WILMA'S SECOND VIEWING! (Unseen footage)

[@annabellecrosby3302]

Let’s all b honest, we all knew she was the one❤

[@Wisteriaaocs]

Yes! They just clicked❤

[@zoedouglas9364]

Yh definitely!Xx❤😊

[@izziekathryn]

100%

[@Squimbelina]

Yep! I think about 90% of us were instantly on the Wilma train!

[@marijebok]

I knew for 100% the smile Meg had on her face while riding her❤

[@feichannel]

Wilma seems like a star! 💚 ✨

[@WildAtlanticRider]

Spruce Lodge is a fantastic facility, and amazing you had the opportunity to get a second viewing there to get a proper feel for her! Best of luck! 🇮🇪🍀

[@jenniferlehman326]

You really picked a winner, Meg, when you chose Wilma. I'm so chuffed for you!! I really am!! You are both going to learn so much together!! Just remember to keep watching last year's Vlog-Mas, and using ALL the tools you were taught by all the amazing people you saw and rode their horses. You gained a ton of knowledge there, Meg!! Don't forget to USE IT to your advantage!! Love from your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer, who is on a break from playing with the 5 foals born that are now in my care with their mums, in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦

[@aislinghaines1248]

The place u had the second viewing is called Spruce Lodge and it’s in Co. Wicklow ❤

[@biggothepiggo]

You chose so well, Meg; she's beautiful on the inside and the outside, with added heart and athleticism. Her gorgeous little face staring into the camera in the stable... what an angel. I just love her.

[@RidingwithRiley]

Wilma is so pretty and she looks so good jumping!

[@marybannister4629]

I was sold at the first viewing. But this is just awesome 😎. Wilma - we love you already ❤. Well done Meg. So exciting 🎉

[@sheblyne]

It was your face Meg when you rode her. Your smile was ear to ear and you seemed so confident on her. Ding,ding,ding!

[@anniecampbell8554]

I wish I was in the market for a horse (but I live in NYC) as Ardeo seem like such an amazing entity to work with. Wilma is gorgeous in her own right but it’s so lovely to hear about the horse-centric approach from the barn that produced her.

[@zoejohnson2560]

Hi Meg :)) I think in a year or so you should do a sweet little voice over video of you comparing your first rides one Wilma to the current eventing/training videos. I’m sure it could be quite uplifting for you to see your progress side by side as she is certainly a testament to your riding/training capabilities xx

[@victoriaphilippa7745]

Aw Meg! The Ireland series was blooming brilliant!! Your channel is just good vibes central- love it!!

[@thinkingriding]

She is lovely, in every way. Well done finding her.

[@jan6634]

Wilma is perfect for you. Such a lovely mare. Many people would give their eye teeth for one like her, including me. Classy but with a sensible brain. Best of luck with her. You choose very well.

[@faiththatcher203]

I was really praying it was Wilma you looked amazing together instantly ❤️ xx

[@apricotfox]

we were all SO pleased that you got her. She's an absolute dream...beautiful to look at and as honest as the day is long.

[@beccalu04]

She suits you to an absolute tee, you’re going to make such a perfect team and I’m so excited for you 💕

[@sarahcooper3378]

Great to see you riding her for longer and asking more questions. You chose well! ❤ That horse transport is pretty amazing! Seeing all the horses looking out as they arrived at your house. You can see a big difference in Wilma in just the short time you have had her. ❤

[@ElysiaFields19]

Wilma has so much heart and desire to please. I truly love watching her e connection with you unfolding like petals of a flower. I cannot wait to see this lovely mare in full bloom💖

[@flyingcolorsponies]

Getting a new horse is so exciting! And it's that much better when the seller is awesome too.

