The speed that the fence judges got out the car really makes my heart happy!! So glad you got out without any serious lasting physical injuries!! Please look after yourself physically and mentally x
Seriously!! How amazing is that! Our jump judges in the US are often poorly prepared volunteers.
You have always been unbelievably brave and Inspiring but especially after bicton. The fact you got back on dee and did a showjumping the day after a fall like that is so admirable to everyone💗
you and jammy will rebuild that confidence in no time!! you're not defined by a fall, nor was it as much your fault as you claim. chin up, you're both still rockstars 💪
I’m just so happy you both are OK. The psychological aspects of situations like these are are always challenging, as I said before you were (& are) really brave getting on Dee for showjumping afterwards. I thought Jam done well because she knew you were under her and stopped momentarily enough for you to become untangled thankfully before her epic jump at the end 😂
Still makes me gasp aloud to see that! Soooo glad both you & Jammy are ok & that you're working through everything. Thank you for being vulnerable & sharing your journey. Learning & growth for me everyday...I appreciate you
Meg you are handling this insanely well. That was a nasty fall. You and Jam have got this.
Meg, so glad you and Jam Bam are both okay. So proud of how you handled the whole thing. Hang in there you'll get you mind back on track. Praying for you and Jammy!
I can imagine how confidence challenging a fall can be. But you are riding so much more forward and with confidence. Well done you! Well done ponies. Can’t wait to see what’s coming! 😊❤🎉😊❤🎉
Completely get your confidence hit, well done on getting back on board and jumping with Dee. I am very nervous about the prospect of jumping again after my own serious fall, unfortunately not in the fortunate position to jump on my horse and jump as Hugo and I are a new partnership. But it's a very big confidence hit and we will both get there. Keep being inspirational, well done and keep going!!
Hope your both doing good after the fall now ❤ Poor Jam Jam and you .
Loved your cross country ride with DeeDee what a gal! You girls smashed it! That mare is always so careful with her job. Also, I’ve been praying for you Meg, glad to see an update and that you are healing alright. Relieved Jam is safe and sound too. Can’t wait to see you ride Dee at Badminton!
Love from California⛰🌲☀️💙
So glad you and Jam are doing well. Well done for qualifying with Dee Dee for Badminton too! 💕
so brave to get back on the next day ❤
So pleased both you and Jam are ok, you will rebuild your confidence, I was not sure whether the weather had an impact on the fall, the ground looked very wet, heavy and slippery. Dee will help you get back to your normal form until you are ready to start jumping Jam, Both ponies are stars.
A lady at my yard has created some reins that break free if you fall off and the horse or the rider gets tangled. They are called “free reins” so might be worth a look. So glad you and Jam are both ok after your nasty fall! ❤
A great round of XCountry on Dee. 👏🏻. Glad you’re healing Meg.
Your the bravest Meg your so strong 💪 just remember that your such a good rider!!❤
It’s so cool that even though you fell off u still got back on and the next day you did showjumping I’m glad ur getting better your such a good rider 😃
You are V brave and a brilliant rider, I was at Bicton and saw your first xc round, but didn't see the second. Am so glad you and Jam were ok You are doing all the good things to get you back and confident. Wise person - take it steady and keep on keeping on
Thanks for the update!
Well done meg you are amazing and your cross Country on Dee was fantastic ❤
Thanks for the update Meg. So relieved you are looking after yourself & are healing. Am always struck by how you prioritise your ponies' wellbeing. DeeDee just soared over the cross country jumps (& the grid at home). Very best wishes with your recovery (both of you) - looking forward to what's up next🙂
Good to hear that neither of you suffered too badly from your fall.
Dee was amazing at Bicton. What a superstar 🤗
Cheering you both on in your recovery!
So happy that you and Jam are on the mend. It is always traumatic when we fall (I fell over a potted plant the other night and face planted in the dirt…and was surprised how much it effected me!🤪…seriously!!) Rotational falls and getting trod on are no fun at all. Good to see you out on Dee for a confidence boost. And I’m super excited for the upcoming vlogs.🥰
I'm very excited to hear that you did grid work and I hope that you and Jam had a good time and we're able to get loose relaxed rhythmic and more confident after your grid work. You both as a team are very strong so it's a strong so at this point it's important to both of you begin working again on increasing coordination and balance and timing.
