I hope Lucy does well too. She really does look out for those horses and makes sure she doesn’t push them too far. I think she doesn’t realise what a smart rider she is and I hope this camp improves her confidence. I love her vlogs and her dry sense of humour, especially when Justine is in them too. Those two work well together.

I agree with you totally.
If she wanted a 'ready made' horse, why didn't she buy a 7/8 year old instead?
Looking at this I would think this is an insurance requirement more than the channel excluding people. Same with the over 18 stipulation
Exactly what I thought just from the thumbnail/video title alone. We can all have an off day but the riding in that video was absolutely shocking!
Agree. A real shame as part of the appeal and why it is so popular is because lots of people are able relate to the people on there as there was always such a variety. With that criteria is just going to be filled with the same people, same horses. How dull.
Wouldn't it be more costworthy to have higher hights being jumped over competent people jumping say 60/70cm
Yeah capable of jumping a 70cm course would be fair I’d say.
I disagree with everyone saying “what about dressage riders” though. I’d say it’s aimed at allrounders, not anyone in any specific discipline.
It’s aimed at eventers where their horses are BE90 fit
More likely to have people who are less skilled riders at the lower level from an insurance point of view I would think They need you to be at a certain level and competence. Setting the bar will arise a more educated standard of rider. I would think anyways. I am sure people will lie for there five mins of fame x
It’s filmed at Talland, where they take complete novices. I’m sure the insurance is all there regardless of ability.
Absolute nonsense is it about insurance.
Riding schools - which essentially is what Talland is, have insurance for people who have absolutely never sat on a horse before.
I think it would be nice to see the bread and butter rider getting picked for something like that.
I’m sure that’s what they did before, I didn’t actually watch the series where LOTLR was on but as she only does 90 BE’s now I can’t believe she was competently completing them back then - I’m sure some one on here will come and correct me.

Surely they would have to check that anyone who is going on is capable of doing what they say they're capable of doing. Even 10cm lower at 80cm would open it up to many competent riders. And to be honest 80cm is also pretty open for most dressage riders providing their horse is capable of jumping/has jumped before.
I’ve lurked only here for a while but just had to make an account to say this..
catherine from Goat The Event Horse, how old is she? She’s just posted something about having a boyfriend and he is 18!!!

I do think the fact that equestrian “influencing” has really taken off over the last couple of years has probably affected their decision to restrict it to people confident at 90cm plus as it’ll reduce the number of applicants. If you think back to when the last all star academy took place influencing wasn’t as much of a thing (or only just starting to take off) and there were far fewer horsey influencers/content creators out there then compared to now. If they don’t limit the applications they would be absolutely inundated.
And whether they like it or not ASA is going to attract all the wannabe influencer types so they can get their 5 minutes of fame and boost their Instagram following…it’s the love island of the horse world

The 90cm jumping limit has been removed!
I do think she is trying to keep up with everyone around her... so I kind of got the vibe that the 'angry' kicking and facial expression was coming from anxiety about making sure the horse performs and impresses. It was all a bit odd to watch... what's with all the hooning around at the start? I don't think there was anything constructive to be had out of it and I think that was poor advice. I'm not sure what Cameron was trying to get her to achieve in a lot of what we were seeing.
And totally agree - the horse obviously can jump, but what's the point in clearing >1m if you and your instructor are literally discussing how the approaching canter isn't ok? Or how your contact isn't consistent? Take a step back... its your horse, go at your own pace.
Also really bugs me how much jewelery she has on and no gloves but that might just be me
I was Totally wrong with insurance thenHorse and country have changed it. Instagram bombarded with applications, lovely
. Maybe they realised they can’t get the ones they already have lined up in 
. I really don’t want to watch tit riders just after their five mins of fame 
I don’t really see what the issue is regardless. Plenty of people with an age gapI’ve lurked only here for a while but just had to make an account to say this..
