@@elphick.event.ponies i will admit i was a doubter, my apologies !!! you are nearly a miracle worker truly. im sure you hear it all to often from us all but thank you for sharing your adventure and journey with us all
Wilma is looking so game and so much bolder. Once she figures it out, you all will be insane. She's stunning in the dressage and has come so far, especially since you said you don't work on it as much as you need to. This is definitely one of your best dressage tests and eventing rounds with her despite the spook.
The changes in Wilma are so apparent, she has gone from a very looky, spooky hesitant ride to a strong, bold and fast ride! Now it’s just finding the gears in between! You two have come SO far this season and you should be very proud 🎉❤
What a good dressage result. Her frame is coming along nicely. I like the fact that you realised you needed to work her up into your hand and not wiggle her down. Self awareness is so difficult to achieve and you are so on track. As you said it is practice and more practice. Shame about the step back but she still stepped forward and jumped it well, another improvement from the start of the season. I love the little jabs about being a brat, I so love your sense of humour and the banter you share with everyone, please never feel pressured to change.
This may sound counter intuitive, Meg, but have you thought about trying a milder bit over the show jumps? That new bit may be too harsh for her, which will cause her to panic a bit. I had a horse who tended to go full tilt at his fences. A milder bit with drop noseband worked well. (I used a hollowmouth eggbutt - nothing fancy). Just a suggestion. Every horse is different. I also found, with him, that leaving him alone and just giving a check a few strides before the fence helped, too. Cross country was a different story altogether. Trot the first fence, bolt until a tricky fence, then behave! LOL
Yeah I was thinking not to go stronger with the bit as she seems to react to it too much. More halting through the body and less with the hand? Easier said than done though I realise that !
@@bernster123 That's how I had to ride my horse. Seat, not hand. Someone in his past had sliced his tongue about halfway through when tying it down to stop him getting it over the bit. He was afraid of his mouth. When I tried him before buying, I didn't know that, though. When I tried him, he was in a rubber pelham with a long shank. No metal in the rubber mouthpiece - flexible. I had issues with that long a shank on the pelham - kept unintentionally shortening that rein. I was told he went in a plain snaffle, so tried that instead. First week I had him, he bolted in the back field - tongue over the bit (terrifying ride: he was faster than the Thoroughbred I had had, and leaned way over on the corners!). Hence the switch to the fat snaffle and drop noseband. Never any problems after that. Cross country I used a short shank mullen mouth pelham, and he was good in that.
Agreed. Wilma's response is a fairly classic response to a gag. Unbalanced rushing when the bit asks for an inverted frame and backing right off when the gag starts to get strong.
I recon she didn’t like the bit change! Clearly happier in the XC, she did a fab round with a tiny green moment. Very good season for you both, well ridden. And a great dressage score!
Great, she's now starting to take you to the fence which is what you wanted. And this round is so much more out of stride and flowing. She's all there and simply needs miles on the clock and not worrying about. She's green and she's learning. Once You are ready to taken on the 90 and 100 with here you will really begin to see what she is made of.
Meg can I just say that over your past few videos I've adored your slight editing changes! I really think you've got a great hold of producing such entertaining and high quality videos!
As a fence judge, I would have given you the 20. She saw the fence (and maybe the water) and took steps back. It was a refusal to go forward to the question. She’ll get there and will sail through it all soon enough! You’re still forming a partnership and she’s still learning!
You guys make me so happy. You transport me back to my teenage & IHSA (Intercollegiate Horse Show Association) days with so much giggling & smiles. Of course we wanted to win & took competitions seriously but it was so fun & our Club & team was all about learning & experience. One of my favorite memories was sitting in lawn chairs by the trailer listening to the radio & Bohemian Rhapsody played & we all new the lyrics, sang, head banged & decided to enter a Jumper class just for fun. We ended up 2, 5, & 6 out of 21! Ha! Thank you Queen. ❤️
She did lovely. I wouldn’t want to rush it with her keep her chillin and doing so well. Y’all are super critical of yourselves when you do so amazing. She’s just started she has a whole career ahead of her and built by you!
