JAM'S FIRST EVER EVENT ~ A day of firsts - Swalcliffe BE80

What a day, I really cannot believe how this little horse performed for me at her first ever go at eventing!
Sadly the high is somewhat short lived following recent developments with the Covid-19 pandemic. This will be the last eventing vlog for the foreseeable future as all events/mass gatherings have now been cancelled. As gutting as this is for everyone (horsey and non) it is so crucial we take this seriously and follow government advice. There are far greater sacrifices for many people so please think of others and do what you can to help.
I hope you all enjoy this vlog and I will try my best to stay active on KZbin to provide some entertainment during these difficult and testing times. Stay safe everyone and keep your chins up!

Thank you so much for including me and Sicily in your vlog! you and jam did AMAZING! you and your mum are so nice it was a pleasure to meet you both x

[@elphick.event.ponies]

Thea Ransom it’s my pleasure, thank you so much for coming to support me, it was lovely to meet you both ❤️

[@aideenmurphy9542]

Megan: Nothing is going to dampen my spirits!! Jam: Hehe she wishes........

[@aqhagirlxx4306]

Seeing you get emotional over how much these ponies mean to you proves just how much of a horsewoman you are. I love watching your vlogs. Never stop chasing your dreams Meg! ❤️❤️

[@rachaelhutchings2659]

Jam looks like a pro! Certainly doesn’t look like her first event, she’s mature and bold towards fences and doesn’t look at anything by the look of it. Such a shame the season has come to such a halt, she has all the attributes you’d want in a badminton or burghley horse as well as having awesome scope. She also looks like she was still full of running in very testing/tiring conditions. Well done to both of you and kudos to Hobbit for the vlogging and superior green laning!

[@isalsaurusthelemon6512]

seeing this after her third place on jammy at badminton🥹🥹

[@Lady_Lavandula]

Here after Jam killed it at Badminton, she’s such a trooper!! ❤️ What an absolute star of a horse. 🥰

[@The_2_crazy_chestnuts]

im here after baders 100 and going to international!!! mental to see the difference so proud

[@dannyhayes4474]

While eventing may have been cancelled for the moment at least you’ve got a 100% win rate so far this season 🤷‍♂️

[@rosie-pj4dp]

😂 always look on the bright side I guess hahah ✨

[@Anya-op6lp]

Those hobbit segments were the cutest things I’ve ever SEEN, also- what a mega pony you’ve produced! Pat on the back for you & a carrot for jammy dodger

[@emmaslittlestable5096]

Aww I do think jammy dodger deserves a juicy carrot 🥕 ❤️

[@cloudykate3589]

meg: nothings gonna dampen my spirits. covid 19- HOLD MY BEER

[@tiramisumochi4787]

Kate Eq i was thinking that. I don’t think the eventing season will be long this year 😬

[@elphick.event.ponies]

Oh my god, literally 😭😭

[@h495]

Elphick.Event.Ponies we got one good vlog in 😉

[@tiramisumochi4787]

Elphick.Event.Ponies so sad! 😭 I hope you will still be vlogging horsey goodness for all of us stuck indoors 😆 pleeease!

[@whatsupdoc99]

It's bean lovely to look back to see where it all started with Jam - competition wise. 🤩Jam always lifts her knees up really high when jumping - such a careful pony/horse! 🐎 She WON her first ODE in ALL that MUD!!!! Well done Megan and Jam, Hobbit too! 🥰

[@caitlinjarvis2608]

Megan: who are we?! Hobbit: Good Morning 😂😂 I love these two in vlogs literally the best!!! 😂😂😂

[@HollyLenahanSJ]

Ok I have to admit, I was high key emotional watching you after you finished (a singular tear may have been shed 👀) So so proud of you two ❤️❤️

[@elphick.event.ponies]

Holly Lenahan you cutie ❤️❤️

[@shazzataz]

Jam was an absolute star 🌟 bless her xx

[@attilathehen1555]

She did brilliantly! Good job she can’t read the numbers or she’d have gone round on her own.....no, seriously , well done Jam and Meg!

