One of my *MOST SPECIAL* days eventing!

Hello everyone, and welcome to a very special video today! This day is incredibly important as I take our homebred horse, Winnie, to her second 80cm event. For those of you who might not be familiar, I've been bringing Winnie along from the very beginning, and it's been an amazing journey to see her progress. We head to Ascott Under Wychwood, a beautiful and hilly course in the heart of the Oxfordshire countryside, for another Cotswold Cup event.
What's extra special about today is that despite it being only her second 80cm course, everything seems to fall into place perfectly. We managed to have the best performance in every phase, finishing the day on our dressage score and securing the win! This win is particularly sentimental for me as it's my first ever eventing victory on a homebred horse, making it a milestone moment in our journey together.
I hope you enjoy watching this special day unfold, and follow along for the rest of the journey!

The white hair elastic is the new sign of good luck 😂

Ok! Just a couple of things! I'm SO in love with Winnie! Have been for ages! You can just see he special in her since she was a baby! But also Meg, you've just produced her SO beautifully! She has given you the base of good genes and athleticism but you've taught her how to use those attributes and you should be so, so proud! Third, if you see this and have read thus far, can you tell me what that show shirt is??? I love it so much! ❤❤ Well done Megs and Winnie! You are going to be smashing the world soon! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@eventingmav]

it’s a Maya delorez show shirt x

[@trabash505]

@@eventingmav Thank you SO much! ♥️

[@trunte4276]

i'm actually just in the comments to see if Hobbes commented

[@VeraRynx]

Winnie seems to really start enjoying her job, ears forward and everything, ready for those pops!

[@zaktheadventuredog4024]

Well done Winnie and Meg! in 5 years Winnie will be like her mum Jam, galloping around Badminton! Winnie has so much scope! Cracking little eventer! xxxxx

[@beccagriffin4697]

I bet it'll be within 2 years Winnie will be going around Badminton!

[@zaktheadventuredog4024]

[@lifewithapaint]

Well done Meg and Winnie! Has anyone found Hobs in the comments yet?! 😂

[@MichelleStewart-Vince]

Well done Meg! Winnie is a gem and reflects all your love, patience and hard work. It's great to see you achieving the results you deserve with your homebred baby. She's a credit to you.

[@UndercoverDog-j5t]

Firstly, I must commend the exceptional quality of your video. The dedication and hard work you’ve invested in Winnie are truly paying off; she not only looks splendid but also performs admirably. I spent the majority of the day engrossed in the Olympic cross-country events, where my beautiful goddaughter was competing. I am profoundly proud of her achievements. Much like you, she has devoted considerable effort to reach this stage. It’s worth noting that her first eventer was a grey 15hh Connemara pony, quite reminiscent of Jammy. I wanted to extend my heartfelt congratulations on your impressive accomplishment with Winnie-you are indeed a gifted horsewoman.

[@camillacoates6200]

This is so cool! A wonderful Olympic connection.

[@Track2HackStandardbreds]

Ok but can I be the first one to say how FLATTERING that Maya Delorez shirt is?? 👀🤩 Winnie’s going amazingly, can’t believe this is the same little pony from January! She’s got a real “horsey” look about her now, she’s growing into herself and maturing into a fabulous little eventer! 🤗💕

[@HatsEq]

I’m 13 mins through the vid and can already tell that Winnie is gonna smash showjumping and cross country!

[@magicaltrails]

And I love Pete's Eats! For a while there it seemed to be falling to the wayside. Love seeing it! I'm sure Pete wishes it had never started, but we love it, Pete!

[@brookemarie5285]

Mostly silent follower! But CONGRATS Meg!!! Winnie did so great and (while still apprehensive) she was much more willing to go into the water!! She is becoming such a great little event horse!! I aspire to be like you and have my own little event horse one day!!! Much love!!!❤❤❤

[@ruthprior665]

Winnie is such a talented pony, even though she's still green in places and also a baby. But, right from the video of you loose jumping her I knew she was destined to be a cracking little eventing pony... Well done to you Meg and of course Winnie on a fantastic score of 26.5 double clear. And as you and Han have said before, the more new venues she experiences, the better and more understanding of her job she's becoming and the improvements are testament to this. I have loved watching your journey with Winnie so far and I can't wait for more of your journey together, her training and competitions, the works. Well done again Team Elphick!!! 😊❤

[@gailomahony2101]

Yeayyyy Winnie!!! She seems to have got so much more confident here!! What a great baby!!!! Could see her potential when you first started loose jumping her and figured she’s a good one!!! Just like her mammy!!! 😃😃😃😃 🎉

[@massch1309]

What an awesome team you make 🥳❤️ great job Meg!

