It's finally time to go eveniting after a dire start to the season with five competitions cancelling. Today we have Jammy out at Oxstalls for her first run of the year, and it's an important one, because it determines whether I do the 90cm or 100cm at Badminton Horse Trials...

Absolutley loved the new addition of the judges comments on the screen while doing dressage! Keeps me as a viewer more engaged and to try to see what the judges are looking for, please continue with it!!
Thanks so much for the feedback!!
Exactly!
I was just about to comment the same!
I agree! Very helpful! ❤
Pete’s Eats walked so Granite Lens Media could sprint 🤣🤣🤣 glad to have him back
Not even nearly done. but i really like the judges comments in the corner for the dressage its a lovely little detail!
Pete’s filming of the show jumping was wonderful! I love watching Jammie in slow motion. Fab first XC of 2024 for team Elphick!
the judges Comments were very productive and fair. love to see that, especially from what i hear from my friends in Dressage about some judges. lovely rounds
I did not realize how much I missed Pete's Eats until the theme song started.
Congrats Meg and Jam on a brilliant run!
WELL DONE MEG FOR 2nd!!!! 🥈 you & jammy definitely deserved it!! Love you all!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
LOVE the judges comments on screen, just would love some more time to read the end comment! (I’m too busy drooling over Jammy to read fast 😅) Would love a pre-Badders breakdown of all the different gear you use and why you use it! Bits, bridles, nosebands, boots, all of it! 🤩
Love love LOVE being able to read the judge’s comments during your test.
Well ridden considering the lack of opportunities for events and the excitement Jam had. Lovely to watch.
An hour-long vlog, Jammy looking beautiful against the green grass and yellow dandelions, the return of Pete's Eats, *plus* a great result - what a treat for all of us! Congrats and well done on dealing with less-than-optimal conditions :D
In case the judge didn't note it, those are the best hooves I've seen all damn day.
Watching how useful that little truck has been for you, definitely confirms for me that I need something similar.
What a big heart Jam has, she tries so hard to keep you safe.
Loving the judges comments Meg, I’m always interested in what they have to say. Also, Hoorah for Hobs’ commentary!!! And finally, well done on a blooming stinking 2nd place. So chuffed for you 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Loving the production of this video allowing us to see the dressage test comments but not losing Hob's commentary and all the slow mo. Great run before badders
It hilarious to see you chatting away after the cross country while your mum is working away getting studs out and washing Jam down in the background - I know that isn't how you operate, Meg, but it is cute how great your mum is at letting you do your thing while industriously taking on all the grooming etc
Loving the voiceover from Hobbs, soo calming, and the judges notes are a beautiful touch. You are soo thoughtful Meg Mog. Well done team Elphick and GLM 💋❤️💋❤️
I feel so proud of you as I watch you gallop around the xc course, doing what you love even though you are nervous. Fear from falling off your horse is a very real liability that takes time and courage to handle. I suffered a brain injury from a fall 9 years ago. I have learned to be more careful and aware of myself and my horse and my surroundings while riding. It made me ‘ sharper’ which in turn has built my confidence. You’re doing so well Meg. Be kind to yourself - you deserve support from yourself.❤
i love the addition of showing the judges comments during the dressage test!!
jfc... Jam is a MACHINE! like watching her cross country is beautiful... absolute poetry in motion.
Omg an hour long eventing vlog?!?! AMAZING🎉 so excited to watch!!!
Jammy's baaaccckkkk!! Something amazing about watching you and Jammy at full chat on a Cross Country run!!
Love the judges comments in the dressage part! ❤ they used very nice, positive wording, which is nice to see!
I agree with sunlight being evil my migraines have been awful as well as the moment but I think it’s down to change in pressure in the environment but you have been doing so well riding through them never give up what you love because of them ❤
Well done!! The mental thing about dwelling on mistakes is not uncommon, especially when you truly care and want always to do/be your best, which you clearly do. Maybe treat yourself the way you would treat others and be a bit more forgiving of your mistakes, learn from them, then let them go. We are always our worst critics. You are a really lovely rider.
