PIGGY MARCH PREPS US FOR BADMINTON!

[@livapetermane3652]

Piggy is such an incredible trainer ! She's supportive, positive, kind but also knows what to say to encourage! She's very sweet and a inspiration as are you Meggy

[@GemmaParker-h5r]

Yesssss 100% I agree

[@annedaniel8169]

What a wonderful opportunity. You smashed it. Piggy was so positive and encouraging. Well done.

[@rosiegeller-stevens8928]

More training with Piggy please!!! Her training style really seems to suit you and Jambam 😊🙏 what a fabby round at the end!

[@elphick.event.ponies]

Awh thanks for the lovely comment 😍

[@ericavetsch463]

How lovely that as your confidence grew, Jam's jumps smoothed out, her tummy tightened over the jump, and her shape looked better. Piggy is amazingly positive, and you're riding is far better than you're giving yourself credit for. Jam's backend is strong (pingy) enough to get you out of most difficulties. :)

[@ruthwhalley3133]

So pleased to see you back on Jam, looked liked you’d never stopped. Great horse, great rider!

[@whizzywoo582]

That's just what you needed, real time telling you when you're in the saddle what's happening when you panic so you can feel and know how the get it better :) Each of the wonderful trainers you're lucky enough to have access to has given you a different part of the jigsaw and it's coming together nicely!

[@h4rroww]

hi meg! if u don’t see this, i hope this reaches other people. it is amazing how u have been working back on ur confidence ❤ i have had lots of confidence issues after getting my first horse back in 2021. i have found that just “trusting your horse” has not been that easy and i started losing hope. however, through time, my horse and i have gotten in sync (and fallen back out), always learning new things. breathing exercises helped sometimes, but my nerves got the best of me when she would speed up in the middle of courses. i was scared to ride outside in my outdoor arena when she was fresh, for fear that she would run off. now, i am working on speaking out, telling my trainer whenever i am nervous and working towards showing 2’6-3’0 this year and next year. i think i’ve finally started trusting not only my horse, but myself too. riding anxiety is something i know all too well after falling 2 times almost every lesson when i first got my horse. building my relationship with my horse is something that was difficult when i was scared, but i’m so glad i never gave up, my horse is absolutely mega 🤩 i know some peoples situations are different so let me say this: DONT GIVE UP! and make sure u ALWAYS VOICE UR FEELINGS! sometimes horse and rider partnerships don’t work, AND THATS OK. happy riding! u got this everyone. ❤❤

[@theequestriandreamer2020]

Thank you for posting this comment it really helped. I've been having issues with my mare for months now. We have good days but most days she bolts off and it's had a big impact on my confidence. We were finally getting somewhere until yesterday when she would bolt almost every time we would do a lap around the arena. I'm feeling pretty discouraged, Not sure what to try next tbh.

[@h4rroww]

@@theequestriandreamer2020 YES OFC! i hoped to reach this comment to ppl who are struggling. i have a fresh mare as well, and it’s so hard getting back in the groove or into the “groove” at all. if u haven’t already, see if the issue is extra energy that ur mare does not know where to put. that’s what my mare has and i’ve seen that having a constant schedule of lessons and lunging is good for her to get her energy out. or possibly groundwork. if those things aren’t possible, i’d say trust ur gut and see if there is anything bothering her. i really hope this helped, and please don’t give up trying, even if it’s hard. but please remember that not all horse and rider partnerships work, and that’s okay. the main thing is working through these issues and get both of your confidence’s up and see where u go from there. stay safe and stay positive. you got this. 🤍🤍

[@theequestriandreamer2020]

@shurburt Ty ❤️ we are gonna get the vet to double check for anything that could be causing her pain when she comes for her routine visit. She's always had a ton of energy so I'm thinking it's because of that but I want to be sure. Best of luck with your mare!

