The way he stopped when you tried to canter at 35:05 is just 🤌😂 He seemed like a little kid who was like “no I’m not cantewing!😤” 😭
Omg!! Hes beautiful, well done on pushing yourself, thank you for doing a video with Rich, I absolutely loved it
How is Otis THAT shiny 😮
Love this video series! 🎄 Feels like we are there watching the lesson! 😍 👏
And here I somehow thought a really well-trained dressage horse must be easier to ride than the untrained naughty ones… but they just have a lot more buttons. Imagine being used to an old car and having to fly a plane now 😀
That was amazing! I usually ride ponies, too, but my last lesson I rode a HUGE Friesian and the transition to canter was like bouncing off a giant trampoline!
Wow loved this! Dressage is my least favourite discipline and this is my fave of series! You did a fab jump too! Rich is hilarious
Meg no offence I think Ottis was like why is this person so short and why do they not know how to do dressage but from my point of view it looked so cool. Love Rich as well he's so funny and tall
You did amazing considering he has so many buttons and rich is Hilarious! You and rich have a good connection you can tell😂but you look so good on bigger horses, if/when you get a new horse you should defo get bigger!!
He just stands there looking incredibly expensive!
Wow, what a horse!!!! Well done Meg and Richard x
Meg.. you did so well!!! I really loved this ♥️
He is gorgeous ❤❤
Dressage horses be a pain in the back side
I would LOVE a lesson with this man! What an awesome lesson.
Loving these vlogs!
Omg love this horses personality! Playful and goofy lol I'd love to see him with a horse ball playing with it.
Well done Meg he is a handsome horse I think you did really well Rich sounds like a teacher that is a nice and fair but will tell you when needed
That was amazing 😲
When Meg goes from stock car to formula one 😂 just amazing, absolutely stunning horse (mountain) x
Wow amazing opportunity to ride an amazing horse 👌
I have Otis’s twin. My boy is a Sandro Hit-Hohenstein and they could be twins in every way, except Sandro is not GP. Exact same way of moving in the trot and canter. Powerful horses but with a slow hind leg. You did a fantastic job as these are not easy horses to ride. It only took me 12 years to learn the buttons. Once he is on the hind leg and thru he is so much fun to ride. And of course passage is a walk in the park….forward trot was the challenge earlier on. I learn now to passage but not stay in it too long and trot forward and then back in passage. You could learn so much from this horse. And your instructor has done a fantastic job with him and is a lovely rider. You are a very lucky lady. ❤
Wow!
I absolutely love watching these vlogs! What an absolute fabulous horse that is! Gorgeous to watch 😍 well done Meg! What an experience getting to ride all these amazing horses! Rich is an amazing instructor! Wish some of these people were up in Scotland haha! Can’t wait to continue watching these ❤️
18.1hh Gorgeous boy… interested in a trade? My kidney, perhaps?
Oh I luuuuurved this ❤❤❤. I’m so glad my horse is also not the only
One who likes to eat his reins 😂😂😂. Well done Meg, great riding. Otis is gorgeous. Well done to Rich – Otis is amazing!! I need lessons 😁
I have a 20yr ex dressage grand prix champion and she likes to piaffe and i just an like 'would you stop please'
DANG GIRL! It must have felt incredible up there! My old dressage trainer would put me on some nice horses and train me very similar to how Rich does. Clicking on beat, giving me seemingly endless commands. So I know that exact feeling of when you finally “get it” and they start moving beautifully. I can’t imagine how that felt on such a high-level horse! They definitely have so many buttons, you did beautifully! Good job for climbing on up and tackling that huge guy all while wearing a smile!
How tall are you Meg?
I rode a 4th level horse. His trot was like sitting on a trampoline. I couldn't stop Laughing. I tried to stop and he got faster. It was soooo funnn.
Just watched this, and my legs hurt! Haha…great job. 😀
The whole entire time I was LAUGHING MY BUT OFF. Otis is just…so incredible, he’s MASSIVE. Otis is literally hilarious and Rich was so funny as well 😂
Koko!!
Yes, dressage sport horses with high training are quite hard to ride. I've ridden an M and S dressage horse. I had no problems with the S horse, but he did flying changes all the time and i had no idea why. The other one i couldn't even canter. He just didn't understand what i wanted from him.
I CANNOT RIDE THIS TOP DRESSAGE HORSE

You should try to ride western
Dressage horses are unreal it’s so unnerving how well trained they are!
Wow, Ottis was enormous. Meg, and well done, you. You looked so tiny on him compared to Richard 😊 He was such a good boy once he'd warmed up.
Where did you get the gloves? They look awesome! Excellent video!!!
oh my god…your pants, belt, and boots are incredible; where did you get them?? i would love to get a pair of my own
Can he show us how he trained them to keep going even without leg
Tired of seeing dressage horses with their head so far behind the vertical (he rode the horse with the head to far behind the vertical). Just appears to be the standard these days. I happen to think she rode him much better. His head was at the vertical and he didn't appear to lose a lot of roundness. The instructor is humorous and patient which I appreciate. I think you rode that horse brilliantly. It sure is different when you ride something with LOTS OF POWER.
I am loving your vlogmas ! I think what you are doing is such a great idea
Really enjoying these!
Head is a bit cranked
Looks to me like this horse needs a little work on his 'submission' mark in the dressage score. He is absolutely stunning.
He is handsome
I SKIPPED A PART AND THEN IT SAID daddy long legs 😂
Otis is incredible! Reminds me why I fell in love with dressage as a child, just watching him move is spectacular
love the instructor!!!
