One of my all-time favourite vlogs! Almost nothing makes me happier than when a troubled pony gets a lovely home! I'm sure he'll be so happy with you. And what a star! Powerful back end, tight knees, beautiful balance and a sweet personality! Such an exciting new partnership! Look at you, with your string of ponies! So exciting. Also love the pics of Justine at Burghley etc. So cool!

Thanks Lauren! He’s such a sweetie Im very happy 😃
Congratulations on Ember’s addition to your string. He looks very sweet and can’t wait to see how you grow together. Thoroughbreds are fantastic horses. One of the best horses I’ve ever owned was an ex-racehorse. He was the sweetest natured guy and would try his best at anything asked of him.
Well this was TOTALLY unexpected! Well done though Lucy on finding him, he is lovely chap and I've always had soft spots for x racers
He moves beautifully, I'm excited to see how he does going forward! It's good to hear that his former owners found him another home when he ended up not caring for racing, and it's wonderful that Justine took him in, and worked with him to get him into better shape physically, and mentally. He seems to be willing, based upon the little bit we've seen, so far. I'm really looking forward to seeing how things progress between the two of you!!
He seems like a little lovely horse. Can definitely see he isn’t 100% happy pony yet but cannot wait until he’s made that conversion. He’s very lucky to have landed with you and Justine etc etc . Excited to follow his eventing journey
he seems like a horse that needs to be loved and feel like he is a forever horse, he needs to have security in life, you have done a good thing giving him this chance. I also get the feeling he thinks a lot and with the right connection he will look after you, very handsome little guy although he gives the impression that he is bigger than he really is. I wish you both success in the future.
I love Ember he is so handsome, I think you and he will do very well! I am happy for you LucyI You have a big heart just like your hunting friend she seems like a great lady! 👍
Loved this vlog so much. I own and ride a 15hh mare and I'm close to 6ft tall. My girly is a power house and her height certainly hasn't ever stopped her being able to compete/try out multiple disciplines with hardly any effort. Their happiness in themselves and their environment is the catalyst. Looking forward to seeing more of your red head shorty ❤️❤️
Little pocket rocket very excited to see u both grow together
Love Justine! She is always so calm and interesting! also excited to see Ember and what you do with him - - what a surprise!
Made me laugh when she whispered he's never jumped before 🤣
Aw! What a lovely place for this good horse to land! He is going to be a STAR!
What a little superstar! Very exciting, he looks like he's ready to give his all for you, bless him. Well done for giving him a chance and the best shot at a new life and career. xx

What a cracking little horse Lucy! He definitely looks like he is going to be a super event horse, looking forward to watching you progress with him.
Oooh you can't beat an ex racer! I learnt to ride on them, then had a break (kids, life etc) and bought my very own one two years ago. He's the soppiest, friendliest horse ever and loves learning tricks. And is beautiful to ride :) Have fun with Ember. Justine is amazing!!
He looks fab, when you know you know! Justine seems brilliant.
Congrats Lucy he’s gorgeous 🧡 loved seeing Justine’s bullet memories too
I love the name Ember for that colour of horse . Glad you're trying to put weight on him , unlike some cultures that seem to want to have them with their ribs sticking out . They're naturally slender but they don't need to look starved.
So happy for Ember in his new career. He is a lucky boy to be with you. 🥰
He’s teeny tiny 🥰 good luck with him Also I thought Justine sounded like Pippa
You are going to be so busy!!!! Harry and Amber!! Love your videos Lucy 💗👍🐎
He looks like he will be a fun one to watch on the vlogs! Can’t wait to see what the future holds for you too! I often say the height of the horse really doesn’t matter as long as it has the heart, willingness to learn and ability that does. Edit: I haven’t finished watching the video yet but my I have just noticed that my mum has a photo of her on her 15.1 pocket rocket jumping the same/similar jump from Blenheim that has a large ditch in front and a brush fence behind!
Quirky and quick! My fav kinda horse. Bless him he’s so lovely.
Love Justine! Best video yet, I loved seeing her old photos and I want to see more of her house!🤭
Im in love 😍 What a fabulous little horse! Congratulations xx

