Brilliant ride Meg! You CAN ride! Just have a little more confidence in yourself. I'm looking forward to seeing Jam and Dee being schooled!

[@elphick.event.ponies]

Thank you! Yes, didn’t really realise how low my confidence was until this weekend to be honest.

[@feichannel]

Well done! Get those little fingers working 👏😅

[@elphick.event.ponies]

TIGHTTTTTTT 😂

[@melliejones810]

Meg, you rode amazingly, and you shouldn't doubt yourself 😊 Perdy was a sweetheart. It was lovely to hear your mum, she was praising you and sounded very proud. I look forward to seeing you next lesson of Jam and Dee ❤

[@VIPEqTHud]

If I could like this video a zillion times I would. You rode so so so so so well. Purdy thought so too the way she went. With a NLP/Neuro linguistic hat on, please don’t big up badminton too much in your brain. Think confidence and preparation (which you are) rather than saying it’s big and I am worried. We all know it’s a massive achievement and a whopping big course , and the pressure of the title sponsor , and we are all gunning and excited for you. Self talk is so powerful and you are a fab rider - believe! Lucinda wouldn’t let just anyone ride her horses - meg you rock

[@suzannechance5876]

You are spot on with the self talk issue and fear focus. Would love to hear how she would sound with a bit of neural rephrasing, we already know she can ride beautifully and skillfully!

[@elphick.event.ponies]

This is very good advice, thank you. I’m feeling so much better about Badminton after this weekend tbf x

[@suzannechance5876]

Hobbit is so proud of you. I love to hear it in her voice when she's filming you ride. You are so fortunate to have such positive support and help around. Don't you realize you can do anything you dream of? THINK FOWARD MEG. KEEP THAT POSITIVE LEG ON!

[@janeminwell4395]

Well said.

[@jenniferlehman326]

Loved how Lucinda was ALWAYS telling you, "LOOK UP!!" You have to see where you're going and also be preparing for the next fence as well. Great lesson to watch!! So chuffed and proud of you Meg!! 💖 💖 Can't wait to see the ones with DeeDee and Jam. I'm sure Lucinda will be saying "COUNT!!" and "LOOK UP!!" a fair amount of times. You're a very good rider Meg. Trust yourself!! Love from Ontario, Canada, Jenn. 💖 💖 🇨🇦 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

[@elphick.event.ponies]

Yeh I do seem to love looking into the bottom of fences 😂

[@livarr9427]

Amazing riding Meg it’s a big step from ponies to horses especially that technical jumping .. should be very proud of yourself you looked incredible xx

[@LoupyMor]

Aw I just love your mum and all her encouraging commentary! You look right at home on her. 🥰

[@RachOvGlyn]

Loved this, I remember watching the series Team Fredericks, absolutely love Lucindas way of teaching and well ridden you!!

[@jedsequine1564]

Me too! Loved watching that!

[@laylabromley6123]

Wow Meg! That was incredible, well done! Would be good to hear you have more faith in yourself. You're a great rider and real role model for us all ❤

[@ljmequestrian504]

I hope you get a horse some day soon, you could definitely move up the levels! Also, really enjoyed listening to Lucinda’s instruction! Anyone know where that neck strap was from??

[@ginnyferguson3772]

Love Hobbit 💗 she's so proud of you both!! Good for you seeking help and guidance, love how you are so sensible and I'm such a fan of Lucinda,, cant wait for the next installment 🥰

[@faithphelps5170]

meg, you rode beautifully! i love watching your videos one because i just do, but two because you give me so much inspiration! i look up to you so much and i just want you to know how proud i am at how brave you were to even ride a new horse.

[@jeniferrinehart1107]

Well done! Boy what a difference when you look up! Your whole orientation changed to up and forward. So exciting to watch!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@sophiasheehan561]

You rode fabulously Meg! Also, Hobs is so supportive of you it's so lovely to see 😭❤

[@kristiwetsel9531]

What a remarkable 5 year old! And you are remarkable you should never doubt yourself ! That extended trot 😍 I know this was 10 months ago but all these Instructors see how amazing you are !! And it's amazing to learn from all of them 💙

[@liespootemans2502]

Reaaaally looking forward to the next vlogs! Thank you for showing us these lessons, it's always so interesting to see them 😁

[@tracyd27]

Meg, I wish you could see yourself the way we see you. You rode Perdy wonderfully, and as she said you made Perdy look good. Rate yourself luv, the rest of us are all cheering you on. Looking forward to seeing Jam and Dee's lessons.

[@jedsequine1564]

Aw I loved hobbit cam and your mum being so lovely and supportive!

[@Katherinekirbydressage]

You look great on her!! Love listening to all the guidance from Lucinda!

[@lifewithapaint]

This was amazing! Can I also borrow Hobbit please?! She is so supportive and constantly being so kind from this sidelines - it’s so sweet!

