BADMINTON (Part 2) Showjumping & Cross Country

[@stinevdp]

I love Freddie his commentary on your jumping. He's so precious. You're incredible Meg! I'm glad you had such a support team with you

[@elphick.event.ponies]

So funny wasn't he, thanks very much!

[@melaniejaynejones6436]

Wow and amazing. You are such an inspiration to many. You and Jam made it look effortless and so deserved the win ❤ I was in tears seeing Tinax's vlog and then again catching up with you this evening. Tears of joy and happiness for you, Jam, your mum, and the whole team that makes Elphick Event Ponies as special as they are ❤ Can't wait to hear what you are up to next. We'll done Meg, congratulations on winning 6th place at Badminton 🎉🍾🥂🥕🍎🍏

[@Night-Nicky]

I actually cried too! Happy tears 🥹🥹🥹

[@bettybakebake]

Holy Crap, where's Meg?? You've turned into a proper show jumping professional. I can believe how much your seat changed after I saw you with Mike somebody or either, the one who talked about riding like a jockey and your feet forward or back. What a change, sitting up, not yanking her back. I'm thrilled for you all: you; jam; and Wilma. Everyone will benefit from the changes you've implemented. Bravo! Now I'll settle in to watch the rest of this long awaited part 2!!!

[@dogman1970]

You actually cry? Get a grip!

[@hopesheehan7159]

You guys are like a Penske pit crew at the Indy 500. Well done Jammy and Meg. I always cry when you ride and I think it’s because she tries so hard and loves you.

[@elphick.event.ponies]

😂! She is such a kind horse!

[@HH-mz2pw]

Haha, so I'm not the only one 😂❤.

[@timianfroberg1772]

please tell me I wasn't the only absolutely balling my eyes out during the cross country.. especially at the end ?? I've said it before, and I'll say it again: YOU ARE AMAZING, MEG !!!!

[@BlobTheCob]

I saw fence 1 and thought “okay this is doable” then fence 2 appeared and I nearly cried🤣 So unbelievably proud of you man! I remember when you were saying you didn’t know whether you wanted to do the 90 or the 100, you braved it and you absolutely SMASHED IT! And Jam of course😂❤️

[@TheDeviousFox]

Sat here crying for a stranger I've never met! Meg Elphick you are a inspiration to all us armatures, wannabes, enthusiasts and pony lovers. You have shown us a true representation of what equestrian sport can be. The highs the lows the confidence spills and everything in between. Pure chills watching your cross country round. Just phenomenal riding on a phenomenal pony. You make me want to be a better equestrian every time I watch you!

[@vogelvrouw]

Seeing you with your little connie next to the other people on their "proper sport horses" put into perspective how well you did, yes jammy is a very good pony that gets you out of trouble, but this is still a bit of an uphill battle for her!

[@ljmequestrian504]

Seeing little Jammie with her short fat neck lined up with those other horses really hits home what a great team Jam and Meg are and what they have accomplished together! ❤

[@vogelvrouw]

@ljmequestrian504 exactly! Seeing jam normally with the other ponies you really forget how pony she is

[@EleanorNeville618]

That was my take away too. What a pony!

[@kellylawrence9438]

When she's tired you see her hooves turn to the left during a jump. He knows not to touch them. She really gave it her all. So did you Meg. Congratulations 🎉👏

[@elphick.event.ponies]

Thank you! ❤

[@Louisefenner]

Jam is always the littlest horse at prize giving. Dynamite in a little package!

[@elphick.event.ponies]

Tiny compared to the rest wasn't she! 🥹

[@lafonevc5663]

What a lot of fun you've offered while letting us see your progress. A deserved result and well ridden. Hats off to your supporters and trainers too. I think this defines 'journey'.

[@elphick.event.ponies]

Thanks so much, it sure has been full of ups and downs!

[@Zuzu.and.Kian.]

To see how much you and Jam Bam have improved over the years just warms my heart so much 🥹 I can’t wait to see you guys out there again in 2025!!

[@elphick.event.ponies]

Thanks so much!

[@Zuzu.and.Kian.]

@@elphick.event.ponies Of course! You’re literally my favorite equestrian KZbinr ever! I hope I can meet you next year at badminton!

[@deesolomon4819]

Looking into Jammies eyes, you can see what a sweet soul she has with the heart of a lioness. Brilliantly ridden by you Meg,.So, very, very well done.It made me cry buckets 😂😂😂

[@annjohnson8437]

You can tell Jam loves her job and she really loves Meg! ❤

[@m0ll796]

My favourite part of this video was the care and attention to Jam immediately after cross country. Celebrations came after her welfare, what a team ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@helensmart8521]

At the International 3DE in Melbourne which is just around the corner, horses come off xc into an enclave where they get a vet check, temperature etc. I'm surprised that doesn't happen in the UK especially at Badminton (unless it happens and everyone just leaves it our of their vlogs but I doubt that is the case)

[@egeegee7146]

Well you can ride a forward stride! Well done on that round. She was tiring six or so out. She stopped gaining height and begins to throw her front legs side ways to clear things but my goodness what an incredible little mare with a heart as big as a bucket. Congratulations on producing her to such a standard. Great to watch.

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Finally 😉😘

[@elphick.event.ponies]

Hahah can't all be as quick as you!

