Welcome back to our Camp Series with Lucinda Fredericks! In this video, we get real about the ups and downs of equestrianism, as the effects of Bicton finally boil over.
As a rider, I know that falling is part of the game. But when I took a hard tumble at Bicton, I didn't expect it to have such a lasting impact on me. In this video, I share my raw emotions as I struggle to come to terms with jumping my ponies again.
I am so grateful for Ellie, who stepped in to ride Dee for me when I just couldn't. Her's and Lucinda's support and understanding helped me through one of the toughest moments of my equestrian journey.
I was reluctant to share this, as I do worry about the comments and my reputation in the industry. However, this day I was genuinely terrified to come to a fence on my own horse, and I think it's so important to air this to the equestrian world.

I'm so grateful that Meg has such a lovely, kind & supportive community behind her, without you all it would be so much harder. Thank you xx

Thank you for showing an honest, authentic representation of the difficult parts of this sport. Riding can be dangerous and scary, and it is refreshing to have that side of things shown by a rider we all look up to. This is going to make a lot of riders feel less alone ❤️

It’s going to be okay Meg. Everyone who rides long enough has times like this. You are so brave for filming it and you’re going to help so many people who are going through the PTSD of a fall. Just remember all that adrenaline/anxiety is your body trying to protect you. You aren’t crazy, or overreacting , you experienced a dangerous and scary fall and you are having to convince your body that it isn’t going to happen again.

Meg, we all cried with you. What a credit you are to your horses. Lucinda is absolutely right. You just need a little help right now, which everyone needs from time to time - no matter which stream of life. You haven't given up, that is why you are still on this journey and why you are with Lucinda - you have have stopped at a fence but you are progressing through and that is important. What courage you are showing. A lot of people would call it quits but you aren't, you are facing your fears and we are all rooting for you. Dee has a wonderful heart and is bursting with natural ability and class. And isnt Lucinda and Ellie wonderful. I always love the vlogs with Lucinda as she is so genuine, so passionate. You are so lucky to be surrounded by these people who care for you and support you - You'll get through this.
Crying is emotional release, it's good for you. I think it's great that you got to see Dee jumped, she looked absolutely amazing and like she was enjoying herself. This is the horse you've trained and she's got real talent. I see this and I see a great foundation to build your confidence on.

"You can't train bravery" this is going to be my life quote from now on cause I do recognize myself in you so much! No matter how much we love our horses, one thing going wrong can make us lose confidence, but eventually we'll get our confidence back with time and getting used to things not going wrong. I'm really glad you shared this with us, Meg ♥
Dear Meg, firstly thank you for your honesty & bravery. Your fall was brutal & clearly your concern isn't just for you, but mostly for your horse (typical of your loving care of your ponies). My trauma came from a car accident, but I had some falls from horses previously. Take the positives: you have got back in the saddle; you have successfully ridden not only your ponies but other people's horses. Furthermore, consider the complement from Lucinda when Ellie rode Dee - "Dee is such a credit to you & how you have produced her". I hope this experience with Lucinda, & all the emotions, form a positive start to your healing & the rebuilding of your confidence in yourself & your abilities & confidence in the awesome ponies you have so brilliantly produced. Never apologise for being truthful - there is no shame in that - entirely the opposite - it shows bravery, truthfulness & your awesome character. That's why you have such faithful followers & respect from us (& your sponsors). Much love, be well - it will get better - I know🤗x

Lucinda had a lot of great things to say. She believes in you. This will get better. I'm so glad you will seek out help with a professional to move on from this as it's so hard to move forward after a fall like you had. Crying will do you the world of good and the relief you will feel afterwards will be worth it. We are all human and we do cry, thankyou for including this in your video. On another note, how good would a foal be between Dee and Marley. We all appreciate the ups and downs in your equestrian life, for me this makes it relateable to us as viewers. Thank you and *Hugs*
I do appreicate you being raw, although I know how hard these vlogs are for you to make; being a rider who frequently struggled with confidence I feel a lot less alone when those who I look up to feel the same way. ❤

Mental blocks and anxiety are a huge part of the equestrian sport that tends to be overlooked. We have all been there. Thank you for sharing!
Meg. You are so brave for showing this. I think many Equestrians struggle with this. I feel like we are just under an assumption that in horses we have to be brave all the time and not let anyone see our weak spots... That's not how it should be at all. This video is so honest and authentic for me, I feel like its very real of how riding is. Not everything is always sunshine and rainbows. I for one can understand exactly where you're coming from.

