EVENTING STAY AWAY - Badminton Qualifier 👀

[@isobelfinnegan8486]

Simon saying hi Meg over the hedge is so iconic 😂

[@HollyJordan15]

I know right! Like a walk in the park & saying “Hi” to a friend 🤣 Love it.

[@kendalg5970]

I was about to comment this 😂😂😂😂

[@annav3722]

was about to comment the same, absolute legend 😂

[@aidanham]

I was looking for this comment, that was gold!

[@greenecrayon]

The casualness of it was just so epic.

[@agentk62]

I can’t lie- I think Pete’s been such an incredible addition to your team, I’m absolutely obsessed with the footage he gets, it makes the vlogs feel so professional and lovely to watch!

[@jumping_for_joy]

And Meg is so happy around him and it’s just lovely to see her so happy ❤

[@HollyJordan15]

I know right! Has he got a brother 🤣

[@elphick.event.ponies]

He’s the best isn’t he ♥️

[@jumping_for_joy]

@@elphick.event.ponies yes he is (you are such an inspiration to me since I have recently had a confidence knock and you helped me get through it) thank you 😊

[@christinedavies336]

@@HollyJordan15 Yes he does - one older brother.

[@thisesmesbigfan5845]

This video made me laugh so many times. 1. Simon Grieve causally jumping a massive fence "Hi Meg" 2.Meg - "Peter's having a tinkle 3. Pete "Yay more walking" 4. Pete's tent measuring

Hi FEI!

[@NoxAndTheHorses]

I absolutely love Simon casually saying hi Meg as he jumps an intermediate

[@DK-pl8xd]

Thanks for not disclosing about your 1st place win in your title and thumbnail. It’s been so much fun, over the years, watching you go through your highs and lows as you improve both in your riding and production skills. Congratulations, Meg, Jam and the Elphick team! Awesome win! You managed not to cry. I can’t say the same for myself. 😂

[@anniecampbell8554]

Really noticed the very positive impact Emily had on your mindset walking the course and just being there and empathizing with your reality bc she does it herself. Your joy at the end (and obviously coming 1st) was so palpable- and so well deserved. Hold on to it!! And keep challenging yourself bc you are up to it - positive mindset!!

[@idalamminen5915]

Honestly, Emilys training for you was terrific! You looked so confident in all 3 disciplines and she seemed to give you so much confidence!! Hope you keep her as a trainer ❤

[@greenecrayon]

I really like Emily's ease of discussing the fences and how disarming she is in regards to them.

[@pfplays16]

[@egeegee7146]

That Connie is just a little pocket rocket. Fabulous win and have to say I’m with Emily. No no just crack on. Don’t alter anything just push on. She’s my sort of xc tutor. Congrats.

[@shellywelsh2316]

Wow, the course walk with Emily was excellent!!! I learned a lot.

[@helenafuttrup7743]

I looooved Emilys help! So positive and chill, I feel like it's just what everyone who knows the nerves needs haha! Petes footage makes such a nice dimension to the vlogs. Congrats on the qualification as well 🎉🎉

[@spanglelime]

Walking this course with Emily seemed to make such a difference for you, Meg. She was giving ME confidence watching this. She's great. I hope we see Emily!

[@the_willoww]

got so happy when I seen this vlog was over an hour long. Must have been a lot of work and effort to edit thank you Meg! Haven’t watched yet but fingers crossed you’re happy Edit: you and jammy done absolutely fantastic Meg!! I found myself in awe of your riding multiple times throughout this video, your hardwork is paying off. Your jumping round looked so powerful and fast, dressage jammy looked much more relaxed and cross country I mean come ON you got some absolutely cracking forward strides to those jumps. So chuffed for you both!

[@sammyquinn]

CONGRATS on your FIRST PLACE finish!!! Big virtual hugs to Jamster; she was EPIC! ON TO BADDERS!!!! I agree with everyone here on the vlog - Emily needs to become part of Team Elphick. LOVE her no-nonsense approach to jumping/eventing. Very refreshing! (A small note to Pete - let Lucy sleep as much as she wants! I had the same surgery (albeit years ago). I was *exhausted* most days. Didn't get my stamina back for *months* after the procedure and I didn't have the complication of having a post-op infection! Just throwing' it out there.)

