Second big-time trainer in weeks who told you to TRUST YOURSELF. Sensing a theme? 🙂 A great lesson and I think all this will work well with Jammy. I've often thought that your problem was trying to half-halt too close to the fences, rather than getting her back into a good rhythm AFTER the fences/around the turns. Try riding Jam like Brownie and see what happens!

[@genthespacewitch]

I agree with this SO HARD. This is one of those lessons that you just need to cookie-cutter with Jam. Everything you did here, do with her!

[@feichannel]

Meg AND Piggy! TWO of the best! ✌🤩

[@elphick_eq]

My two favs!!! ❤

[@urLocal_adhd]

fei there is seriously something wrong with the way you allow competitors to ride their horses

[@gimnastics.]

Ya❤

[@robertcandage5345]

You are really learning the details that make a rider a pro. The subtle but important little things about your position and body carriage, the way to use a half halt effectively and when to use it, when to trust the horse, the small ways to relax and be confident. I am thrilled you are able to use the knowledge of so many great equestrians. Making these changes enough times so they become body memory is going to work wonders on your results. Great lessons. Keep making mistakes, just learn from every one of them. You are amazing. Thanks for sharing so others can learn too.

[@janeminwell4395]

Well said. Body memory is the key.

[@elphick.event.ponies]

Thanks for the lovely comment, means so much! I’m incredibly lucky for all of these experiences! ♥️

[@CashStuffWithKristine]

Can I just say what a transformation from Lucinda’s earlier this year to this video! You really should take stock of how far you have come!!! You are very lucky to have the professional help BUT you have also put in a lot of hours Meg! Here’s to 2024 the best year yet!

[@elphick.event.ponies]

Awh thank you, has been a real journey!

[@LucyJackson-om2dc]

So lucky to have so many opportunities! Piggy March is fantastic!

[@lianneamington1791]

Meg I’m in shock that you criticise your riding so much. You are a fan rider. You need to really take Piggy’s advice because while you always ride well you rode that horse absolutely beautifully & it liked calm, contained, focussed & professional. I wish I’d had a really knowledgeable & kind riding instructor as a child. Coming from a horse free family my mum was pretty oblivious to the old fashioned attitudes that sometimes prevailed about getting on with things & getting tough. It took me until I fell off aged 27 & broke my ankle & insisted on getting back on my horse while trembling in fear & pain to realise, I think at the time I could not get my foot in my r stirrup that I was injured & the last place I should be is on the back of a horse. Those attitudes led to me being scared & loosing confidence never regained. Oh & not forgetting having nasty falls where my horse ended up falling & I hurt myself. I’m slightly jealous that you got to ride on Brownie. I’m getting back into riding soon after the last of my horses passed away close to 2 years since. First time since 12 that I’d never had a horse. I’ve never jumped for 20 plus years & I dreamed over the last tenish years of finding a horse that knows it’s role, gets over whatever is in front of it given I’ll defo mess up, doesn’t stop & is forward going. He looked like a dream to ride. I was showing my mum horsey partner who presumed I’d want the opposite of forward going when getting back to jumping & was using your riding as an example of how it’s more comfortable, enjoyable, interesting & safe to be on something moving with confidence it’ll look after you. He can’t understand why forward going isn’t a worry to me in this context. We have been together close to 20 years & he’s never even sat on a horse. I think any chances of him moving towards a stage where he appreciate by personal experience why forward going is safer is gone. I love your vids. Interesting & informative, a great mix of different detail & content in the vids. Looking forward to watching you & jam get to Badminton. You got this Meg ❤🎉😊😅xx

[@lianneamington1791]

@@elphick.event.poniesYou are a particularly capable & kind rider. I’ve been around horses for close to 40 years, until 2 years ago, regularly. You are up there with some of the best riders I’ve seen minus the quality at Olympic level. I’d absolutely trust you with any horse of mine, which isn’t likely testament to the ability or price tag of those horses, but absolutely a very high seal if approval from someone who only completely trusts 2 people. Stop giving yourself such a hard time. No one is perfect & I really believe that the only thing holding you back at times is your head.

[@lianneamington1791]

I sound like a deluded weird fan ha ha. I promise I’m not it’s just I don’t think I ever commented on your vids & I’m terrible at typing succinct messages. Xx

[@elphick.event.ponies]

She’s amazing isn’t she!!

[@april5666]

YES and YES. Piggy Marsh and Brownie are both LEGENDS! What a gorgeous boy, Brownie is; that looked like so much fun. Brownie just has perfect form/outline in every gate. Amazing to watch his enthusiasm too. Thank you for taking us along for the ride ;)

It was so amazing to watch him relax into a lovely soft stride after the half halts. Thanks for this video!

[@luizafonseca_]

So funny that now that we have Wilma on the channel, when I see a brown horse I just asume it's her 😂 and was like "what? She looks different" maybe it's because that's not her, genius 😂😂

Your lessons with the various pros were all so insightful, positive, and beneficial!! Love Piggy, so positive and reassuring!!!!

[@sianbennett-rodgers]

This must have been so good for your confidence. Its lovely to see you acknowledge that you have places in your riding you need to work on and are trying hard to rectify that. I too came up on insane pingy ponies and have a tendency to take a pull so i get it. 😂 I think Jam is enough of an established horse at the levels shes at that you can apply alot of this to her

[@biggothepiggo]

You really do have the best job! Lovely riding here, Meg! What a horse too (and trainer OMG!)!

Dear lord that scenery ❤❤❤ these videos are muahhhh ❤❤❤

[@according2her]

At my riding school, where I've been learning to ride for five years now, we have an ex showjumper. Really nice horse but I rarely ride him because usually I come on his day off and when I have had the pleasure, I never managed to canter him. He has a reputation for being strong and forward so as an anxious rider, even on the lunge I never made it beyond trotting as he senses me tensing up and we spiral haha. I've always wanted to give it another go and maybe just do the first transition from walk so I won't have time to get in my head because both my instructor and I are quite sure that actually cantering him is not the problem. Seeing this video and how you managed to calm Brownie down really makes me want to give it another go on him because he's a lovely horse and I have to get over it at some point :D

[@titanbuck7]

Just found this quote from Buck Brannaman, a Legendary western horseman "Until you can walk, trot, canter AND gallop on a loose rein with direction and purpose collection is a JOKE. It's not collection, it's containment for an insecure rider. Containment and paranoia. It's pulling and holding and you're just calling it collection to sound noble." -Buck. Still really good riding with a ton learned. Looking forward to those lunge lessons where you ride and jump without reins. ❤❤❤