She has a really soft mouth … I’d seek Simon’s or Cameron’s advice re bits as sometimes stronger isn’t always the answer … we’ll done and great dressage 👏👏👏
Wilma looks great. Excellent dressage, bless her. She is improving & more importantly, she loves her job. Am sure you will make the necessary 'tweaks' Meg, as she matures. Great vlog, an injection of joy into my day. Thank you, Meg. A shout out to Hobbit, Han & Pete🎉
meg, have you ever considered using the soundproof bonnets for dressage with wilma? i’ve found it helps the babies focus a bit more even if they’re not overly noise reactive/spooky. Lemieux has a super smart one. great riding, it’s so amazing to see your partnership develop!
Aww she's gorgeous! Wilma will be one serious competitor soon enough! One tiny blip in each phase... mega!!! And can we just appreciate that dressage? So many big numbers there! Congrats on those collective marks too, so well deserved 👏🎉
I watched the lesson you had with the famous show jumper and he had you ride with longer stirrups. Do you think that would help you have more control and better balance with Wilma in the jumping ring? I know she likes to be supported when she jumps. Just a thought.
Meg i don't know what it is , but you just have a classy style about you on horse back when showing. Many competitors there that look terrific, but you just have that spark or something that really stands out in a classy way.
one hour seven? LOVE to see it i look forward to these vlogs so much n they’re literally part of my self care routine i watch them as a treat to myself :)
Wilma had come so far this year. It’s good to see her brain working during the cross country even if the paper didn’t show her improvement there. ❤ she’s going to take you so far congratulations on the progress you are making together ❤
Yfood has been an absolute save recently due to medical nonsense. Iv been hanging Of my next order incase there was a meg code in the hope you get something for me using it lol! Wilma is looking amazing, shes still a baba and your doing an amazing job! even the most experienced top field horses can change their minds on biting, see ghosts or back off something! I second trying a different noseband and lighter bit, theres a combo out there she will love..
My hubby is like Pete for looking for something.......he opens a drawer looks....doesn't move anything and says...not in there....Next opens a cupboard same....grrrrr really drives me mad!!!! Love him to pieces though! ❤. Love your channel and think you and Pete are perfect 🥰 🐴❤️
Loved this vlog. Meg your front bun between SJ & XC was first class 😆 I love you for that! Not the result any of us wanted for you but you both did so well and the vlog was so good I felt like I was there 🙌 xx
She's coming on heaps! Hopefully you can find a soft bit that you both like.. see a lot of riders cut straight to getting stronger/harsher bits because it'll give faster results than training will. No hate! Just hope the pressure of higher level riding doesn't shadow your already loving attitude to your gorgeous ponies ❤️🐎
Totally agree, horses definitely go through micro phases which feel like setbacks but always work out in the end when you just keep riding! Particularly in the first 6-12mths of owning them 😅 I feel like it’s a new problem every week for my horses
I’m in the U.S., and show in both the hunters and the show jumpers. Our nationally rated shows are usually 5 days long, and we have several classes a day. The hunters have to stay braided (similar to your plaits, but smaller and tighter), and most of us use professional braiders bc our smaller braids mean there are like 20 to do down the neck, and then the tail. Pricey and super time-consuming to have them all redone EVERY day, so we try to preserve them with hoods and tail wraps when we can. Obviously if it’s a million degrees, we don’t want to overheat the horses by making them wear hoods (even thought they’re just thin Lycra), so we have to pay for braids every day. 🤑 Competing,especially at the nationally rated level, is SUPER expensive here! Also, having a grey horse is a NIGHTMARE! After his purple shampoo bath and being braided, My grey hunter used to wear a full Lycra bodysuit with full-faced hood, with stable blanket in winter , and no-bow quilts and standing wraps on all four legs. And STILL manage to get manure stains!!! HOW??? Thank goodness for Magic Cowboy spray green spot remover!!!
