'LOOSE HORSE!' Wilma goes XC schooling! 

The rogue Meg and Han vlogs are probably some of my favorites. So happy to see Wilma’s sweet face doing a bit of schooling to boost her confidence. Happy seeing you guys having a good time, all hiccups with the wardrobe and loose pony aside that is. 😅😂

Bugger the internet critics, she’s your horse and you know her best. Do what you need to do. Every horse is different and develops at a different rate. All this “she’s such and such and age and should be doing such and such by now” is bollocks.

That little truck is proving to be invaluable. You can just pop your horse on and drive off. Edited to add that Regal Realm who was full Thoroughbred, started his career as a slow horse and later became Lucinda Green's World Champion horse.

Left your boots, lost your horse and had to call out the cavalry for rescue. Yep, Hobbit is going to revoke your adulting license. Three points added to your record and you're going to have to attend remedial teenager classes to clear your record. You can't go anywhere without permission and you have to be in by 11pm on weekends. I'll let Hobbs do the telling off.

I love the rogue vlogs also. I think she might end up surprising you with her speed. I reckon if you get upside another horse a few times she will learn to gallop . What about a beach trip with Banksy 😊

Meg sod what people say, go with what you think is best for Wilma. You know her best!!! ❤❤❤

This feels like watching the saddle club go rogue and I was waiting for Max to come around the corner at any moment. What a fun vlog, I had a really good giggle and Wilma is just the sweetest!

I LOVE her stunning bouncy trot through the water!!! But oh dear Wilma... the way she walked to Han 🥺

Wilma did really well. Especially through the water 😊 I did chuckle when you said "if Hobit was here, she'd be freaking out" 🤣 Wilma was such a good girl staying put. I think Wilma could with 80 but with patience and practice. BIG shout out to Dad coming to the rescue ❤

After watching your helmet-cam footage of you guys entering the water, I can see why some horses freak out. It looked quite scary from that angle. Wilma did really well, though, with the water and other jumps. I was a bit worried when she got loose. I'm glad Han caught her quickly. ❤

Can tell you've been down in Cornwall when your first praise to Wilma is "well done my love"

Meg, trust the process! Whatever you decide to do vis a vis the 70 or 80 will be the correct option. No second guessing yourself as you can do this and Wilma is a little star! Love her to bits and she will give you great pleasure and be an awesome XC horse in the future…. 😊❤️❗️

I absolutely love this mare, the extra gears are in there! She seemed more keen once her confidence grew, special horse ❤

Loving seeing Wilma and Winnie both develop. They are both such stars but such different ponies. Would love to hear how you plan to develop then both, given their unique words, what they need to develop and where you think they have potential. Lovely light hearted vlog :)

Great video Meg. Tell Han, her grooms view of Badminton was great. Great training Meg.

Wilma wanted to see what it’s like to be a wild pony!! She didn’t enjoy it as much as she thought 😂

Meg and Han are SUCH a good team ,AND I addmeryou for going out training. Han THANK YOU for going with meg .Wilma is taking it all in her stride,GOOD luck and all,the best .😊😄😄👍👍👍👍

Loving this, because you both had fun. The little fights can happen any time, and better you have them now than later. Loved the way you kept at it, going back and presenting fences to her again. Especially the water made me happy. King Kenny is definitely MVP today!

Love your vlogs with Han, so much fun. I also think your giggling together really helps to relax you Meg. Wilma really enjoyed her jumping and this is wonderful to see. ❤

Wow! You and Wilma really are like the DREAM duo!! I think she’ll definitely help you with your confidence and you’ll help her!! 💜💜💜

Omg you two are hilarious! Wilma is so honest and such a good girl ❤ I’m so excited to see you develop Wilma & Winnie and getting Bear back into work ❤

I think wilma did very well, she's really brave, and she loves the crosscountry. Maybe she's slower than jam but for me it was fast enough. A really good exercise. 😍

Love her , so honest , and think she will be a lot speedier in the future ❤

Fun to watch guys! Wilma is lovely

Honestly you and Wilma are the best duo!!! You have come so far with her! You and Wilma are AMAZING!!!!

