I love how she gave Irish hotshot a little reassuring stroke instead of hitting him with the crop like most do .

[oldgranarystables]

irish hotshot was the best pony ive ever had, so lucky to have him! which i could do poys again on him this year <3 

[freeriding]

Good riding! She didn't hit the horse as far to many people do after their horse has stopped. Thumbs up! <3

i love how everyone in the comments is going on about how the girls could improve but i dont see any of you lot at POYS and competing at their level. If you are then fair enough.

These two were really nice riders to their horses :) so nice to see.

Waw loved Both ponies. Loved the way Lucy rode though, little too far back, but I loved how she reassured her pony and stroked him at that refusal. That's love 💖

A valuable reward, going to such a deserving rider!!!

[bluebreaststrokebabe]

the girl on Irish Hotshot was amazing- didnt get angry, just patted her pony and turned around! Acted like nothing had happened

[daisyhickman]

what height would you say these jumps are?

[jadehillsporthorses]

I did not like how heavy-handed and unforgiving with her grip Amy was. Riders just do not know how to be soft in the hands any more, even with more difficult-to-control horses. I have a very hard mouthed horse, and I can control him even with a light hand. It is all about how well you can ride and how much compassion you have for the horse.

[faye]

Loads of people are saying to give the horse a reassuring pat if they refuse and not to beat them with a whip and they're right, you don't have to beat them with a whip, tap them on their shoulder with it, patting them just teaches them to refuse because you pat horses for something good that they do so from the horse's point of view your telling him/her that it is good to refuse a fence and if you refuse then I will give you a pat🙄😕

[jadehillsporthorses]

Lucy has a very good leg, although she is leaning much too far back. Yes, you need to drive the horse with your seat, but she is interfering too much for the horse to be able to use himself well enough. She needs to get off his back until up to the last few strides up to the fence, and then she needs to LIGHTLY push with her seat. This is kind of ridiculous.
