Lucky you have a lesson with Caroline Powell, who orginally came from New Zealand. She went to the UK to work for Ian Stark and she never came back!!! Caroline also won Burghley in 2010 riding Lenamore.
My first proper jump saddle was a Stübben! I loved it!!! ❤❤ Since then I'v also had a Stübben dressage saddle and borrowed another Stübben jump saddel for a while! Had two bridles from them as well! Stübben was my go-to untill I switched to Icelandic horses. Though I know they have Icelandic gear, I somehow never tried it….. Wish I had! Stübben is a great brand!!! ❤❤ Ember looked really excited and keen!!! No restricting gear anywhere!!! Love his enthusiasm!!! ❤❤
Stunning yard and the way Caroline looked into Ember's eyes in the school.
Great stuff.
Really interesting video and I loved all of the footage – but almost turned it off anyways due to the mic noice. The constant tapping of the mic on your coat, especially during trot, was almost unbearable when using headphones.
"He's a flyer" – never a truer word said. Really interesting vlog, thanks Lucy.
Love these kind of videos! Find it so interesting to learn about different types of tack!
Kei te pai👍. You loved that Stübben freedom bridle so much and Ember did look to be going so well in it that I did wonder why you hadn’t made the saddle change sooner. Nice to see a Kiwi 🥝🇳🇿sharing their ingenuity with problem solving & easy instruction to get the desired results. The wine🍷analogy was perfect. It was great to see Caroline sharing her wisdom instead of just answering questions in a post ride interview. Time to build up your fitness so we can see more lessons😜 Great video Lucy.
This little horse has real talent. Observing his transformation from a depressed, neurotic, confused, and somewhat out of control juvenile to a smart professional with a joy for life that he expresses in his face and in his paces, has been very interesting Thank you Lucy for giving him the love and support he needed. He is fortunate that you chose to be his mum. 29:08
Oooooo stubben. Had a couple myself. Love them.
I continue to be amazed by just how much power Ember can generate from behind in like a stride. The two of you will truly fly once you figured out the last little bits. Super interesting to see the fitting process. To me it looked as if you were not completely centred on Ember in either saddle but who knows what I saw. Lol.
Stubbens have never fitted any of my ex racers which is such a shame. Maybe I should take another look 😊 great video and congrats on the sponsorship! 🎉
Wow Lucy your saddles are so nice , one of the girl's I worked for had a shubben jump saddle . Thank you for sharing your day , and all the best for the season. 😄😄👍👍👍😊
Stubbens make VERY nice saddles, cost, but taken care off last forever.
Beautiful rings!! Good boy
“Otherwise he gets bouncy and a little bit race horsey… whatever that is” 😂😂
Ember is so elegant and flowing love the care you take to teach him good luck xx
Congratulations on ur new saddle sponsor Lucy! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Loveeee my Stubben. Soooo good for thoroughbred types!
Enjoyed this – well done you two. Glad all sorted with helpful perfect tack – Caroline's coaching is excellent!
He's an amazing boy, I've loved watching his progress; and yours!! You're amazing and getting better and better too! The browband looked wonky, ,my only feedback from a great video!
Omg Lucy my very first big saddle purchase was a Stubben jumping saddle hand made in Germany in 1972. My absolute favourite saddle of all time & my old fabulous Saddler Jim would make any adjustments required for me for free . He would never let me pay because it gave him so much pleasure working on such a magnificent piece of craftsmanship- his words .
Love that Albion were so understanding. It’s a testament to their love of horses, and commitment to the sport and supporting its athletes to be their best.
I’ll be watching your adventures 😮
This was epic
Lovely🤗
I love saddle fitting, it’s so specific to each horse and I don’t think there is a wrong saddle, just wrong for some horses. I absolutely advocate for stubben, I have loved them since the 90s. My super wide shoulder short back mare loves them, I also dislike dressage saddles, and so did my mare, until I got our stubben, the exact same one you have in this video. Congrats on your new brand, can’t wait to see more eventing this season!
Please go back to Caroline for lessons if you can Lucy- she had you and ember looking mega! she is an incredible instructor and really had ember improving very quickly with her instructions
Ember was looking great! Super dressage lesson!
You must be so chuffed after you big day. Love how Caroline not only gave directions but explained why and what the outcome should/would be. Just with implementing some small tweaks you could see a difference in Ember's flatworm. So much to look forward to with him. New sponsorship very exciting & again plenty of explanation behind design and functionality.
Very exciting times ahead for you both I think 🤗
I had a TB who was strong and rushed all the time, even in the Dressage. I worked for hours every day just to tire him enough to control him. I finally had a breakthrough when I was running late and it was getting dark with no lights available but needed to run through my test so I put him in a roped arena(remember them) and started my test He was smart enough to know it would be dangerous to rush and so he settled and did his best test ever. It was a turning point for him. With the jumping I let him go at his pace on a 20m circle over one jump. It was hairy to begin with but his self preservation kicked in again and he settled into a rhythm and he became a fantastic jumper. I found fighting against him to be counter productive. They have to trust us as much as we trust them. Every horse is different and we have to find out what they respond to. It is definitely not one size fits all. Lucy, you have done an amazing job with Ember. It took me years to sort out my issues. We can see you are close. Good luck with your journey.
I confess that I hoped that the secret would be a new horse.
Congratulations on your new sponsor.
Thanks for the great video, love watching your lessons with Caroline and seeing your lovely new saddles fitted. Ember is looking fab, how nice to have a few more ideas from Caroline to take home. Excited to see what you and your mega little horse get up to this year!
Great video. Well done. So informative
Congrats on the new sponsorship Lucy,👍, and great pointers from Caroline.
I’m sure they have a place on Oakley hay near me? Or they used to. Ember certainly likes his new tack ❤
Ember looks fantastic Lucy. You’ve done a beautiful job with him since you got him tbs are lovely. I’d have loved to see Caroline ride him. It’s good to see other professionals ride your horses gives you a good look at things you can feed off. This was a very nice vlog.tfs🤗🏇🤗
Love that you're trying Stuben. I've heard they're really good for the horse's back. I'm hoping to transition myself, so I was very interested in this vlog. Have you tried the biomex seat? Hopefully Ember loves the fit!!
Wonderful vlog. Thank you for sharing.
very good fit of your new tack😊 looks very nice! ember looked a slightly bit lame on his left front in the outside arena, i hope it is everything allright❤
Ah, I adore watching the little ginger pocket rocket enjoying himself, congrats on the stubben sponsorship Lucy and keep up the marvellous work and Vlogs 🙂
