Here is what a few of our XC Academy Members Have to Say:
Sometimes, though, they wonder if their horse really wants what is best for them.
The frustration you feel when your horse stops dead at the most innocuous fence on the course or simply refuses to jump the ditch or enter the water. You become more red in the face as you kick and kick with no reaction. Everyone is watching and you simply don’t know what more you could have done.
Leaving the Show Jumping with the dreaded 4 faults (AGAIN) thinking, “why can’t I just do it right the whole way round?”
“My rounds just don’t flow and I just cannot see that stride that everyone talks about”.
You either grip on with trepidation, shortening your reins at every leap sideways.
OR You feel the anger or doubt swelling inside you every time your horse stops dead and threatens to run backwards. You don’t want to be angry and you most certainly don’t want to be scared.
So what can you do???

So what can you do???
After decades of teaching, these problems and so many more come up time and time again. The good news is, they are not as difficult as you might think, once you know how.
Could people really learn to train xc and jump online?
The answer is a resounding YES.
Since we started, 3 years ago, 1000’s of riders have signed up to the Membership or
joined my courses and the feedback is phenomenal.
Don't just take our word for it - listen to what our members say
My XC training principles apply no matter what your discipline.
As soon as you join The Lucinda Green Academy you are granted instant access to:
Lucinda’s SYSTEM (aka The “Greenprint”)
to train a horse to trust his rider and therefore love his job (whatever that job may be)
Life with horses is two steps forward and one step back. But the best keep pushing forward.
None of us want to hurt our horses or ourselves or mess up our plans. We want to be prepared for anything that might be ahead.
And avoid the embarrassment of the walk of shame.
I have been there.
Lucinda’s framework to confident XC. This is her fundamental principles and training which she has used with her own horses and in her coaching for over half a century.
It's a step by step approach aimed at developing the crucial trust required for confidence of horse and rider throughout the levels. It is also a useful place to revisit when things go wrong.
Access a community of riders who share the struggles and are working to overcome them.
Swap thoughts, explore successes and failures and dive into the fears and limitations that stop you from being your best riding self.
With help from myself and my team of professionals across the world, find a safe space finally to be the rider you’ve always wanted to be.
Each month Lucinda releases 4 new pieces of content. The video lesson Challenge (where you can win prizes for doing the work) and 3, yes 3 LIVEs.
Insider Info, the Q&A and Management Mondays. You will have direct access to ask your questions LIVE to Lucinda and her guests. (all available on replay)

How will I ever find the time?
Don’t worry, we have laid out all the most important videos in an easy to watch format
and we have called it:
As soon as you join you will be on that Path along with fellow members to support you.
Stage 1: The Foundation
Whether you are competing, Advanced or jumping 60 cms you need to start here. It holds my philosophies, tools and exercises, that once mastered will provide a foundation from which you can develop.
This is the Greenprint, your "Go To", when things go wrong.
If you miss this step out now, you will find that you will need to return later.
Stage 2: Stay Safe
Safe riders stay on board and safe horses stay on their feet. This stage is all about ensuring that you and your horse are, "Ready4Trouble".
Embellish your own balance and allow your horse to use his initiative to stay on his feet.
Stage 3: Let's be Technical
During this stage we are going to help you ensure that your horse is afraid of nothing, will hold a line, jump a skinny, corner, ditch, drop and love going in and out of water.
XC has changed in the last 30 years but the fundamentals remain. Your horse needs to want to jump whatever is in front of him and you need to make sure he is in a mental and physical position to do so.
We will have fun instilling this into you both, but always, to begin with, over small fences.
Stage 4: Compete
Now you have your foundation from Stage 1,2,& 3 we are ready to compete (and for those of you who already are - compete better. Competition adds a whole new level of pressure. Along with dealing with the day,
Stage 5: Move up the levels
Remember when I asked you to think, where do you want to be in a few years time? You are getting close now. Preparing for the next level is a special skill. It is this stage where you will ensure you are ready.
The plan holds you on the right track but your friends give you the shove you need to keep going…

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.
ANNA MARIJE ANNA WORM

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!
SARAH CLARK

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!
MARY TEARNEY

I joined the Academy on the first intake and am so glad I did! I no longer ride regularly (aged 70) but have a daughter and granddaughter who do so this gives me a chance to stay involved in the xc world.
I believe the skill of safe cross country riding is vital to the future of both eventing and hunting. I fence judge at unaffiliated events and feel the Academy has so much to offer to many competitors.
Above everything, it is fun to be a member and Lucinda is inspirational.
M. BROWN

This group is extra special! Lucinda and Rachael are incredibly informative and supportive. I really look forward to the webinars which are really friendly with direct access to legends of our sport!
Sometimes I need to pinch myself as it feels like we are all sitting around a superstar’s kitchen table having a chat! Couldn’t recommend it more highly.
CAROL

Joining the Academy will be the best money you spend on yourself and your horse.
The value is incredible – 4 sessions every month, each of the highest quality of content including the Q&A EVERY MONTH with Lucinda herself.
If you cannot make the live sessions, everything is filed in the Members Hub for you to dip into when you have the time, and to re-watch for reminders and more inspiration.
Maybe the un-anticipated bonus of the On-Line Group is the supportive community that now exists between the members – everyone has a story that someone can relate to. Join!
You will not regret it!

I have mixed feelings about recommending this group. I love it so much and the size/people is just perfect! lol!
Eventers in general are a generous, supportive group of hard core competitors and this group is full of folks who want to have serious fun!
I very much enjoy the laughs and the incredible instruction and insights shared here!

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.
ALEX

This is an amazing insight 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 Greenprint and I find Lucinda amazing and fascinating. I will remain a member for ever!

I joined the XC Academy when it first started and have loved it!
I have been able to keep up with the lessons on my own time as my schedule doesn’t always allow for me to tune in to the scheduled live zooms.
I listen to them while I feed, ride, shop, drive, etc. It has really helped to keep me mentally sharp and prepared for competitions.
Lucinda’s passion for teaching is so evident and she has such wonderful guests on the zoom meetings.
Having the academy community has also been wonderful! We share each other’s triumphs and struggles.
At a recent Lucinda clinic I was able to meet several academy members and we had a lovely time as if we had known each other for years.
MR. BEVAN

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.
JOJO SENTANCE

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.
AMANDA

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.

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 am an amateur rider ad have had a series of set backs.
The academy 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.

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.

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 Rachael!

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.

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.
