Bear was so good! From your intro, thought she would be a little monster! Well done. Jam looks rideable one minute, then loses it a bit! Lovely jump though. Have been browsing other similar channels lately, and yours, Meg is by far the best, in my opinion! Natural, funny and educational. Thankyou!
Funny comments and nice ponies :) Love how you're always smiling when doing the tests! And feel ya on the post-dressage evaluations, I usually get better marks than my self-critical estimates say :P
Every time that little 🛎 rang in the song that accompanied your elementary test I had a little heart attack. I thought you’d gone off course, since you obviously care more about baked goods than you do learning your test. 😁
When you did dressage with Bear you think you had trouble in the first round I think the lady in the ring next to you had more and I think Jam and her jumping she is just like a kid arguing with there parent of who knows best but considering she has not done much I think she went fab so congratulations to you hobbit and ponies
I was thinking the same.. in fact, it reminded me of when my horse took offense at an arena fence and nearly reversed into the neighbouring elementary test (whilst I was trying to trot round the boards before doing a prelim) 😬
I had a Sec D for 23 fun filled years. Sometimes it just wasn’t his turn to have the brain cell! But I got used to the five different types of trot, the good, the bad, the ugly, boneshaker/bladder rattler and the flat out flying one that left everyone else for dust. Plus he saved me from invisible lurking dragons and taught me to be brave. Gotta love a Welsh❤️❤️❤️
Oh my goodness thank you so much for turning the audio off for the music in your second test - I love all of your background music but I was tempted to turn the sound completely off because of the wind haha the wind is the bain of my life right now (as I am sure it is for all equestrians currently) so listening to it whilst not having to be stood out in it is painful ha! VERY well done! You are amazing and it shows through all of the horses you ride and train!
So Ive stumbled my way to your channel after purchasing my 6 year old her first pony for Christmas after a year of riding lessons. A 12.1h flea bitten grey mare who has decided her new trick is to put her head down continuously and pull the reins.. so I googled, as you do, to find some tips and tricks as I know ZERO about anything to do with horses and ponies, and a few clicks later here I am binge watching your vlogs as if I dont have a million other things to do, but Im loving them lol
Grass reins are great but if you genuinely know nothing then please do seek out some pros to help you. Google is great but often a case of ‘too many cooks’. Try and find a trainer or friend who knows their stuff, that you trust and stick with them, they’ll be invaluable and teach you as well as your child. Good luck! X
1st test-gorgeous rider Meg(and trainer-you) sweet pony tolerating wind in the dead of winter with difficulty getting enough thorough exercise--Bear is coming around.Congratulations-your hard work is blooming!Deb
I think Jam did amazing. Not many youngsters would be able to do 4 rounds in a day without being mentally and physically exhausted after. She is an absolute star!
Names on point this vlog 😂 eggy meg and dark grey mare. My poor boy's passport name is ginger (surprisingly he's a bright chestnut) I swear he had field mates called black and grey
I absolutely loved every your channel you are definitely my favourite UA-camr! And Bear, Jaffa, Winnie, Lara, Jam and the babies and all the others are all soooo cute!!! 😍😍😘
Hello! Loved this, I really do like when you talk about clothing brands, what you wear etc. I really love when your with the horses doing a simple job when speaking about life. Please can you do another barn tour?? x
Eggy Meg! Time for channel name change maybe? Bear is such a super little pony, such a credit to you and how you've brought her on given what you've said about how she was when you got her. I feel like the excitement and the wind just got to Jam at times and took her focus off you. But the jumps she clears. Wow, that scope... you can see how much potential she has and probably just needs more competition experience. Definitely a star for the future!
Just me are those fences look absolutely massive for a 80 and 95 might just be the camera 😂 Jams so cool can tell she absolutely loves jumping reminds me exactly like my loan pony crystal just loving her jumping and forgetting about a pilot on her back it’s the best type to have 😂 keep up the good work Meg you and your pony’s have such great potential and prospect for the future x❤️💕
Why is Bear so dang cute? Well done on those Dressage rounds you two. And based on your Instagram I was expecting worse with the poles..a few here and there but I think it went rather well :) A good learning experience for sure.
Love all your vids huge fan xx Can’t wait till the eventing season it’s Soo close x I think you should do an XC or SJ lesson or something at Lynham Heath Eq ?
You just get on so well with any horse! So jealous. I’ve lost so much confidence recently and if anyone has any tips please leave a reply down below 🤠🙂
Honestly, just build up slowly and give yourself time. Maybe do short rides that are out of your comfort zone and just focus on what you have to do and the end, perhaps give a reward for when you reach your goal. But only ever do this when you’re at least semi-comfortable or are having a confident day (which don’t happen much haha, so take advantage if it happens). You could even go back to basics and build up to the harder stuff afterward, just focusing on enjoying your riding! ❤️
I’ve lost a lot of confidence jumping after a nasty fall. However, I have been looking at centered riding which talks a lot about grounding your feet. So your feet are like the roots of the tree and as long as you know that your feet are underneath you, your balance will stay strong. That’s really helped me :)
My "horse in a lifetime" horse could jump to the moon, but he'd plough through anything lower than 3' ( no idea what that is in cm am that old now!) but you couldn't interfer with his jumping..just point him at them and hang on...if you tried to tell him when to jump it all went horribly wrong :)
This probably sounds like a really dumb questions but if ur doing a showjumping round should ur horse be on the bit? I would have though they don’t but i just want to check 😂
5 minutes before your gate call go do a warm up. Stretch them out, bending and flexing. No need to do more then trotting.. then your really to go for it.
