That was what I was thinking! I was so oblivious when I was younger and knew we could afford the purchase price so didn't understand why we "couldn't afford a horse"Really wish I'd appreciated how much financial strain that would have put on my parents (who weren't wealthy by any means) and not spent years begging them for my own horse.

Ditching my Surrey home and moving to your yard ASAP!My livery is £220 PCM for a 15x12 stable, hard standing turnout in winter, 24/7 summer grazing, 5 arenas including an indoor, all weather canter/cross country track, cross country course over 40 acres, lunge pen, walker, hot wash and solarium and private hacking lanes.

Please discuss her, I’m happy to engage where I find it interesting. I don’t get the drama over it to be honest, if you don’t want to discuss her then just don’t, quite why people post to tell people they’re either just jealous or think Meg can do no wrong is baffling. Scrolling past is so flipping easy, no need to post to tell people that you don’t like what they’re talking about.You can’t win with the Meg debate, as someone who only really watches her vlogs:
1. I want to discuss her in this equestrian thread
2. I want to be mindful that not everyone wants to hear it 24/7, but at the same time nobody wants a separate thread for her
Because it’s repetitive, constant talk about the same thing over and over again. I don’t mind the talk, as it’s easy to scroll past, but not when the whole thread of 48 pages is about one horse Meg has bought, it’s kinda boring.Please discuss her, I’m happy to engage where I find it interesting.

That's a very good point but I reckon the type of people who have the guts to get out there and vlog are also the type of people who are so extra.Who is likeable though? Everyone is so try hard atm.. I feel everything has become so extra and “look at me”
But it isn’t though is it? And you keep adding to it by talking about people talking about her, it’s like a self fulfilling prophecy. Like all the people who bang on to the Daily Mail and Twitter about how irrelevant Meg and Harry are yet can’t stop talking about them.Because it’s repetitive, constant talk about the same thing over and over again. I don’t mind the talk, as it’s easy to scroll past, but not when the whole thread of 48 pages is about one horse Meg has bought, it’s kinda boring.
This is why I like Alanna Clark, her content is fab for this. Just watching her current vlog with her trainer helping her sort some problems out.If much rather see training and lesson content than the endless ‘new shiny’ product or ‘come spend a day mucking out with me’.. I do enough of that with my own!
I’d go with Flo and Evie for eventing and Alanna for dressage, they get the balance really well, think they all take what they’re doing seriously but also are fun to watch. Also love an Ashley Harrison vlog, the family and friends in hers really make for fun viewing along with the horse side.That's a very good point but I reckon the type of people who have the guts to get out there and vlog are also the type of people who are so extra.
I have to say, I like good horse content in vlogs, not too much chatty chat chat, and for the love of god, please invest in a good mic
And don't all use the same loyalty free background music...
My moms favourite thing to tell me was that buying a horse was never the problem it was keeping one and once I had one I knew how right she was, lol.That was what I was thinking!

Sorry, Smokey not Joey. Joey is This Esme’s horse. Watched a vlog from her yesterday having a lesson on him, it was not pleasant shall we say.Totally given upon her, she cares more about how everything looks than her horse. Her attitude when people were suggesting she get a good work up on Vossi because of his behaviour when jumping was awful. She was rude, snotty and arrogant.

Lilpet or whatever she’s called has done a vlog explaining that she sold Joey some months ago. Fair play to her for admitting they weren’t suited and so she did what was best for both of them and has sold him to a more suited home.
Agreed! And every vlog is different. I'm also quite excited about Dave. I like all her horses but he has an extra something. I think he'll be a bit special, and possibly quite a challenge. It'll be an interesting journey.This is why I like Alanna Clark, her content is fab for this. Just watching her current vlog with her trainer helping her sort some problems out.
They were never suited in the first place really. Why she bought a pony I don’t know.Lilpet or whatever she’s called has done a vlog explaining that she sold Joey some months ago.

Interested to see how XC goes given she doesn't seem to have taken him schooling (maybe once this year?)How on earth did Holly manage a 75% dressage score on Rocky? Must be generous judges!
Northern IrelandWhere in the country is this?! Ditching my Surrey home and moving to your yard ASAP!
To add, for horses, life here kind of sucks. We have no off road hacking or bridleways unless there happens to be some at your yard (which is very uncommon), and we do NOT have year round grass turnout EVERNorthern Irelandand trust me, it SUCKS here The economy is shocking compared to UK. I bought my 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house with a front and rear garden and driveway for 120k Wouldn't be enough to rent an apartment for a year most places in England!
Alannas only came out in the early hours, I was up early so saw it. She’s so honest in the vlog about things not going well and how her confidence is struggling. I’ll not lie, a lot of her lesson went over my head completely, but kudos to me for thinking she needed to take the coat off and that also the saddle wasn’t fitting properly.Agreed! And every vlog is different. I'm also quite excited about Dave. I like all her horses but he has an extra something. I think he'll be a bit special, and possibly quite a challenge.

Not seen her new one, must have missed it. Thanks for the heads up, off to watch now.
On Instagram I really enjoy Carl Hedin's content. I wish he made vlogs.
Did you see her insta post last week where she was covered in mud after having a flying lesson from him? Fortunately she was okay and got back on, but you have to be brave with these youngsters.Agreed! And every vlog is different. I'm also quite excited about Dave.
