@Carhornchannel my point is we know she is capable & knowledgeable and responsible & explaining everything to the judgmental viewers is a sad truth that she has to deal with.
I just want to put my 2 cents in about weight - firstly, I think you have the upmost care and respect for your horses and ponies and I dont think for one second you would ride them if you felt you would cause them pain or injury in any way - just look at Ari and the way you care for him
I am sad that you had to explain all that Meg, but I understand and praise you for being so transparent for the viewers who may not understand you put your horses first, always! Fun video to watch, thanks for sharing, Bear is so cute ❤
Ponies can carry more weight than some might think, but of course there is a limit for every horse or pony. Well done for addressing it in such a balanced way. I shrieked with joy when I saw the video and grinned all the way through. 😄
Well? You know it be "IT". The REAL question is, will be call her 'BEAR' at the end??! Rich is too comical. I'd be falling off my horse trying to have a lesson with him lol. YOU GO MEG & BEAR!! Woohoo
Bear gets a bit Western, lol! But I must admit you do look taller on Bear now than when I first found your vids. I guess its seeing you on taller mounts lately.🤔
I think it was a really good idea to address the weight debate as away of preempting the possibility of negative comments and reassuring your followers that it is an important part of horse ownership.
Thank you so much for talking about the weight aspect! I think it’s a wonderful education for younger riders who aren’t as familiar with the 15-20% rule and how important that is to the welfare of the horse. Once again, you are showing that you put your horses first by thinking it through and that’s a wonderful lesson for all of us.
So great to see Bear back and wow! You rode her shenanigans so well, even one handed at times! Thank you for addressing human and horse weight in such a positive manner. People forget that horses do have varying capacities depending on their size, health and fitness. You did a great job explaining it all- really helpful to people who may not know, reassuring to anyone who wondered and forestalling the negative comments. You and Bear looked great today, clearly both having fun!
Bear is so classy. She has so many looks! Opening the horse box door and she is standing with her little ears pricked looking like a queen. She’s just amazing and you sat those bounces like the pro you are! Great to see her back.
The queen is back. Meg if anyone has a go at you tell them to go and do one. The ones who follow you know you would never do anything to harm your horses xx
Awww so great to see you and Bear back together. I used to ride a 13.2 hh pony, and he was a super boy. Im a big ol' adult so no fear your doing the wrong thing. You know your ponies better than anyone and besides if Bear didn't want you to rofe her she'd soon tell you.
I admire your patience with the adverse comment side of your work. It amazes me how judgmental people have become. You handle things with grace and kindness that really shows the depth of your EQ. It is not easy when people expect you to be a role model which you clearly perform to the best of your ability. There are many things we could say about the individuals making the comments but life is too short to use energy with such an endeavour.
I was thinking the same! Bear will bring a new kick of confidence Meg didn’t know she had tucked away as cheeky ponies without malice do wonders for confidence in one’s abilities and it’ll transfer onto everything she sits on! Meg you look absolutely fab onboard as always I can’t wait to see more 😅 and Han when megs busy and you’re free you definitely have to steal some rides at home and some shows, you ride 1 sassy mare so what’s another ey! 😜 I’m sorry you felt the need to have to address weight but applaud you for it to pre backhand slap away any trolls that come your way!
I love your channel for the wholesome sense of fun and joy you impart to us all - I get a lot of enjoyment from watching your vlogs and it reminds me to enjoy my journey with the young horse I now have. Self loathing and self criticism is a curse which I admit I can give into far too easily. Thanks for your fresh take on all things horsey - It is much appreciated xx
