I love hearing how Han tells herself what she needs to be working on whilst she’s riding it, defo gonna be doing this from now on

[@BossOverBoys]

[@BossOverBoys]

Same*

[@anubisblueNK]

i always do this - "weight into the inside stirrup" "outside leg, outside leg" and the main one sit back sit back sit deep.

[@Charlottehs123]

yeah, I love it too, makes me feel better about the fact that I do the same thing except there's usually a lot more swearing when I'm riding 🤦‍♀

[@Hellofrosh]

I always like to tell myself what my trainer tells me

[@stormskies3861]

Please can we see more of Han. She did amazing, I love her soft hands and seat. She’s a lovely rider. I had no idea Dora was so whizzy 😅😂 would love to see Han riding the other ponies too ❤

[@jessicavanrijbroek8283]

This video is sponsored by circles. As a returning rider after seven years off, I can wholeheartedly recommend both the 20m and 15m packages available. The add on of cushioned downwards transitions is extra but well worth the additional outlay.

[@isalsaurusthelemon6512]

it’s nice to hear someone who talks to themselves almost as much as i do when riding 😂

[@annabellerawlinson]

Han's the type of friend we all wish we had, treasure her 🥰

[@nicolejrozema]

Love Han's commentary!! Would love more videos like this, maybe a series of her working up to eventing Dora next year? 🤪 they are an epic pairing!!

[@bethanys-herd]

This would be amazing!

[@lucyreilly9734]

I think Dora is being sold

[@nicolejrozema]

@@lucyreilly9734 that's been megs plan for a long time but she hasn't found the perfect home yet. Might be good for both of them to gain experience, then Dora would be more ready to be a kids pony!

[@lucyreilly9734]

@@nicolejrozema oh I am quite new and I was not aware and that would be a good series of Han riding Dora

[@joanneday7518]

I'd love to see Han riding Dora again and working up to eventing her. It would be awesome if Han was to buy Dora

[@1827Beethoven]

It's so refreshing to have people admit what they are comfortable with, for the longest time when I used to have lessons I felt too awkward to say no to anything or admit when I wasn't happy. And thus got pressured into jumping over 4ft at times by various instructors, usually after telling them I just wanted to focus on dressage! Very rarely would they let me have a dressage lesson without forcing a jump up at the end. Happy riders = happy horses. Love Megs instruction and Hans riding, well done guys (:

[@rubianalace]

Han rides so well a lot better than she gives herself credit for. Dor dor doesn't look easy. Well done Han!!!

[@2btpatch]

The teamwork between Meghan, Han and Dora is amazing. Han did so well, despite her fears. She approached the jumps with courage and determination. I love how Meghan combines instruction, correction, encouragement and positive reinforcement. She’s the kind of riding coach I would have loved. Great video!

[@homesteadlife2235]

Han fits Dora beautifully. They make a lovely pair. Great for Meg to work on her riding instructor skills as well.

[@cazobrien693]

Loved this. Hans smile was infectious. I had a massive smile aswell. Well done Han loved it

[@ds_equine5568]

I feel Dora should be gifted to Han as she’s been such a good friend to you, love how confident Dora makes her feel ❤

[@christinedavies336]

I'm glad that you and Jam's bruises are healing Meg. Meanwhile you are a good coach for Hannah. It would be fun to watch you go out eventing together.

[@mitzi962]

Absolutely loved hearing han talk to Dora. So adorable ❤ you're a very good teacher/motivater too meg. We all need a friend like you when riding

[@jodejones]

HAN🥺🥺 i just love you, the way you’re talking to yourself, positive outcomes come from positive attitudes - I feel like you were pushing positivity throughout. You looked super smart on dors!

[@Thatponycalledblaze]

Fr

[@jnzequestrian]

Han looks so good!! Hopefully we can see more of her jumping in the future! Maybe even see her event one day👀

[@janl8683]

Aww Gan and Dora Bean look so cute together. Brave Han doing the grid and then the spread. Yay!

