But what she's got in the field doesn't even begin to fit the brief. At least Winnie doesn't. Never seen the gelding so no idea. But if that's similar, it's not what she says she's after either. Winnie doesn't exactly scream "Sporthorse", does she? Or even whisper it...lus I think it’s odd she’s looking for a young hose when she has 2 in the field
I think what’s getting confusing is the fact they keep breeding them….. She put Bear to a WB and she doesn’t want a WB, and it’s not making any sense. She was super excited for Winnie and Ari prior to them being broken in when she was free jumping them, she was excited how much they showed potential, since being broken in, they’ve had there quirks and she’s since decided she doesn’t want WBs, and you can see she’s not super confident on Winnie. I guess the moral is, stop breeding them…. What’s she gonna do with Ettie and Bryni’s foal?? They don’t fit her criteria do they?But what she's got in the field doesn't even begin to fit the brief.

Not she doesn’t but I was more on about time management. If she doesn’t have time to prep one for an event and get lessons she needs she has no time for a youngster. And if she sold the other two or even Just Ari the budget would be bigger and she’s find it much easier to source one. I think Whinnie will like Jam a decent amateurs/pony club horse but nothing more. If she wants to go further than she has done she definetly needs a more capable horse, but she won’t get there if she doesn’t commit to training. She could so easily make training vlogs and if they are decent lots will watch as sheis like most of us competing for fun and not at a huge level either.But what she's got in the field doesn't even begin to fit the brief.

Her family help her out I think. Not sure if she gets her instructor to ride Joey while she’s away though. I think Meg has someone to help with the mucking out and full care when they are at a stay away.Does Meg have a proper groom on their yard? If she doesn’t maybe she should hire someone who is a capable rider to help her with the riding and training of some of the ponies/horses. Takes the pressure off her and her other social media commitments. Probably most larger influencers have outside help. Harlows family literally have their horses looked after and trained by Bea. I suspect Esme has help as she is away a lot with work but also doesn’t need to have them at the same fitness as Meg.
I am not sure that not having had much time for traiming in the two weeks leading up to the event is really "not having enough time for training" in general.Not she doesn’t but I was more on about time management.

Totally agree but I think the whole breeding lark is her mum rather than her tbh.And if she sold the other two or even Just Ari the budget would be bigger and she’s find it much easier to source one.
Maybe she just doesn’t show the training but she needs more if she wants to be competitive at BE100. The win was just a testament to how honest Jam is. She’s not going to carry on being honest if Meg doesn’t start giving with her hands. She needs to let the mare go not hold her back and kill the canter.I am not sure that not having had much time for traiming in the two weeks leading up to the event is really "not having enough time for training" in general.
I'm self employed so I get how things can go crazy for a week or two and then life returns to normal.

He might also be quirky, Meg used to say that Lara, although super talented, was a bit cold backed & could be a bit of a handful. Didn't she mention that Miri Hackett came over to work with Ari & thought he was a bit sensitive? Maybe she gave Meg some advice off camera to turn him away more?I really like Winnieat least what we have seen of her. She’s small but she looks more sporty / blood than Jam. Bit more flashy and can jump. I’m not sure why Meg is not more interested in her.
Ari does nothing for me and I would guess he has some issues related to his back

It is a photo from Badminton. I'm glad she decided not to run Jam in the new bit.Someone tell me if I'm going blind and/or mad - in the thumbnail of Meg's latest it looks like Jam is in the gag bit but in the vid she's in the pelham? Where's the thumbnail pic from then?
(also eyeroll at the "jam doesn't like the new bit because I can stop her" no, I expect she doesn't like the new bit because you're hurting her with it!)
You make a very good point - no one should be that upset. Perhaps a step back is in order. It's supposed to be fun.Ashley Harrisons latest vlog for fei was educational re week leading up to a 3 star and commitment needed. Now obviously there's a big difference between a 3 star and be100 but from my own experience of doing alot less height wise: eventing prep requires time, effort and hard work. I wonder how much influence megs business manager now had over her comp schedule? In fairness: meg should be spending the summer on her weakest phase(sj), rebuilding her confidence and coming back better for next yr at be100. I have huge sympathy for her - no one should be that upset doing what should be a privilege.
Must be my eyesight thenIt is a photo from Badminton. I'm glad she decided not to run Jam in the new bit.