You look absolutely great on her, even now. Slow and steady as you are and she’ll be absolutely fine. Everyone who knows your channel knows that your horses’ welfare is first and foremost. They all live a life many horses can only dream of. Looking forward to the formidable duo back together. I’ll have to go and watch some old videos to remind me of those good old days and those to come 🙌🏻💫
for a horse that hasn’t been ridden in 3 years i can officially say she’s done incredible! it so lovely to see you meg laughing and staying strong while riding. love to see bear back❤
Meg, Never let anyone make you feel bad about yourself. We can all agree that you are absolutely stunning and the amount of care you put into your ponies is limitless.
I love how much joy Bear always brings you. She’s one in a million and I’d forgotten what a smart little mover she is! Please please say you’ll have a Rich lesson on her once she’s a bit fitter!
Aww I’ve forgot how much I missed you both together ❤️ she was the main reason I started following years ago as I had a Welsh mare as a teen, she had a foal didn’t change her at all 😂
OMG It was so awesome to see you on Bear again. I teared up! So well done and brave of you to bring weight issues to the fore. There are a lot of people who haven't even considered the fact that they may be too big for their horses, so kudos for that, too.
You guys look great together, your light seat makes riding ponies look just right. I’m glad you said something about it and you should ignore anyone who comments anything insinuating you being too big for her. So happy for you and Bear!
It’s so good you’re thinking about weight and what your ponies can carry! The 20% rule is a good guideline but it also very much depends on the horse and rider! A heavier breed will often be able to carry more than a lighter one for example, but rider ability is also crucial! A well-balanced heavier rider will be much easier for a horse to carry than sloppy lighter one! You’re a balanced rider and within the 20% so you’ll be perfectly fine on Bear! Unfortunately in the horse world someone will always find something wrong
Meg, you need to ride everything with that same confidence you had with Bear! Lovely to see you all having so much fun, that's what it's all about! 🐎👍♥️
meg your an amazing person your personality an riding makes me smile each day block out the haters like i been here long enough to know you love your horses an know what good for them an your riding vids have helped me with my cob espacily the ones you do with simon an lucinder like i have to say you inspired me .
You still look fine on her! DO NO LISTEN to the morons! Thank you, Bear, for not disappointing! Looking just as cute and acting just as spicy as always! That canter was hysterical! Once she's muscled up, she'll be aces again. Glad to see her back!
She is such a character❤😊!!! And talented. And smart!! Joyful, like a child😍💕! Loving life. Meg, you two complement each other ❤❤. You are just PERFECT for her. Just the way you are 💕. Wish you all the very best from Finland.
I do not remember Bear having so many upper-level dressage moves - lol. In all seriousness, Bear does have a nice frame, in the front, anyway. This was gold having Bear, Hobbit and Han all in one video. Thanks for all the laughs.
Thanks for the comments about body image. I’m 5’1” & have really packed it on over the years. I’ve never been thin despite being an uber athlete. I’m feeling very low about my weight especially with all the skinny young ones around. It’s hard to forget about it & just ride, and I’m good. Thanks for the pep talk. ❤️
Hi ALL, SO good to see you back on bear, AND I addmeryou for all you do. So good to see Han and your mum back , bear is SUCH an remarkable pony .😄😄😄😄 all the best with your training. 😊😊😊👍👍👍AND THANK YOU to ALL that help OUT.
Me too, have you read @Floyd's Fripperies comments about Meg riding Bear? She's being so mean!!! Also, Floyd's Fripperies doesn't have any videos of her riding, she's probably never ridden a Horse/Pony in her life!!!
Meg thank you so much for putting in that bit about weight. I’m sure it wasn’t easy but it’s so important for people to hear. You are so perfect and a fabulous rider and never let anyone tell you other wise ❤