I LOVE it when horses see a stride and absolutely put it into gear! It's exhillerating to watch. One day I'll get to feel that myself 🥰
Well done Meg (& Jam) 🎉great to see you out eventing. Fantastic performance reflected in the result. Thanks for sharing & big thanks to all Team Elphick. Keep the positivity going Meg & remember how much progress you have made. Try to be in the moment, enjoy your beautiful horse & make the most of your experiences - you really have got this. Love & best wishes to all❤
Jam isn’t even out of breath st the end of the cross country - what a horse J she looks after you as do you take care of her - you’re a fab team 🎉🎉
Stopping the iPad kids from saying first
I mean i have an iPad but I’ve never said first
@@HORSESANDSOUTHPARK lol same
Love you for this 😁
I’m 14 years old and I love my iPad so much 😭😭
You’re doing god’s work
What a fab horse she is. She's just so clever over a fence and really loves her job.
You both looked so happy during this vlog especially in the dressage. Happy to see a smile back on your face Meg! Xx
when watching the dressage test I love the huge smile on Meg's face, so amazing to see you out again!!
Everything just gets better and more up-hill, all round, Elphick Event Ponies. WEll done team. Loved the tripart screen, showing same jump, different angles. Congrats :)
Jam is so honest and such a tryer. Would love to see you focus on eventing her and daughter Winnie this season.
Well ridden Meg, in very sub-optimal conditions! Love that Jammy too! She's a star. You've brought her along beautifully and she's a super girl. I had you pegged for a better score than your "support" network, haha (but I love Hobbit and Pete and it's always wonderful to see Hobbit out and I love her commentary and just like that, Pete's become a proper cinematographer, but I'm super glad he's still food criticing on the side!). I also love the addition of the comments box during your tests! Great and innovative idea!
I just love every single video you put out, Meg!
I appreciate how much you give credit to your horses, but you have to give yourself some credit too! ❤ You rode well, the hiccups were not as big as you thought! 🥰
I do love that the focus is on Jammie, and her performance, which is what I love about your channel - especially when in some upper level dressage it's all about the rider. Oh and "the horse" 😢
Your passion and very obvious love for your horses shines the most, keep up the great work, Meg 😊❤️
You guys are awesome to teach your kids to be responsible and respectful of your camp side even though you may not stay there keep it up
Congrats on 2nd place Meg and Jam Bam!🎉
That pony can jump anything out of any stride, she's incredible and Meg's adaptive riding creates such a fab partnership.
Can't wait to see how Winnie and Wilma are doing ❤
I always feel Jam looks very pleased with herself after jumping😂💪🏻( and rightfully so!)
Big congrats on an amazing first event of the season!! Loved having Hobbes out doing commentary and Pete’s Eats!
Fab to see you and G back together. Loved that you kept that in. Great job Jam and you ❤❤
Yayy have been waiting for this the whole week
Great first run Meg. You did great. Great shots Pete. Well done.
OMG what an absolute angel Jammy is... I literally timed my break at work to watch this video.. to see her now from the quick sales video when u got her.. absolutely amazing 🎉🎉 Well done both of u. Can't wait for Badders!!
Jam is the GOAT! She is such an honest, talented mare! Well done! ❤
Best hooves I've seen all day on Jam!
Wow Jam is such a clever jumper Meg well done both of you you rode her very well Meg. Your mum is adorable and Pete that was some beautiful slomo camera work loved it .tfs🤗🏇🤗
Well done 2nd on your first outing, that's fabulous.
Just rewatched this vlog. What a brilliant start to your season plus a huge boost for Badders 👏👏
I took on board your issue regarding the one chip in early on the course that took your attention.
I just remembered some points that Lucinda, Piggy and other eminent riders have coached you with and I only repeat them to you to try and encourage your positive thoughts.