You are a breath of fresh air! Raw emotion, honest vlogs showing the highs and lows, good and bad… this is exactly what should be influencing our next generation. Thank you ❤
I wanted to thank you for posting this. It was such an authentic moment...that many of us have had from time to time. Riding can be scary...and it can be hard to get over a fall...especially from a horse fall. Take the time you need...it WILL come back.
Oh Meg. Post traumatic stress is so hard, no matter what it comes from ❤️ You're amazing to put this out there, because like Lucinda said it happens, and this will resonate with a lot of people. My own experiences were different but the tears are very familiar. And the thing is, no matter how much you might want to easily put traumatic events behind you, your body remembers. The moment you said you were wearing the dirty body protector from Bicton your whole breath and energy changed.... You dealt with it as well as anyone can, honestly. This is such a hard sport at any level and we all need to be *kind to ourselves* and look after each other. 💗💗💗 And remember that maybe you can't train bravery, but only those who have known fear can ever *be* brave
Omg I’m just watching this again after watching the new DD stallion reveal, at around 19:50 Lucinda said “look at her legs, she’ll be amazing with Marley.” No one even knew that there was a spoiler! It’s so funny how it was so obvious but no one knew it. So exited for her little foal though!!!!!! xx
This took so much bravery. Not just to do this but also film it and put it out there for the world to see.
As someone who has experienced many bad falls and A LOT of confidence knocks, it’s so refreshing to see someone posting about it. It takes a lot of courage to be vulnerable on social media. Falls can be so traumatic, and years later, I’ll sometimes catch myself getting nervous again. Proud of you for trying to work through it. ❤️
Meggy you broke my heart ❤️ you’ll get back there with your super ponies, like Lucinda said they’re an absolute credit to you and are as good as they are because of you! Thank you for being so honest and not shying away from how a lot of us feel after a traumatic event. Live, laugh, love and support you ❤️
Ah Meg. Broke my heart seeing you so upset, but you also needed to let that out, and it was a great time for you with Lucinda, Ellie, Tina and Pete all there to support you. We all lose confidence that's the reality of horses, so brave to share that side with us all. You are such a talented rider and as Lucinda pointed out you produced Dee and what a gorgeous ride she gave Ellie and credit to you for that. Be kind to yourself and you have got this. So many people who have been watching your journey over the years are routing for you. Lots of love and hugs coming your way from so many parts of the world ❤
Hope you're doing ok now, Meg! I was tearing up watching this! Like Lucinda said, Dee is an absolute credit to you! She's so capable and so are you! Don't forget that.
As someone who struggles with anxiety like this while riding without even hitting the ground like you did, I appreciate you sharing this! It makes me see that I’m not alone with my anxiety while riding!
It is hard when your confidence is rattled. You're very brave to show your whole lesson, the good bits and the less good bits. What an amazing instructor Lucinda is. So very knowledgeable and also compassionate and understanding. I'm sure she can help you get through this. And Ellie showed you how well you've trained Didi. She went really well. Keep going. Onwards and upwards they say. You can do it. ❤️
Thank you for showing this side of horse riding, sometimes it's so easy to watch people online and compare and think how do they never have any bad days... You are an incredible rider and I hope to one day be as good as you. As my instructor said once when I had a wobble that one day we'll look back and laugh. Live laugh love you Meg 🥰
You are so inspiring honestly anyone would feel the same after Bicton. You have much more strength than you give yourself credit for.
Thank you so much for showing your low moments! It’s so incredibly hard to do the normal when you get in your own head:( in a way it’s reassuring us more novice/low level riders that it can happen to absolutely anyone no matter how good they are and I’m so grateful that you’ve shown the ugly side to confidence knocks as it happens but no one shows it, you will get there, you are amazing remember that! ❤
I don't usually comment but that was really hard to watch for so many reasons, but am so glad you posted it. Loosing your confidence is a funny thing, people often say it so flippantly, but no one knows what it's like until it happens to them. Sleepless nights, over thinking, double checking everything, excuses finding, lieing to yourself! I used to vomit in a morning if i was supposed to be taking my horse on a walk and trot round the block! the sense of foreboding was suffocating. My logical brain said "It will be fine, youve done this a million times", every other parts of my body and soul said "dont do it! something awful will happen!! Worse than you can even imagine!!". I did get over it and I think I am a better rider for it, and a more sympathetic friend to people who loose their confidence. Keep going, keep trying different things, it doesn't feel like it now, but you will get there. Huge hugs xxx
I have mentally been exactly where you are in this video Meg.. it isn't easy at all. You are filled with talent but when the mind takes over it really is hard to push past it. But you will and you'll come back and out of this moment in time stronger than ever and use it as a strength xxx Big hugs!
