i watched the other video and GENUINELYYY saw no issue, that it was just friends mucking about, i didn’t even realise anything until i saw your story and was dumbfounded!!! hope you’re doing okay, it was wonderful to see you happy and confident on ted again❤

[@user-jb5gl4qd1x]

I saw the other video too, but what happened if u don’t mind me asking? ❤

[@TayEquestrian]

@@user-jb5gl4qd1xMeg got a lot of hate on her previous video and she wasn’t ready to read a bunch of hate so she put the video on private ❤

[@nickygentle9246]

Nasty comments saying Meg was rude to Freddie which she wasn't AT ALL ​@user-jb5gl4qd1x

[@Time-and-space11]

​@@user-jb5gl4qd1xThat's what I'm wondering

[@Lurkerlady]

​@@user-jb5gl4qd1x I think people saw them "arguing" and decided to go crazy and get angry about it. I don't know since I wasn't able to catch the whole video, but I didn't see anything wrong with their interactions either....

[@zebraioa]

Hearing you say "Can we go bigger?" makes me so happy as you seem so much more confident that in the past!!

[@lifewithapaint]

It’s so lovely to see you and Bear back to it and I’m so glad you decided to repost this video because you had nothing to remove. You are a wonderful person and your relationship with Freddy is lovely. You go girl 🫶🏻

[@AiSayuki]

People complain that influencers are fake... and when you joke or show parts of a banter like with your first upload, people go crazy and insult you for beeing yourself. Such bullsh... . Meg, thanks for re-uploading, but I hope you are ok and don't feel too down. You did nothing wrong and you two have/had fun and are friends, nothing else matters. You do you girl! ❤

[@jelphick4686]

It feels like everything has to be very 'vanilla' these days 🙂

[@VIPEqTHud]

The other video was class entertainment. People are idiots. What’s the saying “I didn’t offend you…. You took offence, therefore it’s not my problem”. Meg keep being you. You love you horses and have an infectious enthusiasm to life. I look forward to your uploads. They always cheer me up

[@elphick.event.ponies]

😂😂😂

[@annjohnson8437]

I had no issues either. They were clearly joking around, which is one of the reasons we love this channel. I'm surprised the haters don't freak over Rich and Meg's banter, LOL! ❤

[@starjumpermalibou]

@@annjohnson8437cus they’re all scared of rich 🤣🤣🤣

[@LMH.EVENTING]

I loved the other video it was funny the world has gone mad

[@MHuibersPhotographic]

Okay let’s be honest, ofcourse we love all your horsies, but bear jumping is the reason why we started following you 🥰 so lovely to see bear and you back at it and also the smile on your face after the jump, just amazing ❤

[@jenniferquinn5010]

Well done for putting it up and moving on. Best thing possible to do. I also saw the first and was surprised in the reaction you got. So glad you are being a duck and letting the water just flow off your back. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 good for you.

[@TrellyAndRuthie]

I’m so sorry that you got all those horrible comments Meg, I genuinely didn’t see a problem and I feel like people that have been watching you for a while know that these kinds of videos are just for fun love this❤

[@TaylorsVersion61213]

I didn't watch the full video but what happened and why did she remove it?

[@TrellyAndRuthie]

@@TaylorsVersion61213 her & Freddie were being silly and some people in the comments thought Meg was being rude to Freddie & said some horrible things xx

[@MissJools11]

@@TrellyAndRuthie ^thought

[@Zenbridge]

I didn't see many horrible comments. Just people who maybe are unfamiliar with how she and Freddie communicate? It did come off as jarring and rude and I can see why people were a bit startled. It was a different side of what we normally see. I didn't see anyone hating on meg, though. Just wondering why she was being so snotty to her trainer. But if that's how they are, that's just how they are.

[@TrellyAndRuthie]

@@Zenbridge Megan deleted the really horrible ones and she explained on instagram stories that Freddie was not there to teach he was over to see their new house and to have a laugh

[@leyani63]

the stompies before the jumps had me cracking up! 🤣bear is just too cute with those little legs! Don't let the hate knock you down!

[@ChloePrice92]

I think that the takeaway from the first upload is that people can be nasty, jealous little monsters who are looking for any excuse to tear someone down. Glad you've reuploaded, it's a great video.

[@ren-uz2mz]

Saw the first version of this, thought I'd hit a time loop. The first version was a hoot! You are clearly friends who tease each other and have fun!! Remember that word?? FUN. Geesh ...