do you ever feel nervous going into showjumping? since about september last year i’ve had really bad nerves that’s turned into anxiety/panic attacks whilst i’m going round which then make me feel super sick as i’m jumping and i didn’t know whether you’d have any advice. 🤩🤩
Just wondering if you would consider taking in a wild mustang? The wild ones in the USA look and act so much like the Welsh. That would be one hell of a blog and you could promote wild mustang adoption. Just a thought. Thank you 😊🐎
Think about the psychological stress on that wild mustang being transported by plane to Europe. I think that would be on the verge of animal abuse and not really beneficial to the horse, which is what should be most important.
M B Equestrian I’m sure she wouldn’t send for it until it had some handling and ground work. Still very doable ...not everything is abusive. They shipped unhandled horses here to the US all the time from Europe. They would kick butt with one. Definitely a great idea to put into consideration.
You and bear are the best pair at dressage and at everything else and I love you and can’t wait for Dora to be as amazing with you amazing teaching shell be up and awesome in no time ❤️💓
Hi Meg love watching you and your super ponies, I evented in the northwest and Scottish circuits before emigrating to Australia 18 years ago so watching you both getting out reminds me of my childhood keep up th good work.
A friend of mine bought a Welsh Sec D that had an unpronounceable (to us) Registered name so she initially got called the Chestnut Filly. That stuck and she was called Filly the rest of her life😂. It was a giggle waiting to hear what pronunciation the commentators would come up with when she won her classes. 😂 We only found out the correct way when she won at The Royal Welsh and we still couldn’t repeat it🤦♀️🤷♀️🤣
I really want to start doing comps with my mare but I can’t she’s great at actually jumping but she won’t canter if you ask her she stops but I think she’s slowly learning x
So question? In australia it's not a thing to keep your horses in the truck/float when you are at events, we usually tie them up on the side. But in England I've noticed everyone keeps them in their trucks. Why? Is it because you guys have shit weather all the time, or you're not allowed to tie them up?
DanicaBordignon Eventing for me it’s because mine are a bit naughty and would break off if I left them tied up. Also the weather situation though and the fact we’re normally parked near a busy road! Xx
Just found your vlogs and have been watching about 20 of them in 5 days. I really enjoy them. BUT the music is way too high compared to your voice volume so every time you put music in I have to turn the volume down about 10 pegs, and then I have to turn it up again when you say something, which is not the end of the world but I feel kind of bad for my boyfriend who often falls asleep before me and wakes up from the sudden change in volume. (Wow, longest sentence in the world, sorry) Hope you don't mind some constructive critisism, I really do like the videos :)
Moomles no worries! I’ve been playing around with the music, it’s currently half the volume of the spoken bits 😫 I will play around some more! Was it better in this one over some of the old ones? X
Meg every body would have to fall off for jam to win ( sorry meg) but you are correct that you did need to circle her to tell/ teach her how she should jump.
Absolutely love your channel Meg and your vlogs have inspired me to start doing them myself! Ive done two so if anyone wants to check them out id be very appreciative and constructive criticism is definitely welcome!
There’s no UA-camr I get more excited to see upload, super inspiring to watch you and your horses! lots of love from New Zealand 💕
Courtney Andrews ❤️❤️❤️
Bear was so good! From your intro, thought she would be a little monster! Well done. Jam looks rideable one minute, then loses it a bit! Lovely jump though. Have been browsing other similar channels lately, and yours, Meg is by far the best, in my opinion! Natural, funny and educational. Thankyou!
Jane Jalis awh thank you! ❤️
“We are officially late” is most definitely your most used catchphrase!! 🤣🤣 brilliant vlog as usual Meg 👍👍😍
C Soudain haha it literally is 😂
I want to say
Merch merch merch
😂 I want some polos with that on 😂
The flashes of orange as your coat flaps 😂
Funny comments and nice ponies :) Love how you're always smiling when doing the tests! And feel ya on the post-dressage evaluations, I usually get better marks than my self-critical estimates say :P
Wow I can’t believe how much jam has come on + bear looked so good she was so consistent and you are an amazing rider xx ❤️🐴❤️
Every time that little 🛎 rang in the song that accompanied your elementary test I had a little heart attack. I thought you’d gone off course, since you obviously care more about baked goods than you do learning your test. 😁
Allison Rogers hahah you got me there😘😘😘😂😂😂
You know Bear is a beautiful pony love to watch her move
When you did dressage with Bear you think you had trouble in the first round I think the lady in the ring next to you had more and I think Jam and her jumping she is just like a kid arguing with there parent of who knows best but considering she has not done much I think she went fab so congratulations to you hobbit and ponies
Donna Jeffery Hahahaha my thought exactly. i felt bad for the lady on that grey horse
I was thinking the same.. in fact, it reminded me of when my horse took offense at an arena fence and nearly reversed into the neighbouring elementary test (whilst I was trying to trot round the boards before doing a prelim) 😬
Just like in one of her other events
Everyone with a Welsh D mare knows the struggles 😂
Charlotte Allen Welsh Ds on a hole 😂😂💓
I had a Sec D for 23 fun filled years. Sometimes it just wasn’t his turn to have the brain cell! But I got used to the five different types of trot, the good, the bad, the ugly, boneshaker/bladder rattler and the flat out flying one that left everyone else for dust. Plus he saved me from invisible lurking dragons and taught me to be brave. Gotta love a Welsh❤️❤️❤️
🥺
As a owner of a Welsh D mare, I can relate. As amazing as she is, she is also quite a handful at times
Oh my goodness thank you so much for turning the audio off for the music in your second test - I love all of your background music but I was tempted to turn the sound completely off because of the wind haha the wind is the bain of my life right now (as I am sure it is for all equestrians currently) so listening to it whilst not having to be stood out in it is painful ha!