[@EstherSW]

Han is such a gem, would love to see her more, she rides really well

[@footluceeventing]

Yaaaaas HAN that was so great 🎉🎉 Big respect for your first grid to be on camera 😂💙 Ps Meg you’re a great trainer 👏🏻 PPS Can you train me too thx

[@Pipsyoutube]

Would love to see Han event/jump dora/other ponies more!! Honestly you can see them really improve throughout the session!! Han really looks lovely on her

[@madeleinedavis5937]

Ah man Han totally has to take Dora to a little event. It will be so fun to watch!! They actually make such a perfect pair

[@suzannechance5876]

Good to see everyone up and about! ALWAYS thought Han a great addition to all Elphick ventures! Very nice Blog, let's have some more!

[@kayleigh9739]

Han did wonderful!! So proud of her. It’s so impressive to do something new but SUPER impressive to do something new AND on camera!! She talks just like I do which I loved hearing.

[@maggiecamp5369]

Love ❤️ Han so so much!! She is such a beautiful person inside and out. Keep her close, she is the best friend a girl can have.

[@scunningham7173]

What a great video, Hannah rides really well and lovely to see Dora's confidence in her, (despite her listing her short comings, Dora was telling a different story.) Hope the aches subside soon Meg, and hope Jam has recovered well too.

[@emmabrown7045]

Aw Hannah well done. You and Dora are a good combo. More videos of Han and Dora please. Was so chuffed for her. Just think you could both go out competing together. Loved how Han was talking to herself and loved how calm you were talking her through everything. X

[@xaviorshideout]

Han suits Dora!! I gotta say she looks pretty gorg on Dora I think they both suit each other (coming from a non-equestrian) major respects to all of you!! wishing you a speedy recovery Meg!

[@simplysahm6245]

Iv been waiting for this video for SO long. I really wish Han had her own active channel, or more of a presence here. You two girls work great together, it makes your content awfully nice and smooth :)

[@cityvibegirl]

Han does in deed have her own channel

[@12hetyyy]

7:10 i love how Han talks to herself ❤

[@Grace07xx]

Dora is a credit to you Meg. You have produced her beautifully and to see her and Han go down the grid like that must fill you with so much pride!

[@ihay472]

Love Dora, she's still the cutest! Han is sponsored by 4 laps of the arena 🤣🤣 Good job to both of them!

[@janeminwell4395]

Dora is absolutely the cutest!

[@HankMacGregor1]

I'm so happy for Hanna after all her hard work, top groom and best friend

[@ericafay]

Dora is so cute they look good together!

[@clairewatson3990]

Oh Han u did sooo well, Meg, please keep Dora for Han, then u can both go eventing together one day!! Ha ha!! Look how happy the gorgeous little grey makes her, I couldn't stop smiling with her!! Ha ha!! I love yr friendship, u are like sisters, please can we see more of Han and Dora jumping, she doesn't give herself enough credit, she's a lovely rider!! Xx

[@ellavanderhart6747]

Dora was definitely a keen bean today 😛 Loved seeing Han ride, she and Dora did so well!

[@ladymare11]

Well done Han you and Dora make a great team, she gives you the confidence to try a little more which was amazing to watch 💕💕

[@emilybamford7591]

Go on Hannah! 🤩 Love the difference in your confidence, come so far from the first vlog you were in and even jumping Bear you've come such a huge way be proud of yourself 🥳 and super teaching Meg, and of course awesome jumping Dora bean!! ❤️

[@Mints_Equestrian]

ok but i actually love Han, its so sweet how she talks to herself and Dora bean- HAN YOU RODE SO WELL should be so super proud

[@Mollie_Raby-Brown]

Yess go Han!! You did so well riding Dora ❤

[@sashie1232]

Well done Han, and Dora is a lil pocket rocket, super pony

[@Wooyos_Orbit]

Hans excited giggles make me so happy She completely relies on herself and Dora and is proud of both of them

[@dawnellis6498]

Ahh Hannah rode that so nicely.They suit each other perfectly.Not only do you have a Super Groom but a lovely Stable Jockey too.

[@noramosher1001]

Han & Dora seem to do well together and I always enjoy Hans contributions to your vlogs! I would enjoy seeing more of that partnership!

[@maryhunter177]

Great job you all!! Han needs to know that it is all relative and someone’s 70 is someone else’s 140!! It is a sport that has so many variables and each horse is an individual and different with each rider!! Anyone who gets out there and gives it a go (even if going over poles) is fabulous!!

[@wee.woo.weasel]

Jan rides and jumps Dora so well, she also suits her VERY well!!!!

