]
