    Acey is secretly my favorite pony, so I'm really glad it was only mild colic and he's feeling better!
    I feel spoiled with such a long vlog! Thanks for working so hard, it is always appreciated. ❤

    Colic seems to be striking the UK pretty badly right now! Our poor Frankie got ill with it last Sunday, he was lying in the stable and the yard owner thought he was resting so took him a hack and he looked like he was about to fall so had to run him home and all he wanted to do was roll, it’s taken 3 horses in our area in the last few weeks and luckily the vet got out here within 25 minutes and he’s ok, so glad people were around the yard, it was some sort of red worm thing apparently, all the horses have been treated and Frankie was as right as rain within an hour or so, went out his first hack since on Friday

    I know you work very hard, Meg, but wow, what an eventful week. So very glad things worked out with Ace; I found myself quite upset along with you. And the Spoga Horse event looked amazing. You are so beautiful and talented -- I hope more Equine Orgs realize this too and hire you to represent them. I'm a big fan of Lucy's channel too; and I have to say her outfit was stellar -- uber elegant. And all your fashion choices were fantastic too. You two are so fun together. Thank you for taking us along for your very busy, crazy week. You do run a lot -- lol.

    Thanks for an interesting vlog. As a (slightly) older, ex-horsey lassie, I'm loving reliving my teenage dreams through your work - and grateful I never had to do them myself as jumping is scary as heck to me!! I wanted to say it's great to see a RUclipsr who isn't pretentious and who is a great role model for young and old. I love the enthusiasm, sincerity and fun you give in your videos.
    I know eventing is your main thing, but I'd love it if you did a series on different equestrian sports/activities - a bit like how your Iceland trip explored a different way of being with horses. I loved side saddle riding so much as a teenager, it would be great to see that featured. There's also western riding, endurance, driving... Maybe even teaming up with a Paralympic rider? Maybe Vlogmas 2024?!

    I laughed when Dee took off up the canter track 😂 Reminds me of my boy Carlin (nearly 17 but still a monkey!). When you said “Oh no, she’s bucking!” I knew exactly how you felt, but isn’t it funny how we laugh when it’s happening? Carlin goes “boink, boink, boink” 🤣 I’m 60 this year and still loving life with the ponios, I must be mad! So happy Ace is on the mend, terrifying when they colic. Good luck with your presentations, you’ll smash it Meg. Oh, and finally, Pete coming to the yard to be with Ace…he’s fully immersed into the crazy world of horses now. Once you’re in, there’s no escape xx

    My trainer and I gave a name to when ponies stand all by themselves. We call it standing pony hunter. My horse just stands there when I move jumps for my lesson. It is really funny because I could leave the arena and he wouldn’t care. My pony will literally stand in the same spot for hours if you ask him to. Love you Meg ❤ and great job at standing pony hunter Jammy!

    I’m so glad Ace is ok, colic is genuinely one of the scariest things a horse owner can experience, in the past few years I have had 2 of my horses be taken because of it 🕊 as well as a mild colic last week and it just makes me feel sick at the thought of colic claiming another innocent life, sorry that was a bit depressing but Acey is such a strong boy and I’m so glad to see him doing well. And I would just like to add that you are such an inspiration to me in so many ways, you have had such an impact on my life in the best way possible, as a younger kid I always thought I wanted to show horses forever and I was petrified of a x rail, but you have given me so much confidence jumping and made me so determined to event now, although I know I’m never being to be as amazing as you are I really hope that I can one day produce my own horses and event them 💗
    Btw one of my horses is the same as Jam, he just stands there watching while I set up jumps 😂

    A lack of fluids is also a big cause of colic in the winter as just like us we don't drink as much in the cold winter.
    I give my two 2 buckets of water in the winter one of them is flavoured water! Done this for the past 2yrs and never had colic since, my mare luv's mint flavoured water where all I do is melt a packet of sugar free strong mints in a litre of boiling water then pour it into the bucket of normal water. The gelding luv's apple flavoured water and all I do is get a cartoon of fresh apple juice and pour it in his water.
    There second bucket of water they have is just plain normal water so they have the choice.
    I also dissolve a piece of salt lick into a bucket of water once a week to make sure there still getting enough salts, this also prevents the water from freezing when it's below 0'c out there.

    The exact same thing happened to me and the horse I look after , i went down to check on them (there's also a shetland pony) and she wasn't eating the food we gave her , she was sweaty and laying down, (she never lays down so when I saw her on the floor I knew something was wrong) I called her owner , she got the vet out and thankfully it was only a mild bit of colic (she was trying eat the feed that we left on the field floor while waiting for the vet 🤣) she's fine now thank goodness