[@ellcharlotte]

Han is such a fab rider bless her she did so so well!! Can’t wait to see the eventing with her 🫢🤫😉

[@laurajanemurphy4278]

I LOVE Han! Can't wait for her first event! Lovely pair.

[@issy.0922]

Omg hans so amazing!!!! Her and Dora are so cute together ❤️

[@ashleighx4997]

Han is such a gem! doesn’t nearly give herself enough credit. Love her 💗

[@Hansequine]

I love han and Dora together!❤

[@christinedavies336]

Well done Hannah! You and Dora suit one another - she behaved beautifully for you too.

[@seanhiggins2398]

We all need a bestie like Han 💗 she’s just a sweetie! Please can we have more of Han and Dora! I can totally relate to her riding ability!xxx

[@AS-zz2ke]

I didn't expect it but I think Dora is a really good horse to learn on! She isn't easy but not lazy or anything like that. Like she got really keen in the video, she really wants to go over the jumps but if the rider doesn't support her correctly she will make small mistakes (but no big accidents either). So the rider can really review their riding through what Dora is doing, absolutely lovely!

[@jeniferrinehart1107]

Han….”sit up, plug your bum in, inside leg, outside rein….” Oh bless!! 😂😂😂. Brave girl - well done!! ❤❤❤

[@joanneday7518]

Han and Dora look amazing together. I'd love to see them grow and develop together. They improved so much thru out the session.

[@liliawilson2412]

What a gorgeous little pair ❤

[@vikkineish5790]

I think Han did amazingly. I love watching other people ride your ponies it just shows how easy you make it look. When you jump her she doesn’t look like she pulls you into the jump or is overly strong. I remember Tina when she jumped Dee and when your poor mum jumped her too!!

[@my3poniesss]

Loved this ! Han and Dora make a perfect match!

[@Bombshell.350]

Hannah is not just a friend to you Meg, she’s your best friend she the one run over too you after that fall!!! ❤ she did super good on the pony! I always have big respect to you girls all the way!! You both super cool! And I love watching your videos! Have a nice evening both!!! 😊

[@emilywhitehead5336]

“I can’t do this so you’ve got to do this on your own but take me with you” 😂 Han you made my day. Brilliant job you look fab

[@lisakovic5256]

Dora has balls but so does Han!!! Woowoo!!! Go girls!!! How good are they together 😍

[@lyndachabane1931]

Brilliant.... Dora obviously loves her jumping which in turn helps her rider, so well done, position was great too Han. Nice soft hands too. 👏👏 I have a TB, 11 yrs together now, but I have lost all my confidence to jump, though he loves it, always very eager when he sees them up in the school. Even though I'm 73 now, still fit and riding out 3/4 times a week, but I am determined I WILL jump him again after watching this, so thanks 😂

[@FarrenDowning]

Would love Meg as a trainer and it's lovely to see Han's development as a rider 💕

[@katherinestead708]

way to go Han, that was awesome!! you're so good about repeating to yourself what needs to be done. yahoo, well done!!

[@aislingodonovan948]

i just love Han so much and the way she talked to dora is so cute

[@suedunn7531]

Them 2 look like they r made for each other han should deff have a chat with meg about maybe a loan of Dora hope to see more of themn2 soon and really hope han does a few events with the little gray beauty 💗

[@stellangios]

Well done, Han!!! That was epic, and the recap of the canter transition was so relatable (and perfectly hilarious.) Dora and Han seems like a match made, I hope they seriously do go eventing, would watch 👍

[@katylake7806]

omg han did amazing! i had no idea she didn't really jump and loved seeing her push herself!!!

[@cali_girl779]

Absolutely MEGA Han!!! You are a super groom helping Meg keep the ponies fitness up. I hope you are still buzzing from that ride! You and Dora Bean are Epic!! Big love to all! Meg, Hobbit, Han & Pete.

[@oscillatewildly666]

i loved hearing hannah talk (it's so refreshing, it really helps with calming yourself and your horse down and i love seeing it) and meg being so supportive!

[@janegoldstein8110]

I am so sorry that the fall you had has left you sore Meg, but I have to say Han did a wonderful job with Dora, she looked like she was going a little fast a couple of times, but Dora jumped beautifully, what a talented little girl she is. Han is a lovely rider, just like you are Meg I’m so glad for you that she was able to come and help you until you are all better. Take Care, Jane 👍😎🐎🐴🧑🏻‍🦰

[@michellebainbridge1823]

Well done Han, love how Hannah was chatting to Dora and asking her to take her over the jumps 😊

[@rosieormandy1327]

I LOVE this so so much, Han is amazing! Her and Dora look such a team!!

