  • I love how Lucinda is always there for you at Badminton. You truly blossom under her coaching.
  • Did Rich just rocket up the leaderboard of my favorite featured coaches? How sweet of him to make himself so helpful on the jumping phases!
  • Just wanted to say a massive congrats and well done on the results. But I also wanted to say a massive thank you for being so transparent these last few months, from someone who is also recovering from a rotational fall it’s been refreshing to see someone else have the same thoughts and feelings. Congrats Meg and the girls!
  • the two girls meeting at the end “YOU WHERE HERE THE WHOLE TIME?!”. congratulations Meg it made me teary eyed..super proud of you and the girls!
  • THIS WAS LIKE THE ULTIMATE HORSE MOVIE! The highs, the lows, sad tears, happy tears, the comeback, the elation! Meg, you’ve become an amazing story teller of your own journey! Congrats on your blossoming career and triumph as a horsewoman.
  • @greenecrayon
    I started crying when I saw Meg happy crying, and then started crying again when she greeting the fans waiting for her and the all cheered. Meg, see how many of us believe in you!!! You did amazing and I'm so proud to be a fan! And then the flash backs... great, crying again... why is this just such a beautiful video? Meg you are such a trooper!
  • I don’t know how many other native ponies placed in the top 10, but you accounted for 20% of the top 10 placing with your two native ponies. You’ve proved that they can compete with the best of their division, be they TBs, warmbloods, or some other cross. You should feel so proud of that. And you’ve brought them along yourself. An amazing accomplishment! I am sending you an ear-splitting smile from across the pond. Well done, well done, well done!!!!
  • Thank you for taking all of us watching on your journey. The biggest congratulations to you and your grey girls for finishing top 10 x 2. Love to the entire team ❤ Jammy's "Stop, Squat and Launch" approach to the ditch is hilarious 😂
  • @jen3655
    I could not stop crying with excitement and happiness watching this. And Rich is still my favorite guest star.❤
  • @RebaaLoeee
    Not me saying ‘the silence is so loud’ in your second round of SJ making the cut 🤣🤣🙈 it was sooooo lovely watching you, and I’m honoured you used so much of my footage of your day! Well done and I can’t wait to see what you all get up to. Your community of friends is truly beautiful and the real equestrian dream in my eyes!!!
  • @Shauna6270
    Even knowing the result doesn’t make this any less emotional 🙈🙈 to see you and jammy cross the finish line was so special after the day we no longer speak of but going double clear with the beloved DD makes it all the more special! You’ve shown your ups and downs all year and all the hard work and no one deserves this more ❤❤❤❤❤
  • Meg. You are what I call a credit to the equestrian community, hard-work, dedication, commitment and a passion for your ponies and all your team. The vlogs are fun, entertaining and educational. Well done what a fabulous result with 2 ponies in the top 10. Dreams really do come true for those who dream.
  • I love how calming Lucinda’s voice is she could make anyone feel calm
  • Came back to the comments to say… you should be so freaking proud of yourself for not only beating the jumping demons but for doing it twice and absolutely smashing it on both girls! When just a few months ago you thought you couldn’t do it you did it!!!And then going and placing both in the top 10!!! For dd to take you around after so long trying to get her there and come 4th going out with a bang and end on such a high.🤍 Jammy just continuing to be the superstar she is on her second run at badders💞 Such an emotional wholesome video. Well done Meg DD and jammy❤🎉
  • @magicaltrails
    Well, that made me cry. :-) In a good way. DD may have a career ahead in upper level dressage --pretty nice piaffe there in the start box LOL! CONGRATS to the whole amazing team. I know you appreciate how fortunate you are to have Lucinda, Rich, Han, Pete, and supportive parents! Not to mention 2 completely epic gray mares with enough heart for 10!
  • I was crying so much when you came over the line and then was starting to calm down then saw all the support from all the team and all your followers and I was off again. Everyone was routing you on and it was so extremely special. None of that would of happened without you so a huge congratulations xxx
  • Beautifully edited! I loved every moment! To think that all the confidence issues, Jam's incredible last month or so of getting fit, Dee and her incredible 4th, Jammy and her incredible 7th and Team Elphick! You made me cry! We've been with you all the way and it was obvious by the folks who sent you footage and reception of your followers that we all were and are so happy. You are right. It takes a village but it also takes personal courage and tenacity. Well done!!! Thanks for letting us come along for the ride!
  • Look at how many people were there to support you! Great job Meg. Jam and Dee are in better condition than we have ever seen them. Congratulations to you!
  • @pudupudu9837
    Jumped on this as quickly as Dee wanted to jump into the showjumping warmup. Congratulations Meg. You’ve had the most amazing journey this year and you’re honestly an inspiration to us all. I can’t wait to keep watching as you and your channel grow from strength to strength. P.S. my toddler is currently applauding wildly so I think she’s pretty proud too 😂
  • 28:02 So chuffed to watch you conquer your fears and complete Badminton like that!! You did it, Meg!! I'm so proud of you and both Dee and Jam!! Double clear on both!! So, so proud of you!! And having Rich, Lucinda and everyone else on your team there to see you conquer your fear is amazing!! And to finish 4th and 7th out of such a large class is truly a great achievement!! Again, so proud of you!! Belated Happy Birthday Hobbit!!!! Love always, your friend, a Retired Paramedic, and a S&R Dog and Handler Team Trainer and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn. 💖 🇨🇦
