EXERCISES FOR YOUNG HORSES ~ Vlogmas #4

[@letsnotgohome1314]

sorry some negative comments had you losing motivation. Just look after yourself and find ways to not let it get to you BEFORE you feel burnt out and bitter. Its really hard to come back from burn out. Much easier to find ways before you've had enough and lost your passion for your little business. All the best Meg!

[@elphick.event.ponies]

Awh thank you very much for the lovely comment!! I appreciate all of you who take the time to comment on these videos and spread some positivity! Thank you all!!

[@randomstranger6577]

Would love to see a full video of how you get your horses working long and low, my cob just sticks his head up and runs around looking pleased with himself!

[@kippen64]

Could you please do a full vlog about working youngsters long and low with added tips on working with a horse with a naturally high head carriage? I keep buying horses like that and then have to encourage them to work long and low. Any help would be appreciated.

[@tequine4138]

Would also love a vlog of long and low! ❤️

[@Ihavennamcom]

Standardbred Adventures great idea 💡

[@alanahudson2685]

Please please do this!

[@cloudykate3589]

i love how over exaggerated bear is. honestly my favourite pon 🤭

[@rosie-pj4dp]

Great exercise ideas! Also the round of applause for getting to day four 👏👏👏👏 anyways love your ponies and you are so inspirational and such a good rider 💙💜 Love the videos, vlogmas is amazing as we get a whole new video every day ♥️💛💚💙💜

[@fleetskipper1810]

On Jam, You mentioned developing the longissimus muscle in the neck. You were so right. I would love to see more vlogs on this because it applies to any kind of riding

[@becca6030]

I love the intro of bear hahah! she's soooo like my mare in so many ways! Just keeps you on your toes and makes things dramatic for fun. So funny! x

[@alexandramaurin7494]

No need to put up a proper course nor jump for Bear just put a stick on the ground and you are all set ! 😂😂😂

[@elphick.event.ponies]

Alexandra Maurin literally 😂

[@fleetskipper1810]

Bear: (imitating Monty Python): “Don’t bother me with these basics. Get on with it!”

[@picture_perfect_pony1395]

Jaffa’s ears are everything ❤️

[@nixequestrian3721]

Firstly, big round of applause for getting out four days of vlogmas out in a row! Secondly, love your baby pole work & stretches. Thirdly, Bear is too cute lol.

[@Frankie2Minki]

Really like seeing different exercises to try with my horse

[@josephinem4484]

Jaffa is sooo cute and bear and the rest of the horses of course

[@janeminwell4395]

Bear is such a Pocket-Rocket! Really interesting training session Meg, and do think showing more long and low is a good idea. Soft hands, happy pony!!

[@jumpingbryan7488]

I LOOOVED this vlog!! All 3 look amazing and this has been so helpful! I find is so difficult to think of different exercises to do with my 4yo as I’ve never had a youngster before so watching this vlog has taught me a lot and I can’t wait to try these exercises out with him at the weekend!👌🏼👌🏼would love more vlogs like this xx

[@raythegoth]

Jaffa is such an awesome dude, such a trier! Loving all these traditional exercises, these are all exercises I was taught to use with my mare when she was a youngster and I was green as grass too lol taught us both to be more aware of ourselves. Ugh that matchy level with Jam and that hat silk though #onpoint! Omg Bear had me in hysterics xD

[@user-pm9fd3wj9x]

I loved this vlog so much!! I really liked how informative and educational it was!! Would love more videos like this 💖💖💖

[@tequine4138]

Can’t wait to watch this! Going to be so helpful and useful! ❤️

[@nicoleross4160]

This was delightful in every way! Love watching you work on these types of exercises at home -- great way to get ideas for pole work of our own. Thanks for all the hard work this vlogmas especially!

[@andystpierre6086]

🥳🥳🥳 good job on 4 in 4!!! Keep up your good work, your vlogmas are super fun to watch!

[@Elessarion30]

Meg: The poles are not a jump! Bear: I just jumped them therefore they are now a jump.

[@Toni-uk5bh]

Love bear jumping the trotting poles ❤❤❤

[@big_simpo4261]

Ive never seen so many pretty horses :3

[@az_natalie]

4 days in a row! I love vlogmas :) I love how Bear thinks he has to jump EVERYTHING lol. so funny.

[@susannanimmo6692]

Oh I needed this, thank you so much Meg for your great content!! xxx

[@GoatTheEventHorse]

Loved this - I am definitely trying the pole square with Goat in our next schooling session! I also very rarely school for longer the 20-30min sessions, I find short and sweet much more productive!! xx

[@manthe40]

Would love more vlogs like this. I have old horses and these exercises would also be good for them. Thanks

[@metrothyme]

I was afraid I was losing my new 5 yr old to a sea of boring repetition. Putting poles down got her interested and what a fun ride. Thank you Meg!

[@sandraback7809]

So enjoyed this! Bear was feeling festive, wahooo!

[@libby_the_tb9601]

Could you do a video with a horse that is very fast at jumping and slowing them down, having trouble holding mine back. Also how to teach your horse a nice collected canter without them breaking back into a trot x

[@gillwhiteman7248]

Love watching your videos. So pleased to see your approach and the way you bring on your ponies. I haven’t owned a horse for over 20 years, but had a 14.3 chestnut mare. The way you go about things is how I was coached by my instructor, who also schooled my mare before I bought her. Keep doing what you do - it’s all good.

