IT'S TIME TO REBUILD MY SHOWJUMPING CONFIDENCE

[@taylorequestrian]

I am Australian, and yes we have curly wurlys here 😂 But it’s so good to see you getting your confidence back because it’s looking great! Love your channel, there is never a boring video! 😂❤

[@elphick.event.ponies]

I had a sneaky feeling you would 😂 Thanks so much for the lovely comment!

[@111PuppyLove111]

New Zealander here and we also have them 😂

[@keiramae9508]

New Zealand has Curly wurly's! Well ridden Meg. x

[@kbrandequestrian]

This is so educational not only for you, but for us viewers too!! I'm easily able to identify when my horse and I jumped that I too would be nervous and pull and pull and have absolutely nothing for a canter, and then we'd chip and just have poor riding all around. It's wonderful seeing when you had that a-ha moment!

[@jessicabender4479]

After a rough couple of months filled with refusals, I am slowly rebuilding my confidence too Meg

[@hannahbalfour6394]

I love your videos Meg but It always amazes me that when you ride bear, a pony that stops and spooks, you always ride so forward but with Dee and Jam you hold them when they never seem to do anything and try so hard! Well done for doing your best and working to make yourself the best rider you can be!

[@barbarianvee]

Zero Curly Wurlys where I am in the US, on the East coast. Maybe in the international foods section of Wegmans, but I don't really eat candy so I don't check the candy there... Really appreciate seeing the lesson and all your commentary and explanation. Looking forward to hopefully seeing the video of Jammy getting new bits, too!

[@Mickey27_]

Don’t have them in the Midwest either

[@shelaghhall5900]

Poor Hobs. Back issues are awful and only people who suffer understand it. Jam is so much happier with the forward ride, she just loves her job :). As for Curly Wurly's, we *can* get them in Canada but it seems only specialty shops, Amazon etc. We used to have it here a loooong time ago but it was called a WigWag then. :)

[@brinlymcevoy2449]

From New Zealand and we have the curly wurleys here... Love you and you video's so much, it give me confidence to try tough courses and jump that little bit higher 😊😄

[@amyriordan9324]

Australia and new Zealand have curly wirlys. Also it's funny that you mentioned the twisting it's something I've always seen she twists her hind legs out to the left of herself when she jumps. You can really see it in that video of you jumping the log going down the bank

[@mm-bv4zw]

That 3rd picture at the end is just chefs kiss 👌

[@roilenezeyouma8442]

It's so cute when JAM is warming up on her jumps it seems to me that's she is saying "come on mom give me something big to jump" just love jam

[@laurenpaige2896]

I was born and bred in somerset, England. Moved to New Zealand in 2003. I introduced my now partner to curly whirly this year and he is obsessed!! We can buy them in international stores in NZ but not many nz'ers know about them! I was bought up with them. So good!

[@emma_and_a_horse]

Great video Meg :D Thanks for sharing :D We have Curly Wurly in Australia. I moved to California and I can't find them anywhere :(

[@digglediaries5548]

Curly Wurlys were my fave childhood choccie! In Australia here :) Love your videos Meg, love you're real with everyone - especially about your confidence

[@Whizzywelsh_Eventing]

Oh wow !! What a difference, I totally know that feeling of the fence coming to soon & taking that little ‘EEE’ pull. Fab lesson to watch Meg! I think you’re not too far away from me- Highly recommend Jon Rogers - you will LOVE the exercises he does x

[@MissJools11]

We can get curly wurlys in New Zealand!!

[@uwggrad2010]

I've never heard of a curly whirrley and I am in America. Loved this video of you and Jammy! We all lose confidence at times and need that boost to get our groove back.

[@cleo-yu2hp]

Lovely to see another of your videos, Meg. I could never get tired of watching you and the ponies! not to criticize ( everyone does what they feel is best for their horses of course) but I will say, it is quite nice to see you jumping with boots on your pony. I do believe leg protection is not to be taken lightly and the boots probably help the horse to feel more confident… thank you so much for the video!

[@laurentead65]

Great lesson fabulous gray pony! Thanks for the curly wurly tip. When I was a kid my fav candy bar was the Marathon Bar it was very similar looking foot long braid of chocolate covered caramel. Loved them frozen! Sadly, long ago the were discontinued, I don't think I've had one since the late 70's. Yes, I'm that old. Anyhoo as I was listening I put a package of curly wurlys in my Amazon cart. I will be so grateful to you from across the pond, if they turn out to be the same or even close to this old gals childhood candy.

[@alisontabernor6332]

Well done Meg and Jam. I can relate to you holding onto Jam. I had an Arab X who was great at jumping but wanted to run full speed all the time. Lot of hard work schooling to slow him down to give me the confidence. I love curly wurley too. Hope your Mum is feeling better soon. 🤗

[@charlottegreen9581]

We don't have curly whirly's in the US, but we do have them in Dubai but only at Waitrose or Spinneys :) they're some of my faves ☺️

[@bellebrowe511]

Meg’s riding is looking amazing. She looks so professional.

