RIDING A GRAND PRIX DRESSAGE HORSE ABROAD...
Welcome to part 2 of my new travel series, as we continue our exploration of the enchanting world of equestrian in Portugal. In this episode, I had the incredible opportunity to ride a magnificent Grand Prix Lusitano dressage stallion. See how this compares to the last time I rode a horse of this level, and nearly fell off.

THE ACCIDENTAL SPANISH WALK IS SENDING ME. LOVE YOU SO MUCH MEG ❤😂
Your laughs when he gives you free spanish walks are everything omg
Amazing ride! I loved how pleasant and soft spoken the trainer was, and the way he gave positive reinforcement for your work.
What a beautiful generous stallion! That Spanish Walk was legend! What did I do? Nothing he says, but I'm the star of this show 😊It's been a joy to watch you ride these different horses (Vlogmas too) with so much poise, balance and harmony. Inspiring really. The Portuguese are rightly proud of their Lusitanos!

As a portuguese, I love the breeds of my country. I am really proud that Lusitanos are also succeding on other sports other than mounted equitation (not sure if its the name) and Bullfighting (and, ofc, normal riding, lol).
What an amazing horse, and a lovely instructor. His point of view about putting the horses first really comes through in how that stallion behaves. What a happy lovely horse, and amazing when he gave you the Spanish walk 'for free'. Such a sweetheart.
I'm just watching the intro and honestly Meg your vlogs are so professional! The filming and editing is just in another league. Congratulations and please know watching your vlogs is like watching a mainstream channel!!

@@elphick.event.ponies yep you and your team are definitely top-tier KZread!!!
I love the fact he’s like here wanna see something cool ~Spanish walk~
And isn’t it a joy to watch this classical harmonious training compared to the often unhappy horses in top level FEI…
That horse deserves everything ❤❤, he was absolutely amazing, and you were so good on him! You are such a good rider!
Martin’s voice is the same calm vibe as the cool luisitanos. Love this Meg!
It’s always so nice to see how much these horses love their job that they’ll even do it on their own terms 🥰
He seemed to be so comfortable with you, Meg💞. Your softness and your balance. And the joy! Like little love bombs exploding in your heart when you rode those incredible moves! Horses are happy around you. Genuinely! 💝THANK YOU💝 Bem impressionante! 👌😍
Jumping and eventing is fun and all but dressage truly has my heart. Done properly the relationship you build through training and the art of it just brings me to tears sometimes.
He’s an absolutely brilliant teacher! Wow, so calm and clear and what a truly special horse! You worked so well together this was incredible to watch ❤
"He lost impulsion because you were smiling" gave me Ritch vibes ahahaha
What a sweet, well-trained horse! Well done!! Really well done 👍
That horse is incredibly well trained!!!❤
What a generous gorgeous horse. Well ridden Meg. ( Wouldn’t he and DeeDee have a lovely baby!)

A very good lesson for you. The lusitaner is showing you how to do. 😂so funny when the horse start spanish walk and meg don't know what she did😂 This horse looks very sensitive. Collect, flying change, well done meg🥰
What an amazing feeling for you to be able to ride a grand prix horse. And what a well behaved stallion.
This seemed like such a nice positive lessoon, he was so good at describing what you should do to push the buttons, what an opportunity ❤ and it looked like you had a blast!
THIS IS SO COOL!! OMG they literally kept Meg's grey obsession going in Portugal! lol
You have the best opportunities I swear ❤😭
Meg your face was fantastic through all of this 😂 the shock, the wow 😂 Fantastic, loved it x
He showed off his tricks for you with that spanish walk!!!! So freakin cute 😂😂❤❤❤
Just amazing to watch. The horse was fantastic but u also rode so so well and with such confidence too. Loved watching it. It's one place I have always wanted to go ❤❤
Now that's a gorgeous horse😍😍
What a FABULOUS experience! You did amazing Meg! What an incredible horse and a kind and gentle instructor

Very nice facility. You sure grinned a lot! Nice to see you looking so content!
I love the trainer! He is so calming and kind yet firm. ❤
Beautiful! Yes, would make a great wedding venue. You rode the Lusitano extremely well Meg! I'm in love with that Stallion! Yes, a shorter stride with them. Once again remind me of the Andalusians. Basically, they have a feeling of riding a rocking horse. Smooth!
Meg riding the Lusitano looked somewhat challenging. I owned a Quarter/Thoroughbred cross, then a Thoroughbred. I was lucky to ride a Paso Fino on a Paso Fino saddle. The trainer told me at the end of the riding session l was a natural. Watching you ride Meg, l would love to try riding a Lusitano. I thoroughly enjoyed watching!!
Wow! So glad you weren't afraid to hide your appreciation for this wonderful horse!
I think that gorgeous stallion would make an excellent partner for Dee! A little Lusitano x Connie foal would be amazing! 😍
FANTASTIC Meg!!! I loved this vlog!!! ❤️ Beautiful Stallion 😍 Well done, you rode him great x
What a wonderful experience, I think riding with a longer leg certainly aids your balance and feel for your horse. Well done you looked great.
I love watching your videos! I'm so exited to watch.
Oh he is so lovely! He is so willing to teach you the ropes, and you rode him so well!!
Incredible, that horse was awesome, so well trained and so beautiful. That place perfect for a wedding.
Love this video! So interesting to learn more about Dressage and the Lusitano Breed.
That looked fantastic and felt wonderful. You looked good doing it too, Meg. Congrats on your new sponsor and the horizons it's opening for you. :)
Hi Meg 😊 Beautiful video. Many years ago I saw a video of a cat that grew up in a show horse stable and it walked around doing the Spanish Walk LOL 😂 So cool 👍 Thanks for sharing.
What an absolutely amazing experience!
"the canter is like music, and you are the musician."
Well done Meg. I’m loving this series xx
You are such a great rider I ride western and hoping to start jumping with my trainers horse
THat is so cool that you could have that experience!!!! Love you Meg!!!
Wow he certainly is a super talented horse what a beautiful mover. Meg you did so well on him so be proud of yourself it totally makes sense of what your trainer said it’s pretty much like a love affair and it’s beautiful when done correctly. Looking forward to seeing the next vlog this is fab to watch.tfs😎🏇😎
I came here after watching you riding the Grand Prix horse, Meshicano looks so tiny compared with the other one. But he is an awesome horse. Interesting to know he born in Mexico and brought to Portugal.
Aw the free spanish walk was great, he's so cute! :)
Your genuine smile makes me full to the brim with happiness, it's amazing to see!
Glad u loved our horses kk thise are our best breed I would say but we also have sorraia, garrano, pónies da terceira(ponies!!), amd now thanks to the great elote black lusitano breeder, Ortigão Costa, we are creating luso-warmbloods descendents from the great morlands totilas. It's also worth mentioning de royal alter horses wich are a rather old kind of lusitano line
I think once you experience the feel it’s easier to recreate ❤ what a beautiful boy ( the horse of course ) well done and thanks for sharing
As a new member of the Lusitano world, I was so excited to see you having such a wonderful time on one!
I love your videos!❤️
What a great vlog.. And what a gorgeous horse!!!
AHH STOP WHEN HE STARTED SPANISH WALKING THAT WAS SO CUTE I CANT DEAL
'the canter is like music and the rider is the musician' WOW.