[@RachaelAtRandom]

So happy to see you and Bear jumping again! I certainly hope the negative-nancys out there don't make you feel uncomfortable being yourself in your videos! One of my favorite things about your channel is how honest and down-to-earth you are 🥰 so happy to see you and Bear back at it again, truly! ❤️

[@elizabethhuffstutler2817]

I honestly 💯 didn't see anything wrong with the first video... But I'm so glad Meg put this back up who doesn't want see Teddy jump?? Well done Meg 💯🎉❤

[@hahaloliwannakms]

what was the 'problem' in the first video??? asking because i couldn't watch it xx

[@mxti_27]

I watched the other video and genuinenly found it very funny, but I'm glad you put the edited version out so I can rewatch it

[@Lurkerlady]

Did she edit out their interactions? I wasn't able to catch the whole video before, is this version hugely different? It blew my mind that people got so nasty about such a ridiculous thing. They're friends, talk as such, people who don't know their dynamic should keep their opinions to themselves.

[@mxti_27]

@@Lurkerlady I think she cut out just a segment of the "argument"

[@c_and_l]

What stood out to me was your own confidence and smile, Meg! You legitimately seemed to be enjoying yourself (though sure there were nerves in there)! Meg four years ago would never have. Which is HUGE! You should be so proud of yourself and how far you've come. Will be very interesting to see what you end up doing with Bear now that you are feeling more secure, and it seems like with all the groundwork and retraining, maybe she is too!

[@Izzybelle145]

I love the control you have in this whole video! You let bear be bear but you also controled her really well when she refused! Love you meg!

[@maisieburns5660]

I'm so glad people finally see this video for what it is! Friends mucking about, personally I do this with my friends all the time. Never saw an issue! Glad to see bear back in work, you rode it so nicely 😍

[@tracymckerchar9037]

I went back and watched her badminton run and she has the best jump. It will be great to see her out when she’s ready. Love the vlog (and the first one too!) Bear has a mega jump!!

[@juliewestlakervn3518]

Brilliant video very funny seeing a group of friends mucking about and a pony having the time of her life ❤

[@stormi285]

you and bear seem to have the best connection, no matter how cheeky she can be you always seem super comfortable on her. She's definitely a once in a lifetime pony x

[@ameliarimmer4198]

Your timing with Bear is spot on. I can imagine as a very pingy pony that is quite tricky

[@poppyshaw-rutter5554]

I watched the jumping Bear version 1 really late at night and I have no idea if I liked or not - I wish I had after everything you said on Instagram in hindsight or at least wished I was sure if I had or hasn't... I saw nothing wrong with a bit of banter between friends - sadly people clearly don't have enough to worry about and chose to attack people like you!!! - keep doing what you do and most importantly what you enjoy doing and posting - if you make it all about that people that are going to hate - you will end up hating it. Don't let them win, keep your head up, love what you do & enjoy these new times with Pete in your new home together - don't let them taint that for you both! Lots and lots of love for you all and ofc the golden girl 💛

[@laurenpelling4079]

So good to see you flying bearlines again 😍😍she’s just the cutest 💜can’t wait to see what adventures you get up to now 😁💜💜

[@maggiecamp7362]

Freddy is a pony whisperer and he so cute. I fan girl whenever you have him on your channel

[@shavili4974]

Bear is simply the best! Her canter and her jumping seems to be effortless and so much fun for her. Love to see you on her. Go on Meg!

[@Time-and-space11]

I really respect the way you dealt with bear in the last video. Obviously Freddies suggestions were good but after having bear so long you obviously know her brain better and Freddy was perfectly understanding of that. All the comments were so unnecessary. You know your pony and Freddy was fine with that from what I saw!

[@sparkle.-buggg3610]

Wow wow Meg Bear bear is epic the more you did the better she got I absolutely ❤❤❤ your pony and it fantastic to see you back in her saddle please ignore the haters they don't belong on your channel ❤

[@RoseyandHercules]

It is so good so see you and bear jumping again! Love bear and love you Meg, love all of your horses! We need a meet my horses video I can’t keep track on all of those beatiful horses you have ❤ love you so much Meg 😝

[@sarahcooper3378]

Very, very happy you have posted this. Bear has to be the best pony. She has it all, looks, ability and character. Don't cave to the negative comments. They're just not worth it and mean nothing. Love the relationship you have with Freddie. He's a good guy. ❤

[@rosiegeorge8726]

It is so lovely to see bear having so much fun, and you having fun with her. Xxx

[@janl8683]

Loved Bear doing the x pole , then turn to jump on other rein and then it was like "What!!! Where the hell did that scary thing come from????? Ive never seen that before in my life!!!!" 😅😅

[@kimhewson8143]

Yay, so glad you decided to get the jumping out. So much fun watching her jumping. She deffinately is such a fantastic pony 😁 look forward to more of you guys jumping together 😊

[@taliamorgannn]

I’m so sorry that you got all of those horrible messages meg you are truly talented! GREAT TO SEE BEAR BACK BEING SPICY GIRL

[@gillianprime6239]

So lovely to see you jumping Bear again. She’s always been my favourite. She has such style 💕💕💕

[@Booseondeloose]

I admit I did comment on the original video, and I'm sorry if it was taken as hate. Makes a lot more sense how you two were interacting, knowing now that he wasn't there to train you and was just there as a friend trying to help. Big props to you for putting this back up though and I hope you're okay.