I can understand the stress you feel about your weight and your horses. Even for my big, hefty 16.2hh hunter type horse, I had to think about my weight. The initial goal was 80kg and I currently weigh 65/66kg. So goal achieved. I also have a 14.1hh pony and understand the feeling of feeling tall on a pony. He's been retired for many years and I was my current weight when I rode him. He's an old fashioned hefty Highland Pony. Fingers crossed for Badminton.
My pony has been out of work for 18 months and and at first I couldn't get him to trot without trying to canter or bucking ha, cant wait to see more bear again
I bet it felt like wearing those comfy slippers you’ve had for years, I started watching riding Bear and heading off to Badminton so it’s lovely to see you back on her 💕
Oh I've missed Ted, so lovely to see her back and she's looking in a good place, ready to start muscling up and preparing to go crazy over some poles with you XD
I’ve been waiting for this reunion under saddle for almost 3 years!! So thrilled it went well, and Bear didn’t deck you! Can’t wait for future vlogs with her under saddle! Also, great to see Hobit and Han this vlog. Cheers to you Meg, you survived ride one! Love from California🏔️🌲☀️🩵
WOOOO it feels like a million years since i've seen you on Bear i'm so excited for her to be back!! Would love to see some of how you're gonna build her muscle back up ❤
"Lets put Bear in foal and hopefully being a Mother will calm her down"
Bear - hold my coat!
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
In regards to explaining you riding Bear, the world is offended far too easily. Megan, you're always a class act .
Quite agree.
The world has gone nuts!
@Carhornchannel my point is we know she is capable & knowledgeable and responsible & explaining everything to the judgmental viewers is a sad truth that she has to deal with.
I think it was quite reasonable to explain it
@@Jzy21Huh? She's about ten stone, and bear is floating along!. I think that says it all
This video has an old vlogging feel to it. I’ve really missed these types of videos (and bear as well) ❤❤
We swear Bear has been backed! Motherhood hasn't changed her much. Meg forgot what it was like to ride a pony. So much fun and happiness.
at 17:54 it sounds like Hobbit is a pony club mum telling her child what to do while the instructor isn't looking LOL
Hahah that’s exactly what I said to her in the lorry 😂
It does
😂
Once a horse mom, always a horse mom! 😂 ❤ 🐎
I just want to put my 2 cents in about weight - firstly, I think you have the upmost care and respect for your horses and ponies and I dont think for one second you would ride them if you felt you would cause them pain or injury in any way - just look at Ari and the way you care for him
I totally agree!🤗
So true meg takes super good care of her horses❤❤❤
I am sad that you had to explain all that Meg, but I understand and praise you for being so transparent for the viewers who may not understand you put your horses first, always! Fun video to watch, thanks for sharing, Bear is so cute ❤
Ponies can carry more weight than some might think, but of course there is a limit for every horse or pony. Well done for addressing it in such a balanced way. I shrieked with joy when I saw the video and grinned all the way through. 😄
I’ve missed her, she’s so cute! Can’t wait for a “Rich meets Bear” vlog, the things he will say 😂😂
Omg yessss
Omg, yes this needs to happen!!!! 😂😂
OMG ... I was thinking the exact same thing!!! 😂
Well? You know it be "IT". The REAL question is, will be call her 'BEAR' at the end??!
Rich is too comical. I'd be falling off my horse trying to have a lesson with him lol.
YOU GO MEG & BEAR!!
Woohoo
Bear gets a bit Western, lol! But I must admit you do look taller on Bear now than when I first found your vids. I guess its seeing you on taller mounts lately.🤔
I think it was a really good idea to address the weight debate as away of preempting the possibility of negative comments and reassuring your followers that it is an important part of horse ownership.
Han and Hobbit are the best sidekicks for horsey adventures. Bear looks amazing and sassy
We all need a Han and Hobbit in our lives! ❤
Thank you so much for talking about the weight aspect!