So this might be a controversial topic and no one wanna talk about it. But ive thought about this for a while and feel like it has to be said. Weight - ive followed you since you where still in college and youve commented on it a few times that youve gained weight and such. And maybe so, but you actually look bagning, and you look healthy! A was personally a bit worried about how slim you where at some point. Youve grown up and our body changes when that happens. Just remember that! You are beautiful inside and out. Xo
@@melissax3144I think that was a very complimentary comment! There is SO much fat-shaming in ALL disciplines of riding and competing, I think it’s nice for someone to point out that Meg shouldn’t stress about saying she’s gained weight, and that she looks healthy and fit! Also nice of the commenter to acknowledge that we all come in different shapes and sizes! As long as we are following the 15% (or max 20%) weight rule, where we as riders, along with our tack, only weigh 15% or less of our FIT horses’ weights, then it’s not hurting the horse if a bigger rider is on a taller, larger bodied but fit horse who can carry a heavier rider without undue effort or any pain. I get teased for not getting on anything under 17.2 h that is a fit, younger adult horse. But I take my horses’ health and comfort seriously. So I have to use a tall mounting block for my short legs and arthritic knees; at least I know I’m not hurting my horse in any way. Even when I was much thinner, I still preferred larger horses. That’s just what I grew up riding, and I feel more confident on a big horse. The jumps look much smaller on a tall horse! 😂😂😂
What a shame about the 20 penalties! I think after a good winter of training you’re going to have a really good 2025 season together, she’s really come on this year! Xx
How times have changed, no neck straps in my time, we just grabbed the mane. I look how long people have their strap and wonder how you stay on, so in my mind it is just a security blanket. Having said that, we never worried about falling off because we were allowed to get back on and continue, so staying on wasn't a priority for us. Lol😂
I’ve seen a few eventing barns close to me use a kiddie splash pad at home when they can’t haul out to work on the horses that are backed off the water with very good results. Yall looked great especially compared to the start of the year much more bold❤
Wilma 🐎 did fab , really improved. Such a shame about the water. I was looking forward to seeing you guys at Bramham. Hope Geoff & I didn't work Pete too hard in Lancashire. Love you guys 💜
the impulsion comment will be because of the walk lacking purpose - potentially helped by getting the spurs off 🦄 and getting your leg on consistently like Simon suggested for the jumping phases
Dumb Question 🙋🏼♀️. How do the horses know the difference between high jump and a long wide jump? Or show jumping and eventing? Downhill jumps also seem unique. Great 🎉job with your ponies ❤. Love watching
WHY do people change bits at a show - do it in your yard, days/weeks in advance...ugh. If your horses could talk, that is the biggest thing theyd exclaim: WILMA: "Why?! Theres enough going on right now, I dont need to be dealing with a bit change, too! C'mon, please!" AND - what was that song/artist used on cc? Love it, and you. Have a flawless week! 💗🏆
She’s so sweet. To me the bit looks far too big for her mouth, sometimes I’ve found that happens with gags? Maybe hence her running through your hand x
She looks so good. Totally different horse. Shame about the little bits but she’s getting her. And I just need to say the lack of ‘Pete’s eats’ song really upset me. I was waiting to sing along and it just didn’t come. 😢
@@elphick.event.ponies just wait till it all clicks with her it will be so worth it , looking at the power she has in the showjumping she’ll be a machine round xc eventually, will she go in a Pelham?
Well done both of you. Can you please give an update on Jam and Winnie. Is it definite that Jam won't be able to go to Badminton? Her long life health is more important. Love your vlogs. And all girlies too.
I think she went well and could easily be doing the next level up. I really don’t think you presented to that fence at the water. She was too far away. Good riding Meg!
Meg you are looking and sounding very professional. I LOVE Wilma! Side note you very much remind me of Lucille Ball especially when you laugh. Absolutely Gorgeous! Ask your mom😂
So what your talking about in the show jumping happens to my thoroughbred in the canter and I know it sounds silly but I post it like 2 beets up 2 beets down. But that works for me but you know how no horse is the same.