[@georgiemuldoon]

Aww yay I'm so glad you're sharing this with us! As soon as I saw her I knew she was the one :) Cannot wait for your future together. ❤

[@issybrinesj]

Fell in love as soon as I saw her. What a find Meggy. You two are going to have such an exciting future and can’t wait to support you all the way. Love you xxxx ❤

[@aliceanimals]

Love love love Wilma! Super glad you chose her❤️

[@taylorjanejennings]

Great to see this 2nd viewing knowing she was the one🤩 I understand about being pressured to leave a deposit, when I was looking for my horse I stupidly left a deposit on a broken horse on the basis I could exchange🤯, I felt sorry for the horse but going away and thinking about it made me realise this wasn’t right, I lost my deposit but had such a different more positive experience with the horse I ended up buying, trust your gut🙌

[@katrinajoyce6658]

Wilma is a beautiful young mare and seems very honest, so I can only imagine what she’ll be like in even a short time, your going to make a great team ❤️🙏🫶🏻👍🏼👏🏼❤️

[@bernster123]

What a super super horse. And a great 2nd viewing, kudos to Ardeo for not being over pushy or rushing it.

[@gabriellalyte606]

She is such a wonderful girl. You both look and seem so in tune and gelled together so lovely! ❤ good luck for 2024! ♡

[@101egirl]

i think she has brought the spark back, what a great pair you two will become!

[@vogelvrouw]

I knew she was the one when you said she gave you confidence, thats the feeling you want when riding and i feel like thats especially what you need in a horse after the rough 2022 you had

[@jessicaruhl7314]

Wilma was always the one!! Meant to be ❤️

[@ConnieLord-ws4es]

❤️ Wilma

[@debbieredmon5063]

I can’t wait for Mega slow but powerful training program. Trot poles trot poles, abs. The Connie heart and the TB athletic ability. (Connie’s are athletic too) but that TB elegance shows through and she is sensible and kind so eager to be your next Event pony! Don’t worry Jam, you will always be number one.

[@Quiltedcobra_529]

You picked an actual gem!! And Ardeo seems like they are sooo good at what they do, lowkey wish I was closer to Ireland I want one from them, but I’m in the USA😅😂

[@BloomingEventer]

No wayyyy I can’t wait to find a horse like that she is going to be the cutest eventing pony

[@Eventing_eq]

This is actually perfect timing because I just bought an event horse and I have to ship them 12 hours and he is arriving tomorrow 😂

[@sdr_animals]

Aaahh what a lovely vlog. She's such a gorgeous,honest little horse. I'm sorry I've got to say it she's probably my favourite❤. Good luck for all your new ventures together she's going to be epic.xx

[@matthewturnbull317]

I must admit I wasn't sure who you would pick but you picked the best. She is beautiful and you make a good pair! Looking forward to that eventing...

I'm sure she was VERY expensive but I can tell she was still EXCELLENT value for money, what a gem of a horse x

Hope this isn’t too nosy, but what does it mean when one sponsors a video? Do they pay you to post it just like an advert on the TV?😅 excited to watch! X

It's when a company gives the content creator money or free products in return for them advertising the product in the video, hope this helped!!

I saw wilma coming out of the horsebus. Don't they make a mistake by up and onloading a horse? And how she was on the ferry, was she in a box or was she already in that horsebus? And is the ferry going to the eastcoast or westcoast of england? 🤔

[@danielabackstrom]

The horses stay in the horse bus

[@rutherose23]

When are you going to start riding Bear again?

[@hannalofgren4212]

Can someone please tell me, are there a different kind of “bit-fitting” in the UK? Because usually a bits mouthpiece isn’t supposed to stick out from the mouth. If it sticks out a little while riding it’s fine but when not riding the mouthpiece shouldn’t be visible from what I’ve been taught 🫣

[@hannalofgren4212]

@@user-hd4tc8eh1dyeah no absolutely but her bit seems waaay too big. But she got it fitted by professionals that’s why I was wondering. The bit shouldn’t stick out more that 1/2cm on both sides really, and hers sticks out way more 😳

[@Charbified]

Depends on the horse as well remember, because some will be more comfortable with it a little longer, with different shapes etc I don't think there's a different type of bit fitting in the UK, it's just whatever works for the horse you have.

[@hannalofgren4212]

@@user-hd4tc8eh1d yeah I know what you mean but this fitting is way past doughnuts.. she would need to go down like two sizes 🥴

[@hannalofgren4212]

@@Charbified yeah maybe.. but I mean if the bit is that big it slides all around, being very unstable and could result in wounds 🫣