So, as I recall, strong forward working canter, aim for the centre of the flags as best, let the horse read the fence and get involved when you know there are “tricks” coming up, shoulders back, head up (do not look down), heels down, keep your feet in front of your hips, strong fingers on the reins but don’t fix your hands on the horses neck, and keep very giving elbows.
I believe it was mentioned jump one fence at a time and let go as soon as it is jumped to allow you both to focus on the next fence.
You’ve done all the hard work and you are both looking great. Deep breath and kick on. Best of luck 🤞
Loving the editing on this. Great work from you and your team
I think the 'bag' trick is very clever. Good way to keep the jacket clean.
Living for Hobbit's commentary!!!
I reckon Winnie will be a spicier version of Jamjam 💖
This is very random but as an OG Meggy fan, I’m SO glad u brought back the Pretty Caroline song, honestly I have it in my own playlists hahaha I love it
Not sure what I loved more, Jammy being so epic, or Petes Eats!
I love the new comments from the judges
Meg and Jam, the GRAND SLAM 😊❤!!! The Talented Team. So very happy for U2, all that hard work pays off❤. Admirable. Thank you very much Megan for all your hard work and for inviting us to be a part of horsey life❤. You spread joy and goodness into this word, honesty, life as it is, with all the ups and downs. Love it❤. And that visual quality, as well as the quality of the sound in the vlog: WOW!!!! Well done Pete, SUPER 😊!
TAKE CARE. Go see a doctor if your migraine gets any worse. Please. 🙏 I am sorry that you have to suffer all that pain, Meg. It is exhausting. 💕
So good ON YOU for GOING out eventing, I understand HOW heard it's been.Han YOU are a GOOD sport , SO good to see jam OUT eventing , We us to to put hoof oil ON the night be fo.And stud UP with road studs to save time, jam now's it's a pony party. 👍👍 wow that looked amazing, Well done for the first EVENT. 😄😄😄😄😄😄👍👍👍💖 TAKE care and all the best .

Well done Megan and gorgeous clever Jammie! She was amazing 👏 😊
Hooray! Eventing vlogs are back! Well done Meg, you and Jammie were amazing! 🎉❤
Loved it! Meg can you do a video, even if its just a short one, on what bathing products you use on a grey and how you plait please, so like a getting ready for a competition in depth? Have a great week!xx
Fab idea! Would love that!!!
Finally good weather 🤞🤞
Well done meg and jam. I also absolutely love how you have edited this vlog it's so funny xx
It is so obvious that Jamelia LOVES cross country!! I love her enthusiasm 🎉 Well done to both of you ❤❤❤
It's so hard when you're a perfectionist.....it was a brilliant t day Meg. Well done 😊
EEEKKK I've been eagerly awaiting the first eventing vlog of the year!! Congrats Meg & Jammy on an excellent start to the season. Absolutely smashed it🥈🥈
This is brilliant Jam is epic and I think you rode well considering the conditions👏 a what great content too! This gives me motivation as I’m taking my self produced exracer cross country training for the first ever time today😱🤞
She is so incredible. Congratulations.
loved having the Judges comments to the dressage test. Thanks for putting in the extra work!
When can we expect Wilma to do an event like this? You did so well Meg!
She's did one today 19/5/24, meg posted it on her Instagram! x
More excited about Winnie than Wilma
Eventing vlog, Georgia, AND Pete's Eats?! we were spoiled with this one!
You're amazing Meg! We all love you in Scotland ❤
Awww jam was so well behaved and is so honest Well ridden Meg ❤
Just watching and oooh I love the comments with each movement thank you Meg. Beautiful test - well done. I’d love to see marks too but only if you’re happy to share of course 😊
Also a lot of respect for you vlogging with a Migraine. I’m just coming out of one and slightly struggling to watch this - but I can’t wait! You probably know this but attempting to avoid triggers- certain foods, stressors, and also your cycle can be factors 🙄
Awesome job though! Can’t wait to follow your eventing journey again this year xx
Your right she is a legend, well done both of you x
So glad PETE'S EATS is back!!!!!
