Jaffa's sales vlog: • MEET MY NEW PONY ~ A t...
As I say about a million times, this is not a 'how to' video as there isn't only one way to break a horse in. Every horse is an individual and therefore should receive different training accordingly. By all means get a discussion going and ask questions in the comments guys. However, any 'unhelpful' comments will be deleted, your girl hasn't got time for hate 😘
Enjoy my lovelies!

It’s so bittersweet watching your videos. After a couple of almost fatal accidents ( horse rolling on top of me) I lost my nerve. I love the way horses smell, the feel of them moving under you but I think my horse riding days are over. Top marks for helmets though. Saved my life twice. Jaffa looks so good ( we had a cat called Jaffa)

Oh no must be hard losing such an amazing hobby.. or more like passion. But I can totally understand this. I’m quite a brav rider and never skiped because I got bucked off or something but when you fell off a few times with a kinda bad ending... you’ll lost a bit of confidence in situations that are similar to those where you fall off.(Or at least for me) Do you think groundworking would be something for you? You better nothing with horses at all.

I'm so sorry you had to go through this. I was in an accident years ago where I lost all feelings to my legs, shattered parts of my spine and we didn't know if I would be able to walk again. Lucky enough I could but it's taken me 10 years to feel confident again. Now I'm looking forward to getting back in the saddle. Give yourself time and space to heal and I'm sure when and if the timing is right, you will feel the call again.

Have you tried basic groundwork and just being around horses. doing some in-hand stuff with a horse, move up to getting back on, then getting straight back off again, get on, walk a few steps, get back off etc. all on a really calm, quiet horse. of course don't force yourself if you don't want to! but I know giving up a hobby, especially when it was so passionate for you is super difficult...I move away from home last year and haven't ridden a horse since and it has been the most depressing year of my life watching youtubers all riding when I miss it so badly.

Maybe contact a coach? Like one of those who train with your mental state in connections to horses. I don't know if they are common where you are from, but they are here, its like an "alternative" coach and training method about riding anxiety. Some people say it helps them a lot- It could totally be worth a try. Its kinda like horse therapy.

I'm so sorry to hear that! Don't give up on riding if you love it so much! My first fall a year later is still knocking my confidence, I am really nervous out hacking because when riding a friends horse bare back in their arena which doesnt really have any form of enclosure, and she spooked as I was getting on and she bucked me off. I didnt ride for a week and I was riding a really spooky mare who whenever I asked for trot she cantered. This knocked my confidence a lot more. Several times I thought that I should just have given up, but I now realise that if I had, I would be lost. I strongly advise that after a fall get back up, if you are able to, as I didnt my first fall and I wish I had. My second fall I learned and I'm so glad I did because otherwise I would have been pushed even further behind. I hope you can ride again soon😊
Love his extended trot rather than canter! It’s like he doesn’t know canter is a thing! So cute x

tends to be the case with trotters or with horses that people have tried to turn into trotters, ive had a few people ask me to ride their horses because they cant get them to canter, then they later on find out they have previously been a trotter or attempted trotter, you have to be quite forceful to get them to canter but its hard as they dont know what you are asking and its not very nice as a rider having to do so either, i guess that this could be ther case with jaffa but i dont know im not saying it definitely is the case, just thought i would share my experience with this. On top of that he is just a stunning young gelding

I’d love a Jaffa pony!
I love how your neighbour's horses always seem to be in the background observing the antics!
Jaffa is gorgeous and I love his way of going. He looks like he has a great temperament
If I had the money, a Jaffa would definately be part of my life, he's such a beautiful pony :)
Jaffa is so adorable! I do like his movements on the lunge. He's going to be a wonderful boy!
Interesting and fun to see what goes into training and desensitizing horses. Including the bantering, which is always so entertaining. "Run, Becky, run!" LOLOL. It's great to see people who love horses managing to enjoy what is really a serious business and doing such a great job while not putting pressure on the horses and making it stressful for them. And Jaffa trying so hard to do what you want ... as soon as he figures out what that is. Thanks for all the wonderful vlogs. Keep it up and try to convince Becky to grace us with her presence more often.