[@katiewinfield9346]

Oh my god meg when you starting getting emotional after cross country you actually made me cry! You have so much love for your horses and it really shows! You and jam deserved this! AMAZING ❤️

[@babyjag7418]

Wohooo, the Polo shirt has come out of hibernation, rocking it to the moon and back Hobbit. 🥰😍🥰😍. Top banana on the commentary Hobbit, superb, you are spoiling us.

[@elliepopdragon28]

Jam bam is a Legend! What a fabulous event! She did amazing!

[@miaandroxy]

Watching this 3 years in the future, you can tell jam is a special pony x

[@pattyslawatecka8827]

God I love watching jam jump and I love you too meg and all the work you do with these horses

[@Squimbelina]

Awwww, KZbin has just recommended this to me after watching the Talland takeover and baby Jammy was just as much of a star as she is now! You were so emotional - obviously knew she was special from day 1.

[@paints11081]

My heart 💙 Hobbit was so worried going into the show jumping. You could totally hear a "mothers worry" pleading with Jam to keep her girl safe.

[@Elza444_]

Now look at her!!!! Badminton here she comes!!🤍🤍

[@paints11081]

I bet those tractor drivers were exhausted at the end of the day. The unsung heros!

[@kudapooda9993]

Hi both that was brilliant confidence boost for the first-time,watch it as I don't remember watching it the first time so did on the 8th/9/2023 ..

[@hannahshorty902]

Hobbit needs her own channel to vlog the BTS of these videos haha of course dependent on what is actually happening in this country atm! Fingers crossed this virus gets gone quickly and we can all move on with our lives ❤️

[@fleetskipper1810]

hannahshorty Amen to that. This virus makes eventing in a foot of sloppy mud and getting the van stuck in the field look like the most desirable outing on earth! I’m already getting squirrelly being housebound.

[@rachelgodfrey6110]

Wow !! Jam and Meg you are both awesome, how amazing for you both. Hobbit, you are such a supportive Mum, i love listening to your commentary, so positive! well done team xx

[@kristenmccook837]

Watching this Vlog after Badminton, makes it all the more surreal :) Jam is a special one for sure!

[@Ihavennamcom]

Well done Meg and especially Jam!!!💞💓💕

[@emchambers5597]

Hobbit’s vlogging moment was so sweet ☺️ Jam looked fantastic, like she’d been doing it for years. Congrats gal 🎉🎉

[@melissayost4888]

GO JAMMER! Congratulations! We love you Hobbit jumper & all. You two are wonderful. My favorite channel. XOXO

[@molly-joweldon4512]

Jam is a gem!

[@tinapartridge7427]

Jam may not of done the prep in the disciplines but again at home they get to see the world you know your babies so well your routine is to me spot on if it doesn't feel right don't do it training cannot be written in stone you never ask to much and there happy ponies so they give it back well done 😘for Jam and well done Hobbit for your driving🚜fingers crossed not to much is cancelled but as I write this not looking to good .

[@equinemolly9898]

[@katiedexter6869]

This honestly cheered me up so much and i forgot about corona for 40 minutes, Jam is so fab she has such a bright future ahead of her and it shows how well you bring on the ponies. Love all the vlogs and the ponies x

[@bethnorrishequine9077]

Amazing result, so pleased for and slightly envious you managed to get out! Xx

[@hollyxwynne6150]

Such an honest pony! AMAZING

[@april5666]

Jam is a Gem. Maybe a name change? Or at least an additional nickname? She broke my heart when she was nearly indifferent to carrots in the barn :( If she's this good nervous, imagine how she'll be when more experienced. Such a great day for all of you. So well done. Congrats. Also, there were motorcycle or cross-county vehicle motors right at the end of your XC and Jam did not even flinch. She is definitely an up and comer. Thanks for the good spirits. Team Elphick rocks.

[@Equitay]

To think this little pony is now taking you to Badminton! She's such a star with so much potential

[@beachbumetta]

Aww, you even made me cry. Bless your mom, driving like a superstar and just as she can taste victory, the mud wins. Congrats to you and Jam, wonderful day!

Jam has got it. What a good girl. OMG

[@juliecarmody6773]

Gold Star ⭐️ all the way 🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@1Sassy2010]

Lovely vlog, especially enjoyed Mums bit. So sorry for the sticky mud...all just part of the fun 😉 you had me in tears..hugs to you three! thanks for sharing!

