I absolutely loves Simons approach to everything and they way he speaks to the horses! I didn’t know much about him but wow he has gained so much respect from me, it was ‘boring’ like he said it was so fascinating and I will definitely be using these techniques in the future. He is just so soft with the horses it lovely to watch.

Winnie has greyed out so much since I last saw her on a video! Also, such nice vibes in this video, I love how considerate and careful Simon is with the youngsters!

It's beginning to feel a lot like Vlogmas! 🤩 🎄

I adore Simon on Winnie, such a good idea Meg! Him saying he's boring is just hilarious because you can literally see the horse improve every minute.

Tell Simon he absolutely does not need to apologize! As a rider / trainer I absolutely LOVE videos like this, they are already like a free study session, and I also love to share them with a young friend of mine that wants to be a trainer as really great examples of training. Especially for this one I think the biggest lesson is that slowing down at the very start is the best way to build a truly solid foundation.

How can you watch this and not walk away with a little crush on Simon????? And how epic is Winnie?!?

[@FarrenDowning]

Absolutely adore Simon's nature with horses. Such good horsemanship and definetly a good egg to surround yourself with. The way he takes the time to help her adjust to the water and doesn't push her, instead guides her through on foot. No pressure, no rush, no arguments or frustration, just super understanding that she's a baby and needs to take her time to feel confident. What a superstar he is ✨️

[@clairecakes9860]

A lot of people forget that horses really are heard animals. It’s so nice to see a trainer that uses this principle and isn’t afraid to do that kind of groundwork. It would be so much easier if people just got off sometimes.

[@freemanfarms2011]

“My little treasure” ❤❤❤ what a joy to watch, SO many equestrians could learn so much from this vlog so refreshing to see such horsemanship

[@MaeveByTheWaves]

I just adore Simon and his whole demeanor about riding and training. If only all professionals took a similar approach! Also obsessed with the grey in Winnie’s tail!

[@rhythmandblues_alibi]

Simon is the best 💖

[@janw491]

Winnie looked like she was having as much fun as you guys

[@Lil_Nuggles]

I LOVE when Simon says, "Good girl, Darling." He is just so endearing, loving and lovable! Thank you for including him in your Vlogmas! ❤️

[@jenniferlehman326]

Simon did a fantastic job with Winnie. Slow and steady will always win the long race. And that's what you have to look at, especially with a young horse. Make them LOVE THE JOB you are asking them to do for the rest of their life!! Keep them Safe, make them Confident and keep them Happy in their job, and they will always give their heart and soul to do it for you. You couldn't have picked a better person to start Vlog-Mas with, Meg!! Especially since he was riding your new pride and joy, Winnie. Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦

I find each little "hee hee" and "whee" is incredibly charming and I'm not entirely sure why. Winnie is so beautiful (the tail!). I know nothing about horses, so I can't comment on anything else, but you do have a very lovely horse. 😊

[@user-re1hy6if7d]

I've been a fan of Winnie since the vid several years ago when she was really a baby, running with some of the mares, and she had the most flowing gallop of any of them. Nothing bunchy-grabby about her use of the rear end (typical of some breeds. When a 2yo has that kind of flowing movement, and a big loose-moving walk, it's a good sign. Then her first loose jumping moments...yeah! And today, loved the changes in her facial expression, and her movement with Simon. She hooked right in to what the big deal was, and she was all for it. Even that first jump over the log in the hedge...she was looky, but not eager to refuse...just 'Wait, what?...oh...okay, then."

[@magicaltrails]

What a fabulous start to Vlogmas! Simon is THE BEST. What an absolutely wonderful attitude he has with a young horse. Winnie clearly loved him, and who wouldn't? He gave her so much confidence, and I'll bet you can tell the next time you get her out to jump!

[@user-gx2xd9nm5x]

i just love how simon talks to her and calls her darling its just so sweet you can realy tell that meg and simon love there horses and that winnie trusts them xxx