[@joanneday7518]

Han the Day family love you and the way you ride. Meg we need to see Han on the Chan more often.

[@LollipopTheBear]

I was smiling along with Han. It would be great to see more of these two together. And love how encouraging you are with Han xx

[@dardenyerkes5757]

Great job Han and Dora Bean. Meg, are a great friend to get Han to push her boundaries.

[@Katy.Lou.K]

Han!! You smashed it girl!!! So proud of you and Dora !!! Love from California⛰🌲☀️💙

[@chalc8882]

Han did so well! Thanks for letting us join in x

[@andreawallace7724]

Congrats to both of you! Han for conquering firsts, and Meg for producing Dora so well. Dora is so honest, and will make some one a wonderful pony when the time is right.

[@VIPEqTHud]

Dear Meg, please let Han and Dora Bean be team mates. They are the perfect match. You could do a novice rider novice horse series from start to 80T . Meg get your sponsors involved . Could do a series right from choosing a pony, to kit, to training on an off horse, to how to register with BE, and what to do on the day, how to use a stopwatch etc. would be fab

[@lydiafredd6131]

I just started riding a few months ago and my best friend has been so supportive and helpful, you two remind me of us. I love how positive you are with her, you truly are making her and her horse feel so much more comfortable. The horse community needs more people like you ❤️

[@LHeventing]

Dora is my dream horse. She is definitely my fav out of all of your ponies! ❤ I love how she moves! Have a great day Meg

[@dxniella_]

Han does the same thing as me, she talks to herself lol. now i feel less crazy, love ya han ❤

[@bandmastertales338]

I need friends like you to cheer me on! Well done Han!

[@amber4614]

This was so fun to watch. The two of them together are just so great to watch. I also love seeing her improvement as you coach her. Very helpful for the rest of us!

[@sylvietremblay4251]

This is so cute! Definitely gonna need more Han and Dora content!

[@hannahgreen8999]

As a super nervous jumper myself I really enjoyed watching this, Han did great!

[@tessapurcell8250]

Han is such a sweetheart, good for her

[@davemelrose5848]

Han done amazing her and Dora are a great partnership they should definitely do more together for sure

[@christinemartindale8715]

Well done Han and Dora you did really well this was fun let’s have more. Loved Hans own commentary too your a natural and very funny girl. Tfs Meg glad your feeling ok too.😎🏇😎

[@RhiandPug]

Loved seeing Han ride Dora - it looks like it will be great for Han to ride her and gain experience and also great for Dora to get used to adapting to different riders! X

[@margaretmetcalfe9380]

Wow Han did so well, and I love Dora she is so pretty. Love how Han talked to Dora all the way round. Always enjoy your videos and glad you are ok after Bicton.

[@janerodgers4830]

Well done, Hanny..... you rode beautifully and you really look great on Dora ❤️👏👏👏 xx

[@amynaylor1462]

Oh Han! You’re just the sweetest person, we all need to be a bit more Han!💜 love this vlog Meg!

[@marvelmaressso]

Can't wait! Hope you and Jam both recover soon xx

[@melaniejaynejones6436]

Meg your such a great instructor, encouraging Hannah 😁 Hannah and Dora worked well together and loved listening to Hannah tell herself what to so whilst she was riding 😊 Great job Girlie's ♥️ Yes certainly KEEP Dora 😍

[@mgadkins1659]

Han did a great job. Go Dora. Very well trained Meg.

[@rebeccaatkinson6411]

Yay Hann !!! So proud of you ! I’m a scaredy cat and just returning to jumping after 32 years !!! So it gave me confidence to give it a go !! Well done Dora too

[@keiraandshadow]

I love Han just talking to herself telling herself what to do😂 now I can feel better knowing it’s not just me😅

[@meredithingram9384]

Hannah that was a lot of firsts! Good on you for conquering your fears and enjoying yourself! Meg you are a great friend to give this opportunity to Han. And it’s really great for a young horse to be ridden by different people, especially ones who ride as well as Hannah.
