6 years later, I take my foal eventing 🥺

Well, this is a rather momentous occasion - finally taking my little homebred Winnie to her first-ever event. Due to the hideous weather we have had in the UK, our prep has been anything but perfect, which did lead to a rather disastrous-looking score. However, if you put the final score on paper aside, we had the best day out, and I got a glimpse of what a truly exceptional little event horse Winnie is going to be one day. Join us as we head to Hazleton Manor for a second time this week for Winnie's first proper party

Those girls speaking in the background of your showjumping round is so adorable 🥺

I was just coming to say this too! It actually made me teary eyed. What a great role model 😊

HI FEI!

[@annabellerawlinson]

There's something about you and Whinne that looks really harmonious, I have a feeling that she's going to become one of your best 🩵

[@malloryalford9808]

I cannot believe that little foal out of Jam is absolutely growing up to be an eventing star like her mommy! It’s such an exciting time, Meg! Congratulations to the both of you! 🎉❤

[@Max_Cooper-ec8ri]

It’s so funny that Jam Bam and Winnie have got similar personalities and both are AMAZING at eventing yet Winnie doesn’t look like Jammy at all! 😂❤

[@JohnEnsor]

I can’t believe it’s been 6 years till Winnie was a little foal!!❤️❤️

[@Courtmaster121]

As much as I love Wilma to bits and drool over her every video, Winnie I think is the nicest horse in your barn. She's going to go SO FAR and she's so incredibly smart!

[@clairewatson3990]

Omg Meg, I actually got really emotional watching her do cross country!! She was LOVING it, her little ears pricked constantly!!! She's is fantastic!! Jam 2.0 here we come!!! 🤣🤣 Congratulations, so proud of u both!! ❤️❤️

[@TeamTLS101]

Winnie definitely has wings ! The way she pinged those fences 🦄 can absolutely see her following in her mums footsteps !

[@katiemclean4086]

I started watching when Whinnie was still a baby in the field. This is so exciting 🥹💕

[@I.A.K.88]

The only thing better then Han and Meg is Han, Meg, and Hobs! I love watching the BFFs. More love for Hannah!! And well done Meg and Winnie! Very exciting!

[@sasha56777]

Oh Winnie Woo! She's all grown up🥹 and looking absolutely mega, definitely her mother's daughter. Your future together is going to be very special.

[@law7897]

Congratulations Meg. Winnie was so good, she had her ears forward the majority of the time. I think she really enjoyed her day out xx

[@jd_.cooper._eq]

For being so young, shes doing amazing, my lad has been doing canter transitions for years and now at 9 years old, he's only just reached the point winnie is at 😂

My 12yo is only doing transitions 😂

Great video Meg. Great shots Pete. Well done Super Groom Han. The shot Pete got of you patting her in the cross Country, Winnie's eye lit up, and I could hear her saying, "hey, this is fun". Awesome!

[@Shima_2510]

Winnie is going to be a very special pony! She is looking fantastic in all phases and it's so good to see her grow and gain her confidence. It is so heartwarming seeing the biggest smile on your face throughout all of it. x

"Oh my god that's Megan Elphick! MY PHONE! I NEED MY PHONE!!!" 🤣

[@sarahcooper3378]

Another great day. You have produced Winnie brilliantly, you should be very proud. She is going to be a really fun horse. ❤

[@VIPEqTHud]

She is mega. Anyone would be thrilled with that dressage test, even with a more experienced horse. The backwards feeling you get is probably a nervous thing. The warblood side when they go inward and feel stuffy but also sharp with it. If that what you feel you hide it well as she is incredible 🎉

[@topgunsmaverick]

Eh can we all just talk about how good Meg rides the babies????????😳 confidence confidence confidence!!!! So well ridden mate!!!!

[@jenniferquinn5010]

You can see how proud she was of herself at the end. Such a pleasure to see. She looks like she is getting a nice horse stride really covering the ground. What a good start. Nice to hear your plan for the next steps to build her confidence. Such a fun vlog to watch thankyou.

[@Krinsta1]

Pete's work is so fantastic 👏 The slow mo and music so professional.

[@esthers.9185]

Great job with producing Winnie up to the point that she's gotten! And I absolutely love that on that last showjump, you just smiled because you knew she tried her best and it's still a big moment to complete her first event regardless of any faults. She did absolutely great in the dressage as well! She worked hard during that event, give her a treat from me! ❤❤

[@kilmiya]

that transition at 31:00 is chef’s kiss 👌🏻

[@Siobhan_Shivaun]

Aw proud auntie moment!!! Bit disappointed Hobbit wasn't there to keep telling Winnie she was a good girl! I guessed 27 for the dressage!! You all heard me, right? Right...? Winnie is deffo a star of the future!!! 🌟 🌟 💖 💖

Yay my favorite horsey KZbinr has uploaded! Can watch this whilst making dinner :) I already know that I'll love this video 😁 xx Well done on producing such a cracking mare!

Can we talk abt that transition from the warm-up to jumping like mm chefs kiss

[@urfavlace]

she has truly grown up to be a prize! 🏆 she is so well built and a great horse you’ve raised meg❤ well done🎉❤😊

[@annejarvis7002]

Fantastic first event - wonderful Winnie🎉 It's going to be great to follow your journey. Winnie shows such tremendous promise. A shout out to all "Team Elphick" 🤗🥳 You have awesome support Meg. Han is a superstar. Congratulations Meg on producing yet another great eventer, you rode her beautifully. A shout out too, to your 'super fans' how cute were they🤗

[@Golden1989-days]

Wow. Airborne cross country 🤣. So well ridden. A very long day for her to pull together and what fun for the future. Great to see you enjoying cross country again Meg 👏👏👏

Massive congrats on finishing your first event with Winnie! Well done everyone. She's well on her way to superstardom!