Great first event. Be proud of yourself and her
YAY EVENTING IS BACK!
I missed these videos so much!! And I absolutely love the judges comments during the test!
I love when Georgie makes a cameo- you two have the best chemistry- fun to watch!
Like the dressage score format. You both looked very smart. And love how Jam moves away from the xc fences 🔥
Loving the new comments as you are doing the test. ❤
Well done! I think you are right about the stickiness. It must have been a little scary in the beginning cross country. but by the end you were letting her out and both of you seem to be enjoying yourselves. And a second place! I think you are right too. Jam seems to thrive on the bigger fences and the more difficult questions. She can certainly do Badders 100.
Brilliant. Well done. Through my complete amateur eyes, she looked great, as did you Meg and all your training is paying off. I didn't see any pulls from you Meg. Jam looked well ready to event. I'm getting excited about Badminton for you. ❤
Well done Meg and Jam! So happy for you, was smiling ear to ear watching x
I can’t explain how excited I am to see you and G together again, definitely need her back in the vlogs
What a fantastic start, congrats!! I think the jumping was great, you rode to the conditions and what your horse was feeling :) And I know, comments on the internet, just take with a grain of salt, but something my dressage coach told me recently (and has helped me with every horse but particularly, control my bold, fairly newly off the track pony) is to half halt with their hind leg foot fall, either rein with either foot, to balance them and get them to sit onto that particular leg, and I cannot believe how much it has changed my riding (after 28 yrs competing sj/eventing) it also makes me stop pulling so much (and brings them back way better) because I tend to hold way too much, because I have to kind-of time the half halts to their rhythm. Anyway, sorry for the essay/masterclass, I'll shurrup now lol! CONGRATS!!!
She is sooooo cool! 😍. Welldone Meg. I think she uses her neck to balance like her 5th leg. She is sooo clever . Xx
Please can you do a vlog on how you plait jammy‘s mane and tail as you make it look so GOOD!!! 😍
Yay, the season begins 🎉
Lovely overall picture in the dressage,(difficult to use enough leg when pony fresh!) Thought your self-analysis of the showjumping was spot on! Ditto for XCountry, especially re half-halts. But what a fantastic prep-run, and vlog, loved Hobbit content, and Pete’s Eats! Big clap Meggy! 👏🏻😀.
Back to epic times!!!!❤ Love it!
Meg talking about someone more confidant taking her cross country, in my mind suddenly popped ellie, image ellie taking her cross country! But Meg you ride so incredibly well you need to start crediting yourself a bit more! ❤
I just to give some love to your editor bc the video quality has just soared to a whole new level and they're absolutely beautiful to watch.
Omg I have been waiting for thiss 1🎉🎉❤
Try seeing a good chiropractor for your headaches. With all you do, it could be something in your neck, or the bones in your head (yes there are multiple bones in your skull! 😂) that could be the cause. Anyway, it would be an easy approach and easy to solve, if that’s the case, and worth a try. Hope you feel better!!! And congrats to you and Jam. She’s a gem!💎(Gemima! Haha!)💗
Oh god I’ve missed the event vlogs😍😍😍😍
Well done Meg and Jammie you were both amazing
So chuffed for you, Meg!! You really started to ride more positively after that blue haywagon, and it showed! Jam got you out of some sticky situations once again, but that's not because of how you presented the fence to her, but more because of ground conditions, I think. But all in all, a solid Dressage, a solid Show Jump round and a Clear in X Country!! Giving you the Second place!! Congratulations!! With so many events canceled, and this being her first outing, you were wise to do the BE90. I personally think you would have been overwhelmed doing a BE100 straight out off. Again, congratulations on your 2nd place finish.Jam, once again, was the legend she normally is!! Your friend, the Retired Paramedic, Horse Trainer and former FEI Judge
The key fight was soo reall hahahaha