[@debbieredmon5063]

Wow! What a difference! That was a gorgeous test! I’m sure you are right as Winnie gets stronger it will become even better but that was awesome! Show jumping - she is so brave and cross country? French kiss!! Congratulations to both Winnie, Meg, Han the bestest groom and Pete photographer extraordinaire!!

[@Eira-gv8zh]

Well done Meg and Winnie! All 3 phases have defo improved!!! She is one to watch for the future! Good luck with Jam❤️

[@anubisblueNK]

So many congratulations, Meg and Winnie. You made it look effortless. She looks so happy competing with you. A fantastic result which your hard work deserves.

[@janeraymond5214]

I called it! After about the 3rd "8" during the test, I said "26.5".😁 Good girl, Winnie! 💗🏆🍎 Congrats TeamMeg! 💗🏆💐

[@elizabethhuffstutler2817]

I truly can't believe how much Winnie has improved in just a couple of events 😊. She is going be mega 🎉🎉 Well done Meg and Winnie

[@cm539]

Loved this vlog! Winnie really is her mother's daughter. She is going to be a little super star!

[@janl8683]

Wow! Winnie is the best. Congratulations to you both on the win 🎉🎉🎉❤ Loved the vlog, you Pete and Han are just so funny 😁 ❤

[@bethany6148]

Must be such an amazing feeling winning on a homebred!

[@leannejohnson8845]

How very bloody brilliant! Fantastic job. Winnie is such an honest sweet girl, you can see that she just wants to please you. Weldone! Here’s to many many more great days out. ❤❤ Old Horsey Girl Tip for Bum Patterns: Smaller brush with stiffer bristles. My personal fave trio of patterns to shape bums - chequer board 2,1,2 up high, 3 shark teeth on mid thigh and the moon on the back. I loved the plaiting and turning out of horses on competition day. Had to give up riding due to a spinal injury. But i would really love to prepare a horse for show day, just one more time. ❤

[@devonpovey1376]

I feel like this video is a turning point for win ! It’s like it’s all finally clicked ! I can feel such amazing progress is going to be happening now I’m so excited for you !!!!

[@christinemartindale8715]

Winnie is a super little jumper Meg she’ll be a one to watch in years to come plus she’s a very good girl in general well ridden Meg.tfs🤗🏇🤗

[@4_ponies_and_pixie]

Whoopeeee 🎉🎉 mega Winnie 👏👏👏 little superstar 🐎⭐ congratulations team. 💜

[@caroleyahoo1965]

Meg when you ride with confidence you can see the difference in whichever horse you are riding. I LOVE to see you ride with such confidence and assurance, you can see it in the horse! ALL of them, you produce such beautiful eventers and I am in absolute LOVE with Winnie's tail! ❤

[@dimplechops88]

She gives the fences so much air. Takes after her mum

[@elisasmith6989]

Winnie has gotten much better with her hind end on the landing from a fence. She is defiantly getting stronger! Didn't se one time with this event when she landed with both hind legs at the same time. Congrats on your dressage score and your 1st place.

[@kudapooda9993]

Hi meg ,Lucy sead you and Han are GOING to simon's ,for a training session. Hopefully you all have a good time, I'm shore you will work herd ,as Simon putts you all throw your paces .Take care and all the best. 😊😊👍👍👍

[@izziekathryn]

Winnie is mega. She's easily going to follow in Jammy's footsteps. You've done such a fantastic job with her (and all your horses). What a well earnt result, congratulations!👏👏

[@magicaltrails]

What a total champ she is! Definitely starting to channel Jam now. Her dressage was just lovely! With a little more strength and fitness, she will be killing it! CONGRATS to you both!

[@kudapooda9993]

Wow that's such a great mark for dressage meg , IT just shows you are doing all the right thing's. When trianing,AND going out clear round jumping .

According to google, sparkling water hydrates you just as quickly as still water does 🤣Anyways well done Meg, great day!!!

Yes, she could lose a little bit. Lovely countryside! Well done, that was a good run.

From a long time viewer......just excellent to see this! Winnie is so honest and brave and your riding has improved so much. Be proud!!

[@margauxnodvin7478]

CONGRATULATIONS!!! You must be such a proud mom, winning your event on your home bred! You clearly made the right choice on the sire for Jammy’s baby (she’s not really a baby anymore, though, is she?) Great vlog!!!

[@kristiwetsel9531]

Winnie has improved steadily leaps and bounds its amazing to watch her from a foal up untill now and you guys are doing amazing 26.5!!! ❤ keep it up team!

