HUGE TACK HAUL ~And cleaning session

Hello all, welcome back to another video... sadly it's not an eventing one :(
I hope you enjoy seeing all of the tack I use on the ponies, as always I'm sure I will have missed something out but let me know down in the comments if there is anything else you would like to see.

This new microphone is really making your voice sound So smooth and dulcet 😂😂😂

[@connawilliams908]

Your "unbranded" dressage saddle is a Barry Swain :)

If you hate the sound of my voice just put it into the comments Me- No I love it

literally everyone i know says Meg has a calming voice ( :

[@maisiejensseneventing4297]

The one dislike is hobbit being sad she’s not the main person in the video 😂

[@janeminwell4395]

Absolutely agree Megan about snaffles and flash nosebands. Tying the horses mouth shut gives it no chance of relieving the pressure from bad hands.

[@Squimbelina]

There's trend at the moment for frighteningly tight flashes too - actually visibly digging into the nose. Which according to studies is as painful as a tornequet - and it's not being stopped in tack checks in competitions. It's unacceptable.

[@salzaniclegend4129]

Would be great to also see a review of current and past ponies/horses including their breeds/crosses, heights, ages, genders, disciplines, wins.

[@dtulip1]

I used to love tack cleaning, particularly on days when it was hot n sunny ie too hot to ride...less keen on the cold wet winter days tack cleaning but still love the smell of saddle soap

[@amixoxo5986]

Two tack hauls in one day one from this esme and one from you yayyyy ❤️

[@oioi1034]

Ye it’s great 😂

[@shermanian392]

yes! went from esme to this 😂

[@gracewebb6467]

I absolutely love you and your videos. When I have a flair in my chronic illness it is always inspiring to watch you

[@louiseshowjumping8280]

I didn’t expect this to be satisfying but it actually really is 🙈 anyone else agree 😍

[@conniesoutar8500]

The audio is great! 🤣. And the brightness warning, lmao 💀🤍

[@cnkequestrian5789]

Loved hearing all about your tack! I 100% agree with you about the bits. The goal should be to use the softest bit you can!

[@fleetskipper1810]

When you dragged all that tack out onto the lawn, I thought, she’s going to be there all night! Glad you got it all done. It is nice to have every single piece of tack you own be clean at the same time.

[@nixequestrian3721]

Meg: Let me know if you find this content boring. Everyone: Watching tack cleaning is so fun & satisfying! Seriously, I love (like Looooove) watching tack cleaning, spring cleaning & organizing tack rooms, stables or anything horse related, it's great for getting ideas we can use ourselves, but mostly because we are not the person doing the cleaning, so thank you for this vlog! ;) Feel free to post spring pony makeovers, one can never see enough pony cleaning & trimming vlogs (esp when we aren't the ones doing them :p ) Also seeing what others use & the reasoning behind the use of their tack is really interesting- as an aside, I wholehearted agree with you about cavessons & bits. I wish there was more decent quality, affordable brands that offered a plain cavesson as an option- most are either hanoverian/flash noses or cranks (esp with dressage bridles), at least in my country anyway. I really like your shires comfort bridle, will have to see if we can get them here after lockdown ends, as I much prefer mono crown, comfort bridles too & would rather not invest the best part of $600 in a single, higher quality bridle for competition if I don't have to!

The audio is a great touch. Love the tack cleaning. It is necessary for everyone.

[@11millie111]

So relaxing! This makes the ‘mundane’ tasks seem so exciting when you cant do them 😂

[@PoPo-xo6hu]

Absolutely love the video, I love how simple you keep your tack! I completely agree with everything you said in this ( : Your tack is gorgeous! I can't be the only one who thinks you should get a gopro so we can see what riding your ponies is like from your point of view.

[@lifeonthewrongrein5080]

Me too

[@ellenequii8607]

I absolutely love watching your videos! They are so entertaining and you are so sweet and funny. I hope you and Hobbit and of course the horses are doing well in this hard time. X

[@elenapenneyeventing9399]

I loved this video but I would love to see in more depth a “bit collection” video? Of all the bits you use (xc, sj, dressage) and why xx

[@jay-ts8ux]

Elena Penney Eventing yes!

