🐴 More Wilma, More Fun! 🌟
You asked for more Wilma, and here it is! Join me in this honest 'week in my life' video as we navigate the joys and challenges Leof bonding with a new horse. It's been just a couple of weeks since Wilma joined us, and I wanted to share the genuine experience of us finding our feet together.
Adjusting to a new horse is a journey, both for horse and rider. Instead of waiting for picture-perfect moments, I've decided to capture our early days, showcasing the realness of adapting to change. While the footage might not be the most impressive just yet, it reflects the authenticity of our journey.
Consider this a snapshot of our current chapter, and who knows, in a few months, I might create another video to compare and see the progress we've made.
I hope you enjoy this glimpse into my life with Wilma. Don't forget to subscribe if you find the journey as exciting as I do! 🎥✨

As a person who loves the training more than competing, I love these type of videos. Please continue to include these along with your other type of videos. You have very well rounded content. Thank you ❤
Awh thanks so much! More training videos coming your way ❤
Me too! My barn time with the ponies is waaay more important than trophies and ribbons. ❤
Wilma is so chill but very willing. Such an awesome horse!
So mega isn’t she 🥹
I just love her!@@elphick.event.ponies
I love how Emily tells you just take your time , don't want to worry about other people, it's just you and her and all of us cheering you on , she is such a doll all the way around , you did well picking her
her stable manners are just amazing 😍
Yeh she’s darling in the stable ❤
I would LOVE to see more videos like this one! It was very enjoyable! Wilma looks like an absolute dream to work with! Your horses are treated so well! 😊 ❤ 🐎
Glad you enjoyed it! ♥️
please continue with these week in the life with Wilma! i’m excited to watch her progress 🤩
Yes! It's very enjoyable to watch!
Maybe I should make it a monthly thing over the winter to show her progress 👀
@@elphick.event.ponies yessss please!!! 🤩🤩
Yaaas! 😍@@elphick.event.ponies
@@elphick.event.poniesYess!
Wilma's such an honest, willing and sensible girl. You've got a gem there!
That color looks amazing on Wilma. So nice of them to outfit her. They can also tell that she will be going places.
Really suits her doesn’t it 🥹🥹
You and Wilma are absolutely ment for each other ❤ she's gonna be amazing in the future 😍
She is so special! Can’t wait to see her progression with you Meg ❤
imo Wilma is the visual definition of the perfect top tier cross bred of the Connemara / Thoroughbred breed. Thus far it seems she has it all and best of both worlds and at this point i cannot imagine anything unwanted being hidden , i think for for everything she has been through in this transition , the worse part of it is over with and she has been the most steady and calm in the transition to her new and forever home i have ever seen in my life time. Usually if there was any unwanted issue in the horse, it would have clearly shown up by now. She literally is a "what you see is what you get" love at first sight - and she is everything one could ever desire in a quality competitive equine and i think she is a 2 star in this case and i am excited to see if i am right on that. I want to believe that Wilma is exactly what Elphick needs for a few years to get her to aim for 5 star horses in the grand prix and Olympian competitions!!
She is absolutely lovely! Brown or Bay is immaterial as her natural beauty shines through with her way of going and her gentle but thoughtful behavior. She will do nothing but continue to get better and better because you are doing all of the right things with her! She will go as far as you want her to go with that personality and I love seeing you two working together without the distractions of others…. I would continue with the pole work and begin to do some elementary dressage work to keep things interesting and different for you both. So excited to see her progress...
I agree... It was so much calmer and more concentrated with just you!!
It’s great news that Emily loves Wilma too. I think she has had everyone’s approval now. Well done Wilma xx
To me it looks a little bit like Ari has taken on Ace’s roll which is very sweet, as if Ace taught Ari how to be the main man in the herd ❤
Wow! She did fabulous over the crazy poles, she adjusted herself..herself, both speed and foot height. Really clever with where she is putting her feet!!!
i absolutely love how much meg is focusing on not rushing wilmas training and doing what's best for her in the moment given how she's feeling! so many people would just force the horse to go jump big jumps and get out competing asap which isn't goo so i really do admire how meg is working with her new horse!