[@belzyc]

That haynet hitting the floor at 3:34 completely took me off guard 😂 😂Loved Emily's coaching, great job

[@emmabowland2805]

You know they are a pro when they say hi actively jumping a fence

[@pennyharvey3954]

Congrats on the win, well deserved. I too think that Pete's footage is very professionally done and it adds a lot to the vlog. Give Jam a hug for me. ❤❤

[@kristin1980uk]

You rode all three phases so confidently, honest the cross country was awesome, you really have been working on your confidence and it really does show. Absolutely fantastic ❤

[@kelizz0092]

I am so proud of you Meg!! You are a awesome rider and you have a awesome group of horses. Believe in your skills and your horses. You got this girl!!! From USA, Pennsylvania. ✊🏻🏆

[@isabellemaycock8827]

Meg, honestly your vlogs never fail to brighten my day. You are such an incredible rider and an inspiration to so many. I think sometimes the fun of the sport is lost in the fear of failing but you have helped me and so many other people help to remember that we do truly love it and it really can be good fun. You truly are amazing Meg . ❤❤

[@VRio299]

I feel like Emily’s course walk was so refreshing. Nothing complicated, just a simple kick on and ride positive or take a pull and relax. We all know when faced with a fence it can all be a bit much and the simplicity of the advice she gave really showed in your XC round 🎉

[@kristinvinje8608]

Amazing job Meg! 👏 That was probably the best Cross Country round I’ve ever seen. I’m so glad you’ve got your confidence back You always keep us coming back for more. Watching your vlogs is my favorite part of the day, they’re funny, creative, a great learning device and the sweetest things. My favorites are Badminton 😅 BADMINTON 2024 HERE WE COME! Again, congratulations Meg and Jam! ❤🐎

[@alisonhammond4662]

CONGRATULATIONS!! Having Emily's voice *in your head* was great..keep it in there..*just crack on Meg* ..so so happy for you 🥰🥰🥰

[@abigail_dr]

I have to say her form in the dressage test is some of the best I’ve seen from her, so much more relaxed and flowing into the contact

[@shennayegibbs1959]

I’m so proud of you Meg! You’ve come a long way and it’s such an amazing accomplishment 🤍

[@NoxAndTheHorses]

Well done Meg! (And Jam) It’s great to see how far you’ve come and to see you pushing for your strides instead of pulling!

[@trishgilbert6342]

Belle really seemed to enjoy the work. Totally focused on the task and not distracted by her baby's antics. Great video!

[@MissJools11]

Who's Belle?

[@margaretmetcalfe9380]

Well done, I think the advice Em gave you was excellent and did help you. I think your mum is brilliant her voice overs are just so good.

[@ponyparty28]

Simon...the legend - just casually saying "Hi Meg" as he sails over an intermediate...Totally would have made my day even more if he'd done his signature "Weee" too 🤣🤣🥰

[@Whizzywelsh_Eventing]

What a fab little horse you have produced. You should be so proud, lol at Simon’s causal Hi Meg over that huge hedge x

[@aidanham]

Pausing after the dressage right now to say: Goosebumps! I watch a Jam test like this one with much more enjoyment than watching those bred to move fancy. Jam might not be the type prefered by judges in looks, but forget that! Just look at her move. The effort she puts in to tackle the movements with correctness. To me that's true equitation. Well done! Edit: Oh my goodness, all the smiles after the xc!! 🎉Fantastic job! Congratulations!

[@Squimbelina]

I said the same to a friend - Jam might not be dressage bred but she and Meg make a beautiful harmonious picture and they are often very correct. Jam steps under beautifully from behind, and when Meg has her working well she’s got lovely head carriage, not overbent like so many these days but nice and working uphill despite the fact that she’s built a bit downhill. And no signs of tension - no tail swishing, no unhappy mouth, just a responsive listening horse. She deserved that win. It might not be Grand Prix, but it was a pleasure to watch.

[@roseytheequestrian]

This is literally the only reason I’m doing my homework so I can watch this when I’m done!! You looked so amazing out there meg! Great job!

[@LisaPanton]

So happy Pete has dropped the intro with music - I'm so over having to listen through these every time you watch a vlog 🙌. The quality flow and content of this vlog are so good and professional!!!

[@Jess.270.]

Meg you are such an inspiration to so many ! I can’t wait to watch the vlog , but from IG I know you are very proud and happy with you and Jam Bam but I can’t wait to watch you do it x x x

[@thinkingriding]

Well done, that was brilliantly ridden and a well deserved win. Congratulations! And great filming by Pete!

[@Squimbelina]

Yay Meg - congrats on the win! So glad you decided to do the 100 at Chillington as hasn’t Jam also won a 100 this year 👀. You are both doing amazingly. Jam is really coming into her job, isn’t she?

[@jenniferlehman326]

Congratulations on your 1st place finish!!! Way to go, Meg!! You did it!! So chuffed for you!! Can't wait for Badders 2024!!!! Love from your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦

[@dianehookham]

Omg yessssss! I love you and Jam together, AWESOME TEAM! Congratulations 🎉 Emily was a awesome help with Pete, tell your mum I hope she's feeling better soon.

[@joseroquette917]

Amazing show jumping round Meg and Jam 😊😊 and an amazing cross country round as well.