[@h4rroww]

@@theequestriandreamer2020 thank u! you too :)

[@janeminwell4395]

What a fantastic lesson from Piggy, and what a pleasure to see you and Jam jumping so well together! Good job Meg. 👏🏻

[@jenniferlehman326]

So proud of you Meg!! And to have lessons from two absolute legends of the sport!! Piggy March AND Lucinda? Wow!! You are one very lucky lady!! Confidence building comes in many forms, talking to a Certified Therapist, taking lessons from people who have been where you are and understand completely how a fall can damage confidence, no matter what level you compete at, helping to rebuild yours is such a selfless act on the part 9f both Piggy and Lucinda. But I'm proud that you took this lesson with Jam and Piggy directing it. I hope she's helped your confidence some. Best Regards from your friend the Retired Paramedic, a S&R Dog and Handler Team Trainer and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn. 💖💖🇨🇦🇬🇧

[@WAMama84]

I love how different Piggy and Lucinda are as teachers but both so excellent. Lucky you!

[@GalaxiiBunnii]

Yaaaayyy! This was brilliant to see 💖 I think it's great that both Piggy and Lucinda have emphasised the importance of the quality of the canter rather than tunnel visioning on the strides. It makes sense to me at least, and it's obviously helping you trust yourself and Jam to be able to easily make the jumps 🤩🥰 It all just looks so much more fluid and effortless too. Well done to both of you. You're a great little team Meg 🥲 I hope you're gradually feeling better in yourself as well now. Keep being kind to yourself and your horses ✨🎉

[@debbieredmon5063]

Just watched H&C Tom Rowland: Jumping Lines. He talks like he and Piggy came from the same place. Quality canter, sitting up straight, if your canter is good, the line will be good. He had an amazing exercise that did allow for some gear changes but again, a great canter makes all the difference.

[@marywieland795]

Piggy is absolutely lovely. I love the way she was able to help you find your confidence, you two killed it!!!

[@maryhunter177]

Now wasn’t that just what the doctor ordered!! I am so grateful you shared this lesson! I was feeling a little queasy in my run up to a little event and you have saved me from my go to fetal position!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! This “Sit in the saddle and be proactive” lesson is just the ticket! So positive and so focused on the quality canter. You rock Meg Elphick! Please keep sharing these fabulous sessions with these generous and thoughtful best riders of the world!💥

[@Kungfusue]

Meg, well done lovely. Piggy, was just what you needed. You and Jam done very well together. You should be very proud of yourselves. You are such a good rider, very inspiring, for riders like me. Bless you x

[@nisashah4819]

Meg your a great rider. You don’t realise how good you look on jam❤

[@libby.4019]

I love how Piggy teaches, welldone meg, you are a fab rider and such an inspiration to me and many others

[@katherinestead708]

that was awesome and the way she explained about doing the flyers and taking the inside lines etc.. so encouraging, well done Meg and Jam!

[@saraaaa1716]

aww meg it's so nice to see you back jumping with Jam!

[@rutherose23]

Great job- loved this video. You could see your confidence growing with each round. Trust Jam she will take care of you - the quality of the canter- rhythmic, forward is key! Will you be teaching her flying changes and working on those during a round vs dropping back to trot? Would love to see Winnie and Ari update.

[@atthestables]

Hi Meg, you and jam are doing so well! Your such an inspiration for me to get in the saddle even if I'm absolutely terrified. Jammy Is a brilliant horse and you are a fantastic rider! Don't give up ❤

[@issybrinesj]

Meg I can’t begin to explain to you how much watching this has helped me. I am going through exactly the same regarding seeing a stride, over riding and pulling too much and then killing the canter and often having to pull him up then I just want to cry as feel I am letting him down. I feel like I’m constantly fighting that battle and seeing how your overcoming it is really helping me. Piggy is just wonderful! So great to see you back with your jam bam 🥹❤️ you got this! Xx

[@victoriaphilippa7745]

Aw Meg I was cheering you on watching! Amazing job, so happy to see you back jumping together and Piggy was incredible! Xxx

[@biggothepiggo]

I really hope you were happy when you watched this footage for the first time because that was some beautiful riding. And your use of your eye was amazing (Lucinda should be very happy about that!). What an honour to have this lesson with legendary superstar Piggy, but also so well deserved. You showed up and aced it!

