Pony Summer Camp... As Adults (Showjumping day)

Показать описание

Never too old for pony camp, right? Welcome back to part two of my horse camp adventure with five-star event rider Simon Grieve! If you enjoyed the first part, you're in for a treat because this video dives even deeper into the behind-the-scenes antics. Lucy, Han, and I had a blast, and as you’d expect, there’s plenty of laughter, chatter, and those classic moments that make pony camp unforgettable.

In this video, I also share my jumping session with Wilma. After Simon worked his magic on her in the previous video, it was my turn to take the reins, and wow, did we make some serious progress! It was a fantastic experience, and I’m so excited for you all to see the breakthroughs we made in her jumping technique and my riding.

This vlog has that old-school feel with lots of the usual chatter, so it's a bit on the longer side—just the way many of you like it.

Oh, and a little teaser—there’s one more part to this series, but let’s just say it doesn’t end quite as cheerfully as this one does. Stay tuned!

Love the importance Simon places on your flat warm ups before jumping. It’s so much more than just walk trot canter jump and made such a huge difference to Wilma’s way of going.

Simon is so calm, so knowledgeable and so loves the horses

You've grown so much as a rider. Simon really knows you! Having been here for YEARS I feel like I know you a bit too. I totally understand relying on hand rather than leg because that is me too. That being said, when you sit quiet and let her move on, those little body adjustments make all the difference. She is such a different ride than Jam. (Like I've ridden either one of them) but as I said, I've been here a long time. Your progression, your confidence in your ability as a rider is so wonderful to see. It's rough you can't have a Simon coach you every day because in a month, all that muscle memory would be there. You know what you are doing, Meg. Wilma is lovely and really tries but an occasional stop (again I know) is usually because of ME and my uncertainty. Don't let that happen. You are a beautiful rider. Wilma IS a quality horse and she will take you anywhere you want to go. Jumping the bigger fences really helps too because it makes her use her body correctly and brings the strides to where they should be. Jumping off the soap box. Love the vlog and love you and Wilma (and the rest of the crew)

Simon is an amazing rider! The best part is that he can impart his knowledge to his pupils. That’s not always easy. Wilma has so much potential. 🐴. Must remember that she’s still young and learning.

when you're all trotting together in the drone footage and poor little affie's legs are going to keep up its cracking me up ahahahahaha

Meg you are such an amazing rider, Simon is so great and he is a good trainer of you, Wilma is so cool, you suit her and ride her well. I am so impressed how Wilma jumps. I think you have improved so much in these few days well done meg. We all love you

Always impressed at how clever horses are to organise four legs over jumps with someone sitting on them. Well done Wilma and Meg 🐴😍

Great lesson Meg. Well done. Love Simie's training. He's really calm and quiet in his methods and very effective. You wouldn't think the calm professional trainer is the same silly funny Simie we all love. 😂

Wooo super Wilma !! She is looking like a cracking little event horse now Meg! Also lolling at Lucy fighting for her life on the gallops 🤣🤣🤣 xx

Wilma is a lovely example of a Connemara TB cross: proportions, movement, willingness. Really enjoyed watching your lesson with Simon. The warm-up transitions seem super smart so she gets used to listening between jumps so it doesn't become a power struggle with you just holding.

Wilma is looking great. She's maturing so nicely. Simon is great form as usual. So quiet and easy to understand, even for those of us not at your level of riding.

My coach says it takes a least a year, a full cycle of seasons, to get to know your horse. And you have a lot of horses to know so I think you are making such progress. Love watching your lessons and what you learn. It's helpful to me too! Keep playing the long game!

I also wanted to say what a LOVELY facility Simon has! How wonderful to have the two arenas, the cross country jump fields AND a gallop track all in one place! I have a bit of stable envy now 😅

margauxnodvin

Isn't it amazing how a young and very different horse can humble you into recognising that you still have so much to learn. I think every youngster I rode away taught me more than years on one old favourite.

egeegee

Your flat work before your jump school was fabulous and so helpful for both of you and you both looked great.
At home schooling distances with poles on the ground, changing number of strides between poles by using your body, seat and fingers can be a great exercise. You had a fab lesson. Simon is the best and you did so well!!!
