Lucinda Green XC Academy Reviews 25

The LG academy is amazing- it's not just about improving your riding but also about forming a community of like minded people who all share the same passion. There is so much support and the video learning is amazing. Next season I am determined to make it to a LG camp. There are so many amazing contributors too and the group experts and the team are fantastic. I would highly recommend for anyone who is horsey- particularly if your interest is in XC but a lot of the skills taught apply to other disciplines. Lucinda has been one of my personal heroes since I was a young girl so it is a privelige to learn from
her. Rachel is also amazing and so nice, everyone on the team are lovely. I hope the academy continues to grow and inspire for years to come ❤️

Just brilliant to get advice from somebody with Lucinda Green's record of excellence who has proven herself over and over again. The way the course is set out is great. Videos are short and to the point and stuffed full of tips and advice that have made a huge difference to my confidence and mindset and given me a framework to build the training of my horse on, so that she can build confidence as well! When horse and rider are both lacking confidence, as we have been, then progress is always going to be lacking, but when horse and rider find they can build confidence, then it feels as though the possibilities are out there! I am so pleased that I signed up!

Last year (2023) I lost my trainer and was on my own with a new, young horse. I stumbled upon Lucinda’s community and signed up for her Green Print academy. I learned so much over the course of the year, not only from a riding perspective but how to help my young horse and I learn new things together. I realized very early on that I did NOT have a ready for trouble seat and quickly adjusted my position. This was the single best skill to help me feel more confident and comfortable riding out-and stay on my horse! There are so many other useful tips, strategies and tricks that I learned that have all helped us on our XC journey.
Thank you again for making this available!

My daughter and I love being members of the Lucinda Green XC Academy. It's wonderful that Lucinda passes down her invaluable knowledge and experience and my daughter gets an awful lot out of it. We also signed up for the XC Masterclass which is definitely well worth the money. If you haven't joined Lucinda's Academy already I would highly recommend it.

I joined the Lucinda Green XC Academy for instruction in cross country riding after becoming disenchanted with several other online programs that offered nothing besides a video library. I was pleasantly surprised to find so much more from Lucinda, including weekly interactive discussions via Zoom with Lucinda and other upper level riders and experts in related fields, from training principles to choosing tack to sports psychology; a progressive and interactive video program of Lucinda’s Greenprint principles of safer and more successful xc riding and training; and formal and informal feedback from Lucinda on every topic imaginable related to eventing. The other bonus is an entire support network of other members from all over the world, of different levels, abilities, and ambition, who celebrate or commiserate with you (depending on the day!) I'm even getting in better physical shape thanks to various challenges developed by qualified fitness instructors! I now feel like I have a program of training for myself and my horse that I can have confidence in, and a place to get help when I’m not sure of something. I’m not aware of any other online riding program that can provide this degree of personal instruction. It’s truly unique.

You will never regret joining the academy no matter what level of rider you are. I have really learnt so much and refreshed my memory of things that I had perhaps not worked on enough in recent times. Highly recommend.

I signed up to the LG XC academy in Feb 2021, because Lucinda resonated with me as being a true teacher i.e. someone that has been able to learn how to convert vastly complex topics into simple concepts, a difficult voyage into simple next steps, and steer you on to the right path on your long journey of continuous improvement with our wonderful horses.
My expectations have been fulfilled! It’s a lovely group of like-minded riders from all over the world, all with friendly and supporting attitudes. Since joining the Academy I have become much more focused in my own strength and fitness. I have become a much better rider and lost over 10 kg in weight. Whilst I have not yet actually evented, I have ridden to advanced level in Working Equitation (another multi-phased sport) and have since come to realise that cross country riding probably always was my biggest calling. So, after a year of learning the foundations from an expert, 2022 will be my breakthrough year! The Academy has also helped me with the training of my youngster, who is now backed and looking forward to his first XC schooling session. The group has also helped me through a very difficult few months when I unexpectedly and devastatingly lost my main horse and had to get through various other dramas including concussion from a bad fall, recurrent colic and a horse standing on three legs after an accident during turnout.

