COMPARING MY TWO BADMINTON RIDES

Thank you to Star Stable for sponsoring this video, click the link below to download: bit.ly/elphickeventponiesaugust
This video has been eagerly requested since May, and I'm thrilled to finally give it to you now. As many of you are aware, our time at Badders was truly epic, with both Dee and Jam securing top-ten spots among a field of over 100 competitors.
Yet, I've realized we never really compared their rounds or even showcased my whole dressage test. Well, that changes today. In this video, you'll get a side-by-side comparison of their dressage tests, and take a detailed dive into their full cross-country rounds. Make sure to drop a comment below, letting us know which horse you would have chosen to ride.
I hope you all enjoy watching this, and thank you for your continued support!

Meg: decades with horses, not a blemish on her face. Also, Meg: a few months with kittens and shredded!

[@magicaltrails]

Jam always makes me happy in her dressage tests b/c she shows that a downhill built, short-necked girl can BRING IT! This was a great video--thanks for sharing!

[@elphick.event.ponies]

Love this!! I feel the same 👏🏻😂

[@stinevdp]

Rewatching the rounds now makes me even prouder than when you first posted the badminton rounds! I’m so so proud of you, DD and Jambamie

[@greenecrayon]

I cried so much watching you see and greet everyone who was waiting for you at the end.

[@annejarvis7002]

That was so interesting seeing both lovely ladies side by side. Dee is such a pro. Jam is showing impressive confidence, she has progressed a great deal. Most of those jumps were huge & tricky. Jam is so forward now (even with the cute 'bunny hop' over the ditch). You rode brilliantly on both horses. Awesome job Meg. Now onto the next🤗👏👏

[@jdawg7953]

I have the same allergy to cats as you but my allergy to horses are 50 times worse and in all my years here Ive tried every antihistamine going and none work, but I did find a salt tablet called compound H and it allows me an hours ride then I have to have a bath and change my clothes, so Ive never been able to have my own sadly, but I do love to watch you as your life is what I wanted when I was your age, and your a good rider and care for your horses very much, just dont be so hard on your self, we are all our own worst critic, relax and enjoy as your a joy to watch.

[@equestrian_eira879]

Been sitting and wondering why meg havent posted in a while, but sooo happy she is back!🩵loved the video as always!🫶🏻

[@BlueEyes-0222]

I hope Dee is doing well with her pregnancy. I can't wait for the arrival of darling Darley (Dee/Marley)!

[@xzx4166]

Ohh I quite like Darley as a name!

[@Morganpies]

Tears in my eyes, so emotional! So proud of you, you’re incredible ❤

[@Squimbelina]

Love it - made me a bit emotional seeing DD get her round finally! Perfect perfect last event for her, and she was so good! Really hope to see you back next year in the 100 with Jammy.

[@victoriaharper6857]

~chills with 55+ star stable horses~ btw I love u Meg

[@sophieadams9339]

I was at the water for your round with jammie. It was magic! Loved a recap there... bring on 2024 😊

[@Kayla_equestrian]

My horse had a freak accident today and broke my arm in half today 😂 i wont be able to ride for ages so I’m just going to binge all ur videos again ahhahaha

[@blazequestrian]

Oh no! I hope you get better!

[@fleetskipper1810]

Hope the healing process goes well. Broken bones seem to take a long time to heal, but when you look back after tears, it wasn’t that long. Good luck!

[@Siobhan_Shivaun]

I'm crosseyed after trying to watch the dressage tests, on the plus side I did get a very good comparison of the two tests 😂 I remember your vlog from Badders, with Bear, and you and Hobbit both said something about coming back another year with a bigger less spooky pony, and look, you did!! 💖🍾🐎

[@elphick.event.ponies]

Hahah love that you remember this!

[@Siobhan_Shivaun]

@@elphick.event.ponies I made a mental note to keep watching your videos and see if you did go back! I'm waiting for the day you take one of the babies there to emulate their mum!! xx

[@marcogardette5235]

You did so well! Losing confidence is just a normal step in your riding!

[@littleninja0]

It's just as awesome watching those back now as it was when you originally posted the badminton vlogs. Class stuff from both girlies. x

[@janl8683]

Lovely to see the rounds again. Both girls looked amazebobs. You ride so well and I know you have anxieties but hopefully seeing these 2 rounds again will give you the confidence 😊❤

[@flame_1234]

Awww noooooo, Kittens nails are sooo sharp. I love dee and jam i am soo sad i dont own my own horse i really wanna do eventing.

[@tigerlilly6888]

[@AA_Equestrian]

Literally my exact situation-

[@tracymckerchar9037]

So intresting seeing Dee and Jam side by side in dressage. Quite cool to watch also my daughter loves playing with Star Stable!!! Thanks for the link!

[@ameess_]

Star Stable is amazing, played it since I was a child. Every now and then I still jump on to have a little wander around! Love seeing them sponsor you Meg.