[@christinedavies336]

❤️ Way to go Megan, Jam and team Elphick! Loved Simon saying hi to you as he jumped a massive hedge! 👋 🤣 Great vlog. 🤗

[@annejarvis7002]

SPECTACULAR 🎉 🎉 you may not have cried Meg, but I did. Jam is a powerhouse. In spite of so many distractions in the dressage, bless her she was awesome. You rode all 3 elements of the whole show brilliantly. I especially noticed how well you set Jam up for the doubles in the showjumping👏👏. You looked like you were having a blast cross-country 🤗. Well done Meg🎉. Much love to you & your fabulous Support Team (Hobbit you are inspirational- hope you fully recovered ❤), Pete, what a wonderful partner you are. Emily was exactly who you needed with you too (I have subscribed😊) - a breath of fresh air, so knowledgeable & encouraging. Congratulations Meg & a shout out to all who have guided you & to your outstanding JamBam❤ - Meg, YOU DID IT🎉🎉 ❤

[@Roxy-cs6xo]

Absolutely love you and your content. I've been watching your journey ever since your yt journey started (I didn't have an account at the time so wasn't a subscriber hence why I'm commenting now ) and you have just helped me so much when it comes to facing my fears. Your my idol and I really do appreciate the things you've helped me with. Love you 💓💓

So, so proud of You Meg and Jam ❤ She really is a super star and l9ves what she does. Emily was a great help for you and she comes across so relaxed and loved listening to her 😊 So funny hearing Simon say "hi" 😂 He really is a gent. Loved seeing Justine in your vlog. She really is a great instructor and has worked amazingly with Lucy and Ember 😊 Shout out to your lovely mum who is amazing and I hope she is feeling better? Loving the new style of your clogs and Pete is such a sweetie and a keeper ❤

[@debbiewhite8981]

Great job meg and Jam.great to see your mum and Pete with you they are a great addition to your team

When Emily is washing jams neck toward the end with the green mouth in slow mo- should of put the song ‘Sail- awolnation’ 😂 massive well done. ❤

[@patriciaemms1902]

Wow Meg you absolutely smashed it, you both looked so much prepared in each phase and executed it all brilliantly, nowt as gud as Yorkshire to get the best out of you, super,you can achieve anything when you perform like that 🎉❤😂xxxxxxx

[@xaviorshideout]

The lady you walked around with (sorry already forgot her name 😭) is really giving you great pointers, reassuring and giving you good confidence! She’s a queen, can we keep her? 😂❤ *edit - it’s Emily!

[@annjohnson8437]

Awesome video!!! I always learn a thing or two from your videos and I am now following Emily too. I think I can learn a great deal from her videos as well! Congrats on a wonderful showing! ❤

[@esthers.9185]

Congrats on the big win! Can't wait to see the Badders vlog later on, I'm really happy for you and Jam! You two have got this in the bag. You never know, maybe Jam AND Winnie will qualify for Badders 2025 together. 😄

[@MissJools11]

Winnie isn't eventing as she's too young. Meg hasn't even competed her yet, she hasn't been broken in very long. How can she qualify for Badminton when she hasn't even done a single event? Winnie is at the very beginning of her ridden career, too young for Badminton!!!

[@esthers.9185]

I know and understand that. That's why I didn't say Badminton 2024, which is what Jam just qualified for. But Meg mentioned beginning eventing with Winnie next year, and Winnie may be up for a smaller level than Jam and might qualify for Badminton for the 2025 competition. I also don't appreciate the tone of your comment, I am not so ignorant to think that Winnie is currently eventing or even ready for it. I was merely saying a wishful and hopeful comment because it would be a pleasant surprise if one day Jam and Winnie go to Badminton together. Please don't talk down to others as though their own opinions and perspectives don't have merit. It is not kind. Have a good day. @@MissJools11 ❤

[@MissJools11]

@@esthers.9185 Winnie will NOT be at Badminton 2025 either, as she'll be too young, You don't rush young Horses/Ponies!!

[@esthers.9185]

yeah, you need a chill pill. You have no control over what Meg does with her horses any more than I do. I was merely making a wishful and pleasant statement as an observer. You need to stop taking the time to boss other people around on the internet just because you think you know better. Just enjoy your own life and don't put a damper on other people's lives. ❤@@MissJools11

So so happy for you all, fabulous horsewoman.xxxx

[@GemmaSalvestro]

It makes me laugh a little that you get stables at all your events! In South Australia we have outside yards for everything, we did an event recently where it never stopped being torrential rain, and i felt awful for the horses. Wish we had stables! Also the fact Simon can jump those enormous jumps, and still see youre there and say Hi so calmly, how Simon.

[@bettybakebake]

I live in the high desert of Colorado USA and I have never jumped. though going up and down mtns can make it feel like you are jumping over 3 foot logs you arent really. but you are so courageous. the only thing I had to be afraid of was cactus and prairie dog holes but horses and mules are amazing in their ability to put their feet right. but jumping!!!!???!! ooo just makes me shiver.