Horse Voyeur Awh thank you ❤️
After 15 or so years of starting youngsters, no matter if they came into the world with me there or not, I always, always, go back to ground work first. Long lining, lunging, bagging them out, putting stuffed pillow cases over their withers attached to the rings for a 5 point breast plate. These bounce and touch the sides of the horse where the legs would be, and all done on the ground. So many people don't realize how much you can teach your horse without ever being in the saddle. Love how you and Becky got Jaffa to be to the point of being ridden. Slow and steady will always get the best results. Best Regards to you both. Please continue to be safe as the world slowly starts to open up again. From Ontario, Canada, Jenn.
why can’t we all have our own jaffa 😌😭

Jaffa is honestly my dream pony 😍
Jaffa, so laid back! Very easy to back, and such a willing attitude. Isn't it vital that they understand the question, and you were very good at explaining. 😊
I adore Jaffa 😍 I broke my mare in a few years ago now and she’s was my first youngster! I’d sat on her with a more experienced girl but half a year later I had a friend hold her and just popped on 🤣 quiet as anything! She’s a spicy one now she’s fitter haha! He’s such a good boy and I just love him! So excited to see more of him 😍😍
Jaffa is amazing, thankyou for posting an update on him! When I heard your nickname 'Jaffa Cakes', i actually discovered they were a thing and went to my supermarket in Aus and bought some from the UK section
After seeing a horrendous "breaking in video" barely not titled "flooding a gypsy until she shuts down" this is like some herbal ointment to soothe the anger! I love how you train your ponies, can't wait to see more 😁
Jaffa is absolutely adorable! I’m in love with him😍
For my hobby/job I paint, and I enjoy having your videos on my watch later playlist and I listen and watch, you keep me company basically. But boy what a boy you have! He is such a joy to watch, he literally has "joie de vivre" he has spice, class and a overall fun little man. I enjoy watching him immensely. I had to literally stop working to watch and I sat with a silly smile just watching him glide. Who ever has this little guy is going to be so lucky. I hope he finds a fantastic home when he is ready. He is very special. You are obviously very good at helping young horses to become confident comfortable horses that anyone could enjoy. There needs to be more trainers like you. Harsh handling is not necessary and it often does more damage than good. Sorry for the long post but I am so happy with this video. Well done guys. I hope to watch every horse you start like this. *GO TEAM ELPHICK* Thank you so much for this video, enjoyed it tremendously (bet you can't tell can you, lol) ^_^
Jaffa is so cute! Congrats to you, Becky and Hobbit for picking such a cutie pie!
Such a nice pony. What a great buy! On another note, love the relationship you have with your mum. She’s so sweet.
Looks like the sweetest wee pony for a kid moves and pops jumps so smoothly !💓
Jaffa is the cutest pony ever 😍 I'm so in love with him! Can't wait to see his progress, bless him ❤️
Great video, really interesting watching how others start their horses. Jaffa is unbelievably cute
You guys do such a thorough job training from the ground up and on both sides. Very impressive. It's clear why all your ponies have such a solid foundation. Whoever ends up with Jaffa will be exceptionally lucky! Love your videos, but especially these young horse ones. Really shows off your talent and experience. Thanks for sharing!
That wee horse is just awesome !!!! He’s going to develop in to something quite special 🥰 You all do a beautiful job of breaking your horses in and setting them up for a wonderful future....well done guys 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰😘
what a wonderful start to Jaffas life as a riding pony.. he is a super little guy. Thankyou for sharing his experience. what a wonderful pony he is.
What a superstar he is 😍 absolutely love him. Such an amazing pony!
Cute pony, he was clearly bred to pull a cart what with that super trot coupled with his lack of innate jumping skills!