God she's really a special horse isnt she... 💖 You really couldn't have found a better fit! You guys are doing amazing already🥰
Great video!!! Meg, don't forget your Rich lesson--in the 15m circles, OUTSIDE HAND needs to STAY PUT. You're throwing it away. WAY more inside leg to a really solid, stable outside rein will help her stand up on those circles and work over her back. 🙂
Lessons once or twice weekly will help reinforce this
Wilma has officially won me over. Her mind is incredible!!!!
OH MY GOD! I knew Wilma would be good the second i saw her but she is absolutely BRILLIANT!! She is so honest, forward and so loyal, even if she makes a mistake she keeps going and aces the next thing, absolute angel she is ❤️🥰
That Green is gorgeous on her!
Isn’t it just 😍
Loved how the 3 ponies are bonding Meg, Wilma is so sweet. Etta has grown so quickly she’s beautiful and I love how scruffy and muddy looking in the winter months just real horsey. I always looked forward to bringing them in and giving them a good clean baths etc ready to start the season .tfs😎🏇😎
Still only 10 minutes into the video, but I had to comment you’re doing so well with her! She’s lovely 🥺🤍
Yay! Thank you! X
Hi Meg Dear,
I loved the week in the life of Wilma.
She is coming along beautifully and I thought that she is progressing very well indeed. She has a very smart brain and is thinking things out for herself very well.
Congratulations Meg, keep it up you are doing super with your lovely new mare.
Jane❤️🧑🏻🦰❤️🐴
She’s stunning 😍
hehe...I feel that Wilma is going to get Meg fit while Meg is trying to fit and build up Wilma
Yes I love the little at home exercises way more! They give me great ideas and are much more relatable than all the wild excursion vlogs.
I agree! I’m always looking for good training exercises to use as “homework” between my jumping lessons
I too think that the hacking is one of the more important aspects of a young horse's life. They see so much and they see the reality of the world. Plus the gradient change and dealing with mud. Vital Meg vital.
Wilma is absolutely the best! So glad you’re a team!
Love the new gear on her! I always love seeing the greens and such on dark horses, I think she'd also look absolutely beautiful in dark red or dark blue colors if that company makes that. Thanks for such a lovely vlog, Meg! It's so fun to see Wilma learning new things and learning to trust her new humans. ^-^
And we've all been there with vaccine after-effects, Wilma, hang in there! 😅
I think red looks stunning on dark horses! I had a horse who was a black bay (not that I’m a color expert; my focus has been on good horse keeping, training, and riding. Never got into the intricacies of colors beyond the basics). He basically looked black, but with a bit of brown just around his muzzle area. Anyway, I had a bright red saddle pad which looked stunning on him! Sadly, I think someone “borrowed” that pad and never returned it…. But I think Wilma would look lovely in red!
Love this video, especially the pole work. It gives such great instruction for my just-turned-five Mustang/Thoroughbred cross who, by the way, looks like Wilma's "mini me" in every way possible.
She’s so beautifully well behaved and such a wilful girl, I see great things with her! 💗
In love with this horse❤ big congratulations on getting her 🎉
Can’t wait to watch! Wilma is so perfect for you Meg you defo made the right decision ❤
She’s such a good girl and so smart, such a fast learner… I absolutely love her!
wow her reaction to all that polework was amazing, just one or two looks but she just stays with you and keeps going. what a dream horse
Wilma is such a lovely willing to work girl ❤ I Look fowards to your Journey together meg🫶🏼
Once again loving Emily’s positive and simple lessons, super good for confidence building 🎉
I love the episodes with training, esp. your explanations for your choices. That lesson away was amazing..so new to you, to the place, and she was so sensible, so willing--already starting to trust you and your aids. I thought her approach to the chevron was just perfect. Strengthening the topline and back end is always slow, but frankly I see a little difference from the video of your ride on her in Ireland. By the end of January--certainly February--it'll be more obvious. Six months and you'll be able to see a lot more of her future physical self. What a mare!
Super vlog Meg….love Emma, so glad she’s on board, very perceptive. Wilma looks like she has everything going for her, really nice mare.