Bless you and jammy hope everything is all jolly good now!!❤❤❤
Hi! Excited to watch! Glad u r ok ❤
Your round with Dee was absolute class! Looked effortless!
Good to see that all is well with you, Jam and DeeDee!
You guys are so brave❤️ I love watching you guys! just pure joy always from you and your ponies.
Great video Meg. Glad you and Jam are doing good.
I love you!❤I’m soo HAPPY you’re okay❤️
Great to hear you are both ok. So looking forward to all your winter vlogging to come and know you will regain all your confidence. You are a trooper! X
I just glad both of you are alright ❤
Thanks for the update Meg. Can't wait to see what you are working on coming up. Also, that was a Great round on DD.
Thank you for doing this update, you and beautiful Jam will get through this and will come back stronger than ever! It’s a learning experience and will make you more confident eventually, just stay positive. So pleased you are both ok ❤. X
I am so glad you and jam are okay ❤
I’ve not even got the nerve to watch the video of my tumble. Kudos to you for your courage!
Great to hear you and Jam are recovering ♥️ Dee looked effortless on the XC course ♥️
Hope your both doing the best Meg ❤
Love you all Meg!! I'm glad you were sorta alright!! x
You always give an honest account of your life and the last few vlogs have definitely been that. We laugh and cry along with you Meg. I know you will work hard on your confidence and you’ve got this. So glad you are both recovering ok xx
So glad to see you both well after that nasty fall. Chin up and well done for cracking on the next day.
Can’t wait to watch 😆 Dee was epi and sending love to u and jam 🥰
Thank you so much for making this video Meg. I just had a very hard fall with my horse who went down (thankfully we were both ok) but I am going through the same confidence issues that you are. It’s comforting to hear someone talk about the same thing Im going through and I hope you get your confidence back ❤❤
Hope your are doing well. I almost cried when you fell of.❤
So glad You and Jam Bam are all in one piece if slightly battered and bruised. Over the winter months you and her can concentrate on getting your confidence back. Well done for you getting g back on Dee Dee the following day. You and the ponies rock! Thank you xxxx
Thank goodness you both walked away from it! And remember being brave isn´t about not being scared, it´s being scared buy doing it anyway!
So glad your okay Meg
SUCH AN AMAZING TEAM YOU TWO ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I hope Jammy doesn't have problems jumping again. She has been the best as I've been watching the two of you. 🙋🏻♀️❤❤❤❣🐎
Glad you're ok
Great round
I am glad to see you both looking so well. If you continue to have problems with thought processes surrounding the fall, EMDR will help reprogram your brain. I went to a brilliant lady in Stratford upon Avon and can pass on her details. x
Glad all is okay, I have had those confidence challenges. I liked your comment on how you qualify early and you never know what will happen till badminton. I say need to bubble wrap the horses
Evening Meg, good to see you smiling again, 😌 you are super brave jumping them big jumps, I be worried about getting on a horse not let alone jumping!!!! 😵💫😂 a donkey ride at the seaside was my safe 😆 when I was younger!! Anyway happy Dee keeping you safe out on rides!! She knows your feelings every day and she’s got all that special love for you, when you feel down she’s there next to you giving her heart to you with butterflies 🦋 Smiles. Because your her mum ❤😊 Jam just feels bad what happened she loves you too.