[@lilycarter2751]

This is such an important video!! One of the things that really helped me was getting consistent with my lead changes and now that I have them easier, I'm so much more confident and balanced :)

[@janeminwell4395]

Well done Meg, and keep taking us with you to your lessons! Hope Hobbit’s back gets better quickly.

[@patriciaemms1902]

Just look at the scope of Jambam, please have faith in her and let her have more impulsion, I think she would jump the moon for you, good lesson well done x

[@monstamunch8763]

The little trigger warning for the talking of eating habits warmed my heart, love you meg

[@janegoldstein8110]

Hi Meg, I haven’t got a clue about curly worlies we definitely don’t have them over here in Florida, I cannot speak for other parts of America. Great lesson Meg, you really did,look good by the end of it. Jane 👍😎🐴🐎🧑🏻‍🦰

[@Jazzvibesicl]

Hope you feel comfortably secure with Jam soon, horses are so up and down! xx

[@juliabanes204]

South African here, no Curly Whirly's here! Poor Hobbit with back pain :( Hope things are better for her now? Glad for an away-lesson/clinic, glad you had an ah-ha moment

[@colleenw8756]

Kurley Wurlry. I had them when I was much younger. I'm now 64 - shock horror. Loved them. Haven't had them for years. Very chewy. Loved them.

[@scsnl]

So nice to see you went to William! He's lovely and has helped me out loads.

[@clarestephenson3031]

Curly eyelids are very good when making a cake which needs decoration - fences - paths - walls ??? Just a thought … Keep up the good work Meg xx

[@michaelajanescott5927]

I love curly wurlies!!! Well done jumping Meg and Jammie!!! (I'm from Warwickshire) xxx

[@tracymckerchar9037]

New Zealand have Curley Wurleys enjoy!! Don’t be hard on yourself. You want to get better, you see something in your riding that doesn’t feel right so your fixing it. I say that is you getting focused on your training.

[@lisabibby3222]

Expert bits are amazing! Finally found a bit that works incredibly well for my mare! Love you vlogs and can’t wait to watch this 😍😍 Jammy is incredible!

[@laurajanemurphy4278]

My heartfelt sympathy to Hobbit! I so enjoy your training videos. You process them well and we all benefit. Please go back and watch your Bicton video. You were bold and confident and it payed off. You have become more cautious lately and your caution rattles Jam. She is so scopey. We have watched her mature into such a confident pony. She's pulling because she knows how much power she needs to navigate the course. She is trying to show you now. I've always felt it is a sign of good schooling and a great relationship when your horse wants to make a valid point. Congratulations! Oh, we don't have Curly Whirlies here in Georgia (US). Wish we did....

[@timepatches]

we have curly wurlys in Australia 🙏 my childhood!!

[@jmleeinla4025]

Never heard of curlywhirly! I’m in the USA. They might be in a store called world market. I’ll have to check them out, they sound good! Your confidence can only grow with these lessons, they’re good for both of you. 🐎🐎🐎

[@wendyburton-smith1165]

We have Curly Wurlys here in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 UK! Loved watching your video Meg - I had my own horse for 21 years until she passed away 3 years ago aged 30 ❤️🐴 we did lots of fun rides but only popped over the occasional log as I was too nervous to jump anything bigger!! Looking forward to your next video 👍😆

[@wylime]

I live in Eastern Canada, and we don't really have curly wurly's. You can sometimes find them in the international section of a grocery store. They aren't with the regular chocolate bars at the cash register. Wonderful video today! You can really see how much that helped you! By the end you were flying! Love to see your confidence boosted!!!

[@kelleywebb7392]

I too cannot find Curly Wurlys. I’m in Toronto, so you must be in the region. More importantly, I’m glad Meg shared her excellent lesson.

[@wylime]

@@kelleywebb7392 check international sections at sobeys (or the TO equivalent)

[@jaredpaigelisk2867]

@@kelleywebb7392 I’m in Ottawa and they are available in the international section at our Walmart. Maybe yours has them too?!

[@Mewmewfreaksayspika]

I'm in Texas, never heard of a Curly Wurly, but it sounds delicious! Thank you for this vlog, I struggle so much with confidence. It's nice to see you work through it.

[@andystpierre6086]

I wish we had Curly wurlys here, in Canada! They look delicious 😂 It’s really cool to witness your journey not only with Jammy but as a rider, with your lessons on the saddle, but also with your feeding and equipment.

[@suzannerichards4885]

One thing I learned from equestrian classes back when University of Kentucky still had them that always stuck with me; just like driving a car, you slow down before the turn then accelerate thru the turn. So half halt before then leg on thru.

[@Sppoky_Luce6422]

I love watching these lesson videos so much love your content Meg ❤

[@flyingcolorsponies]

No curly whirlies here in the U.S., though we do have other Cadbury things. Just minimal options, which makes me sad because it's such good stuff. Great video! I love lesson vlogs. I've had my own confidence knocks this season so I get it. Hang in there!