BEARRR!!! So happy you are able to ride her again!
Bless I've really missed Bear ❤
Bear is so classy. She has so many looks! Opening the horse box door and she is standing with her little ears pricked looking like a queen. She’s just amazing and you sat those bounces like the pro you are! Great to see her back.
Super smooth trot, Bear s body hardly moves vertically. I'd love to see her driving
The queen is back. Meg if anyone has a go at you tell them to go and do one. The ones who follow you know you would never do anything to harm your horses xx
Have you read @Floyd's Fripperies comments about Meg riding Bear? She's being so mean!!!

I love how excited you all get around Bear - even when she’s being a naughty monkey, it’s clear to see that you all still love her loads 💕
So excited to watch! Cant believe its been three years what!?!?!?
Meg is so relaxed & unconcerned with the shenanigans. Hope that transfers to Jam & Wilma.
I was thinking the same! Bear will bring a new kick of confidence Meg didn’t know she had tucked away as cheeky ponies without malice do wonders for confidence in one’s abilities and it’ll transfer onto everything she sits on!

Bear has such beautiful natural quality of movement. Lovely to see her come back to being ridden.❤
So excited to watch, 3 years has flown by! She is such a pocket rocket and I’m soo happy to see her back in action! ❤
Meg, Never let anyone make you feel bad about yourself. We can all agree that you are absolutely stunning and the amount of care you put into your ponies is limitless.
Bear is such a flashy little pony! She is looking super healthy and fit. Fun times ahead!!! ❤
She is so sassy and people would say she dosent look great but i think shes beautiful no matter what!
Aww absolutely brilliant to see Bear back in action❤. feels like only yesterday since she was pinging over them meter plus fences!
Meg I’m so proud of you and my whole yard looks up to you even my instructor looks up to you 😊you are so amazing and strong and beautiful ❤
Classic Bear ensuring all her adoring fans are pleased
I love how much joy Bear always brings you. She’s one in a million and I’d forgotten what a smart little mover she is! Please please say you’ll have a Rich lesson on her once she’s a bit fitter!
i dont think ive actually ever EVER been this excited for a video oh my god
I've missed Bear soo much! I'm so happy to see her again!

Gotta love Bears sass 💁♀️💁♀️
Welcome back bear bear 🥰 can’t wait to see her back in full work again x
Bear is my absolute favorite! I love all your horses, but Bear is the most fun!
Well said Meg.
And so lovely to see you back on Bear, you are a fantastic team. Looking forward to seeing your adventures together again xx
I love your confidence on Bear, she could do anything and you’d be so brave ❤ an amazing duo
You guys look great together, your light seat makes riding ponies look just right. I’m glad you said something about it and you should ignore anyone who comments anything insinuating you being too big for her. So happy for you and Bear!

Been sat here on TH-cam waiting for this video for about half an hour! So excited!
Meg, you need to ride everything with that same confidence you had with Bear! Lovely to see you all having so much fun, that's what it's all about! 🐎👍♥️
Keep the best videos coming, so helpful to see how you bring your ponies back into work.

So great to see her back in action - I've missed her cheekiness on your channel!!

Great video Meg. So glad Bear is home and can't wait for you to bring her back into work. She lost quite a bit of muscle. Great video. Love Bear.
Well done for bringing it up meggie, for talking about it. As it is a very important part of riding and some people don’t think about it.
I do not remember Bear having so many upper-level dressage moves - lol. In all seriousness, Bear does have a nice frame, in the front, anyway. This was gold having Bear, Hobbit and Han all in one video. Thanks for all the laughs.

Great to see the Queen of sass back under saddle!
I love bear so much. ❤ so excited you get to ride her again! :)
"What if she decks me?" "She won't deck you." Me: She might 😂
😂😂😂
That was the point where I was kicking myself for not stocking up on popcorn before sitting down to watch!
Everyone's favourite sassy pony is back!!! I'm so excited i absolutely adore her xx

Loved this so much Meg- you are so contentious and caring for all of your ponies and always do the very best with them ❤
I hate trolls!!…Meg keep doing you because you are funny, smart, talented, caring, gorgeous on the eye and loved by people who appreciate you ❤
Me too, have you read @Floyd's Fripperies comments about Meg riding Bear? She's being so mean!!! Also, Floyd's Fripperies doesn't have any videos of her riding, she's probably never ridden a Horse/Pony in her life!!!
