@cecilia200879 Why? Most horses I know love cross country. It can put you off if all you see is on the internet though- the ugly jumps do get more "press" then the nice ones lol I may be a little biased though, being an eventer and all
I love how in the first pictures of the drop into water everyone is so intense and concentrated and then comes William Fox Pitt looking uber relaxed and chilled out.
the asian guy with the grey horse at 3.57 he fell off in the water didn't he? or near the water, and i also believe that they said his horse was an anglo arab? you don't see many of them competing at that level!
@alltheovers Sometimes, but once you're in the start box, adrenaline kicks in and all you think about is getting around quick and inside the time. Finishing a XC course is the best thing in the entire world!
when i jump i laugh so if ya hear a girl laugh in a comp then its me when i first jumped my mum said it looked like ive been doing it for years!!!GOOD SONG!
im just sayin, i have a mare who came off the track, and for dressage, she pins her ears and argues, but when you go out on xc, and point her towards a jump, she pricks her ears and starts poppin her head up and down, ha, you can tell all these horses love it!
If cross country took the jumps where the horse goes into water, then I'd be all for it. Don't you think it is stupid to jump into water that your horse doesn't know how deep it is? Would you do that on your own, not on a horse? NO WAY!
I know megan jones in person :) shes my friends mums boss, my friends mum is her manager ;D and my instructer is her student. I've also been to her farm and pat her horse! so cute a awesome! her cross country horse is sick as!
Yes, the sport is quite hard on the horses, but most of them LOVE cross country. I know it looks like the riders pull on the horse's mouth, but you have to keep a connection in order to stay in control. Horses at this level are running flat out, and if you don't have a connection to balance before a jump, it could get very unsafe.
Well would you rather have long reins and pull on your horses mouth so you have control or have no control at all? My trainer has me ride with different rein legnth all the time so I know what its like. Sure a shorter rein would be easier to control the horse, but CC is a TOTALLY diffferent type if riding so dont judge people :)
well a lot of the time the reins arent actually straining against the horses mouth, they are just tight enough to be straight and therefore look like it. and they are doing a thing called a quick release as they go over the jump so it looks as if they are pulling constantly but they arent :)
Sorry i dont know everyone's background on here. But in America that word would be pronounced mean with the wrong spelling. I will not make that mistake again, sorry.
wow tht was really good im hoping ill be ble to go in the olympics to i have a horse already but im only 11 so ya but great video and love ur horse it cute plus u deserve an olympic gold keep it up
It's definitely as bad as it is in America. NBC did a horrible job and, mostly & especially in the dressage, left out alot of good competitors including American competitors.
Sorry aber wenn du meinst das ,dass tierquälerei ist naja dann hoffe ich du reitest nicht weil dann sind alle sportarten mit pferden QUÄLEREI weil pferde können sowohl in der dressur als auch im springen misshandelt werden..... alles hat sein für und wieder...aber sowas von sich zu geben ist komplett unreif wie kann man anderen menschen wünschen das sie sich verletzen?? ich bitte dich........
Ich bin voll Deiner Meinung wenn es darum geht,dass alle"Sportarten"mit Pferden Quälerei ist!Nämlich dann wenn es um Ansehen und Geld geht.Dann hören nämlich die Pferde auf als Lebewesen zu existieren und werden wie Maschinen behandelt.Und das ist ja nun mal bei den großen Turnieren in jeder Sparte bekannt,dass da die Pferde "funktionieren" müssen um jeden Preis.Ich habe selber ein Pferd,aber würde sowas nie von ihm verlangen.Einfach nur Abartig was die mit den Pferden machen!
also dich versteh ich nicht! ich reit selber ( auch international) Vielseitigkeit und das hat meiner Meinung nach Überhaupt nichts mit Tierqälerei oder sonst irgenetwas zu tun. wer Vielseitigkeit reitet hat eine Beziehung zu seinem Pferd und behandelt es nicht wie eine Maschiene,denn ich kenne kein Pferd das ohne Vertrauen zu seinem Reiter springt und schon garnicht im Busch!!!
Und übrigens denk mal drüber nach wer hier unreif ist? Ich oder die die von ihren Pferden verlangen sich die Beine zu brechen für so einen Mist. Deshalb wünsche ich mir, dass sie sich selber auch mal die Beine brechen um zu wissen was das bedeuet! Auge um Auge- Zahn um Zahn sozusagen! Ist meine Meinung!
Schrecklich was die Ihren Pferden da antun. Das hat nichts mehr mit Sport zu tun und schon gar nicht mit Tierliebe. Das ist Quälerei. Hoffentlich verletzen sich noch viele von denen (Reiter), vielleicht hören sie dann endlich auf mit solchen Extremsportarten!

