dan is so so funny, and the way he admits he’s feeling stressed is so refreshing and real.

[@emmieh828]

Despite his sass, 😜, Dan seems like such a kind and encouraging rider! No wonder his horses do so well!

[@elphick.event.ponies]

He is epic, I also love his style of teach! Very encouraging but also no nonsense!

[@ZenaZee]

I loved this so much! What an amazing teacher Dan is and you did so well. Being 5ft 1 I have always ridden ponies and so enjoyed watching you adapt to riding that beautiful horse ❤ Thank you for such a great vid! Brilliant ❤

Wow, I adore Dan. I could actually see him instilling confidence in the two horses he rode. Such a wonderful presence. And he didn’t let you back off when you wanted to

[@stellap.680]

Dan is so encouraging, I love when he said “I wouldn’t send you around this course if I didn’t trust the horse” you have to trust yourself Meg! You are such a great rider and you just gotta believe in yourself

[@chalc8882]

It would be so interesting to revisit Dan and hop back on this boy after you've ridden a few different horses over vlogmas to see how much your confidence has grown. And because Dan is so entertaining

[@AnnikaL]

This hit me right in the feels ❤️ As someone who have the same issues as you I could practically feel your anxiety through the screen. I think you are super brave to do this, and I also think this was very good for your recovery after the fall.

You're such a lovely rider, with a lovely hand and leg that adapts so nicely to the horses you ride. Getting astride these big babies is SO good for you, it will help your scope and your eye for the future and give you more range in your riding which is such a good thing! I'm so proud of you Meg, even out of your comfort zone even so nervous and anxious you kept on and were just brilliant! Those flying changes came for you better and better, you were even getting them over the fences. Great job and I'm so looking forward to seeing you on more of these big ponies!

[@elphick.event.ponies]

Such a lovely comment, thank you so much. I have really felt an improvement in my riding and confidence since filming this series to be honest, very lucky to do what I do!

[@rmfan2092]

You have no idea how relatable this video is for anyone climbing on a new horse! It is an incredibly humbling experience and you did fantastic! Dan was so reassuring and put you on such a solid citizen. I won't lie, I cracked up laughing when you really backed out of the double and he was like, NOPE and dragged the ground line over. Brilliant! All the props for jumping around what is actually a quite sizable course on a new horse! Thanks so much for sharing!

Pretty Boy is such a wonderful horse. Such calm, steady confidence, and athleticism. I imagine he is invaluable for bringing young riders to a new level of skill.

I guess it is Joy, not Pretty Boy! But he is Pretty for sure.

I don't know if it's just me but you really really suited Joy! I know you're not used to the larger horses but honestly you look made for them!

[@Squimbelina]

Agree - she looked really good! Maybe she should look into an ISH next time after all! She did mention a while ago thinking about a horse rather than a pony (I know both DD and Jam are over 15hh, but they're still Connies).

Thank you!! This series certainly pushed me out of my comfort zone! So much information from Dan wasn't there, I learnt loads editing it ❤

[@anniecampbell8554]

What came across to me, Meg, was breathe deeply and trust the horse to do his/her job. We’re so used to thinking we are in a position of having to manage things we forget that the horse wants to work with us and do what we want. And we get in their way because we forget to be ourselves like they are themselves.

[@keirx01]

He seems to have a lovely way of teaching! You’re incredible at adjusting to completely different horses in such a short time meg, so refreshing to see you admit your nervous at times especially riding a different horse you’re not used to x

[@---td5fg]

One thing an instructor told me, its your job to get the correct canter, its the horse job to get over the fence. Dont worry about striding as long as the canter is there the horse can help you. My boss is french so this guy is very familiar to me lol

[@elphick.event.ponies]

Very good advice, so hard to put into practice though isn’t it!!

Well done Meg! It’s another level of getting out of your comfort zone, feel like riding big horses helps you lots developing like a rider yourself!

Looking forward to the other videos, it's definitely a super cool and interesting idea for vlogmas!

I have just found your channel. It is refreshing that you are ‘normal’ and show trepidation about riding different horses that you don’t know. You are normal in the way you act too…not false with makeup and pouting at the camera. I really enjoyed this video Dan is so funny and such a good trainer too. He installs confidence.

It’s so nice to see equine influencers being real, confidence is such an important this in riding and at the moment i have basically none to the point where I’m struggling to canter. The horse I ride is 18hh and because of the weather we are in the indoor which he doesn’t like so he plays up/naps towards the middle near his friends and my confidence is shattered because of it. 🤞 spring comes soon so we can get back to the outdoor. You did amazing and joy seems like such a sweet horse ❤️x

Meg, I think this is the size Ettie is going to be. If not this tall, then very close. So proud of you not giving up!! I'm so glad that Dan pushed you to do the whole course once again, it gave you so much confidence and showed you that you CAN jump fences that you think are too tall. Ettie is already a tall filly, and she isn't even weaned yet!! She's only going to get taller and fill out on you. She is NOT going to be Pony sized by any stretch of the imagination. Listen to what Dan and Lucinda keep telling you. You CAN DO IT!!! Believe in yourself Meg! I believe in you, so many of us believe in you. Your confidence will only grow from this experience.

[@rubysinclair1509]

I have found that self-regulation is so important when riding, even when i've been really nervous on a horse, to the best of my ability, I try and exude confidence so the horse feels secure and comfortable, even when i'm not. Putting the horse first and faking it till you make it (Without overdoing something past your ability) is so important and always makes for a better ride!!

[@aidanham]

Awesome! Well done riding such a big horse and going around a 1.10m course aswell! Whoop, whoop! Super proud! This vlogmas is going to be so exciting! I'm living for it already.

This series is going to be a real treat!

[@Theagingequestrian5335]

I hope that when you rewatched this you saw how well you did. You rode a giant-strided horse so well even though it was two hands outside of your comfort zone! It’s funny how it feels so different from how it looks. I went through this exact kind of fear recovery, and I was paired up with a wonderful mare who was so forgiving. I would fall to pieces mentally if we chipped in a line, thinking that I had screwed it all up, or worse, ruined it for the horse. My trainer did the same thing Dan did: put poles out, lowered the fence and let me come around to doing it. My heart was still pounding, I could hear the blood rushing in my ears, but eventually I could breathe and connect with the mare to let the fences come to us. Thanks so much for taking us on this ride with you!

[@Paige0557]

Meg have you thought about seeing a sports psychologist. I think it would be very beneficial for you as you are a very talented rider but The lack of confidence you have on yourself stops you from getting to those jumps. You are more than capable and it’s so frustrating to see you holding yourself back. Just remember you are totally capable, And you can go a lot further with that confidence in yourself because you are totally one of those riders that can get there. I wish that you could see what we see and you’re totally awesome you can do it.

[@blackshards3415]

I've ridden a great jumping horse in the past. A gelding, similar to the first horse in the video but almost completely white. He never refused a jump, but he was also very impatient about cantering. If you asked him to canter he was like "OMG yeeees, let's do it!" And if he was asked to jump the first obstacle he started enjoying it really much. But he was very very easy at the jumps. No speeding, no bucking, just a very clean jump. I love him! And he has deserved his retirement. What a great teacher he was! I've already been experienced with jumping but he teached me so much more, because he did all the work and i could focus fully on my own body.