Honestly was so tearful watching this! It’s a feeling that if it’s happen to you, you know how hard it is. Not long ago this was me, in my scenario crying about cantering because of a scare. It’s so hard to get out of your own head!
It’s so good to have moments like this before going out for the season! You’re processing some really scary stuff, it’s wonderful that you’re doing it at Lucinda’s!
such a nice take on the real ups and downs of riding. It's never easy, you're so admirable meg - these moments is what makes all the best moments the way they are ! 💗💗
You’re so brave for sharing and filming all of this. Every rider has times where confidence is lost, you’ll come out of all this stronger than ever ❤
You are so amazing and it’s so understandable to feel like this. I was absolutely sobbing watching but thank you for sharing such an honest video. We all know you’ll come back stronger as you’re an incredible rider and I hope that you believe in yourself too. I hope that you reading all of the comments on this video, and all your other videos, helps you to know that you are supported by so many people who love what you do. Sending so much love ❤
Thank you so much for sharing this , I’m like this at the moment for the simplest stuff and it’s nice to feel everyone get it sometimes not just me and you can work though it .. thank you so much and deedee looks amazing ❤
Thank you for sharing Meggy. I found this video so helpful because I have let fear stop me for so long. You are inspiring that you are facing it. I wish I was as brave as you!
I love that you were so honest in this video. It makes people who look up to you that are going through the same thing feel less alone. Thank you for posting this for us to watch.
It’s really great that your showing both sides. There are days where confidence is a hard thing to have. Your showing us as the viewers that it can be hard. Your only human. You don’t have to be strong all the time.
You’re such an amazing rider and seeing you make progress like this and not give up and still have trainers to help through it gives me hope for myself as a rider. Thank you so much and never forget the love and passion you have for riding.
Meg we always have bad days and accidents always throw our confidence! You are an amazing rider! Keep at it and believe in yourself 💕
I felt this so deeply. Thank you for being honest and posting this.
I struggle with my confidence and sometimes get really down on myself over it. Thank you so much for posting this. It is so helpful to see that I’m not alone in this struggle!
Thank you so much for sharing this side of the training - you are brave! I am sure you will find a solution to help you heal after the traumatic fall. You are amazing and an inspiration! Thanks for all you do. Rooting for you!
You are so brave for sharing such a vulnerable video, and it breaks my heart to watch you like this! Confidence is the absolute worst as it takes the longest time to build and yet, can come crashing down in an instant. You’ve got this xx
I came off this fall for the first time in 6 years and I gained a fear I've never had. It's been a real struggle to over come it. I'm no longer trusting my extremely trustworthy pony. Thank you for sharing and remind us that we aren't alone in our feelings.
Awww I'm shedding tears along with you. I've had to work through this fear as well. It's hard. Give yourself time, it's ok to take little steps of progress. 😊😊
Awh Meg! We’ve all been here, thanks so much for posting this video it an honest reflection of what we end up going through! Don’t over think it, you’re more than capable trust that ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for showing this side to riding.. I think it’s one that doesn’t get shown a lot. You’ve come such a long way since I started watching you. You’re a great rider, keep telling yourself that, the only thing holding you back is confidence!
This looks like one of those lessons where you keep on learning from the lesson long after it's over because it takes time to process everything that you did in the lesson.
I love how you have shared this all and we’ll soon be cheering you round badminton, on hopefully both of the girls. You’re such an inspiration!
Thank you for showing us this. We all have had moments just like this. Thank you for keeping it so real with us. Dee is an amazing little mare. We all love you Meg.
aww meg. i genuinely cried watching this. you did amazing!!!!! Lucinda is such a good coach i could only dream. i could also only dream of you eq! your my biggest inspiration, wishing you the best for everything
I have been feeling exactly the same way. After a fall off my horse where I was injured, I have hit a wall with my confidence that I have had a terrible time trying to overcome. I can get on other horses and feel fine but on him I can barely ride. It's incredibly frustrating. Thank you for showing us that you struggle like this too.
Thank you for sharing, this is a side to our sport so rarely shared but so frequently experienced. You will get through this.
This is all so relatable so thank you for making all the times I've cried on a horse feel validating
SO proud of you, I know how hard this is. I can't even canter my horse anymore because he's bucked me off a few times now and every time I try I get flashbacks of my fall.
Oh Meg you don’t know how much I needed to see this ❤ I’ve had 3 falls in the last 3 weeks and having a bit of a confidence crisis. Love knowing I’m not alone x
Ooh beautiful Meg🥺❤ You are gonna come out off this even stronger, i believe in you! You can do this!
Thank you so much for posting this Meg❤
Oh, Meggy. My heart aches for you. You are so, so honest and brave to share these REAL moments with us. After a fall/accident it takes so long to build yourself back up. I’m so grateful Lucinda and Ellie are there to support you. You are in the right hands, and Dee is amazing.