[@carolthorson7854]

Winnie is looking more mature, traveling better and consistent. Looking more and more like Jam. I find jumps can look hard or easy depending on the horse I'm on. A simple 60cm jump can look massive or scary on a baby.

[@janeminwell4395]

Late watching this, been engrossed in the Olympics, like watching our Eventing team win gold! 👏🏻👏🏻🇬🇧. It was so worth the wait Meg, what a lovely performance from both of you! Winnie looked so grown up in all phases, such a good girl, and thought you rode her beautifully. The win was the icing on the cake, well done.

[@christinedavies336]

❤ YAY! Winnie's first win! 🎉 xOx

[@faiththatcher203]

I'm loving Winnie at the moment 😍. She's a credit to you meg xx

[@barborasvandova7899]

Winnie looks like such a pony! O_O I'm very much newbie in watching eventing, but it would make sense that athletic looking horses would have advantage - speed, endurance, agility, against small stockier horses. But Winnie did so well and she run like a bullet in the cross country! Congratulations to the win!

[@marydewar5675]

Well done Winnie.

[@danielabackstrom]

Winnie's canter has really improved 😍

[@jenniferhaas3874]

The grey tail is so flashy! I wonder if people assume you bleached her tail. A strong positive ride today to showcase your super partnership. Congratulations 🎉

[@maryhluch659]

I can’t believe all the food trucks at your shows. There usually is only one food truck at our shows, or none at all. I’m in the USA. I love, love Hannah.

[@camillacoates6200]

White forelock band FOREVER! Also Pete's soft launch as a groom.... foreshadowing? 🙊

[@zodiaczigzag1853]

Well-done Meg and Winnie on the first place :)

[@WAMama84]

OK I am saying it, Winnie is my very favorite of your ponies!

[@boofree1003]

I really want to do some low level eventing with my cob I mean Im sure it would astound everyone with me riding a piebald cob instead of a bay or grey, but she is really starting to enjoy jumping and she is only 6 I’ve had her for 2 years recently we have been competing in dressage and came 2nd out of 21 horses that are much older than me and her in one of our shows and there were horses there doing elementary and I was doing intro and prelim

[@marilynbardell8481]

Great video Meg. Well done! Winnie is really coming along. Well done.

[@evelynjellema9827]

Loving all the banter but especially impressed with Pete’s sharks teeth!! I’m on a mission to learn how to do them well too and it’s not as easy as you think it should be! Huge kudos to him! Well ridden and a lovely vlog 🎉

[@sueguyan8101]

I just love Winny ❤❤❤❤❤

Winnies getting so good hopefully in a few years she can fill her moms footsteps

[@lisawatson7696]

Congratulations on the win. Winnie looked amazing ❤

[@melissayost4888]

I agree. The white band is now a must like me never wearing matching socks. Every athlete has a superstitious quirk.

[@georginaspencer6534]

I love your vlogs, especially eventing vlogs, but I’m going to start playing a game, how many minutes in until Meg says, ‘we’re running a bit late’ 😂😂 makes me laugh every time. ❤

Fantastic result well done ....however super impressed with Petes grooming tutorial......😊🎉

Congratulations Meg 🎉 Winnie has really come on, wow. It’s a testament to you in how you produce your youngsters & their welfare comes first. I love your stirrup length while jumping as I always want to put your stirrups down one or two 🤣 Lovely that it was a beautiful day too makes it even more enjoyable. Can you bring if that sunshine up to Scotland please.

[@sophie.makeup_9521]

Omggg!! Well done you both deserve this!! I’m so happy for you and Winnie! She’s going to do big things 🫶🏼🫶🏼

Tonic water with Quinine which tastes vile imo but that is supposed to hydrate....slimline has low cals.....the internet seems to think sparkling and still hydrate the same

[@victorpatiu8491]

very finest horse cross- country qualifying round🤣🤣🤣.

[@nora.turner2573]

You can definitely see the difference with the water! The best and most confident I have seen her go into the water at a competition. Can’t wait to see her compete like her mummy 💞

Congratulations!!!

Meg! How are you supposed to be my lunchtime entertainment when you’re making me get tears in my food!!

[@helenlamb6560]

Congrats Meg. Great result. On the topic of water. Soda water is as hydrating as regular water apparently and.......the difference between soda and sparkling is....(from google)....Both soda water and sparkling water are made by infusing still spring water with carbon dioxide under pressure, creating the fizz. However, soda water is further infused with bicarbonate of soda to help the drink hold its bubbles when spirits are added. This means soda is slightly fizzier than sparkling.

[@HorseobsessedBb-lr1si]

Well done meg!♥

[@freyagriffiths2638]

So exited ❤