[@alisontabernor6332]

Well done Megan and gorgeous Bear! So good to see you both jumping again! She's such a fun pony 😊👏👏

[@Lauren_eq]

i am so exited to see you bring bear back into jumping!!! the first video i ever watched of you was doing a chase me charlie on her!! a real full circle moment!!!

[@Mikaila_eq]

I was pretty confused when I saw this video because I already watched the day it came out but looking at the comments I think I figured it out sounds like there’s been a bit of hate on the other video and I just wanted to say don’t let it get to you Meg, because you are an amazing person.

[@melaniejaynejones6436]

She is such a gorgeous pony and it was cute to see her being excited before jumping, stomping her little legs ❤ Loved the olive colour on Bear, it really suited her. Can't wait to see more of Bear's vlogs 😍

[@diannegirvan6966]

Congratulations! Bear is brilliant ❤❤❤❤❤

[@nicolakerrison]

It really is all in the edit! Great to see you confident and having fun, great to see Bear back in work and Freddy has such a way with horses. Lovely.

[@isaacscrafton8059]

your giggle after bear popped the ground poles was ADORABLE!!! my favs are back to jumping eeeeek!!!!

[@janetrodgers7051]

Well done Meg for putting this back up, and for showing the negative people they are in the minority xx

[@MarionFeltham]

Bear is such a superstar jumper - she doesn't know she is a little, slightly round, pony, she has such sass! I saw nothing wrong with first video either, what are the lyrics from the song - haters gonna hate. You take care Meg, and really well done for getting little spicy drawers over those jumps again, you both looked fab and I know it's taken some work.

[@passionforpiebalds]

You're both looking absolutely fantastic Meg. Fluff the haters. It's jealousy! You keep flying and smiling!! ❤

[@Bear_eq]

Meg we’re all so so proud of u for putting this back up xx hope ur ok💗

[@kpoprobloxedits]

Bear is honestly is a fun pony to watch people ride x. You and bear makes a good duo when it comes to jumping. ❤ Bears little rears at 12:36 was honestly so cute even if she was spooked. Great riding meg.

Glad you posted this! Sorry you had to deal with the idiots on the original video, but remember that's really about them, not about you. Anyway, lovely to see Bear jumping again, although I persist in thinking that you should focus on a BD career for her!

I think you should get Ivy from jumpingwithivy down to give Bear a go. I think Ivy would love her.

[@chloethe.equestrian]

She’s a good rider for her age but I do think she will fly off bear and she’s just so tiny and bear can over jump big

[@april5666]

You and Bear are looking very smart in your new LeMieux gear. I cannot believe you took Bear to Badmington -- she was your first ride there?!? and then, even more amazing, you went back after falling off. You are so brave, Ms Elphick :) Amazing improvement; you have cracked the Teddy Bear!

I'm so glad Bear is BACK!!! It's still so sad to me that she was so fit and looking back on her old videos from 3-4 years ago makes me miss watching her but I'm so glad BEAR JUMPING CONTENT IS BACK

[@Lurkerlady]

So happy you reposted the video, i wasnt able to watch the first one all the way through and was super bummed to find it got taken down. I was even more horrified to find out why it got taken down in the first place. Sorry you had to read such mean things from people who have no right or place to say such things to you! Always focus on the positive and whats good for you. Looked lovely on bear and was nice seeing her jump again 😊!

[@jjrides]

The fact that Freddy can walk to Bear's trot 😂 that was such a fun video ❤

[@ladymare11]

Loved watching you jump Teddy again she really does love flying over the poles. You have a great friendship with Freddie and sometimes we say something we don’t really mean. It’s a shame that some of your followers think they have a right to jump on you, lovely to see you really enjoying Bear ❤

So I didn't get to watch the first video. But I'm half way through and I don't see what the previous issue was. Love to see you and bear jumping again

[@emmadm826]

Well done Meg for putting this back up! I had been looking forward to the old one after work, and was sad to see you had to take it down because people are silly and mean. Anyone should have realised it was mucking about with a friend - it’s not like Freddy hasn’t been on your channel as a friend before.