I, too, was disappointed by the lack of equestrian coverage on TV. I'm in the midwest of the U.S. and the equestrian coverage was poorly done in my opinion.
please, if u agree or disagree with my bellow comment leave me a comment on my page.
not trying to start an argument
i just want other peoples opinion on it.
x
ps
i do know what i am talking about when i said the bellow comment
i ride, affiliated eventing and am aiming for 2012 on my new ride. and my dad trains national hint horses. so please don't think what i am saying is made up or stupid
i agree with this comment whosinthebag. I have been to events & have heard people saying stuff like "oh you won the dressage, you'll probably win the whole comp now..." its so annoying when there are 2 other phases besides dressage in eventing & the dressage is considered 'better' than showjumping & cross country.
i was beggining to think i was the only one in eventing hu liked x country
i'm not saying dressage shouldn't be a factor i just think that x country should have more of an influence upon the results and even though no one made the x country time
it made the most significant diffrence, making it far more exciting
the olymipics was a turning point in modern eventing
for a long tiime, and in my opinion, a too longer time eventing has been to dressage orientated, and the x country has had no other part to play in the competition but as tradition.
how ever in this olymipics although the time was almost impossible to make, the x country had a real dessicive role to play
how can people claim to love a sport when at the most sort after event in the world, they critise it for being to fast
i do agree that flat work is the basis and most important in starting all horses young and old
i just feel after everyone comlaining before the olympics that x country was not quiet so dessicive that the moment it does become the most important part people complain about it, due to the fast time
These horses probably not. They do it so much!Horses are flone in crate like things. They are just large enough for the horse to stand up, they can't move around but it is still padded. It is kinda like a trailor.
that was great the only prob is they r makin the cross country fences so dangerous now i heard that it is all so more peeps will watch and it is really hurting the horses and riders
I dont think they're making them harder for audience appeal. The fences have become more technical because the quality of riding has improved. The problem is, if 50% come in double clear on XC, it becomes a dressage competition (which no one really wants). But the increased technicality means less room for error, thus increased likelihood of falls. I dont think is has to do with spectator appeal, despite what some of the recent shows on tv have said.
Not really. There are alot of things making it safer for horse and rider. Like frangibal safty pins, better XC vests, medical ID armbands, XC greese for horses laegs, and alot of other things. This is a big problem with the USEA.
I'm very sorry about your horse! But it is the riders fault. Riders take cross country to fast and this dosn't allow the horse to have time to judge where to take off and land. If they start making jumps out of breakable materials in the word of one of the olympians "it's just making the stupid riders smarter" letting them get away with things. So they are doing things to make it safe, but it is mostly rider errors killing and injuring them and their horses
that was not my sisters fault that she lost the horse.!!!!
it was a freak accident
he had done 3* b4!! and it was the easiest jump on the course
my sister wouldnt do something he couldnt do
and he wouldnt put himself thru somthing like that. because, his main priotry was his rider
he took his like over hers..than it was himeself, he didnt do anything that he thought e couldnt do. if he thought a jump was going to turn out bad he wouldnt jump it.
OMG! I diddn't say anything about your sister pushing her horse! I did not say that it was you or your family! I am so sorry that you thought that! Please don't cuse me out! I was talking mostly about C*** riders! please don't cuse me out
It is a special tape that is supposed to facilitate nasal passages open (not sucked in as exertion increases) - You'll often see football players/rugby players wear (a much smaller!) version over the top of their noses... "FlairStrips" is one brand...
X0XCleoX0X its duck-tape underneath the grackle to stop it from rubbing the horses nose when out xc and to help them breath or summin. thats what i heard soo not my fault if im wrong buh its duck-tape.
its probably too late now but at least here in america I was able to watch all of the horse events live over the internet via nbcolympics (dot) com
and they had pretty amazing coverage on the TV, with multiple stations showing various events live and in prerecorded. Its pretty much the first time ever there has been such good coverage that I can remember.
You can still see all of the videos on the website if you're interested in seeing them
Oxygen network has been showing all the equestrian events, all last week from 6-8 pm every night. Only two days left, Monday the 18th is Team Show Jumping Final, Tuesday the 19th is Individual Dressage Final. Both nights start at 6pm, EST in the US. It's been fantastic coverage.
Finally for once Danish television actually broadcast everything from all 3 disciplines. And since most of it is at late evening in Hong Kong it is in afternoon here. But I really feel for all of you who can't see it. Usually Danish television doesn't show anything, so I know how it is. Didn't see anything from WEG. Seems to be general problem? :(
There were two pictures that the horses feet weren't even touching the ground. Channel USA had the eqestrian on it, but I don't what time it was on or if it was that event before the cross country. I'm going try to get MSN to load up a video. So far I haven't had any success. Loved the photos.
the only equestrian I have since this olympics was a quick update on at some odd hour in the morning, when by chance I happened to go into McDonalds and see it on a break from school. I've seen more table tennis, soccer and beach volleyball than I have the horses. Why are some of these team sports even in the olympics?!
This time diff is a drag...I can't stay awake past 11pm to see anything good. Volleyball, no thanks!! At least when the olympics is in a country less than a 9 hour time diff we can watch the equine coverage at odd day hours. BAAAAAAAA!
yeah you only have to read the NZ horsey forums to know tha we are unhappy with the Amount of coverage :( At least TVNZ are allowing us to watch what they do play online though :)
Primes (channel 7s) coverage has been absolutely terrible - why do we have to see every single swimming heat but are bloody lucky to see the Australian riders compete! Let alone any of the other countries riders. Primes own online survey shows that the equestrian events are peoples most favourite olympic sport! And the younger commentator is absolutely awful!! Get him off!!
The horses a super fit and rarely hurt themselves.