Loving Ember already - he's got a huge rump on him -so he's made for X-Country, hunting, eventing and generally having a lot of fun with one another! Good Luck with him Luce! You've hooked up with a lovely couple of people here! xOx
Wow he is SERIOUSLY special! No wonder you bought him!
How exciting to watch you and Ember bond.
Justine is so lovely and Ember is absolutely gorgeous! Excited to watch your journey with him xx
Wow Lucy! I don’t normally like TBs but he is MEGA. His hind leg !!! Sounds like he is progressing really fast. Even though he is small you don’t look big on him and ride his beautifully. He has come a long way in a short time by the looks of things. Imagine where you will be in a year 😊🌟 Really excited for your future and to see where you are in a year ❤️

“Don’t normally like TBs?!” Those are fighting words!!😏😂 This gem of a guy, is proof that you can’t judge all Thoroughbreds the same. Never have I encountered a breed that comes in such an assortment of personalities. From crazy to calm. Also, the “TRY” they have within them, is unmatched. They give you their absolute ALL and then some.💗

@@karabnp87 I acknowledged that I haven’t judged all TBs the same , I like this one! It’s down to personal choice, what job you want them to do, and the build of the rider
He’d do SO well in the racehorse to riding horse show classes!!

Wonderful, love him and his story 💗 I've had 2 wonderful OTTBs in my life, now my grown daughter just rescued her first from a US k*ll pen, a lovely 4 year old mare who last raced only 2 months ago
I LOVE his trot! What a cool little guy. Congratulations :D
Omg Ember is beautiful Lucy you lucky girl he reminds me of a tb I rode in my days very quick with a huge heart I loved him. Your going to have so much fun with him. I also think you and Justine are such lovely friends and she’s a fabulous teacher for you she’s got a beautiful way with all her animals it’s so nice to watch. I’m looking forward to seeing you ride him.tfs😎🏇😎
Oh wow Lucy ! He is lush 🤩 I really really like him & his name. Also think Justine is bloody fab! So happy for you & can’t wait to see where you & Ember go! Xx
He is a very handsome boy he is an unusual choice for you but he looks like a lot of fun but you do not look to big on him I am really happy to follow Ember’s and your journey may you have lot’s of fun with him ❤️
He is absolutely gorgeous!! My ex racer was very introverted when I got her, but after time and lots of turnout with other horses she is now the best horse I have (also a redhead). TBs have a great attitude towards learning. He is going to be such fun, congratulations on finding him!
Oh my, he is a beauty, I'm glad for him that his racing owner found him a better situation. Well done! Justine seems such a dear!
Lovely boy. Love TBs. Intelligent and kind.
He looks super cute, congrats on making him yours- looking forward to watching your journey together.
Congrats! He's stunning. Look forward to seeing more of him. Big love to Justine too - love her! xx
Exciting, exciting news Lucy. He looks very handsome and such a gentleman. Like Justine mentioned it would of been great to see footage of him 6 weeks ago and see his progression. I love Justine. She reminds me of my wonderful riding instructor I had many years and ago 😁 She is a fabulous friend to have. Living in Cambridgeshire and if I had a horse I would love to ride with Justine and her hounds. It would be such an amazing ride. You are one very lucky lady Lucy and I can't wait to see what 2022 has in store for You, Laraghlee, Harry and Ember ❤
He's lovely! Such powerful movement for a smaller horse! Can't wait to see more on him 😍
Ember is stunning! I would have bought him in a heartbeat too 🤩
He is unreal Lucy he's one to watch!😍 cannot wait for this XC footage! I LOVE LOVE LOVE Ember! Also love your vlogs with Justine in! Xxx
How lovely is Justine!! ☺️ Lovely little horse, good luck with him Lucy xx
Congratulations with your new boy! Funny, our Fox Red Lab is called Ember too, because of the color!
Oh Lucy, I love his story and your kind heart is perfect for Ember. This is the beginning of something spectacular, I can just feel it in my soul.
Oh my goodness he is FABULOUS!
Hi Ember 💙! He is LUSH! Such a cutie 💙
Thankyou to u and Justine for giving him a chance and a gd life x
He’s a big one to watch !!!! Congratulations Lucy
Hello Ember! He looks like he will be an awesome partner for you. But wow! 3 horses?!? You will be kept quite busy I expect! Have fun!!