I am an amateur rider ad have had a series of set backs. The acadamy is fun , it gives a structure available to riders of any standard , inspiration , a sense of community, fascinating insights and encourages a positive constructive approach to my way forward with my pony

Fantastic way to gain insights from the best xc rider ever 😍

Lucinda’s infinite insights into cross country, both riding and how horses learn, along with her thirst to continue expanding her (and our) knowledge is something every rider can benefit from! Becoming privy to even a tiny morsel of her wisdom is a priceless privilege ! I’m eternally gratefully to her for sharing her passion as she has made me into the rider and horse trainer I am today. Thank you lucinda!

This academy has been incredible to learn new techniques and perspectives that have completely changed the way I approach my young horses' training! I love the positive and encouraging energy and advice from the community.

Amazing tutorials and support. I’ve gained a huge amount of knowledge and confidence in my riding especially in jumping. Highly recommended ⭐️

Many of the members are long time Lucinda fans, I however had never heard of Lucinda 🙈 (*I’ve never done eventing before). But following the academy’s exercises, the interviews, her books, you can’t not become a Lucinda fan. Sounds weird maybe, but I now realise I somehow saw my horses as a tool to practice my sport, I only now start to understand the true partnership, the division of tasks between rider and horse. As an extra the academy members form a fantastic support group. I love it!

The most amazing group of like minded people, following the advice of the wonderful Lucinda and her super relented guests. Personally it is the best thing I did last year and even though eventing is difficult where I live the advice transfers to the other disciplines.

Worth every penny, the academy has been invaluable in improving my riding and knowledge

I am preparing to return to eventing after a bit of a break, and the technical training and support from the XC Academy has really taught me a lot, as well as giving me at home exercises to do which build technique and confidence

This is an amazing insite into xc riding. The interviews are so helpful and easy to listen to whenever and wherever you are as you can download them. So refreshingly achievable with top tips and plans.
The community spirit amongst the members is second to none, with help and support at every step of the way.
I love the green print and I find Lucinda amazing and fascinating. I will remain a member for ever!

Lucinda’s Academy has been so fascinating, enlightening and educational. We are so lucky that she is so passionate about both her mission and dedication to the Academy.
Lucinda has so many endless pearls of wisdom herself in every webinar and she also so many great world class names and contacts in different fields of expertise she calls on for diverse wonderful interviews and advice.
I didn’t enrol for the very first intake as initially on the surface (without investigating further) I thought the Academy was a fairly meaty investment, particularly as I was already a member of a prominent eventing trainer’s online members group too.
However after becoming increasingly frustrated at the lack of content, repetitiveness and lack of quality of the other member’s group, I decided to take the plunge to cancel that subscription and enrol in Lucinda’s Academy.
I love it and have learnt so much and haven’t remotely regretted my decision once! So much better value for money for the wonderfully diverse quality of expertise and content.
Even better too when you have access to the whole Academy back catalogue in the “Hub” !
Another bonus is that running and car journeys are no longer so tedious when you can log in and listen to playbacks!
I would recommend the Academy to anybody who enjoys improving both themselves with their riding and their horse, and also their competition management and knowledge.
Thank you so much Lucinda and Rachel!

Within 6 months of joining The Academy we had regained our MER and had our best result ever at a higher level. I would never have believed virtual coaching would have such a huge effect on our results. The exercises demonstrated are pure cross country gold. On top of which listening to Lucinda debate a variety of equestrian topics with the elite of the sport is both fascinating and educational especially when there are differing opinions and techniques under discussion.

I have learned so much since joining this academy. Lucinda is absolutely wonderful and so is Rachael, who organises everything. She has incredible world class guests - but Lucinda herself is world class and is hugely knowledgeable and helpful.
