Wow, until you and Hobs sat next to each other in the car I didn’t realize how much you resemble her! Love some Hobs back in the video. Winnie looks great, fantastic seeing some of this training content. I’m excited to see her progress - she’s definitely a talented pony!

A lil’ Hobs in the making!

It appears to me that Winny may be a bay roan, with emphasis on the bay. The first time I saw her I knew she had some white in her. The core of her tail is light. Years ago my own horse was a dark red or strawberry roan. In the summer with high grooming for shows, his body coat looked pink, with dark red face, mane, tail, and legs! Later I rode a Morgan - quarter horse cross that was a bay roan, similar in coloring to the horse Heath Ledger rode in "A Knight's Tale". Black mane, tail, and points, red body but looked like he had been rolled in sugar. His conformation was coarse and unrefined, but he could go all day and certainly had a gusto for fences. Most people at the establishment thought he was ugly and plain, hated him, and didn't have many kind words for him. I had a special sympatico relationship with him and we could do anything. That was 50 years ago.Oh, my aching heart. I still sorely miss them. And to this day, I am still partial to "horses of a different color".😊

He sounds like a really special horse. I'd much rather have a plain horse with a big heart than a fancy one who doesn't 🙂

People don't or won't give their young horses the time they need. Too much money involved or the desire to get competing as soon as possible. Somehow the "old fashioned " approach to breaking in then turning away has been lost. Not all people of course. Winnie is doing so well and is really enjoying herself. Brava for your methods.

Love seeing hobbit again! Winnie looks fantastic and very confident after her break!

The shape she makes over the jumps is just so cute😍

Definitely greying out, look at that tail!! Looked like a really enjoyable session, and yes, you are definitely mad clipping a 5 year old and then going straight to a clinic 🤣🤣

Great to have Hobbit back!

It's such a pleasure to see Winnie getting out and having such fun! 🥰 Horse colour genetics nerd reporting in to say that still absolutely no one has any f*kn idea what affects greying- aside from a couple of strong hints on foals that they will grey out, like light hair "goggles" around their eyes, the greying process is very unpredictable and even in related horses there don't seem to be any strong trends in greying rate. (Except for one line of Arabians, because Of Course there's an exception). Having said that, Winnie-woo is definitely unusual! You'd expect A LOT more greying by 5... she's leaving it very late! 😂 Also normally (speaking very generally) a greying horse starts to get more grey hairs on their head and throat first, then maybe in their tail, mane and then the greying progresses around the body starting from the flank and elbow area. From what I can see via the video though Winnie's grey is remarkably even and isn't "originating" anywhere, not even on her head. Very interesting! I know of only one other horse greying so uniformly, and she was still WAY lighter at 3 than Winnie is now. My guess is you won't be getting any dramatic dappling from her (sorry!) but she is probably (eventually) going to turn a nice "rose grey"! (Good luck matching tack to a pink horse though hahaha)

Thank you, very interesting. I hope that she stays this nice bay/roan/grey colour for a long time as I really like it 🙂 She'll be 6 in July, will just have to wait to see if her summer coat comes through with more grey. I can definitely live with 'rose grey', anything is better than white!! 🤣🤣

@@jelphick4686 I went digging because I was curious, and apparently a particularly slow grey has been casually observed in Connemaras specifically. No actual scientific breakthroughs though, just anecdotal evidence. Quoting here, from a paper titled "Copy number expansion of the STX17 duplication in melanoma tissue from Grey horses": "some individuals in the Connemara breed carrying the Grey mutation show an extraordinarily slow rate of greying [...] These horses show relatively few signs of greying as late as by 15 years of age, and many of them never turn completely grey [...] Possible causes could be an alternative allele of Grey in these horses, or genetic variation elsewhere in the genome affecting the penetrance of Grey." Again, from what I can find, there's no actual science backing this yet. But I'd love to know if Winnie has the stallion *Canal Laurinston in her pedigree! 👀 It would be very exciting for The Nerds if so haha

Ahhhhhh this made my day!! I see so much of Jammy in her in this video 🥹🥰 also Meggy I think Simon will be very impressed with how you rode here. Feel you did everything he said when he rode her. You did an amazing job! Big future ahead for this talented girl! Xxx

Aww hobbits finally back! Also Winnie looks amazing x

Missed Hobbs so much! But I really must say, Winnie is looking absolutely spectacular! She is truly quite the mover on the flat and clearly enjoys the jumping! She looks like she would jump the moon! VERY excited to see what her eventing future holds! ❤❤

Little Winnie is such a star 😍And Awesome to see Hobs again!!

Loved the slow motion shot of you jumping the blue & yellow fence - both your and Winnie’s pony tails flicked up at the same time - very coordinated!

OMG WHO ELSE ADORES WINNIE ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ SUCH A CUTIE ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Loved seeing Hobbit back on the chan! And will never be disappointed in the super roan! 😜 Whinnie is so exciting to watch, really developing into a star like her mama.

She’s so cute look at her jump! How big is she now ?