Gags are a poor bit. They give a head up, head down signal simultaneously. I’ve seen endurance horses bolt out of the starting line due to being frustrated at the mixed signals being given from the riders hands. It’s not worth risking your, your horses or someone else’s life because of a bit.
Any chance of a change of her nosebands fleece to black? I think the white unreasonably highlights any slight head movement for the judges. She’s looking great though.
Love all your videos. But….. why on the way is your lorry right hand drive then on the way home it’s left hand drive?? I must be being thick but I can’t work it out 😂😂❤
Honestly Meg, its so obvious the amount of work you have done with Wilma, she's coming on so nicely
Awh thank you ❤️

A backstrap on the universal would help you massively rather then change if bit. Stops the bit over rotating :) so much better less spooky and wobbly!
As a fence judge, I would have given you the 20. She saw the fence (and maybe the water) and took steps back. It was a refusal to go forward to the question. She’ll get there and will sail through it all soon enough! You’re still forming a partnership and she’s still learning!
I wish they could do like ten penalties in a situation like that in comparison to completely stopping
The look Wilma threw at Pete when the bridle went on killed me 😅

Love the vlogs with Hobbit and Hannah soooo hilarious 😂😂❤❤
In AQHA we usually plait the night before, and we use a slicker. Works like a charm, and keeps everything clean and in place ❤

That canter before you went in 😍

So what your talking about in the show jumping happens to my thoroughbred in the canter and I know it sounds silly but I post it like 2 beets up 2 beets down. But that works for me but you know how no horse is the same.
For the whole round to keep the rhythm
Gags are a poor bit.
They give a head up, head down signal simultaneously.
I’ve seen endurance horses bolt out of the starting line due to being frustrated at the mixed signals being given from the riders hands. It’s not worth risking your, your horses or someone else’s life because of a bit.
22:03 My guess is 32!
Every man I've ever known is like that. They can't find things because they don't move anything to look under and behind stuff. 🤣
Any chance of a change of her nosebands fleece to black? I think the white unreasonably highlights any slight head movement for the judges. She’s looking great though.
My mare is in a universal from expert and she loves it ❤
I need to stop rewatching all your videos ngl
Can’t stop, won’t stop
Wilma is great. Just an unlucky moment on x-country. Also, is your lorry left-hand drive?
Loved it! 🏇😍🌭🍔🍕🍟I could have watched it all again ♥️! (which I will later 🙂)
Love all your videos. But….. why on the way is your lorry right hand drive then on the way home it’s left hand drive?? I must be being thick but I can’t work it out 😂😂❤
I thought the same😂😂. My only guess is the camera is inverted on the way home
Sorry, it's another what's the song question caused by me being an oldie😂 Whats the name of the song & band playing during the XC. please? please? 🤔😁
But she went on and took the water like a champ once she took just that small moment to get on the same page!
I love wilmaaa 🩷
Will you please do a cross country course mic'ed up?!
Earlyyy love you meg
great job I hope to be like you one day!
No Pete’s eats jingle 😭😭
I don’t think that should be your least favorite show jumping round. It’s way better to have a too bold horse than one who is stopping at fences
❤❤❤
I don't know of anybody else know this but Hannah is one gorgeous woman
Love ur volgs ❤❤
For some reason I thought Wilma was going to be a bigger horse?
You’ve taken Wilma hunting!? Where are the videos!! Go pro hunting videos are my fav!
She hunted before Meg owned her.
@@lolosrainydays oh ok! I guess I missed that
Great day - even if the final scores weren’t quite there. The title sounded so much worse! 😜❤❤❤❤
As a newish follower, I really need to ask who is Hobbit and why is she called Hobbit? Also Wilma looks super
Hobbit is Megan’s mom, her real name is Janette and I believe she got the nickname Hobbit because she is short