[@emmabowland2805]

I love the way she worded this. It really simplifies what a lot of people struggle with

[@EmilyRawlinson-hj6wd]

Wow what a wonderful trainer Piggy is! So supportive, warm and just so positive

[@SJSequestrian]

Those rounds looked AMAZING Meg! I love these videos; it's like I'm getting a lesson too and I learn so much. Way to go!

[@dxniella_]

Piggy is awesome, positive and supportive but makes sure you're actually working. You did so well meg, i hope your very proud of yourself, takes a lot of courage to do that ❤❤

[@thepansthisthatandtheother7766]

Glad to see Jam back in action.

[@pixie706]

Totally different to Lucinda and D is a different type of mare to Jam too.....very interesting comparison. Well done Meg your confidence is coming back

[@Emri327]

So happy to see jam back Meg ❤❤

[@elphick.event.ponies]

Great to have her back, let’s hope it lasts 🤞🏼

[@Emri327]

@@elphick.event.ponies I’m sure it will ❤️

[@idajoh09]

Could not agree more, so proud I could "pop"😂❤

[@rutherose23]

Are you still doing therapy on her?

[@annejarvis7002]

Well done Meg - you both looked awesome. Easier said than done, I know, but believe in yourself Meg & trust Jam Bam - you have both got this. You both have the training, experience & skills. Your confidence is showing & growing and your joy of riding is also there. Much love & Happy Easter🤗

[@guy-anneproulx3965]

What a brilliant session. I would love a coach like that. She is encouraging but keeps you on your toes (or rather with your heels down!)

[@margaretmetcalfe9380]

I really like Piggy, she is so optimistic and up beat. I was actually saying, "keep it, keep it" along with her. You improved all the time. Everyone around you believes in you, now you just have to believe in yourself. Well done.

[@vickyreid6982]

Amazing to see Jam back and what a fantastic lesson from Piggy that we all can learn from ❤ xx

[@katiegreen5729]

Amazing Meg, smiling from ear to ear for you and Jam, epic xx

[@annasmart8381]

That was awesome Meg. Those jump rounds were some of the best I have seen from you guys.

[@janl8683]

Wow you and Jam Bam are back! That was delightful to see you listening to Piggy and then making the canter work between you and Jammy. No wonder you were buzzing ❤❤❤

[@mygirlmoodrid3737]

Your such an inspiration Meg, you inspired me to ride! ❤️

[@elphick.event.ponies]

Awh thanks so much! ❤

[@KellyWebb-bz7to]

Me too!

[@elizabethedwards917]

I'm really excited for you. You've taken a bad experience and through working through it, you are becoming an even better rider. All kinds of growth here. This is what makes you great!!

[@vikkineish5790]

Massive well done Meg, you and Jam smashed it 🙌 Piggy is an incredible coach. I love how all of a sudden it click in your Brain (no offence) where you needed to push not pull. Sometimes it just takes a different kind of coach telling you in a different way for it to connect. I’m so pleased that my favourite grey is back ❤

[@PixiesPoniesEvents]

Well done Meg 🙌 and isn't Piggy such a fantastic coach, loved her way of teaching 🥰 amazing lesson you are so lucky. #kickon 🐴👏👏💜

[@victoriacotton9716]

WoW what a great confidence booster... Piggy was a great gift she nails the pure simplicity of breathing, keep trusting and staying neutral .. Collection, bounce, balance and sit up and the Horse has eyes on the Hor eyeS on and rider is the Upright Vertical line .. the Cross we Bear, NRG Focus line.. Brilliant...😊

[@christinedavies336]

Piggy knew exactly what you needed and you and Jam smashed it - well done Meg and Jammy! xx

[@dressage_fever6175]

Piggy is fantastic what an awesome lessons and support you had from her! You can see exactly what piggy was saying and why! Amazing!!

[@ihay472]

Aww just love seeing Jammy again. I probably teared up a little watching your first round. You both did fabulous!

[@greenecrayon]

I'm so proud of you and I believe in you. There's a reason I've become a fan of English riding and it all started with you. You are awesome and Jam is such wonderful pony

[@plove523]

Good to see Jammie back out having fun. She got happier and perkier as you both settled into a good canter. Jammie's got wings! Good riding!