[@Ella-ok3lh]

I love watching your vlogs! It's like watching a friend :). I know how much effort you're putting into these and I really appreciate it! xxx

[@donnajeffery3136]

And they say with age comes brains and sensibility they obviously haven’t met bear but if she didn’t have a quirky character it would be boring you can’t say she isn’t fun

[@beachbumetta]

Bear was so adorably cute and gave me a needed giggle tonight. ❤️❤️❤️ All your ponies are beauties!

[@equinemolly9898]

OMG first comment love u soooo much Megan xxx love the vlog also where can I get a teams shires coat ???????💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🐴🐴🐴🐴

[@meganmcintire4651]

Thanks for this video Meg! Needed this to change up workouts for my boy. The poles really do make them think more...especially Bear! Jam is turning into such a superstar. One to watch out for! Happy Holidays to you and Hobbit!

[@mollielauer3376]

I love the content and I think that would be a great idea Megan I love learning about horses stretching there necks and I love watching it!❤

[@Brunettecountrygirlx]

Can you please do a vlog on schooling for youngers as mine gets bored in the school so need to introduce so interesting stuff! and can you do a schooling vlog please🙂

[@flashbacksj]

Loved this video Thankyou Megan! Would love a vlog in long and low and how to ask for it... I have a young mare who’s default is tension tension tension so helping her work long and low is real goal of mine! X

[@tjm00000]

great exercises, and as you asked, yes, I would definitely like a vlog on long and low, it´s so beneficial for their topline etc

[@dancing.with.adagio]

absolutely love all these exercise ideas to try with my green pony!

[@KarolineKristoffersen1996]

Loved this video Meg! Thanks for sharing! 🥰 I have a 3 yo who will love this once he gets introduced to poles next year!

[@veerledg]

Love the voice over! Thank you for this!

[@juddjohnson-smith886]

Love how over exaggerated bear is 😂 also love the hat silk it looks stunning on you

[@Teighanchrystal]

This is so helpful thank you xxx ps your such an inspiration to me xxx

[@rhythmandblues_alibi]

Omg Bear doing trot poles reminds me of my old OTTB, to him it was just an invitation to jump! Poles are sooo boring right?! He just loved to jump 🥰 sadly had him put down a couple of years back but it's so nice to remember him by seeing his antics in other horses 💗

[@AlexisWolfer13]

This was so educational, thank you! Would LOVE more videos like this.

[@miwakiwi]

I absolutely loved the voice-over explanations and tips! Thank you!

[@sturdygirl7772]

All your young ones are so cute! Good job 👏 for 4 in a row 😊 and your voice wasn’t wobbly at all in the voice over. Nice work, all the way around 😊😄

[@cnkequestrian5789]

These look like such great exercises! I don't have a young horse, but I'm gonna try it with my senior girl :)

[@Harryflanaghan]

Would totally love a vlog on long and low!! Please do one 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@xHeatherxSapphyx]

Would love a vlog on working long and low, getting caught up on vlogmas and loving it far!😁

[@kellyhudson7478]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 day four. Well done.

[@tracksarebest]

Jaffa is the cutest ❤️❤️

[@ellinlouisemillersnoxell7170]

Love the gutter tip... surely they would break if trodden on through? And what type are they 😊

[@mollyellashowjumping3836]

I really want those gutters as poles but scared they will shatter with big horses with shoes on? Are they really durable as i've got one very clumsy horse! Great vid x

[@elphick.event.ponies]

Molly Cook they’ve been great for me, Lara is very heavy and clumsy and she has trodden on them lots of times 😂😂

[@mollyellashowjumping3836]

That tinsel is great bomb proofing 😂

[@ah54629]

Hi, I was wondering if you had any tips for teaching young horses not to fall through your leg? I am currently training a young horse and we are trying to work through this issue. Love you work by the way!

[@mollielauer3376]

I want to buy him so bad!😭😭😭😭

[@robinwaterman9163]

Bear wants it to be an oxer so bad

[@Ihavennamcom]

👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@poppynewell9849]

Love u❤️❤️😍

[@picture_perfect_pony1395]

Do you guys know anything I can do about my horse being head shy. I have just got her and we think she has been hit in the face a few times because she is very very head shy. Any ideas on how to help this?

[@user8241]

It may just be a trust thing. Work with her and don't get mad. Do things gradually and understand her limits

[@lilyhinch7676]

yesss I have been waiting ;) x

[@alicecook6908]

I’d love a vlog on tips to get your horses long and low. Mines extremely upright (like blobthecob’s Nero) and everything I’ve tried so far doesn’t seem to work for us! x

[@ffionwynjones1153]

Long and low blog and explanation would be great!

[@taylorbrowneventing2044]

Bear says "mum I'm a natural born jumper theres no need to use poles for ground work" 🤣 silly pony

[@esmeeventing7295]

yayyyy

Surely I'm not the only one who finds Instagram, Twitter and Facebook toxic and therefor doesn't use them.

[@randomstranger6577]

Good for you, I think you'll find KZbin can be just as toxic!