i'm not saying dressage shouldn't be a factor i just think that x country should have more of an influence upon the results and even though no one made the x country time
it made the most significant diffrence, making it far more exciting

i wanna say
the olymipics was a turning point in modern eventing
for a long tiime, and in my opinion, a too longer time eventing has been to dressage orientated, and the x country has had no other part to play in the competition but as tradition.
how ever in this olymipics although the time was almost impossible to make, the x country had a real dessicive role to play
how can people claim to love a sport when at the most sort after event in the world, they critise it for being to fast
whosinthebag 3 years ago
dressage is most important b/c without it, you willl have undertrained horses out their breaking their necks.
Cross country is meant to be fast, but accidents happen. Why do you think they are add x country pins to the hard jumps? Safety first.
But to attack the sport, riders, or the horses is a bit much, considering in eventing we try very hard to keep both horses and riders safe.

i think u misunderstood me
i do agree that flat work is the basis and most important in starting all horses young and old
i just feel after everyone comlaining before the olympics that x country was not quiet so dessicive that the moment it does become the most important part people complain about it, due to the fast time

are you serious!? i didn't know you could actually fly a horse anywhere! don't they freak out during take off?
VegHead94 3 years ago
These horses probably not. They do it so much!Horses are flone in crate like things. They are just large enough for the horse to stand up, they can't move around but it is still padded. It is kinda like a trailor.