Keep showing her progress please, so interesting. 👏🏻.
It’s lovely to see your building partnership. I would enjoy seeing more of your self directed schooling as well as some of the lessons with Rich and Emily and others. So much to look forward to.
I'm looking forward to watching Wilma progress.
Absolutely adore her!
Can’t what for many more Wilma videos!
Love these style of videos so so much ❤️!
Wilma is such a beautiful mare. I'm so pleased that you chose her 😊
I love Wilma so much she is a GEM! ❤ Thank you for sharing, I live vicariously through your videos 😂
Such a great trainer
We still love you Jam, DD and Bear but there is a shiny new pony around and she’s pretty cool!!!
Loved this and love seeing lessons and pole work at home 😀
I can’t wait for you and Wilma to be off winning Badminton 😅
Imagine 🥹
Wow Wilma is lovely. You picked the right one Meg.
I love everything!
You made the correct choice in Wilma. You two really suit each other, fantastically. Can't wait to see more, especially jumping lol ❤
I’m so happy you’ve already gotten good instructors to help you off on the right track!
Thank you to have included your mistakes here and there. That’s seriously so nice to see.
I feel like having a horse is caring for them 360 degrees.
From physio to riding them to nutrition and supplements to planning their play time etc it’s just really difficult sometimes.
Especially when you’re getting to know them.
Can’t wait to see your progress !! x
I absolutely love how sweet you are with her ❤ your by far one of my favorite Equestrians. I'm 9 months pregnant and can't ride atm so watching you relaxes me. I can't wait to get back out in the hunt field!!! I'd give anything to meet you!❤
That was really good to get a different viewpoint today. I've only ever watched the end result of your endeavours, so taking a peep at your training process was a real eye opener to all the fantastic skills you have mastered. You really deserve credit for what you have achieved in my view. I am almost 70 and haven't ridden in 35 years. I love being in your stable. Sue xx
id love to see an updated "week in the life of Wilma" video to see her progress so far!
She's so sweet, and so, so smart. That brain is golden! Meg, I am so thrilled for you. This was so much fun to watch.
She’s so lovely. You are very lucky to have her. Please take this as a learning lesson and give horses time to recover from vaccinations as a matter of course. Good luck with your new adventures together!
Yup! Growing up, my dad always gave our horses several days off after shots, and we had one mare that always needed a full week to recover.
Early Wilma is going to be such an amazing eventer i can just see it🤩
She is so lovely! It looks like she’s really fitting in and finding her stride with you!
She’s a lovely girl and so chilled. Great attitude and I hope you have a lot of fun together!!
She’s got a lovely temperament bless her. That last school was really helpful. Going to go and try and do it with mine while it’s fresh in my memory, thank you
What a FUN horse! She looks like such a blast to have, such a good brain on her, so willing but also chill. What a great find!
May we see a video of her second try out and your decision making on which horse to buy? Am loving these videos, would also like an update on the foals please. Thank you
She's such a gem its nice to see you so excited. Your bonding nicely and I love her name Wilma it suits her
WOOO i'm so obsessed with her, she is going to be so good and strong after the winter and i love seeing her progress in these kinds of training videos
Well im loving Wilma so much ❤ definitely got the connie brain and a tb back end.
She's so well put together! Also, loving the comment that her muscles are like butter 🧈 😅 they've done such a brilliant job with her in her ireland home. Gave her the right start in life... 🏡 👏 she's definitely going to be one to watch megs thats for sure.
Love watching this type of vlog when you talk throughout the entire session on what your doing with her and why its so helpful and interesting but i like to see the progress as the sessions go on and move up the levels.
I like the way you're already very much in tune with her, especially picking up when she's tired, and it's time to end the session instead of pushing her too much too soon. The worst thing is to blow her brain too early on.
So yeah, well done megs you've got a real gooden there on your hands! Cant wait to carry on watching both of your journey together. Enjoy her ❤
What a sweetie! She's settled in so well. A gorgeous partnership is starting to blossom 🌸🌼
She's impressive. Very chill, very mannered, with tons of trust - if something isn't working out, instead of panicking, she just thinks through it and does it right the next time. You're looking confident and you're ready to help her; I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun together. I really loved the pole work and your reasoning behind it.