You two have a friendship most could only dream of! I love the Meg and Han vlogs!!

I speak for everyone online (sorry guys) but if you think Wilma needs to go 70cm to keep building her confidence you should!

Oh Meg! I really hope you go with your gut, and don’t worry about what anyone else will think, you are so right, the most important thing is to keep her confidence at this stage! I just made the stupid mistake of doing our very first event in a class too big because I listened to other people saying the smaller class would be a waste of time, and now will have to back track several stages as my baby homebred scared herself and we got eliminated 😢 Don’t be like me - trust your instincts!!

I can't imagine what Hobbit would say if she was there when you forgot the mics, the boots AND losing Wilma 😭These humble, hectic vlogs though are actually my favourites

Wilma looks fab!!! Remember not all TBs are super fast though they are always all heart. She’ll do great. ❤

Definitely love the Han and meg vlogs. You need to come to barrowcliffe xc it's about 15mins from Simon and vale view and has so many competitions lines perfect for challenging jam and getting competition ready, but also so many small inviting jumps perfect for youngsters like Winnie and Wilma

Well done Megan and gorgeous Wilma! She really enjoyed jumping round there and trotting through the water! 😊

You two need adult supervision at all times!!! 😂😂😂 Wilma did brilliantly over the jumps xx

Follow your gut, you have a lot of experience, you know what to do!!

Loved loved loved this! inspirational and fun!

Love rogue vlogs so much, so fun, Wilma looks brill 🤩

Loving Wilma's Progress!! keep up the great work ❤❤

You two crack me up. It’s like watching Ab Fab. Which is Good thing. LOL

In young horses confidence is mutual and the more you allow her forward to make some mistakes the quicker she learns. Her gallop will come when she understands that she’s allowed to open up that gait, having mostly been very collected. If she learns to rely too much on you supporting and containing her she will have to unlearn it to gallop and jump freely. But hey she got the ultimate freedom in the end ! This is a sweet little mare.

Excellent team work! Wilma is a sweetheart.

Lovely vlog Meg! Wilma’s lovely xx

The start of this is literally me 😂 nothing ever charged up and leave all the important bits at home 😂😂 Looked like a good confidence boosting session and a bit of fun ! She deserved a bit of free range grass at the end 😂😂 The question everyone wants to know is has hobs told you off yet ?😂

Hope she continues to progress. Such a great start!

Great vlog. It sounds sensible to me establishing confidence first in Wilma. You've already done a fantastic job with Dee & Jam. I think you most definitely know what's best🤗

So excited to watch this!! ❤❤❤

Super riding, Wilma looked so relaxed. A happy time out and lovely vlog 😁 xx

Wilma and you are amazing!!

Wilma looks great. She is coning along very well. It seams a bit different to see Meg on a dark horse. Also you forgot the bike for Han to ride. :)

Wilma is a lovely mare Meg, you make a good team she’s a pretty good little jumper. I agree with below she’s your horse and you know her best. Keep up the good work. Hannah is a star ⭐ such a lovely girl.tfs🤗🏇🤗

Wilma looks fearless!!

i’ve never been this early!! can’t wait to watch this one meg! ❤

Well done meg and wilma and super groom hans and king Kenny x

Loving these fun videos with you and hanhan. ❤ Hopefully badders with Wilma in a year or twos time! 😊❤

Your both looking amazing 😍 Wilma looks amazing your doing so good with her ❤

Love your vlogs no matter what Meg! ❤ So entertaining as always 😊

Ooooh i can't wait to watch this!!!!!

I love these vlogs with you and Han

It’s videos like that that make me spend 30 minutes mucking out and giggling around the yard!! ❤

Meg I'm surprised that Wilma is a bit spooky as she seemed so confident when you tried her out at Ardeo, am I missing something?