Hope u both are ok ♡
Glad you're okay
Please don't worry about the fall, when you watched it you can see it was down to stride so not really anyone's fault and the mare really tried to save you, so keep the faith and confidence and have fun xx
Hope you two are okay❤
I’m so glad you both are ok! Have you looked at free reins they pop open so you don’t get caught in them! DD was mega round the xc
Early so excited to watch🎉
I hope your both ok:)
Poor jam
Well done See Dee 😍😍😍😁😁😁
I had a similar fall in January, just not over a fence. Going for a canter in the paddock, my horse's front hoof hit a clump of grass and we went forwards and down and she almost flipped us over but stayed up. She was okay and I got back on and it was fine until the adrenaline wore off and the pain set in. After that, my confidence was just gone. 😪 I dreaded cantering then we moved and she went nuts because I wasn't giving her confidence. It's a psychological sport for sure. 👻
Hope you guys r good
We match! My mare fell on my left leg years ago (literally like fell over sideways and onto my leg; I have zero idea how I didn't break it) and my shin swelled by 3cm. Sorry to say, my lump never went away completely. I didn't massage it though--probably would have helped. But it's fine and I don't notice it, just makes boots a little harder to fit since my legs don't match, lol. Hope you recover quickly and gain back your confidence. Falls are scary but you're a great rider and Jammy is a super pony--you got this!
Just believe you can do it Meg. Listen to people you trust, and come back slowly with Jam. Trot poles, and cross pole jumps, then a few low verticals as well. You can do it. Just try and stay out of your head. Hard to do I know, but I know you can do it. So glad that Jam is alright and that you are as well. Best Regards and always Ride Safe!!

Early! I love how your so honest and seem so confident. I’ve had really bad falls and you never fail to make my day. Thank you so much for that. You and jammy are such a great team ❤❤❤.
Edit: I’ve had really bad falls, and watched my best friend have a fall and she got a concussion and a broken tailbone. She almost died because of a tight turn after an XC jump. You help me relax and help me get my confidence back.
Glad your ok it must of hurt
Well done to Meg and her team. You did so well and we are so proud of you. For your bruising can I recommend 2 things in addition to the massage. It important to break up the fluid around the lumpy bruised bits and 2 things I've found to be so helpful is
1) Sunshine get it exposed to daylight if it's cold do it behind a glass window and massage it in the Sunshine if possible.
2) Arnica cream.
I've found to spend 10 to 15 minutes 2 times a day massaging the bruised lumps while inside and if you can get some sun coming in a window, no idea why this works. Then spend a few minutes rubbing in arnica cream and do this twice a day.
Please disregard if you feel it's not suitable for you, but I feel that give you information you have a choice and I won't be offended if you don't apply it. If you know what I mean.
Thank you for the update on Jam x so glad your both safe and healing well. Didn’t jam qualify for bicton earlier in the year?
IM SO HAPPY UR OKAY! IN THE LAST BIT WHEN U FALL ON CROSS COUNTRY I THOUGHT YOUR FOOT WAS STUCK IN THE STIRIP AND YOU WERE GETTING DRAGGED ALONG GALLOPING
I had a small tear injury to my thigh muscle that got a rigid sore feel to it. After the bruise went away, no one could see it from the outside, but I could still feel it with my fingers.
I went for Physio, and they used a sort of a roller on my leg. That was the most helpful thing ever. Better than hand massage. Anyway, if you can find one, you just roll over that scar tissue like you’re painting something. Sounds silly, but it works.
I got stood on by my friend's horse, in 2013 (so nearly 10 years ago!) and I had a hoof print on it, and now I actually have a detatched muscle in my thigh! Oof
Oh My Dear Meg,
I had not seen your fall at Bicton, I am so so sorry that you,got so hurt. I am glad that your beautiful Jam Jam managed to save herself, I am sure that she would not have stepped on you if she could possibly have avoided you, you absolutely know how devoted she is to you. I hope that you recover soon and get back to riding whenever you feel that you are able to do so. Take very Good Care of Yourself and Get Better Soon, all of your supporters and fans are praying for you and cheering you on. I know that your lovely friend Han will help you when she is able, she is such a lovely sweet girl and of course you have your Mum Hobbit who is always there by your side for support and love.
Jane from America, 👍😎🐎🐴🧑🏻🦰
I’m guessing you’re going on a horse safari ?😍 it’s my absolute dream !!