My Welsh D jumped like a stag all comes down to training and sometimes natural ability not all Welsh Ds are the same. As for the trot that's a sing of good breeding
The three of you have done the very best I’ve seen in training a young horse. You were gentle, kind and encouraging to Jaffa, and believe me I bet he appreciated it very much. I am watching him trot down the lane and he looks fantastic, he is listening and obeying all of the commands that he has been given. Well done Great job done by all of you. Jane from America👍😎🧑🏻🦰
Absolutely loved this. Jaffa is such a lovely little pony and you have done an amazing job with him. Can’t wait to see him progress a bit more before he is sold (I will be so sad when he is sold and we can’t follow him anymore!)
He has sucha cute spicy jump I love it 😂😂
Aw he's coming along so well! He is dong amazing! And so are you 2 for training him like that!
Hi Meghan love your videos I’ve been breaking in a 13.2 dun called jasper he was from Ireland he is so sweet I’ve had him for 6 months and when I got him he wouldn’t let me touch him as he wasn’t handled I’m now riding him and trotting I’m hoping he will make 14 hands at leased love Jaffa cutest pony ever x ❤️
Awwww I’d forgotten what a Gorgeous pony he is, for a 4 yr old gelding he’s so chilled! my first pony was a chestnut Arab x welsh and I loved her so much, Jaffa reminds me of her so much xxxxx p.s I just re watched the sales vlog when you got him & said at the exact same time as you, he’s a perfect pony club pony!🐴💙

This was so heart warming to watch 🥰what a good boy x
I have a welsh chestnut/ flaxen that in breaking in (bringing back into work but we don’t know if he was ever properly broken in) this is giving me confidence so thank you
O wow he's Soooo good. What a gorgeous boy and you all do it so calmly. Xx
Very excited for this!!
What a handsome little guy!! Riding was always my therapy and then in 2010 I fractured my L2 vertebrae in my spine. Riding is still such a passion of mine but actually mounting makes me panic and I start to shake and my heart races. It’s still something I’m working on but after leasing my horses to bad homes or terrible trainers injuring them... I had to have them pts because vets said there was no guarantee that treatment would work and as pasture horses they wouldn’t be happy as they were in pain constantly... 🥺 now I have my young 4 year old but super fiery so I’m really not sure if she will be a good match for my nerves... seeing Jaffa being so willing and so sweet was really a way to cheer myself up. You guys are so good with your babies 🥰
What a fab little cob! That was lovely to watch.
Very similar to what we have been doing with my very green horse. Grandkids had been less around on him before, and he had been used as a back horse, on a team of 4. My trainer has been helping me all along the way:)
Good boy is a little trooper! That extended trot is going to be a lot of fun to ride!
I love the way when he jumps, he never misses a chance to slip in a bit of extended trot 😁 ❤
This had me laughing so much! “I’m like a bird” dead. Love your channel!
Done with care and considration, well done. Young Jaffa seems to be tucking up nicely with a bit of work also.
I love this video so much and this was the one that made me subscribe
Well done x his trot is so nice❤😍
Jaffa is such a wonderful little boy!
Found your videos great your so fun I have one mustang and getting another next week your blog was a year ago but I'll catch up mine are 3 and not broke yet so this is fun take care
One of the things I love most about Jaffa is that even if he was practically walking he would still go over the jump I also love his face it's just so cute in fact it's as cute as his personality

He's such an amazing pony!! You got so lucky that he is such an easy horse to break and ride in general ❤️ also why are you selling him???? I would definitely keep him
You the best meg
Great vlog ladies x
Fab m &m worker potential, reminds me of my old m & m worker burnmoor rhodri who was one in a million! Xx
Marvelous little horse .
I love the way the other horses watch him been schooled , he is gorgeous like all the welsh ponies ,
Love him! I have Haflingers and he so reminds me of them. One question, why does he still have the auction sticker on his rump?
such a lovely start to his education bless him!
Here on time again 👍😍
I want him so much he is so cute Meghan!🥰🐴
Did this pop up September 2023...Yes. Did I re watch it all... Also yes 🤣🤣
I love Jaffa so much!😍how many hands is he?
Thanks for sharing this, I needed some inspiration to get myself in gear and start breaking in my little cob. Jaffa seems very mild manners, even his tantrums are harmless.. right? Do you think he was a good boy which made the whole breaking in process easier OR are you guys just that good?
Jaffa is soooooo cute he has an amazing trot he is such a pro
Thank goodness for our traditional British sympathetic way of breaking . I'm fed up with the American approach and usually with 2 year olds . well done and a lovely sort of cob.
how much will he be up for? he looks amaze and seems perfect for me😍