[@jessicaruhl7314]

Winnie loved her big day out, she was adorable - taking everything in stride. Jammy must be proud 😂 Meg, you should be too, you give such a positive confident ride for your ponies!

[@lilypeate7007]

31:00 No one talking about that transition! Satisfying❤

[@annjohnson8437]

Winnie is coming along nicely! You both looked like you had a great time! ❤

[@lisamerkel]

Wonderful!! I absolutely love Winnie. Her movement is amazing, and the dressage test was so good! One of my favorites I've seen from you, it looked lke you two could easily communicate the whole time, and she was trying so hard!

[@kellymaavich5815]

It would be interesting to see side by side video of Jam and Winnie. Great job Winnie!

Fabulous dressage , a lot of mum there , so very cute & honest . Loved the xc huge jumps over some & others travelling nicely , the water won’t be an issue when she understands it , what a mega little superstar in the making. 🤩

Fabulous Winnie 👏 aww the young girls in the background sound " it's Megan Elphick"( girl fanning) bless. Great vlog and loved all the giggles 🤣 💜 Good luck 🍀 for Badders next week Meg and Jammie 🍀

[@Track2HackStandardbreds]

Aw, Whinnie reminds me waaaaaay too much of my wee cobby pony 😅❤️ Gosh she is just going to blossom the more you take her out, she was giving those jumps some serious air time!! She put out such a lovely dressage test, really kind and willing and could see how much she was trying to please. Is it too weird to say I love watching her bum jiggle in slow-mo? Wish my pony had muscle like that!! 🫣😂 Love the slightly sassy opinionated young mares, once you have them on side they’ll jump the moon for you. She’s one to watch for the future ❤️❤️

[@sweetzcandy9948]

Oh she is easily your novice pony! She is super. Can’t wait to see her future ❤

That last show jump fence you brought down was the only fence where you had your head and shoulders forward and you were looking down !!!!

Ooh I think she really has the makings of being a super smart little horse! She's pretty cool.

[@melodyjamesz]

How brilliant was Winnie a real credit to all the work you have put in with her I can see a wonderful future for her and you together we'll done Megs xxx Just on a side note ....does anyone else find themselves watching the other horses/ponies warming up etc? I was watching the horse with the lovely big feathers! Good luck for Badders so excited!! ❤❤❤🐴🐴🐴

[@abbebladon]

“Omg hats Megan Elphick” that little girl at show jumping was so cute! But your Winnie was super duper cute! Bless her, she jumps just like Jammy, knees high and tries so hard ❤❤❤❤❤

[@jenniferlehman326]

So chuffed for you!! The water was all baby!! She was really jumping well and galloping out well !! This is another one, like Wilma, that's going to be a winner in the future for you. We'll done, Winnie!! It's a great training round, again. That's how you have to look at it. I'm so chuffed for you!! A few 70 cm runs, and she'll be able to advance up to the 80 cm faster than you think!! But she definitely needs some water practice first. You rode her well, Meg, representing the water to her, and getting her to go in. So proud of you. She's so careful, too. Reminds me a lot like Jam. Love from your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦

[@Gabby_Equestrian]

I just love how when Whinne is jumping she always shows off her little ballet legs❤️😅😂 You guys did amazing for dressage, showjumping, and cross country by the way! Great job!❤️😊

[@urlocalchestnutmaregirlie3394]

I’m so proud of you and Winnie! I can’t imagine how emotional it was for you, to go from owning a little baby foal, to an eventer! ❤

I have been following you since the very first video, so back when Winnie was just a baby. It is so cool seeing her out eventing now, she did so, so well for her first time! What a testament to your great work with her (and also Jam`s mega DNA😂)

[@zaktheadventuredog4024]

Well done Winnie! Shes so cute!!! I keep saying this but Winnie is going to be a cracking eventer. I bet your a super proud mum, Meg! You and the gang had a great day out 😄. Love your eventing Vlogs!!! xxxx

[@rmfan2092]

Whodathunk Winnie would be the most sensible superstar and Wilma would be so spooky? Watching her journey from being backed to her first event has been so enjoyable! Minus that water which wasn't her fault, she'd likely have placed! Such a bright future!! Congrats Meg!

[@ponyparty28]

A trick I found when doing water with babies at a competition and with such a wide entry like this one is to keep one of their eyes on the land and one on the water - so you enter at about a 45* angle - much like when you introduce them at the beach to the tide - it seems to help with their "sea legs" and they will see a bank or land closer so they don't feel so intimidated by the mass of water in front of them. 🦄💖😇 Wyn's got one heck of a jump in her (scope) 🌟 be easy to do the higher fences on her once she gets more forward/horizontal rather than vertical 😅😇

[@kiaradoesart9682]

Woooo Winnie! That bascule! Practically a pogo stick 🥰

[@trabash505]

I'm a tad emotional already today, but I'm just sobbing happy tears for you and Winnie! She is going to be such a legend in the eventing world! She looks absolutely stunning already and I cannot wait to see her develop into an absolute super star! Well done, Meg! You should be so proud of you and your baby! ❤❤

[@kristiwetsel9531]