Yup 😂😂 Luckily in the week I can alternate ride-and-lead hacking with Harry and Laragh if I’m strapped for time!
His movement😍
Love him- he is” small but mighty,” just like Seabiscuit.
Thoroughbreds all the way! My ex racer is amazing and they turn into superb horses....ideal for eventing as their stamina is incredible! You will love it!
Oh, he's lovely! ❤ Congratulations! Gosh, I bet Laragh will love him too! 🥰
oh Lucy I'm so happy for you! I have an ex racer and he stands around 15.2 but is the most beautiful mover and is so efficient in his strides. size isn't everything! so excited for you journey with him 🥰
He looks so lovely! Cant wait to see your journey with him 💕
He’s lovely. Love the way he moves 😍
He is lovely 💕. Congratulations!!! Love the old pics!!!
So Exciting!! You look fabulous on him and he is lovely!! 🍀
A pocket rocket. Justine is epic too 🐴💜
Hi to Justine and Ember! Congratulations!
I think Lucy is just trying to collect a horse of every colour :p hes lovely i love chestnuts and OTTBs!!
Big surprise! Love a chunky TB, and he will be even better with more good feed. Lovely paces and outline, should do a good test. How exciting for team chasing Lucy, your team-mates would see even less of you!!
Lucky lucky horse 💖
My old racehorse was only 15hh but by crikey could he shift!! He was a little chestnut too! … very nice chap Lucy, can’t wait to see what you two get up to 🥰🧡🧡
OTTB are a way of life, welcome 🙏🏻 ☺
Awh I love him Luce! That canter looks so comfortable! So much power! Welcome to the OTTBs! You will never look back ;)
he is lovely good for you i look forward to seeing him come along 😍😍😍
Omg wow He is a pocket rocket! I bought a horse through Kate the wonderful Albi chestnut little pocket rocket Last year ! The hardest decision I had to sell as my mum was so ill and passed away 😔 I still can't believe life without her 💔 I will definitely be buying off kate when I'm ready. So looking forward to seeing your progress with Ember X
he definitely looks like he's woken up! :) The "pony" (15.3hh) that I can ride whenever I get the chance is a black fresian/boerperd(farmer's horse) and he switches off completely with too much arena time! I must admit, I'd give anything for a lesson or two with Justine lol Congrats hun, he looks amazing!!
He really steps out and under himself! Wow, you're gonna be a great team! 👍
Hi Ember...Welcome to KZread!! What a wonderful mover he is, has a super presence under saddle, looks like a star.
Yay for ginger horse!
You are a glutton for punishment, what a nice horse, can't wait to see him doing extended trot.
How exciting for you Lucy ☺️ What lovely paces! What a lovely back end and hind leg, bet you can't wait to get cracking with him x
Congratulations Lucy, he's lovely 😍
Ooooo can't wait for more Ember!!
How exciting cannot wait to see how you get on with him. He is gorgeous xx
He moves really nice Lucy and those knees over the cross pole you jumped amazing. Can’t wait to see your journey together 💕
those hounds are so well behaved
He's gorgeous 😍 I've always had a thing for chestnuts, probably why I ended up with one of my own 😂 he seems like he's progressing so well and you look like a good match xx
I've got a good feeling about this one! Once you two develop a partnership, he is going to progressly quickly and try his heart out for you.
Wow I remember seeing this boy advertised on the Acehorse page where he was so nappy in the school and wondering where he would end up! I've just sold my boy who I had from Kate due to having two young children and he was the kindest, loveliest boy, it's still very raw for me so seeing another ex racer from the same place has made me smile. So nice to see him having a second chance and loving life again! Good luck with him! X
What a power house!! Not a huge TB person but he's gorgeous - so cool!! Huge good luck with him x
10 mins agooo wooo hehe not addicted to equine vlogs * eye roll * gorgeous! such happy news!
He's so gorgeous!!! Just look at his coat!! Congrats Lucy!!!
Congratulations he's lovely 🤩

That's great news, he looks a little stunner. The Footluce team is growing. Wishing you the best of luck with Ember ❤🐎👍🏻 x.
Ember is very cute , hope he does well for you
How exciting. He looks fabulous. Good luck for the future with him. Xx
Congratulations Lucy. Ember is very handsome and looks like a lovely horse. This was a surprise, you really have your hands full now. I’m excited to see your journey together x x x
I confess that I thought that the big reveal was that you were putting Laraghlee in foal. Am so excited about the new horse. Suggested a Thoroughbred off the track ages ago to you on Instagram and you hinted that there was a new horse in the future. When Harry turned up, I thought he was the new horse. Definitely excited about Ember!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Beautiful hope you brighten up each others lives
Congradulations! TBS are the best, i had an ex race horse many years now, his name was Griffin,Full race name Griffin De Artist. a light bay, with two white socks on his back legs and a strip down his face, he was a small TB, but after some good food, grazing and retraining, he filled out and grown into a really good horse. Have fun with your new pony!!!! xxxx