[@vogelaarjuna7963]

yes we have them here in the netherlands

[@valeriefergusson269]

She was clearing by a mile and loving it well done xx

[@myebaysummary1]

We have Curley Worleys in New Zealand

[@laurenstead250]

Well done, I also tend to shut down when I’m nervous and need to ride forward more. And yes, I’m in South Africa and we have Curly Wurlys (well actually I don’t know if we do, but we have a shop here that imports things from all over the world and it brings them in).

[@aprilmarini5109]

I'm from the US! We don't have curly wurlys, but I can occasionally bribe my British friends to send them to me. They are my fave British candy. 😍

[@sheenashapland3394]

Great lesson. Good to see u breaking out the habit of holding Jam back. I’ve noticed that a lot in your previous videos. You did great and jam was a power house. Also we have curly whirlys in Australia.

[@francescafaull1253]

Los Angeles. Yes, at Curly Wurlys at the Indian store that has loads of UK products. Colonial hangover, I think.

[@mariewolf1499]

Yes, curly wurly!! We in Germany have them and i love it!

[@LisauaChloe]

I honestly learn so much from your lessons! As I do exactly the same! So I don't ever comment but honestly Thank you for sharing your lessons, lovely! xx

[@andreawallace7724]

You can find Curly Wurlys in Chicago, USA, but only in a few stores that have an international section.

[@avagrant5205]

Hello from Australia! I love these type of videos and yes we do have curly wurly's. Hope Hobbit's back gets better soon!

[@wild_adventure13]

Meg your channel is absolutely amazing and I can't wait to watch this! Your definitely my favourite youtuber by far. You were the one that inspired me in my riding and watching your videos solves my ups and downs. Keep up the amazing videos and channel meg ❤

[@Ember_Dragons93]

I know it is amazing!

I live in brazil, have never seen that chocolate before!

Australia gal here - yes we have curly Wurlys ! Currently going through the same as you, struggling with my forward ness

[@kateflanders7611]

Thanks Meg, a good feeling you’ve shared as you gain confidence! I live in Washington DC and we don’t have CurlyWorlys.

[@Talkingg]

Curly Wurly’s are Australia! They’re so GOOD, especially on a cold Saturday morning after a game of hockey 😂 so so amazing!!

[@sturdygirl7772]

Sadly, no Curly Whirly here ☹️🤤 Kentucky USA. Sounds like something I’d enjoy 😊 I hope Hobbit’s back feels better v soon! A sore back is miserable 🤗 and happy your confidence has had a boost! 👍🏻👍🏻😊

[@hikori3941]

You can get Curly Wurlies in Canada but they are an import, so only available at special stores. I do love them though!

[@melaniejaynejones6436]

Great vlog Meg, and everything William was saying made sense. Sometimes we can become complacent. Good idea Hobbit had to continue jumping through the winter months. I think this will not only improve your jumping but will give you a huge confidence boost 😊 I remember Curly Wirly's £.15p 🤣 They were so nice and as a child it felt like it lasted you forever 😁 Not had one in years though!!

[@kristinvinje8608]

We don’t have Curly Wurlys in Canada. You and Jammy looked very nice today, hope it helps when eventing comes again

[@viperite]

Jammy is amazing, you can trust him!!

[@poatoe356]

We have Curly Wurly's here in Germany, though they are not popular with most folks my family and I love them. Good job on you rebuilding your confidence by the way!

[@fantellerhur]

jam is so capable and letting her go forward definitely lets her show more of that! looks like this was a great lesson. and don't have curly wurlies in belgium haha!

[@peterparsonage2976]

You've been keeping this quiet. I saw episode 6 of the Rings of Power and it's you and Jam as stunt doubles for Galadriel chasing the baddie through the woods. Props.

[@syzygyfarm]

I have never heard of a curlywurly (?) until now. I've lived all across the US. We have a bunch of Cadbury's candies but not that. Thanks for sharing your confidence knock so openly. It honestly happens to all of us at one point or another and I don't feel like it's talked about enough.

[@tillyprice3169]

We have curly wurly's in Australia! Great lesson meg😊

[@djorupgerhardt]

No curlywhirly in New Hampshire USA- but just over border to Canada and Cadbury is available!

[@samarraaa]

i really do like that even though meg owns a barn, horses and has her own arena and everything there is still more she can learn and she still gets advice and help and always tries to improve her riding. i havent been enjoying riding much and im trying to learn to love it again but watching this really did help because i feel as if ive been set back in my riding when the reality is i just have more to learn and im not the only one and that i can in fact improve my riding- it will just take time. meg, you really are an inspiration to me because youre so real with everything and i love love love it

[@coraliesentch4515]

That was a brilliant lesson to watch Meg…👌🏻👍🏻💯🥰 plus here in New Zealand we have plenty of Cadbury products but, sadly, NO Curly Wurly’s 🤓🥰