Haha, right! ❤ everyday checking to see if it was out. ❤😂

[@sasha56777]

Oh my word, I’m in absolute bits at the two of you flying over the last. What a round, what a pony and what a flipping rider!!!!! Big congratulations on such an amazing result, Meg - and for showing us fellow overthinkers time and time again that it IS possible to feel the fear…and still go and smash it anyway🏆🥹

[@tmis111]

Actual tears 🥹 Jam is one in a million! What a special pony. Congratulations to you both - well deserved x

[@sianbennett-rodgers]

You were fab. I hope that’s built some confidence. Jam is an utter legend, it’s so easy to forget she’s only 10. It really can’t be easy when you draw a crowd like that full of expectation. It’s a huge pressure and you handle it brilliantly

[@gabrielleblake3327]

You gave of yourself so freely to all the young riders wanting an autograph ❤! Your encouraging smiles and photos meant so much to each of them ❤! Thank you for growing the ranks of future horse lovers who will be joinimg you in the ring pretty soon ❤ ! Be proud of that most of all ❤ ! Love you Meg ❤ !

[@allisonvandenberg3032]

I LOVED the side-by-sides of the different jumps at the same time - thank you for including that! At 52:32, when Piggy is going over the course walk...is that you and Jam on the wall behind her? I'm so impressed with how you greeted all of your amazing supporters at the end of cross country and really engaged with each of them. So kind and genuine of you - they'll never forget that. Congratulations on a super result!

[@qvmarlins3506]

I saw that picture of Meg and Jam behind Piggy also!

[@eleni.alexopoulos]

Congratulations Meg!! You did the most fantastic job with Jam and deserve all of the praise and rewards you get. Once again an amazing video to watch and experience such an incredible event with you. You are truly an inspiration, you're one of my idols! You have the most incredible team that we all love. You and Jam are such an outstanding duo, would love to meet you one day. It's a dream of mine to come watch Badminton, hopefully it happens! The month of the May is the best! (I also teared up at the last fence)

[@dreamster8264]

Jam is such an amazing little horse, you can see she really loves what she does. And you absolutely smashed it Meg! You worked so hard to get where you are and it was thrilling to watch you nail those fences after seeing how hard you trained. You might not see it yet but I think the two of you together really are a force to be reckoned with! Can't remember where the quote comes from but you remind me of it - "Without fear, there cannot be courage."

[@helenbianchi2831]

You are so gracious with your little fans - a great role model for aspiring riders. Well done for all of it.

[@mxti_27]

I cried so much watching this🥲I am so beyond proud of how far you and all your ponies have come in this past year, you've helped me through my confidence issues for 4 years now and I cannot thank you enough for all of this xx Love you Meg❤❤‍🩹

[@DeborahHamilton-q1w]

Meg, I didn't realize how small Jam is until I saw her lined up with the other winning horses. She made those cross country fences look soooo easy! Well ridden by you, too, of course. You make a great team!

[@littleninja0]

You did so well Meg it's so very much deserved. The fact that you've been beside the house on most of your visits to Badminton is a testament to all the hard work and dedication you've put into your lovely ponies (and definitely makes the notion of Jam did ALL the work not so true - your inspiring riding and training of all your animals paid no small part to that!). Thank you for bringing us along on the Badders journey with you. It is truly a joy and an honour to witness all that you achieve and share with your fans/followers/friends and whoever else doesn't fit into any of those categories lol. xx

[@caitiehouston]

I cry every year at these bloody videos! It’s just so nice to see how much it means to you and all your team. Massive congratulations to you and Jam🎉❤

[@nora.turner2573]

Honestly crying from this. Never felt so proud of someone i haven’t even met! Such a difficult course and Meg did it with such ease. Have never seen her ride so beautifully as she did in this video! So so amazing 🩷

[@oldageisdumb]

Well done!! I love how Rich went from affectionately teasing you about your channel to being there with you helping with Jam.

I’ve just recently found your channel and started following you Meg, congratulations on this awesome achievement at Badders! I’m enjoying massive binges of your videos. I have terminal metastatic breast cancer and have been fighting for 8 years now. I used to ride but due to tumours throughout my spine, I can no longer do so, so instead, I live my horse love through channels like yours. Thank you for your bravery in sharing your journey Meg, I’m absolutely loving experiencing those moments with you and bringing back beautiful memories of my riding time. 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@elphick.event.ponies]

I’m so sorry to hear about your cancer, sending you so much love. Thank you for still being such a positive light on this channel ❤️❤️

[@jenniferlehman326]

I am so PROUD of you, Meg!! You conquered a few femons when you did that BE 100 Course at Badders this year. And to see you in front of the house again, with Jam, made me smile from ear to ear!! And you deserved those few tears at the end, when you were in Hobbit's arms at the end of Cross Country!! You could see how proud Hobbit was of you. And how proud Simey, Emma, Hannah, Tina, and all of them were for you!! And people were right. You and Jam are a team. You guide Jam to the fence. You are the one who makes the decision on the line, and Jam says, Okay, Mum!! I'll jump that for you!! YOU are the one who makes it happen for Jam to help you out, if you goof up a stride. But, you are a GREAT RIDER, who had list her confidence after a bad fall. And it's taken a long time for you to find it again. And you have!! You'll always have the nerves, Meg. Always!!! But you've shown yourself that they can be conquered!! You are a conqueuring warrioe woman who just conquered Badders BE100 2024!! Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦

So, so pleased for you both! What a team, and what a result after a solid year of tough work, mentally and physically. Your support team was amazing, and it was great to see you really believing in yourself and Jam- you definitely attacked several of those fences fearlessly!

You two were on fire. Jam is so clever & does her best for you. You're really putting Connemaras on the map, if they aren't already there.