So brave and shows they trust you x when did jam get pulled up after she jumped the start box 😊
Hi hi ❤ hope ur okay
I’m so glad you and jam are okay! It will take some time to recover mentally and physically but I bless you a speedy recovery. Both jammy and Dede qualified for badders right?
Your fall reminds me of my fall off my pony over a three foot jump where she slipped coming around the corner and ended up landing on top of me and completely rolling over top of me somehow by a miracle we both walked away completely unharmed
That is the only fault I have not got back on after and I didn't get back on Because I was worried that she may have hurt herself
❤️
Why the stirrup bar safety release should be oiled so it flips down and stirrup leathers can slide off...or left down...why i ensure my stirrup leathers are not too big /thick for the bar....if you have to struggle to put the leathers onto the saddle through the bar then they wont slide off the bar in this situation..😢
You should be able to slide the leather on easily and if the bar has a safety catch , which stops the stirrup accidently working off the bar whilst ridden. Then ensure it is well oiled and flips up and down easily...It iz designed to flip down and allow well fitting leathers to slide OFF the bar if pulled sharply backwards as would happen in this situation!
8:51 I think vlogmas filming may be starting 🤣
Firstttt hope your getting better 🤍
@@eventingeditz11 it said I was first when I went onto it
Hii Meg I love you
I have a lipoma from falling off my horse 2 years ago. Instantly swelled with blood as a giant hematoma and is now just a lump of fat on my thigh. I could get it out, but the doctors aren’t concerned about it, so it would be my decision to get it out. I haven’t bothered yet. It’s not painful and doesn’t impede movemebt
My intention is NOT to make you afraid by any means, but I would feel horrible if I didn't tell you after a significant fall which also resulted in a "divit" in my calf, I actually got a blood clot about a week later because of the impact. If you start having shooting pain in your injured leg, please make sure they give you an ultrasound to rule out any DTVs! I'm so happy the two of you are physically healing and I have no doubt your confidence will come back quickly. Thanks for the update Meg!
Good job your weren't dragged 😟
Hi. No offence but I'm more worried about Jam. She can't talk. Thankfully you really care for your ponies. I LOVE HOW YOU CARE FOR YOUR PONIES. How I wish I could ride again. (from decades ago). ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Awww, Jammy seems so sad. Do you think her front feet slipped forward too? I know the ground was sopped. So sorry but glad you are both okay overall! And time will help healing, both physically and emotionally. 💗
It really looked to me like her front feet slipped forward on the wet grass, and she kicked her back heals up to compensate and make sure she cleared! And that just ended up like a buck and her front end went down. She’s such a good girl and was really trying, but it just went wrong. Love Miss Jammy! 💗
foal steps meg :)
Meg that's not ture about falls not getting to pros. They get to all of us and I think pros need to be more vocal about the psychological side of the sport. They are human too and have fears just like the rest of us! I had a trainer have a nasty fall and it took her 5 years to really truly get over it, and even now she still gets flash backs!!
Thank god you are both ok . And how are the prego mumas doing
So I have a question when it’s raining and it’s slippery how do you guys keep from slipping and sliding do you wear the plugs on the shoes?
How are you and Jammy doing
If you look she messed up the stride and it was slippery but her front legs went over the jump
Being honest, I think the equestrian mentality of just brush it off and get back on is toxic. Yes, you absolutely can make things larger than reality in your head, but I think it’s not healthy to not allow yourself to process your emotions and gain that confidence back in your own time. The equestrian sport I’d say is equal parts mental and physical but the mental side is so brushed aside. That’s at least been my experience with instructors and the community in general :-/ I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, you are so brave for getting back on the next day with Dee!
I had a really bad fall from my 5 year old 17/2 Hanoverian x thoroughbred on a general hack,because of an idiot dog owner..long story short adrenaline helped me get in to get her back home, I had a compound fracture of the ankle with later gangrene and a broken neck..
It took me nearly a year,but I got back on her mother and was fine…I rode the daughter the one I had a fall off but only once, I hadn’t lost my confidence as such but we just didn’t have the bond I had with her mother so she was was sold but she got a permanent home…