[@ponyparty28]

love the encouraging words from Hobbit and your instructor - well deserved 😇🦄

[@FireflySolara]

Great riding. Your mum is so cute and supportive on the Hobbit cam footage. She sounded so proud of you xx

[@hiddengemequestrian]

Watching this made me feel so much better. I have lost a lot of confidence lately showjumping because I ride a somewhat green OTTB 5 year old mare(funnily enough named Ellie) and she is speedy and has recently started bucking. I don't feel confident in myself at all and so it was so nice to watch this and be reassured that I am not the only one who feels not very confident showjumping sometimes and who is too hard on themselves. Loved watching this! Edit: omg I got pinned! I’m your first ever customer by the way! Bears front shoe is hanging in my room!

[@jedsequine1564]

That’s very cool!

[@bethany6148]

You know it takes a lot of guts and good riding to get on a horse you've never ridden before and jump the fences you did! You made it look easy and rode her lovely and what a super star she is. X

[@helenwoollven3116]

What a great lesson, lovely, lovely horse. Well done 👏

[@rachequine8396]

I absolutely love your mums comments you can hear how proud of you she is! ❤️

[@Macaw1313]

THANK YOU for making it ok to voice that your nerves and afraid of huge jumps (any jump for me) but still having so much confidence to help the horse

[@jobegg3797]

This was so enjoyable to watch, what an amazing teacher Lucinda is too xx

[@MiniMeadowEquestrian]

Meg, have faith in your self you ride beautifully.

[@lovehorses5881]

Love watching all of your videos with the Fredericks!

[@nikkib2143]

What an incredibly brilliant vlog Meg and really enjoyable to watch. Give yourself a well deserved pat on the back you took everything on and rode really well, nice one ❤🙌 x.

[@dianealden9293]

Am happy happy she mentioned your wrists, hands and fingers. Made me feel better about what I was seeing. Lucinda is the best. Glad you taking her to heart. A suggestion - try beginning ballet exercises for shoulder and torso placement. Translate to saddle work.

[@LifeontheLeftRein]

Blooming aced that Meggy!!!! 👏🤍 have a little more faith lady!!!!😘

[@elphick.event.ponies]

You cutie pie ❤️

[@melliejones810]

She certainly did Tina, and your right Meg needs to have bucket loads of faith ❤

[@YoungGreyMare]

You doubt yourself so much!! You really have no idea what a fantastic rider you are! You smashed it 👏❤️ And how on earth is Purdy only 5?! Everyone needs a Purdy in their life! 😂

[@conniejones2992]

Hobbit is an absolute beast with the lorry . Love her what a great mommy!!!!

[@syzygyfarm]

KZbin is so glad to have you back! And you're so close to 100k subs--I'm excited for you! Love the concept for this video and the others to come. I really get a ton of motivation to better my riding by watching pro lessons/riding sessions.

[@bqualitysnake6549]

Love her teaching style, firm, attentive, extremely supportive and knows exactly how to work your confidence up. Communicating as clearly as humanly possible and giving a guide on how the horse will feel before you're even on. Gorgeous!

[@ladymare11]

Absolutely brilliant vlog you rode her beautifully looking forward to seeing you ride the line on Dee Dee and Jam 💕💕

[@popsgizbaldock9260]

You did amazing Meg I don’t think you realise how good you are 👏

[@HannahMay44]

Awwhhh your Mum sounds so proud!

[@matildamapleflower]

Perdy is the type of horse that gives the ability to people to ride those big fences and not be scared. Meggy, get yourself one of these horses and you can jump the moon and no longer be scared to go over 1m competitively! You have more than enough riding skill, you are amazing!

[@Tomhollandishot]

You did really well you looked amazing x and the advice that the instructor gave you was brilliant x love you x stay safe x

[@abbebladon]

What a little beauty! Well done Meg! what a compliment to you Meg that Lucinda doesn’t like letting others ride her horses yet she Le you ride 2! She obviously trusts you and sees what a good rider you are. You need more confidence in yourself, you’re fab!!! But.....Remember to keep those pinkies tight 🤘🏼🤟🏼

[@janeminwell4395]

Well done Meg, always daunting to jump an unfamiliar horse. Loved Lucindas advice to concentrate on the canter and not so much on the jump. Also the first thing we do when nervous, is to shorten the reins, and take the leg off! You did great, and Hobbit was amazing as always, she is so proud and supportive of you.💓

[@brookehenwood2263]

Megan! You are an amazing rider! We all have doubts sometimes but your gonna be fine! For a period of time my pony was being very naughty and would pray the jumps would stay small. But then I started riding more and starting from the beginning on the flat! That really helped! And now I beg for the jumps to go up! A great way to think about it is to think you are invincible and nothing can hurt you! If you have such a great chance like this one just say well who knows when or if I’ll have another one so let’s make the best of it and jump the biggest I’ve ever done!

[@daisy_equestrian427]

You ride so well meg! don't doubt yourself

[@janl8683]

You did so well and looked brilliant on Perdy. Aww Hobbit's commentary at the end was so delightful, you could hear the pride in her voice 😍 Cannot wait to see how you get on with Dee Dee and Jam xxx

[@kathrynschaller8875]

I loved hearing Hobbit's pride in her voice on Hobbitcam. But seriously, you did great. It's somewhat comforting to see riders at your level still question themselves and their own confidence.

[@sumik8]

So much fun to see you riding for Lucinda! And what a lovely horse too.