[@annabellesavage9485]

Great video nice seeing how well you care for your horses and you have such nice tack 🥺❤️

[@gsouthgate258]

as a complete bit nerd, this is a dream to me haha

[@roisinc8299]

Before I got my first horse, I was the exact same trust me.

[@orlaith7031]

Omg same

[@karenb.9281]

Loved this thanks.. They are fun to watch and interesting to see what other people like to use and have 💕😊

[@laurenstafford1554]

Loved this video!! The microphone audio was really good but also without was just as good! Totally agree with you on the bits and nose bands!! Your saddles are all so gorgeous 😍🙈

[@x.chloeequestrian.x4683]

This was so interesting to watch! I love how to try and keep the horses in the least tack possible and make sure they are very comfy! Love your videos btw xx

[@charsparks3513]

Buzzing to hear you have a Kent and masters in there somewhere! I have a wonderful little native who was horrendous to fit a saddle too, and the only thing that fits her is a little Kent and Masters S Series jump saddle. I love it!! (and she's so happy, it means I don't get decked anymore!) 😂🤔

[@dorothybennett6596]

Loved it. The sound was great. Thank you for doing this. Xx

[@freyacook6011]

The only video I enjoyed watching today 😍 love Megan’s videos 😂

[@coraliesentch4515]

This was awesome Meg !! It’s really interesting seeing your saddle, bridle and bit preferences and why. (PS Your voice is absolutely fine with the mic, just the same as without 👌🏻😊) 🥰😘❤️

[@ozziesfroggy]

When I saw you were uploading this I was so excitedddd! I absolutely love your videos 💕

[@the_life_of_chief6940]

Loved it Meg ❤️ So interesting to see different saddles and who wears what !!

[@buckinggoodride882]

It takes me well over a hour just to clean 3 saddles and bridles, I can’t imagine how long that took you! So satisfying though!

[@shanjanusman9974]

Loving these videos during UK lockdown measures. Cannot wait for the day when my RDA training resumes and the stables are reopened.

[@donnastill5417]

Loved it! ‘I need sunglasses.....’ 🤣🤣🤣🙌🏻

Amazing video as always meg loved it 🥰🙌🏻

[@niamhconway2886]

I’m so nosy 😂😂. I love watching videos about saddles and tack 🤣🤣

[@JenniferJCouch]

Lovely 'children'! I did indeed notice the color sequence. Like your thinking on the bridles &:especially bits. Well done!

[@angelastoner3658]

Just Love this video,i used to have to Arabs,and the smell of their tack,oh such happy memories youve brought back to me 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@tooscaredtoshowjump]

Found this so so helpful, been looking for good quality mono-flap jump saddles for the longest time, and I really appreciate your honest reviews! Love your videos :) xx

[@alicelynch1356]

do u know the name of the one she uses on bear? I can't seem to find it. anywhere bc i think Im spelling it wrong!! Thanks

[@tooscaredtoshowjump]

@@alicelynch1356 hi I think it's an equipe (the logo is a red handprint) hope that helps xx

[@gem1718]

Loved my Black Country saddle which was exactly like yours. It was the 8th saddle I tried on my low withered, round new forest pony and I never needed to adjust it for the next four years. I found it super comfy but the lack of knee rolls was an issue when jumping, especially as I’m 5’10 with super long legs and my pony was 13.2hh 🤣

[@jelenawalker6324]

I love waking up and see that you have put out another video. Ps I am from Australia. Love you and all your ponies 💕

[@megforshaw9150]

Yessss I love these types of videos!!!!

[@amyxx3699]

Love the video, so excited to see sally and Dorah competing in the future🤩

[@letitia-jaynewilliams5827]

I've used fairy liquid on bridles as it helps get grease off more efficiently, was also a tip from a hunt yard I worked at 😂 just have to make sure it's cleaned with clean water afterwards and soaped thoroughly so it doesn't dry out the leather. Also recommend using a leather feed and be generous with it 😁

[@livimoss7814]

I think Hobbit needs a yt channel 😂💖

[@ozbird03]

Interesting as always Meg!!! 😘😘

[@slpshowjumping6040]

I love your channel and all your horses are a absolutely amazing. You have inspired me to make my own KZbin channel x

Ha! Love the color coordinated display!!