I NEEDED TO SEE THIS I really genuinely appreciate this because I have been having a really hard time jumping recently because me and my lease horse have had a hard time with our communication recently and many of my lessons have ended in tears and I needed to see that it is normal and ok to feel this way as an equestrian.
Aww you can do this Meg! Sending you much love. ❤
Thank you so much for showing this. I struggle a lot with confidence and it helps so much seeing someone you look up to showing us that everyone goes through their own confidence struggles. it's a really nice reminder that we can do it and nothing has to be perfect all the time ❤️

This is so honest and thank you for being brave enough to show this side of riding. I think it's something every equestrian has to deal with at some point. I had a nasty fall last year that landed me in the hospital for a few days and still dealing with the mental side of it. Hang in there--you're doing all the right things to get your head back in the game.
Thank you for sharing also the hard parts ! You can do this Meg ❤ continue in your journey, al we be well ! Jambam and Deedee are both more than capabel thans to you ! You are my inspiration to learn jumping and become a better rider !
I love how honest you were in showing this. It takes guts to get back on after a big fall let alone film the mental struggles we all have to deal with afterwards! Thank you for sharing. So much respect and admiration for you 💪 👏
Thankyou for not only showing us the highs of this trip but the lows. We have all been there as riders Meg, you can do this!
I love that Meg posted this because it shows that not everyday is a good day especially amazing such as herself. It also helps me and other equestrians that struggle with confidence know that we are not alone and that everyone has these confidence knocks all the time! Lots of respect goes out to you Meg !!!!
Thank you for sharing that with us, it was incredibly raw but you aren’t alone in what you are feeling. Things don’t always go right and that is ok. Take a step back & just have some fun again x
You are so so brave Meg. Thank you for sharing the hard bits with us. I resonate very deeply with this. I have so much faith that you can get through this. ❤️
Oh Meg!! I really feel for you. Thank you for posting this. I had a fall around the same time as you did (it wasn’t a bad fall and both me and my pony were fine) while I was cross country training. I lost all my confidence and couldn’t even trot my pony round a field without panicking! It is always nice to know you are not alone in this world. Dee is so talented once you have your confidence nothing will stop you two! ❤️❤️
Meg- I have so much respect for you. This is a massive moment for you, and it's an honour that you have shared it with us! You have no idea how much this will help you and how much it will help others. You are an incredible horsewoman.

Truly grateful that you shared this Meg. The world needs more of you. Bless Lucinda , what an amazing coach and friend. You are amazing and this is the true honesty of the sport. Bless you meggy. 👏❤️
I had a big confidence knock one time while riding as the horse I rode slipped with his hind leg in the canter and fell forward onto his front knees. It scared the life out of me and I didn’t canter a lot for a good month or so. This video is so empowering to people who have had these big confidence knocks to show that it’s okay to have setbacks in your career whether it be a hobby or professional. You’re doing amazing and you’re such an inspiration to many people! We love you Meg!🫶🏻❤️ Lucinda did such an amazing job to comfort you after you broke down. She is an amazing trainer🫶🏻
Honestly, I really appreciate your willingness to show his side of the sport because this is the reality for many riders. I myself have gone down the confidence slide so many time in my riding career. It took be a long time to build it back and I promise from the bottom of my heart that you'll get back to where you where, if not further because of this!
Thank you for sharing this, I was crying along with you/for you, it's so awful loosing your confidence! You are such an amazing rider, the confidence knock is no reflection on your ability!
This made me ball 😭😭 I really respect you showing your vulnerability! watching your videos make you so real and relatable xxx
As someone who is currently in the exact same situation with their own horse, I am so unbelievably grateful that you posted this video. Even though this is footage is raw and difficult for you to share, it has made me, and many other riders i'm sure, feel so much less alone. At times when confidence is lacking, to be together and share experiences can help us all hold each other up. You've absolutely got this Meg, we are all backing you and so proud of you, and by watching this video it has allowed me to start backing myself a little bit more too, so I can only say thank you ❤
You are so brave Meg! Having a fall like you did is really scary but you will figure out how to put that aside. Thank you for being so open and showing others that it is ok to be afraid. I look up to you so much! Continue the great work!! You got this Meg!!!!❤❤❤
