I’m not very knowledgeable in the use of draw reins but is this actually a known use for them? I’ve never really understood what they’re for but her explanation doesn’t make a lot of sense to me

It’s a valid opinion and I agree with it but just because you don’t need one doesn’t mean you can’t have one. Laura Collett is a small petite lady as is Ros Canter and Abi Lyle. And I’m sure they all have horses above 16hh yet they are not over horsed. There’s many amateurs to. And while we are on the subject of Laura Collett can we just say how amazing a sub 20 dressage score at the world championships. I’m pleased with a 29 in a BE90 test.
I dont think his point was that small riders should never ride bigger horses. I think he meant that many ordinary people over horse themselves because they don’t consider smaller horses when really they would be fine on something under 16hh.

Wow she has so many followers?!! I dot even know who she is! Can someone please catch me up?
She was very early on in creating a YouTube channel & its followed on to Instagram. Shes a spoilt cat. Daddy & Mummy buy her expensive ponies & horses that she overjumps & gallops on hard ground to create content. Shes got a mare that she first broke galloping on hard stubble fields but then developed couldn’t get sound. So even though they don’t know for sure why they are breeding from her.
Then mummy & daddy bought her a v expensive eventer from a top rider. Shes struggled to get on with him. Now shes bought another very young & weak horse unseen & is schooling in draw reins.

I think her time is up on SM shes no longer the fun kid flying about on ponies that made her popular & as a person she is stuck up & unlikeable so not relatable to older people.

Totally agree. pony nuts is one spoilt cat and has nothing likeable about her at all. Just because daddy buys you a DHI horse Doesn’t mean you can ride one. Think this is more the reason than she doesn’t get on with it, I don’t think she is capable of riding a top level horse
riding in draw reins and then putting “ I knew I would get message” well why did you put the picture up then you dumb a!
she is what is wrong with the equestrian world
on this one am I jealous of her buying a top horse then wasting it ..... ABSOLUTELY
SEND IT MY WAY 😂

Meg is not to big for her mares. They are natives not superfine show ponies. Shes a bit big for Dora but she’s not staying forever and nor is Meg doing much on her so it’s not actually doing Dora any harm.
She was definitely too big for bear as she is for Dora. Jam and Dee I think she looks fine on. Ponies/ small horses are obviously her comfort zone which is a shame as she did ride Lucinda Fredrick bigger horses well!

Meg has spoken about getting something about 16hh but I expect they're waiting to see where Ari and Winnie are at too.

Basically £1000 for some group zoom calls with a guy with no qualifications?!? Is he feeling okay???
I hate stuff like this on social media now, it’s a bit like the social stable. Are people seriously wishing to pay these people? That’s a lot of money too! £83 a week for 12 weeks!!!!!

If she were a good & patient rider she wouldn’t need draw reins as a shortcut to encourage straightness.

I’m not entirely sure how draw reins do anything other than put more force than necessary onto the bit, but perhaps I just admire people who take their time.

To give Meg her absolute credit you never see her using things like draw reins on her babies.

this prompted me to go and look at his insta and I clicked on his “offers” highlight…he’s charging £4k for 1:1 coaching… from someone with no qualifications that is wild 🤯🤯🤯 it feels like a scam. I wonder if anyone ever actually takes him up on this and what it actually involves?!! I’d love to hear peoples first hand experiences and whether he has actually made a difference?

But they’re not tight, so it’s okay right 😠🤦‍♀️😢
Draw reins are one of the most overused, misunderstood and harmful pieces of tack out there. I remember using them when I had my first pony many many years ago and looking back now I absolutely cringe at what my poor pony must have felt. Fortunately they were ditched very quickly and we moved on to the next fad, (think it’s was over reach boots that were made out of the petals and we loved the noise the made when we cantered, pony never over reached once in her life 😂😂😂). My kids will never know how lucky they were to have parents that understood horses and how to care for them and knew better.

To be fair that’s probably what you’d expect to pay for online coaching for three months. I’d want someone that was proven and it’s too rich for my pocket but online coaches are big business now.
 
Wimpy has Pea coming back again, is that horse on a yo-yo?
it seems to get shipped off and bought back again and again.
Also, whilst on the signet of wimpy, what happened to going barefoot and using boots?
now I don’t care either way, shoes, barefoot, boots do whatever works for you but don’t go on and on about it.

Meg was not overly confident riding Lucinda’s horses, however under her instruction I thought she done well.
 
Meg did say she’s looking at buying a ‘horse’ this winter… and Ari will grow bigger than the girls. I’m glad she doesn’t have a huge, well bred fancy warm blood. I find it a lot more relatable.

In contrast, Cerys comes across like she’s overhorsed herself with all of her horses. And the fact that she’s sponsored by the most expensive of most expensive brands triggers me, alongside the fact that they’re absolutely minted and have very clearly splashed on their ‘at-home’ set up.

On another note, (I know she’s technically not an influencer however a pro rider and a few have been mentioned before), did anyone see Phoebe Buckley having quite a discussion with Sarah Stout about why Keysoe International failing?

Having a connie I can really relate to Meg especially when Holly came and helped her. I found that more helpful than anyone doing the same vlog with a warmblood that has different issues
I’ve not seen the discussion where is it?

Possibly been mentioned before but what does everyone think of these You Tube ‘shorts’? Just find it annoying when you go to watch a vlog and it‘s a 10 second random clip. wonder If they have to do it to keep their views up on You Tube?

Cerys is an extremely talented rider, she will go far as she is still young and confident, she deserves her sponsors, however I don’t totally agree with how far her training has gone with Mary due to the fact shes only 4. She also has well bred and talented horses. I think she is an amazing little rider.
