Oh I agree with you. For Meg it was for her. Her fears and confidence. For us. We still all suck hahaI don’t think it was actually about that though really, for her it was more tackling the mental hurdle of falling off… I totally agree you can’t really plan how to fall off
Away shows in stables, ODE’s/day shows in their trailers and boxes, no one should be touching any horses or having selfies without owner present.Really frustrating but it’s the same with top horses. Top horses and riders are now stabled away and are more secure (at least in SJ comps I’ve been to). I know she isn’t a top rider with a top horse but a very well known one so…just an idea for next time.
That being said, people should have more respect and be more aware of the bio hazards when touching horses they don’t know. Stables = down time when at a show, so leave them alone.
Made me well up a bit. She has worked so hard for this. Proud and happy for her.Aww Pete has posted a reel
Has anyone worked this out? So intriguedWhat do those B E K R things mean?
B is for horses that are British bred. K is for riders over 40. I’m unsure on the other two. I was 14th with a double clear. Thankfully definitely not a dressage competition! I was around 70th before the jumpingHas anyone worked this out? So intrigued
I actually really like the coloursI wish they chose nicer colours for the rosettes

Well done on your double clear! Both the SJ and XC courses were causing a lot of issues! Congratulations! Now go celebrateB is for horses that are British bred. K is for riders over 40.

Would Dee and Jam not count as British breeds??B is for horses that are British bred. K is for riders over 40. I’m unsure on the other two. I was 14th with a double clear. Thankfully definitely not a dressage competition! I was around 70th before the jumping
No, they're both from Ireland which isn't part of Britain - only Northern Ireland is.Would Dee and Jam not count as British breeds??
She’s very self important and thinks she’s the bees knees.She’s such a pompous arse! I know plenty of horses who have thrived going barefoot when vets have written them off. Yes, it doesn’t work for every horse, but I know some who are still out competing and loving it today thanks to barefoot. Such an arsey comment to make!
I know she’s written it in a tongue in cheek manner, but her thoughts are transparent.
If my vets were putting out posts like she does I’d be moving pronto!She’s such a pompous arse! I know plenty of horses who have thrived going barefoot when vets have written them off.

Any decent vet will work with the farrier to figure out whether shoes or no shoes is the best option.If my vets were putting out posts like she does I’d be moving pronto!
Imagine what she is like if you dare to ask a question on your horses ongoing care as a client of hers?!
We are all trying to do our best for our horses, for some that is shoeing, feeding a certain feed or pursuing a certain treatment, for someone else it is the complete opposite of those things.
She is such a judgemental hole.
Silly me, had a mind blank and thought Connemaras were ScottishNo, they're both from Ireland which isn't part of Britain - only Northern Ireland is.
Didn’t see that one comingKate Lewis is starting a riding school? No wonder she’s been hoarding all these animals, she may as well start a petting zoo too

Which is why I’ll always be a bit of an Elphick poo pooer. She is nothing but downright competitive. Which is fair enough. Just don’t wrap it up in a Wimpy sandwich. if you know, you know….Fair play to meg. Hard work paid off. Interesting to see in the insta reel that she was literally checking her timer watch mid air over the last fence!! That's some incredible confidence recovery - ponies must have felt amazing today
And it was nice to see a lot of positivity! This site gets a bad rep and unfairly so IMO. But it was nice to see the last few pages were just about hoping Meg did well, but not hoping for it at the expense of others.Well the thread certainly moved fast today