Awwwwwww so glad Wilma had a good play! Love you and Han goofing around! Btw... LOVED the 2 hour Badders movie!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope you guys had a blast, cant wait to watch!! She is going to be the best little eventer before you know it, she is so smart and talented! 💞

Sadly I had almost no chances to ride so as a horse-mad girl I read everything the local library system had (they had a lot back in the '70s), and I do know book learning is not real world experience. That said with reading and watching other folks' videos a slowly built solid base is better than pushing too hard. Looking forward to more...

I love the vlogs where it‘s just Han and you. You’re so funny together 😂 so excited for Wilma‘s journey!

Good job, take care !

awesome video x

Im so exitedddddddd ❤ love her videos and she’s sush a great rider ❤

I love these vlogs 😂. Just ten minutes in 🥰. Luv ya both, from west australia 😊

Omg I’m sooo excited

Really love Wilma ❤ The TB cross makes an ideal horse imho

I love a black jump saddle and looks so good on her.

I don’t think she is going to be slow at all. Once she decides how much fun cross country is she is going to rock and roll. I say do what feels good but know that you tend to be conservative and your heart is always thinking of your horse. That can’t be faulted! But Wilma is more than comfortable with the 80 and you won’t be over facing her at all. She’s green but well started, is brave and enjoys her work! Keep that in mind it’s only 10 centimeters and challenging her a bit might be what she needs to show her TB side! No matter I would watch if she jumped cross rails❤

Looks like a great xc course. With your track record, you shouldn’t have any concerns about your training and competing plan.

Aww Wilma is always such a cutie

I do want to watch your vlog . I love them !!! ❤❤

I love this duo

love this vlog already and only watched ten seconds 😂❤

Never read a title and laughed so much

You are SO lucky that Wilma is such a good girl, and didn’t take off very far, and then allowed herself to be caught. MY horse likes to either spook and jump sideways and/or spin and bolt when he sees a different colored patch of grass while riding in the field. If he manages to get me off his back, he finds it HILARIOUS to gallop away from me as fast and as far away as he can get! If he had gotten loose out there, I wouldn’t have seen him again until he finally decided he wanted a proper meal. By then, he would probably have ended up in the next county! 😂 He’s popped me off in the arena before, once when the arena gate was open, so he galloped off out of the arena. Luckily, he headed back toward the barn and his stall to look for food. Another time he flung me off after a jump, but the arena gate was closed, so he was forced to do his victory gallop for a couple of laps inside the arena…🙄 I DO always get back on him when he decks me, and make him do MORE work so he doesn’t think that dumping me equals “get out of work”. I think only once I just lunged him instead of actually getting back on to ride. But I definitely got back and rode for another ten minutes of doing some smaller jumps after he flung me off post-jump. I ended up unknowingly riding and jumping with a couple of broken ribs and broken vertebrae. Of course the pain REALLY hit when the adrenaline subsided. I also learned NOT to tell the EMT’s or Emergency Room staff that I got back on to ride, bc then they assume I’m totally fine, and couldn’t possibly have any broken bones. HA! Joke was on THEM! But really was awful for me bc I didn’t get an IV or any pain meds until AFTER waiting 6 hours to have a CT scan. Which showed all of the fractures, which finally prompted them to listen to me about the amount of pain I was in! Anyway, I’m glad Wilma was so good schooling, and that she just got loose from her head collar! I was worried from the title that you might have taken a tumble! I’m glad I was wrong! You both looked GREAT❤

Forgetting your boots isn't that bad,at least you didn't bring one and forget the other!!!😂😋❤

Clicked on this video so fast!

Snuck away from hobbits grasp😂😂😭

Wilmaaaa Woooo ❤❤❤

Great vlog when are we going to see a Bear vlog ? So love her ❤

You’ll do what’s best for Wilms. I think a really confident 70 would be better than a sticky 80. Then she can come out confidently at the higher levels!

Missing Hobbs and Granite Lens Media!!!

Maybe it's because I've left a few too many braincells out cross-country, but I watched this whole video thinking Wilma could handle the next size up quite neatly! Whatever you decide Meg, we'll all be here supporting you. At the end of the day, she's your horse & you know her best. That being said - you might want to brush up on your halter skills before you turn more horses loose, lol!! Thanks for another great video!❤❤❤

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
