I feel like the living room decor being so symmetrical makes it feel fake and very uninviting

how does she film her videos as in she posts twice a week and the video has multiple days in it so does she vlog a whole week then split it into 2 videos cause it doesn’t add up
---
Her style doesn’t suit her.

I think she films for half a day then films the rest of the day for the next vlog.
 
Watching now. Once a week as an adult will take her many years to become reasonable .

when I was going up the levels I had my own horses and I went and rode a very well known riders horses , so I was riding 3 different horses of hers psg- gp level in one day and I was there 3 x pw plus riding at home . The journey to train on other horses was 3 hrs each way. That’s dedication. That’s the only way to go up the scales. Ride as many horses as you can pw and the right type for what the aim is.

the bay horse looks very unhappy with her on . He is grafting in pain and resisting her contact . There’s a lot which needs correcting and her downward transition to halt should be instant halt . She trots then runs the horse into a gradual halt. Which I get she’s apparently “learning” but it will train the bay horse that he can be sloppy into the halt and that’s ok. She’s wrecking these horses . She should go to a school and ride school horses not peoples prized possessions .

But she’s not professing to be be a top class dressage rider? Nor is she riding your ‘top Grand Prix’ horse. She’s just having fun with her horses and there’s nothing wrong with that other than letting idiots like Lydia ride them. I’m not sure what your horse and what he can do has to do with anything?
Putting down someones position, ability or skill or being snobby about their breed or choice of horse is the reason that people think riding is elitist, it does nothing to help the reputation of the sport. Not everyone wants to go round in boring circles on a horse, some people want to jump, hack, event, show jump, hunt, play polo, they all require a different level of skill, different position, different breed of horse and as long as you have the basics which this girl clearly does who are you to judge her? I’m sure whilst you were in the early days of training your ‘top grand prix’ horse you weren’t perfect.

I don’t like to get into arguments with fellow Tattler’s and if a Tattler criticises my posts or says something I disagree with I don’t bother responding and I just move on.
However, I have to respond to your post criticising a fellow Tattler Ella for her views and not sure why you feel the need to do this? She is clearly a horse lover and knowledgeable on horse riding etc. Just find your post odd. If you respond this I won’t be replying.
 
I’m pretty sure she’s wearing an alo yoga top which was a brand I’d mentioned a bit back.

She’s thinking of which Pilates reformer to buy!. She needs a merrithew with tower and all accessories. They had a deal in April with big discount . I wonder if she will go for something inexpensive

I’m surprised she hasn’t had a go at tennis core or Padel core. Chloe and sometimes Josie play Padel at Bamford . You haven’t even got to be a The Club Bamford member to play Padel there .

Lydia could have cashed in linking to the stunning Varley club sets they have done this season . She could be honest she’s learning .. I know it’s a novel idea 😂

Ooh she’s off clay shooting but that looks like next vlog . From the description of the day she might be going to Royal Berkshire shooting school, I’ve been and really love it there. A mix of shots - a lot of challenging shots there, but they will probably be taken around the easier stuff.

lol she seems to feed a carrot or something substantial to the horse and is puzzled why he’s struggling to eat it - because she fed him with a bit in his mouth !. Anything substantial is best being fed when the bridle is off .

😂 she has mentioned she is saddle sore after sitting trot !! 😂 knew it. She will probs swell up in the nether regions 😂 Ali’s getting none for a week 😂 he’s probably relieved to be let off the duty 😂

I’m not sure why you think I have attacked you? Maybe look at some of the comments you make on here? You seem to take real offense to anyone forming an opinion that doesn’t align with yours and then accuse people of attacking you. It’s a cycle, you appear across a few forums and it’s the same there too. In fact it seems like Tattle is a full time job of yours when you’re not at Daylesford taking photos of influencers that is or flexing about having lunch with your friends who own mansions, or helicopters or run successful businesses and take you to all the hospitality that the influencers you so love to hate go to? Do they know how much time and effort you put into this site?

My very point that you seem to dislike so much is that horses are a leveller. You don’t need the best to have fun and be talented. You don’t need a hugely expensive trainer if you don’t aspire to that level. I never actual said she was a good rider, I said she had the basics and she was brave. You are taking a photo, a single moment in someone’s life, a fragment of someone’s joy and belittling it on the internet for your own amusement.

This thread is about Lydia not some poor girl foolish enough to open her stable door to her.