[@terrilewis172]

Such a great instructor so clear!

[@laurenstafford1554]

This video was amazing to watch. The sound and picture quality is insane and i lerned so much from just watching. You look amazing 😍

[@gemmagranger5354]

Well done Meg you rode Percy so well. I love Hobbit’s encouragement in her videos. I’m sure you’ll smash it on your ponies!

[@brequestrian1646]

That was fantastic! Well done you did so amazing, don’t ever doubt yourself

[@horsegirlforlife9199]

I love your channel your horses are sooooo cute and you treat them really well.

[@chloeorritt2919]

Meg you ride BRILLIANTLY! I actually felt sick for you tho it's when you know you're in a new place, new horse and someone so amazing teaching you! It always feels worse than it looks too, you made her look super smart!! Also...did anyone else basically cry at the hobbit cam? She was doing that course with you! "Good girl meg" "yes meg""brilliant meg" we love you hobs!!!! Xxxxx

[@juliedalgardno3361]

So so happy for you ☺️❤️! What a gift to experience all the great training, horses and set up! Amazing to watch! Can't wait for more 🙂!

[@marneymcgovern4285]

Well done Meg!!! She is an amazing horse but you rode wonderfully!!! Have more confidence in yourself😁😁

[@kerry3546]

You did great! I love these lesson videos, just give yourself more credit, you’re a great rider!

[@carolestewart2535]

You rode Perdy really well and looked great on her. Time to move up to horses now. 👍

[@angelastoner3658]

[@ronjen11]

Meg, you are a talented, smart, and very skilled rider. Have more confidence in yourself! You rode that beautifully.

[@louisesmith5506]

I have been watching your Chanel for 2 years

[@kristenwrate8142]

I love the vanilla one y food it’s like drinking cold custard. 😋

[@cherylrobertson8869]

How lucky you are to have such a supportive mum ❤ you rode so well, I loved hearing the advice throughout your lesson😁. Does this mean you'll be upsizing from your adorable ponies?😉

[@kateflanders7611]

Really enjoyed the mic’d up video. Thank you!

[@charlottecanalle2621]

what a lovely 5 year old!

[@crimeghost4099]

U amazing meg. Don’t ever forget that. 🙏🇦🇺🌹

[@livr3315]

You looked amazing! Honestly glad you are talking about loosing confidence tho because it’s something I’ve been trying to deal with for awhile now and not many people like to mention it or admit to it. Makes me really admire you

[@trudiclark7841]

Great work, hobbit is so supportive love her comments 😘

[@MareeHassallsArt]

You rode so well! And that horse is amazing :O really smart looking too

[@sandymayfield6505]

You're rocking it Girl!!

[@charlotte4207]

What a gorgeous horse, fab riding Meg!x

[@emily5678100]

You can definitely ride Meg! Believe! Try to stop yourself if you think you are about to say something negative about yourself, I know it’s hard but I have tried this recently and you’ll be amazed how not hearing the negative stuff from yourself makes a difference 😊😊 you said so many nice things about Perdy but try to say some about yourself too 😘

[@hceventing]

Meg you looked so good! Such an incredible opportunity! I have to say Daph needs a bit of a clean at the front 😂

[@ellenk560]

Aww, you could just see your confidence building throughout the lesson. Perdy is a lovely horse, but you made her look great. I'm hoping this gives you that confidence boost you need. We all know you can do it... You just have to get to a space where YOU know you can do it.

[@glenjeffs6182]

Very nice job meg ,she feels good doesn't she.a little in the confident department, lol

[@kristenbasson3744]

Hearing Lucinda tell you to not drop your shoulders made me stop slouching🤣😂😂

[@katherinestead708]

you were so good! way to go, you're a wonderful rider!

[@amandawalsh7115]

Lucinda is an excellent teacher, so many hints and tips to help you ride better. If only we could all have someone like her at our yards. Well done, wonderful riding.

[@elphick.event.ponies]

She’s incredible isn’t she, my confidence grew so much over the three days!

[@sarcasticdrag0n603]

Very well ridden! You looked incredible on her Meg, she looked like such a lovely mare!

[@kirstenadams8715]

You are such a skilled rider, it makes me sad to hear you doubt yourself so much, but I do the same every single ride so I really do get it. I'm thrilled you are getting this time with this crew I really think it will do your confidence the world of good ❤️ trust yourself and count!!

[@holliexx6713]

you looked amazing on her Meg!

[@rosielowe2890]

Enjoyed every second of this!!! You rode so well, hope you came out of that feeling more confident in yourself as you really should!!

[@riverponys6669]

You road Perdy really well

[@jedsequine1564]

It was also great seeing some of the lines from your mums camera

[@sturdygirl7772]

Wow! Very proud of you, I know that was nervewracking. I hope that helped your confidence. Lucinda says you can ride, you can believe that! 🙂👍🏻👍🏻

[@samanthabate9181]

She is a very beautiful horse love her

[@luciennewallace4959]

Super riding Meg. What a beautifully produced mare and a fabulous team Lucinda and Ellie are…so profesh but so kind and encouraging. And hobbit is the best cheerleader. A fabulous watch 🥇