Kim grass reins are fab for stopping ponies from putting their heads down or lots of people swear by balance support reins. X x
@@larastutchbury9743 thank you!!
Meg and her ponies are addictive for sure.

Love little Teddy ears....just so gorgeous! And love how you love your ponys. Jam is quite scopey, isn’t she? Ah, so lovely to watch!
Ahh jam is literally at exactly the same stage, doing the exact same thing as my mare! Can definitely sympathize!
Honestly buzzing I’ve been waiting for this - tbh I wait for all your vlogs 😆💖💖💖
Loved this video!! Bear is an absolutely insane little dressage pony!!🤤jam looks so so good too love her jump!! Exciting year with both ahead 🙈❤️

This probably sounds like a really dumb questions but if ur doing a showjumping round should ur horse be on the bit? I would have though they don’t but i just want to check 😂
Love this video! Well done
Really enjoyed the two days out!
I loved it as usual 💜
Loved this video. Thanks Meg x
So in your first test, Bear just marches right on while the horse in the arena behind her is trying to rear. 😛
Fleet Skipper I know! That horse nearly leapt on her in the warm up too so she was terrified of it 😂
Any tips for showjumping a horse who naps to the arena exit gate? Or just a nappy horse?
5 minutes before your gate call go do a warm up. Stretch them out, bending and flexing. No need to do more then trotting.. then your really to go for it.
what bridle do you use it looks super nice
These are Shires and Henry James Saddlery
Your the beeesssstttt UA-camr ever
Well done 🤩🤩
Aww the ponies are so cute ❤️
do you ever feel nervous going into showjumping? since about september last year i’ve had really bad nerves that’s turned into anxiety/panic attacks whilst i’m going round which then make me feel super sick as i’m jumping and i didn’t know whether you’d have any advice. 🤩🤩
Erin Gray I do when I’m eventing! Deep breaths is always my go to tactic! X
Loved this!

New vlog titles.... Baked Goods and Rubbish Horse Care (Complete Sarcasm). ❤️ Meg and '''Hobbit''' Great vlog!
Suzanne Holsomback hahahah OMG yes 😂😂😂
The poor girl in the arena next to you at 8:41 😂 must be the weather

Sandra Back so Welsh 😂😂 I had one like that
Meg you could make a 20 X 40 in one of your fields (bring the ponies in then ride in the field with the white boards)
I really want to start doing comps with my mare but I can’t she’s great at actually jumping but she won’t canter if you ask her she stops but I think she’s slowly learning x
While you were doing the first dressage the horse in the arena behind you was literally rearing up 😂
I have just come from your 2019 badminton video are you going again on a different horse or is bear the main competing pony?
Alexandra Graham I don’t think she qualified this year x
I’m not going this year 😭😭
Elphick.Event.Ponies Awwww I would have love to see jam or bear progressed x

Is it sad I could tell it was Novice 38 within about 3 seconds of you riding it? Well done on the scores!
Mare Filly hahah not sad, impressive!
You need a wild mustang! I’d love to see you work with one
How'd you get one to the UK? I'd love to see it too but there's kind of an ocean in the way
what bridle are you using on jam?
LJEquestrian she has a Henry James Saddlery one
Woop woop!

You could blame the horse on the other ring 😅That is why I don’t compete, I would be that lady on a horse on 2 feet 🤷🏻♀️

Almost 20k!

You could pretend it was the fault of the pastries.

Me too... I like baked goods more than my horses...how can you not?
I'm joking btw...in case anyone didn't get it!
Baked goods > Horses
HOBBIT that old guy probably couldn't see his hand on the steering wheel.
Ahh early yay !
Good job you ride nice and I like ti
Love ur clothes from shires. Hobbit is so funny
I think you need to keep Bear for ever no-one will understand her as you do x
janet Rodgers Absolutely agree! They are meant to be together.
