Simon Gives Me A Jumping Lesson On Bear
It’s been far too long since Bear and I had a jumping lesson, so who better for it than the only and only Simey! I unloaded all of the issues Bear and I have ever had together, and slowly we worked through them in true, calm, Simon style.
As for Bear, she brought her usual sass and a few opinions to the table, but with Simon's guidance, we stripped everything back to basics. This lesson wasn’t about big fences or flashy moves-it was about control, confidence, and getting Bear to work with me rather than against me.
If you’ve got a sharp or spooky horse, or you’re just looking for tips to refine your jumping basics, this is a must-watch. Simon’s advice was gold (as always), and Bear kept things interesting!
Let me know what you think in the comments, and don’t forget to like and subscribe if you want to see more lessons with Simon (and more of Bear’s antics).

Thank you, Meg, for showing the realities of spooky horses and how their behavior impacts our thinking and riding. I had a bad fall in a jumping lesson almost two years ago and I'm incredibly stressed about the idea of jumping again even though I'd love to again. I'm definitely doing this exercise soon, even just to introduce actual jumping wings again. Absolutely adore your content and how you keep it real (with a sense of humor of course). Looking forward to vlogmas! :)
Thats crazy i have a Gelding named Bear lol
it will be handy!! this is very needed for my wild chestnut mare that I've previously showjumped to 1.20m but have also re-broken about 6 times in her life 🤦♀ all and any ideas to help lol
Bear is such a lovely girl ❤
Well done 🎉 I love your videos
he looks kinda dun to me x
Best lesson ever, Simon for your intuitive sensitive teaching, Meg for your generous honesty and patience and Bear as a great teacher of awareness and staying in the present moment, just brilliant. Well done all three.
You can do it ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤:)
The guy in the White inthe back that rides the grey and bay...
I’m going to try some of these exercises! Earl gets like this, rushes fences. Then I get jolted around, left behind, struggle to slip my reins and he starts anticipating that I’ll do it 😅!
So appreciate these types of videos from you! I have a quirky spooky Welsh that appears to ride quite similar to Bear and I tried this out in my most recent jump school with her. What a difference 👌 my mare was so much more confident and relaxed having a wee pop. And for the first time ever she managed to get good strides and didn't overjump. Feel like I should be paying Meg and/or Simon for it 🤣 Oh. And another vote to see Simon jump Bear 🙏 do it for all of us at home who'd love a wee go on that absolute belter of a pony 💕
You are a great rider, like me you let your fears take over. But you really are a very able rider.
Wow lol
I didn’t know you could ride ponies tf
GO WILMA ❤🎉
Mode vlogs like this pls!
Well done Wilma 👏 😊
Etties forelock! ❤
Simon has such a good energy to him. I adore the way he teaches and relates to both the rider and the horse.
Geez I'm wondering what color she actually is is she considered like a silver or a buckskin?
As someone with a horse that acts a lot like bear, this video was so helpful! My mare doesn’t think twice at a grid but a single pole on the ground or a single fence? The world ends😂 My trainer has definitely tried to get after this same point but a lot of things just clicked watching this. Thanks for the amazing video!❤
Does the UK have Lyme disease? First thing we test for in the US is lymes disease if our horses start getting weirdly spooky.
Beautiful video of the ponies having fun in the snow ❄️ 😊
I may be completely wrong but I got the feeling Bear is very slightly lame. More on the right rein than the left and very subtle - and it might just be a head carriage thing. Don’t shoot me but it was something I just noticed in the video. Don’t want to be a kill joy at all. She a gorgeous pony ❤️
Funny how I've always loved Bear and I've somehow ended up with a mare with very similar character traits! my trainer also tells me to kind of make it feel like it's her idea😂 she's awesome!
Wilma just loves her job🎉. It is great to see you developing such trust in each other. Meg, you have become a strong, confident, and forward rider. Your partnership is a joy to watch❤
She’s been missing on the channel recently!
Isnt there a video of him riding (and even jumping) bear??? I thought I saw one a while ago…
I'm so sorry Meg but jam can jump higher so Ellie.
I love your ponies. You are amazing. Such an inspirational story ❤
Thank you so much for posting this. I found it very helpful for my Welsh D mare. ❤
Any day with a new Simon vid is a good day! He is such a thoughtful calm presence. ❤
I understand that bear is a spooky horse and you’d rather not lose your stirrups, but I would recommend bringing your stirrups down one or two holes. Not criticizing, just recognizing!!
OMG if you ever sold Ettie I would beg my mum to enquire about her she is sooooooooooo cute and sweet ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What is the plan for Dee next year?
Love Simon..He really understands how horses think..Bear is such a typical, busy brained, over thinking Welsh mare. Slightest change..and its terrifying...my welsh mare was exactly the same. And could be very cheeky...especially if someone other than me rode her..take the pee. Welshies are hilarious. Not the easiest pony to ride..But once you know thier wierd quirks..😂😂😂 Yes it will be an experience for Simon. Bear is the most amazing pony..xx
So useful. Exactly what I was doing with sharp horses & ponies in the 1980s 😀.
This is exactly my type of horse I fear
Wonderful learning lesson!
Soo reall
Simon on bear right now!!!!
I think Wilma’s one of my faves! She’s so gorgeous and her personality is beyond perfect❤
We love you Meg the barn looks great and❤horse love messing it up 😂well done you can keep it up enjoy Spain 🇪🇸
Totally love watching your lessons with Simon! He is SO cool and there is always something to learn!
😍😍😍
I LOVE KEYSOE ❤
Meg Wilma is absolutely stunning she is so pretty you did a wonderful job on her your so talented and pretty, I love all your ponies but especially bear , Dee, jam and of course Wilma , I love bear so much because of her energy her cuteness❤ love you Meg ❤❤❤
I love the boots, what kind?? AND I LOVE YOUR VIDS
So pretty in the snow!! Lovely to see Vali's reaction 😊
I absolutely loved the way simon approached bear refusing the poles in the first try and gradually lead her to trotting perfectly contently over the poles without even thinking about it! Love Bear!