I’m sure you have put me on ignore because you don’t like what I am saying, but the others haven’t. One thing you should know about me, other than my background which you kindly bought up, is I really dislike it when people belittle someone’s dream, maybe it was my upbringing, reading books on manners in my library whilst wearing my signet ring, with my horses and ponies who were loved and ridden however the hell I wanted to ride them and believe it or not I was actually very successful, maybe because I rode intuitively not with some jumped up points laden instructor telling me what to do. Anyone can learn to ride it doesn’t make you a good horseman or woman.

I’m done with Tattle it’s been really soured and to be honest the level in which you dig to get details on influencers , their homes, their friends, cars, lives is creepy!

I'm a professional interior designer and I'm FULL of major criticism of her interiors (and more). Everyone here humors my posts or moves past them. The issue I have with ALL OF HER HOBBIES are the blatant LIES.

I have no idea what any of the horse experts are saying but they are allowed to have their opinion same as you and really I think this is all rooted in calling out Lydia's LIES not calling her out on being inexperienced.

I was OK with your counter opinions until you just called us all creepy. IF you don't like tattle then Goodbye

I also VALUE the pics sent in from Daylesford and the boots on the ground reporting from local tattlers. I live in the US and am so curious what these influencers are like in the wild. Keep it up tattlers!

Wow really? She just came back from "riding" and says her feet hurt from the boots and she is FILTHY but will not be changing to hang out with her dad and go to the pub!

I'm not a horse rider but I would imagine it would be important to change to clean clothes and wash up after being in the dusty arena and on the horse. She took as much time unpacking the art as it would take to clean up!
 
Boots can really smell , if you walk across a yard and pick bits up on the boots or tiny traces of horse poo can be in the arena surface - she should be in the habit of leaning against on in the boot of the car and putting them in a boot bag , then putting on fresh footwear to drive . If horse wee and poo smells get into a car carpet they never seem to entirely go away!.

Also the thick velvet hat she has will produce the sweatiest hat hair ever. Even with a mask or samshield hat, hair ends up damp with sweat. Those old velvet creations just aren’t cutting edge design within vents , they are super sweaty !.

I’ve heard of people being asked to leave shops /supermarkets for going in with horse boots and outfits . It’s not ideal to go to a meal in one .


I’m starting to think she’s after a Holland cooper deal. Even linking to their horsey products would bring in ££ it’s so popular . She’s advertised links to Alex colls fave brand le Mieux .

Also think it’s content. It would be content if her friend pushes her into doing an unaffiliated walk trot dressage comp !. “My first competition”. I can see it now .

wow such a good point... she's walking around her home and kitchen... and everywhere in the boots that probably walked in poo. Is there NO LIMIT to her grossness?! Plus she said her ankles hurt but didn't take the time to take them off for that reason either.
 
She might be wearing workout socks and they are rubbing . She should be in long riding socks ..

My instructor friend who is an instructor for a tiny riding school , she loves native breeds, she’s not being bitchy or snobby . Her thoughts were that the person helping is allowing her to look like a plonker filming her when Lydia says “can we go 1 mile an hour faster”. She describes Lydia’s kicks in the sit trot video as too severe and too much like a karate chop to the horses stomach. If Lydia was on a lunge then the person at the end of the lunge would be sending the horse forward and Lydia wouldn’t need to kick .

Someone must recognise this yard . Yards are incredibly gossipy. You can’t take anyone to visit a yard without everyone wanting to know who they are and why they are there etc. She must be the talk of the barn . They will all be gossiping behind her back.

When they find out she’s an influencer and start googling I reckon someone from that yard will end up here 😂.

Some yards wouldn’t like the arena being used by someone’s friend . You aren’t supposed to enter a tack room unless you are the owner of the horse on a livery yard for security of everyone’s stuff. Where saddles cost 5k it’s serious . I wonder what the yard manager/owner thinks. If Lydia oversteps the mark she will probably soon get told off.

I’ve had a thought!. She bought box leather boots and like I said they are stiff as hell and suited to dressage comps . She will get soreness around the shin bone if she’s not careful in them .

She should have bought soft deniros I mentioned about a year ago .
 
What in the? This is her idea of a shooting outfit? She calls the shirt her “lord of the manor” shirt

And she tailored the pants and vest. Pants look like they are on backwards and are ass forward. She made the top part so tight that the fit looks crazy!

She said we are not ready for her fall autumn outfits. No ma’am I am not.

But then people wouldn’t notice what an equestrian she is 😂