Y’all are so good together! Can’t wait to see y’all’s journey together! So exited
AW SHES SO CUTE
She is so lovely and her foundation is well done, she is so willing and smart! I see brilliant things in your future, happy I can tag along ❤😊
Those rugs look really well made, nice details on them! Wilma is looking like a very special horse.
I love seeing the different exercises, even simple ones. It gives me inspiration for everyday riding! ❤
I’m SO happy that you bought Wilma! She seems to have a lovely disposition, and clearly has talent to go far with you! She seems to have a very good brain for a young horse; not spooky or wanting to bronc, willing to listen to your aids and a quick learner. I’ve got a young horse myself, 5 going on 6, who is the same way (except much larger at 17.1 h 😂) It’s SO nice to have a young one with a good brain, that you can ride without the worry of them unexpectedly acting insane, and that you can mould into exactly what you want them to be. I can’t wait to see your progress with Wilma. Slow and steady is definitely the way to go, but I know that you both have a very bright future ahead! Much love from the USA! 😘 (Meant to add that you do a GREAT job of caring for your horses/ponies. It’s nice to see other horse people doing carrot stretches and having the physio out regularly. You’re a great horsewoman on top of being a great rider)
Can’t wait ur an amazing rider love ur channel
Lol😂 when you gave her a hug she looked at you like..." MUST you?" Lol!
She is still quite formal at thos point. Lol
Wilma is just so wonderful 😊 she seems to have settled in fantastically. you're so lucky to have such a brilliant team behind you with the horses 😁
As someone who is new to the training world I very much enjoy the informative videos showing what you do with her and how you do it! They are very educational as well as entertaining!
These are my favorite videos. Getting to see what you do gives me ideas for working with my ponies!! More of these videos with all the ponies please!!
She's so nicely built ❤ so excited to watch y'all grow as a team
She is really awesome
Wish someone would breed these in USA
Love her ❤
Hey Meggy, I used to have to drink tonnes of water too. Turns out I had magnesium imbalance (my diet contains a lot of calcium, which made a functional magnesium deficiency). Once I started taking magnesium, I no longer needed to drink tonnes of water.
Absolutely love her! So excited to keep watching your journey with her 🤍
She looks like she's dancing over the poles (at Emily's place)! ❤😍😊 Such a smart and cute girlie she is!! ❤
Oh my, I absolutely love Wilma! Excited to see your future adventures with her
She seems to have a really lovely attitude!
Wilma is definitely genetically bay! But she could be phenotypically brown depending on who you talk to. 😉 Also, smokey black looks the same as black, and the only way to tell the diris a test.
I think she looks stronger already. Looking forward to watching you guys compete next year. And lol at Hobbs peeking from the stall next door 😂
What a gem, love her ❤
Loving seeing the different pole exercises 💕
33:12 i loveeee that colour on Wilma. you are doing such an amazing job with her. cant wait to see what the future holds for u two, keep up the good work meg!!
Willma is made for you❤.....she is very relxed❤
SHE IS SO AMAZING
Love the work outs with Wilma. Its great to see her progressing. Very Smart Horse 💜🐎
Wilma is beautiful! I love her colour and you and her look great together! How is Jammy going?
Love home schooling sessions - so helpful and enjoyable to watch!
She's like dark chocolate!! Gorgeous, so much potential xx (I saved this vlog to start my weekend off right! lol)
I love the immediate relationship and confidence you have with Wilma, she is the one I thought suited you best when in Ireland. As your trainer said, YOUR horse,YOUR timescale to do what and when you choose, please don't rush her as she will try her heart out for you, but she is still a bit immature and needs to grow into the best she can be, also I would love to see Hobbit on board ❤ xx
Try ink or Benetton Blue on her, it suits my bay very well and would look stunning on Wilma 🤩🫶🏼🫶🏼
I love the Emily lessons content! I wish I didn’t live in Hawaii I’d be at her yard once a week for lessons on my 6 year old OTTB!