[@totally247]

Fantastic lesson! You looked so much more confident and comfortable as the lesson went on. Best of luck for badminton, you'll ace it!

[@sarahnicolson6641]

Thos was so fantastic to watch! Piggy is amazing (so positive snd encouraging), but it was brilliant to see your confidence grow, Meg. I've been struggling with mine too and feel I have learnt so much from this...thank you Meg, Piggy and Jam ❤🐴💕

[@Whizzywelsh_Eventing]

This was sooo good to see Meg!!! ✨🙌🏻 I totally totally get that feeling of not knowing whether to leg on or hold back. You have absolutely got this she was amazing so good to see jammy back 🚀 xxx

[@livapetermane3652]

Ahhh Meggy I'm so happy for you and Jammy!❤ You're really such an inspiration to me and my own 4 year old 18,1 homebred whom I've been having some problems with recently. Keep it up you're incredible ❤

[@shizam1400]

Fabulous! Piggy was such a great teacher. And your pony is amazing. Well done Meg.

[@eve.xx0]

No one talking about hobbit sitting in the shelter 😂😂 you did so well and piggy is so an amazing trainer. So positive. Just believe in your self you such a good rider and piggy said that which is a huuuuuge compliment from her ❤❤

[@laurarawcliffe951]

Wow! What a transformation! Well done to the both of you. Such huge progress made within this lesson and you should be extremely proud of yourself!

[@Squimbelina]

That third round was 👌🏻 - rode her so positively and she was her perfect neat little self. You’ve got it, Meg.

I could listen to piggy all day! I find her voice to comforting 😂 well done Meg so happy for you! ❤

[@dawntieman9549]

What a wonderful episode. The change from beginning to end was tremendous. Peggy is a marvelous coach!❤❤❤

[@Neenys_nags]

I need a lesson with Piggy. Literally watching this is like watching myself, once I get the wobble it’s So hard to ride on again. I say like watching me, you are considerably better 😂 x

[@stellangios]

Great lesson! And I feel like "Oh god it is fine!" is the panicked realization that things aren't really so dire we all need on a tshirt (with appropriate jumping Jammy graphics)

[@Caz_Hamilton]

Its lovely to see you with Jam again Meg! Youre really inspiring for me, as i'm a REALLY nervous rider, but I want to event. Ive got some XC schooling tomorrow and a hunter trial happy hacker soon. I'm pretty nervous 😅

[@cheekianne1595]

U got this woman! U always had it even when u didn’t believe in yourself x we believe in you

[@pixielale-klasicki3679]

The internal sign when Piggy says circle. we all know meg loves a circle

[@sianbennett-rodgers]

I hope you understand how capable you are how able Jam is. Loss of confidence is a horrible thing and no amount of people telling you that will help if you don't feel it yourself. It's a very real thing, despite the naysayers But you are more than able and you're going to be just fine. Badders on the horizon and Piggy and Lucinda on side. Go for it. I'd have paid money to see Piggy ride her

[@bellaprattandbillythepony7470]

Meg you honestly deserve a round of applause!! Your doing so well as you have had a horrible fall and I know what it feeels like because I have been in that position and it is nasty! But you are doing so so so well ❤

[@heatherradford1994]

What a fabulous vlog Meg. You were brilliant and fought through a few bits but you didn't give up. You and Jam looked amazing and omg what a lovely instructor Piggy was. So calm and tbh she almost made me think I could jump it 🤣. She talked so much sense and she's right when she said you need to believe in yourself and I agree. We all believe in you and are willing you on as everyone on Yr channel knows Yr good enough. As Piggy says just kick on lol. One of my fav vlogs of yrs ❤

[@LindsayWoodward-ud1lv]

What a fantastic lesson! Piggy is a lovely trainer - so encouraging. Learnt a lot!

[@gabyhickey9988]

Your actually my idol and I know you and jam have so much potential it’s easier said then done but I know somone who had a bad fall they learnt to deal with it as there horse could do it but she wasn’t letting go of the memory when she did and had faith in her horse she got straight back on top all you need is faith your such a good team 🧡🧡
