MY RIDING STORY PART 2 ~ Balancing horses and university
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 чер 2020
- 100 videos!!! I honestly cannot believe I have made it this far and I have you guys to thank for constantly encouraging and motivating me. Of course Hobbit needs a big thank you for being videographer and co-host but that goes without saying.
To celebrate I have worked myself into the ground (bit of a thing of mine as you will see) to try and finally finish my 'My riding story' video. It's not perfect by any means guys but it is the best I can do for now. These videos look very simple but actually take hours to find the media and then do a voice over and then change the media to match. Basically what I am saying is please be nice and forgive my mistakes as this has taken me well over 40 hours and many sleepless nights.
There are going to be some things I have accidentally missed out (I'm sorry) but the general timeline of events is there. I speak a lot about how difficult it was to balance riding and competing the horses whilst being full time at university 200 miles from home. I really wanted to cover this because it was something I felt very in the dark about before I went off to uni. I hope this will be helpful to people to show that you can go to uni and keep your horses... you just need to be good at burning the candle at both ends.
Enough rambling from me, this is starting to remind me of my dissertation. Below are some links to other vlogs which I mentioned in here or think you might enjoy:

When Bear farted in the dressage I jumped out of my skin !! hahaha
Loud wasn't it 🤣
LOL -- she spooked herself with her fart! Wow, if ever you're feeling overwhelmed or deeply out of sorts, Meg, I hope you'll cue that video up for yourself. I guarantee you'll laugh so hard you'll forget why you were sad. My god, that was so unexpected and so funny. Well done, Hobbit for capturing it. And well-done you, too, Meg. Wow, I've only loosely followed you on UA-cam, so had really no idea that you were under so much pressure doing Uni too. Kudos to you, that you used UA-cam as a distraction rather than a place to moan a lot. Looking forward to many more riding vlogs, etc, with you; though I'm sure you'll add extra work and crazy situations to that too. Thanks for the ginormous laughs.
I was so scared! My heart literally missed a beat 😂

What a fab video. Been glued to my tablet watching your story. You have done an incredible job with Bear (as with the others) - what a jump she has. Lara's foal almost looked like a baby giraffe!! - such long legs☺. Can't wait til you are out eventing again. You & your dear mum are inspirational women - such dedication & hard work. Thanks so much for sharing.
Fab vlog. Here's to the next 100! 🍻
This vlog was amazing!! Thank you Meg!! It shows the reality of juggling horses and university but also how much of an amazing time you can have! Makes me feel slightly less mental as I do the same! And yes uni riding teams are sooo fun! Xx
I have to say that I absolutely loved your first riding story video! It was the first one posted after I subscribed so it's one of my favourites. I'm sure this one will be just as good! Well done Meg 👍

Starts watching at 9am and meg tells me to grab a drink *shrugs* 5 o’clock somewhere I guess lmao x also you always are so critical on your dressage x you have done beautifully meg.
Wow your riding Journey looks amazing 💖✨🥺
WONDERFUL Meg!!!!! Just an awesome story of your life at Uni and beyond. You put in 100% in all you do and with your beautiful smile always (mostly), on your face. You are an incredible rider and an incredible daughter and an incredible person. I look forward to each and every video. It just makes me happy to see you and your ponies and all they can accomplish. To have the babies to look forward to is an exciting prospect! Thank you for sharing your life. I know it must not be easy, but I for one appreciate your hard work. ON TO THE NEXT ADVENTURE 🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎
I think this might be one of my favourite videos of yours Meg, loved it! Got quite emosh at the end, what a journey you’ve been on both with ponies and uni! You’re 100% right about third year of uni though, shit suddenly hits the fan and it’s not fun at all🥴
WOW MEG!!!!!!! You have been busy. From horses to uni and then back to horses.😂You went to nationals!!!!!!!! Your living my dream well maybe not the falling off at badminton part. But Meg well done for getting this far your my insperation and even though we haven't met I still think your amazing so are your horses.🐴🐴💕💕
I love your riding story meg and I loved Barnie when my brother went to uni luckily my dad could ride his horse because we have lots of siblings you so much love for horses
Thank you for all your work & time putting, not just this vlog ( many kudos for this one tho!) all your vlogs up to share. It has been fun watching you & your ponies evolve into quite the team. Hobbit always supportive & fun fun. Well done on your degree but most of all your love, commitment & caring for the ponies!
Omg so excited for this
You are so honest and genuine thats rare to find these days on UA-cam. what a beautifully put together video. Its also a good way to show that if you put your mind to what you are doing no matter how hard it feels you will eventually get there and hard work really does pay off, well done you 👍 loved it
For anyone who needs to see this - You are awesome, keep going 🥰
Congratulations on 100 videos! The picture you inserted of what you look like while you were recording the voiceover is what I look like watching ha ha xx
Really well done, congratulations on your degree. You did an awesome job with uni and the horses. I'm in yr1 at Warwick uni doing social studies now and I'm already so scared coz it's so hard. I also have horses and want to start a blog channel but I just don't know where to begin. You are such an inspiration to me Megan! I watch your videos every day, and the rest if the VE squad. Xxxxx good luck for your future you and your ponies 💜💙💜
Love the new vid meg was worth the hours of editing you deserve every bit of positive achievements you have and definitely will have in the future ❤️🐴
Meg you have literally sucked me back in time to Uni!!! THE GRADE CALCULATOR!! 😂😂😭😭
Immense. Thats the only word that comes to mind, absolutely Immense. How you managed to fit in horses (and BADDERS!!!)) and get a first baffles me.
I thought I worked hard and was busy 😂😭
Incredible Meg, well done for all your success, academic and equestrian!! May it all continue!! Xx
Great vlog as ever
This video was amazing!! Thoroughly enjoyed it 🤩so good to see how uni was for you as I’ll be finishing school this year and I’m constantly worrying about how I’ll balance the horses, although it looks very hard it’s so good to see it can be done it’ll just be tough! You did such an amazing job with all your ponys and I’m so excited to see more of the ones you currently have 🙈❤️
Oh wow, what an incredible effort this was Meg !! So well done.... cant even imagine the time that went in to creating this vlog and for what it’s worth you absolutely nailed it ! 👌🏻👍🏻 Thanks so much for sharing more of your journey 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰❤️