Love this video!! Also love the fancy microphone 😉😆

[@tequine4138]

Loved this! 💗

[@bethanwilkinson2626]

Love love love! jolted my memory about kent and masters saddles! Would be lush to see a video about what you take eventing? like what you couldn't live without so we can all stock up on bits and bobs before the new eventing season starts!

[@alicelynch1356]

do u know the name of the one she uses on bear? I can't seem to find it. anywhere bc i think Im spelling it wrong!! Thanks

[@josiebrooks1031]

You have so much tack!!! Saddles and bridles

[@jedsequine1564]

I'm an avid snaffle user, I also more recently also use the Trust Flexi bit on the OTTBs as i find it helps them to accept the contact, i tend to use flash nosebands, but only once the horse is accepting the bit and not trying to open their mouths. Neither noseband ever tight. Always interesting to see someone elses tack

[@rosie-pj4dp]

Yay great video Meg! Slightly worried you would get the bits mixed up hehe 😬😂 love you and Hobbit and your videos are so nice (and hilarious) ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

[@doratheexplorer9698]

Just me that thinks saddles are easier to clean than a bridal ( I think I spelt it right) 😂😂😂🥴

[@charsparks3513]

Bridle ;) close though!!

loved the vid! my pony since young was over bitted but he became smart and wont jump with anything stronger than a hanging cheek bit :) hes such a smart ass

Never clicked so fast in my life! Love u Meg x

Love these kind of videos x

[@romanyturner3974]

That soft soap is amazing to get white bits white on horses if left to soak😂

[@Morganpies]

Thank you for another video Meg :)

[@_abi_equinee_6556]

I love your videos x ❤️❤️

[@gailomahony2101]

Thanks Megan for that. Never realised you had so many saddles. 😂 I could just about manage to deal with two saddles and two bridles. Dont get me started on girths. 🙈 Not easy finding one that fits properly.

[@candyharkenreader4983]

Wonderful video! I also like to keep my horses in a snaffle whenever possible. I'll be looking for a Shires Copper mouth Eggbutt. Hoping I can find one in the States. Thank you for doing this video. I like the microphone. Your voice is nice and clear and we can understand everything you say. My goal is retraining Off Track Thoroughbreds and I like a nice eggbutt bit. Hopefully will be opening my own stable by the end of this year....

[@mai5345]

How did it go?

[@picture_perfect_pony1395]

Yay a new vlog 😀

[@conniehassall8334]

I Totally agree will you about the caverson bridles but the pony I have has to go in a flash bridle

[@charlotte.c2242]

I really loved this video. Would you consider doing a video all about all the bits you have and why you use them - including bits for showjumping and cross country and spare bits and what you would use them for? :)

[@ellenwillxams9837]

10:06 PHAHAHA " welcome to my saddelry" the thing she does with her head ahahhaahhahahh

[@danahern1989]

I always clean my tack by first using a sponge to put SOAPY water onto it, then letting it dry, this is because it gets the grease of using soap. After it’s dry I get the sponge, wet it a tiny bit wipe it in the saddle soap and I’m good to go! P.S I love your voice, and for that matter you and your horses!

[@snowpuff7435]

I love this Video 😍❤

The horse I ride has the same bridle as Sally 😂 it's so prettyyyy

I agree with the snaffles I’m so happy to get to that point with mine now too some time but worth it he’s in a Micklem bridle because he’s been through everything else and didn’t like them 😂

This was so good! I won't lie, I was a bit skeptical about whether or not I would like this video but I loved it! I must say though, I think I preferred the parts where you didn't have the microphone...

Everyone has got to much time 😂

[@samanthalynn673]

Oh my goodness, wish I had that much tack! Wait or do I.... 😂