[@donnajeffery3136]

Congratulations and you and Jam have done excellent and for her first ever proper show she is like an old pro in a young ponies body I now have a joint third favourite as it is Sally, Bear ,and joint third is Jam and Lara that is out of the older horses oh I can’t wait to see her in the future ❤️🥳

[@Shima_2510]

Glad I am not the only one who gets emotional, my dog got his first ever reserve best in show. Bawled like a baby on the way home, it was truly embarrassing. Well done Meg and Jam, superstar pony in the making!

[@georgiamolton8732]

Awwww!! She is such a credit to you and your mum, she is absolutely amazing. Such a lovely distraction from troubled times x

[@hookingandstitching4876]

Oh Meg! How amazing for you and Jam (I know this was two years ago) Just wanted to say thank you for putting so many fabulous, real, eventing vlogs out there. I’m currently laid up with Covid and have been watching your vids back to back. I’ve not seen my ponies in nearly a week and I need to get better by this weekend as I’ve got a bit fit clinic, a showjumping lesson and an Easter fun show for the kids 🫣

[@myhorseandme]

Can Hobbit release her own clothing line - particularly the jumper because we all want to win!

[@rosie-pj4dp]

Ooh yes please I need one of those jumpers ✨😂

[@elphick.event.ponies]

😂😂😂😂

[@guardiansanimalrescuestate7289]

Which jumper??

[@dtulip1]

OMG..what a nightmare that ground! Congrats on surviving that and massive hugs to Jam... BEST PONY

[@madison3425]

I’m buzzing for you and Jam!! So excited to watch as your journey continues

[@buckinggoodride882]

“May the best Lorry win” 😂 what a super star you’ve produced! Winning on a pony that’s never done a real XC course in the muck!! Awesome job!

[@MJ_Eq13]

Pov: your watching this after Jam has gone to badminton and done amazing!!!!!

[@janicerosenthal8798]

Meg congratulations to you & Warrior Jam she was absolutely fierce today in that sloppy mess. With your patience and uplifting spirit you both connected and took that course on like old pros . Absolutely wonderful ❤️🏇🏻❤️

[@milsequine3193]

i think this is fab !!! this little pony is so brave and bold its unreal !! cant wait for what lies ahead of you both !! u rode her like you stole her ahaha so proud of you it was cracking xx

[@emilyvleuten5358]

And to think that a short 4 years later, you and Jam are now aiming for your first 1* international event together... I think you knew then that you had good one!

[@sandraback7809]

Brilliant! Credit to both of you😍

[@obsessionofhorses]

What a ledge!! Such a pro!!

[@graceslittlefilms9358]

watching this in 2021 and it makes me so emotional!! Look how far she has come, but still gets nervousssss! Bless her little heart. I had to give up horses 5 years ago and your videos bring back all those emotions!!

[@emilysmith6349]

I had a lesson with bill levet he is amazing! He really brought my jumping to a new level and you’ll enjoy it!! Xxx

Good girl, Jam!! She is growing up so nicely. You're doing an amazing job with her, Megan. Congrats on your win!

[@Morganpies]

oh meg you had me in tears watching you after your cross country round! Jam looks incredible! She is so muscular and well put together going over that ground without an issue and she is so happy and just incredible all because you never gave up on her! Congratulations!!!!

[@gillwhiteman7248]

Brilliant - what a wonderful Jam Gem. I felt emotional watching her take it in her stride. You rode her kindly and wisely.

[@PoPo-xo6hu]

I’m honestly so so proud of Jam and you , you’ve come so so far and you’ve done a phenomenal job with her ! You should be delighted 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@molly-joweldon4512]

Such a lovely pony!!

[@janeminwell4395]

Fantastic ladies, all 3! Jam is so ' round' now, great work Meg. What a brilliant attitude she had for a first-timer. That dressage arena looked dire, and she coped so well! Good job Hobbit! Such a pity this virus has come along, no sport of any kind for the forseeable. Still, congratulations on this!

[@indiafroggatt1505]

Jam, what a legend!