[@anniecampbell8554]

This seems like great prep to plan for your Badders showing next time - esp. the realization that you and your ponies did a super job (always with room for improvement as you said)!!

[@clairenightmoon2979]

Winnie is going to be amazing in the dressage! Cant wait to see her event !

[@ihay472]

I love listening to your comments because Dee is obviously your preferred horse while Jam is totally my favorite. Its so funny to hear how different your thoughts.

[@janesmith6213]

That's interesting - I always thought the complete opposite! 🤣

[@kristiwetsel9531]

Love watching these again , you all where amazing ❤

[@jeniferrinehart1107]

Amazing! I think DeeDee gets my vote, but….they are both epic! As are you! ❤❤❤

[@merauble6658]

😂 You can't be late for kitty breakfast!💚💚

[@palominojoy1899]

Really enjoyed this one, was great to see the two girls with your comments. Great rides💗💗

[@kiwgirly2822]

naughty kitties got to love them haha

[@carolthorson7854]

Your lovely cats are just keeping it real. I can really relate to this vlog. Cat scratches, check (cuts all over legs and arms). Star Stable, check (we just had fun outrunning wolves on CC during Western festival). Loving cross country, check (who doesn't).

[@ChloeJoness21]

I can’t wait to watch Meg!! I loved meeting you at badminton!! ❤😆

[@An_equestrian29]

Love the "WOW"

[@HollyJordan15]

Can’t wait to watch this.

[@maggiemoody9781]

You are such an inspiration❤ congratulations!

[@annjohnson8437]

Love the side-by-side comparison! Your ponies are such awesome jumpers! This was really fun to watch. Thank you for posting this! ❤

[@apirateslifeforme4557]

Having these side by side is so cool!

[@jessicahigdon3962]

Great video Meg. Fantastic!

[@margaretmetcalfe9380]

Love both ponies, and not a rider but thought Dee Dee looked better during the dressage, but both looked fab doing the XC.

[@Katherinekirbydressage]

They were both mega round that XC!

[@EquestrianRobyn]

Amazing Meg, Cannot wait for DeeDee’s foal 🤩

[@cm539]

Jam Bam is without a doubt my favourite. Was her cross country round quicker?

[@melaniejaynejones6436]

Loved watching your rounds again on gorgeous Jam and Dee ❤️ They both are a huge credit to you and your mum. They both look super fit. How is Dee with her pregnancy and can you give us an update on Ettie 😊

[@Ecmkayaking]

First I love your videos Meg ur so inspiring ❤❤❤

[@suzannerichards4885]

I just love Dee. Can't wait to see that baby!!

[@vezhopkins714]

He he now you know how I feel (cat owner ) 😉 Loved watching both of these rounds again and I know that jammy was a bit fast in the dressage but I think she just wanted to get to the Xcountry bit she likes 😊🐈🐎

[@SahelStorm_eq]

Omd i saw another comment calling dees foal darley (dee+marley) and i love ITTT 😅

[@colinracing]

Love the video!!!!

[@MaryMansbridge]

I love your vids so much meg

[@johnsheppard50]

We need to see the foals!!!!!!

[@jessewarner7962]

Could you do a video some time explaining the scoring for dressage? Is it better to be higher or lower? And what are the differences for different levels?

[@TylorIsLost]

I was playing SSO when I saw the ad, that's so funny oh my gosh

[@chackey24]

O gosh I just can’t believe how amazing u are 😊

[@Paulusia1111]

You should trim your cats claws. This saved me a lot of damage 😅

[@fionasteele5413]

What type of bridle does jam have for the dressage? I’ve never seen noseband that sits that low (my ignorance, I’m just curious)

[@nbbequestrian345]

I am literally playing Star Stable while watching your video lol

[@TaylorParnell]

THE DOUBLE DUO SUPERSTARS ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@VIPEqTHud]

Love them both, but if you had a day that you don’t you could ride one twice! No one would know . Perfect prank

[@Daisy.Jupe.Horses]

Yay 2nd! X

[@nicolabowley8476]

Gotta be jam bam . She's just ....

[@abigray8585]

Is Dee older than Jammy??

[@fleetskipper1810]

I think she is.

[@margauxnodvin7478]

She is. I remember at the time of the posting of this Badmiton vlog the announcers said Dee was 13 and Jam was 9

[@anthonywright2802]

15 Yr old cat ... 15 year rule, no cats in the bedroom 😅 they cannot be trusted!

[@susantescione8007]

If you are allergic to cats, you probably should get a different pet. Both horses looked great in dressage and you can notice their condition. Congrats with these two horses> How is Dee doing?

[@Squimbelina]

a. it's too late now, she has them (and grew up with them, as far as I know) and b. sometimes you put up with a bit of discomfort for the things you love. I've got a dust allergy, hay is an absolute nightmare for me, but never stopped me having horses.