that was great the only prob is they r makin the cross country fences so dangerous now i heard that it is all so more peeps will watch and it is really hurting the horses and riders
gymnast12115 3 years ago
I dont think they're making them harder for audience appeal. The fences have become more technical because the quality of riding has improved. The problem is, if 50% come in double clear on XC, it becomes a dressage competition (which no one really wants). But the increased technicality means less room for error, thus increased likelihood of falls. I dont think is has to do with spectator appeal, despite what some of the recent shows on tv have said.

Not really. There are alot of things making it safer for horse and rider. Like frangibal safty pins, better XC vests, medical ID armbands, XC greese for horses laegs, and alot of other things. This is a big problem with the USEA.

none of these things help!
I lost a horse out xc Just 2 weeks ago,
riding at 1* level, the sport needs to change and stop killing and injuring horses and riders
falloutboymuch 3 years ago
I'm very sorry about your horse! But it is the riders fault. Riders take cross country to fast and this dosn't allow the horse to have time to judge where to take off and land. If they start making jumps out of breakable materials in the word of one of the olympians "it's just making the stupid riders smarter" letting them get away with things. So they are doing things to make it safe, but it is mostly rider errors killing and injuring them and their horses
StormValleyStables 3 years ago
FUCK YOU!
that was not my sisters fault that she lost the horse.!!!!
it was a freak accident
he had done 3* b4!! and it was the easiest jump on the course
my sister wouldnt do something he couldnt do
and he wouldnt put himself thru somthing like that. because, his main priotry was his rider
he took his like over hers..than it was himeself, he didnt do anything that he thought e couldnt do. if he thought a jump was going to turn out bad he wouldnt jump it.
so shut your freaking mouth!

It is a special tape that is supposed to facilitate nasal passages open (not sucked in as exertion increases) - You'll often see football players/rugby players wear (a much smaller!) version over the top of their noses... "FlairStrips" is one brand...

its probably too late now but at least here in america I was able to watch all of the horse events live over the internet via nbcolympics (dot) com
and they had pretty amazing coverage on the TV, with multiple stations showing various events live and in prerecorded. Its pretty much the first time ever there has been such good coverage that I can remember.
You can still see all of the videos on the website if you're interested in seeing them

Oxygen network has been showing all the equestrian events, all last week from 6-8 pm every night. Only two days left, Monday the 18th is Team Show Jumping Final, Tuesday the 19th is Individual Dressage Final. Both nights start at 6pm, EST in the US. It's been fantastic coverage.

Finally for once Danish television actually broadcast everything from all 3 disciplines. And since most of it is at late evening in Hong Kong it is in afternoon here. But I really feel for all of you who can't see it. Usually Danish television doesn't show anything, so I know how it is. Didn't see anything from WEG. Seems to be general problem? :(

There were two pictures that the horses feet weren't even touching the ground. Channel USA had the eqestrian on it, but I don't what time it was on or if it was that event before the cross country. I'm going try to get MSN to load up a video. So far I haven't had any success. Loved the photos.

the only equestrian I have since this olympics was a quick update on at some odd hour in the morning, when by chance I happened to go into McDonalds and see it on a break from school. I've seen more table tennis, soccer and beach volleyball than I have the horses. Why are some of these team sports even in the olympics?!

This time diff is a drag...I can't stay awake past 11pm to see anything good. Volleyball, no thanks!! At least when the olympics is in a country less than a 9 hour time diff we can watch the equine coverage at odd day hours. BAAAAAAAA!

Primes (channel 7s) coverage has been absolutely terrible - why do we have to see every single swimming heat but are bloody lucky to see the Australian riders compete! Let alone any of the other countries riders. Primes own online survey shows that the equestrian events are peoples most favourite olympic sport! And the younger commentator is absolutely awful!! Get him off!!