Winne is such a beautiful horse and she did good your an amazing rider and never give up Meg. We all believe in you❤️

Oh I loved this vlog.. it felt like an old Meg vlog with Hobbit on it too! I loved the “right I’ll get a sponge.. and a treat” haha. And Winnie’s always been my fave but she has come back pingier than before - but she’s Jams so I guess she was always going to be a star! More like this - I love the epic footage but I really love the old style vlogs like this too! Xx

AAAHH i'm OBSESSED with her

@@elphick.event.ponies so smart!! and it’s the mother daughter banter that cracks me up i just love it 😭

If she’s in and out of work you should think about a saddle with an interchangeable gullet. Was a lifesaver for me when my horses was on/off lame meaning in and out of work. She’s looking absolutely fab though!!😊

She's got a brilliant little ping! Looking forward to her first eventing year this year - I think she's going to showjump very well as she really doesn't want to touch anything, does she?

Winnie is such an adorable pony! She has a great mind and her training is going well! It's like old times with Hobbit in the video! Love it! 😊

As probably your most senior fan, it made me very happy to see Hobbit again. She looked happy to be part of the vlog.

Nice to see your mum. Winnie is a great horse

This is brilliant 🤩 whinnie has so much natural talent !! I understand the saddle problem. I had a saddler tell me it would be easier to find a new horse than a saddle that fits the one I’ve got ahahahha. Luckily we did find one 😂

She does look different from before her break! So interesting to see the change and her journey as she comes along.

I always get so exited when I see your notification come up to say you’ve posted

Love the Clinicians response to you that he would take it at the horse's pace!

Winnie looks a future [grey] superstar! 🩶 Hello Hobbit!! 👋 Good videoing Pete!! 🎥

I am running a business!! You are running late 😂😂 can always count on your mum to bring you back down to earth 😂😂 love the relationship between you guys ❤

She’s looking fab 😍😍

I look up to you meg xx❤

Love your mum ❤ She's the star behind the star 🌟 great video by grant! Love the colour and jump of whinny ❤❤❤

She really is a grey! Winny has really progressed since you first got her, shes got a REAL back end, i love how she hopped over the bounces like it was nothing. 😅

My chestnut that had white ticking always clipped up white, I will die on the hill that Winnie is bay with white ticking 🤣

Really lovely riding Meg! You did such an intentional job allowing her to go forward. Learned a lot watching :)

It’s amazing to see how important turn out time is with the younger ones! She’s like a different horse!!! Well done Meg

Lovely seeing Hobbs in a vlog again!😊 Whinnie is looking fantastic. She shows so much potential and excited to see how she does eventing. Still not sure on where I stand with the grey or not debate but either way, she's a stunning colour under all her hair and she's going to look so smart all clipped and plaited up for shows👀

What a double bubble of a vlog……epic jumping Winnie, her trot over the poles were gorgeous. AND Hobs in the vlog!!!! Loved it xxxx p.s seeing you with your spark back Meg is so lovely, compared to last year xxxx

Hobbit running around after the session “I’ll get a sponge….& treat” 😂 right in the camera but also oblivious to it 😆 She’s just the best horse mama xx

As always, love your videos. I ride exclusively baby horse's so it is lovely that you share the wins, the bloopers etc. Not everyone realises that you can't always be conventional when riding young ones. Well done Meggie.

Hi Hobbit. Hobbit is beautiful Great mother. Love her in your Vlogs more than anyone else. More Hobbit ❤❤

What an amazing arena! Just added a copy to my equestrian wishlist.

Aww clever pony 🐴 Winnie 👏👏 great seeing Hobbit back on the vlogs 💜

Very exciting prospects for Winnie - she loves her jumping - keep it up. xOx

She reminds me SO MUCH of Jammy! Who's her daddy again? I can't remember. She's definitely aiming for Badders in a year or 2! 🙂

I love Hobbs!! And have missed her! And remember Pete didn't used to want to be on the camera at all! Now look at him, CEO and all that!

Lovely to see you both learning to trust each other! What a blossoming partnership 💚💜

No doubt, 100% is grey. Knew that before clipping tbf as her tail is a dead giveaway for greying. 😁

She's so Jam-shaped 😄 did she even have a sire or did you just clone her?

I love how each time her tail goes flying up into the air lol!!😊

I love you so much Meg also Winne looked amazing you always do really well when you ride ❤❤

Missed your mum and Han.

Oh man she's going to be so lovely when she builds some more muscles! You can see how excited she is and her movement!! Add some muscle and I bet that hind end will be so good!

Wilma Woo!!!! You had way too much fun! 😂 She showed up fresh and how cute was she ❤ Her perked up ears and eagerness to work… too adorable! You got a good one there Meg. Love her sass 🥰

My round boy has a Duett that fits him perfectly.😊

You look like your mom, Meg. Can definitely see the family resemblance.

I'm so excited to watch!!! ❤

Winnie's going the right way to be a superstar! 🤩 So stinking cute!!! 😊❤ Well done and loved seeing Hobbit. Ive missed her 🤗☺️

She is growing so much she looks so amazing!!!

Omg winnie is so amazing

Winnie is going to be the coolest teenagers’ horse! If you ever sell her, obviously

Great Video Meggy!!! Winnie is a cracking pony! She will make a fab eventer, her coat is beautiful with her new hair cut, she surely will grey out more as she gets older. I love a little bings when she jumps! Cant wait to see more on Winnie. xxxx

Winnie looks so fab!! And matured ❤️ always knew she was going to be a grey gal🤣 x

It's lovely to see you both, so confident and happy 😍
