[redbluealida]

such cute ears!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheHoofprint101]

You are awesome! I loved that course too!

[HorseLover15xxx]

Heyy you are an amazing rider :D love your helmet cam whats it called if you dont mind me asking and do you know around what their price ranges are? xx

[legoman642]

amazing rider well done

[MashaSobaka]

I was not blessed with the opportunity to do these sorts of things myself, and I know that helmet cams can't capture the real feeling that you experience when you're the one riding, but I love that I can have just this small glimpse into it. :) Thanks for posting!

[Hollytube7]

Makes me feel Im the one riding!! :)

[vickaaayyyXXmickaaay]

this has really helped me with my position!! and counting strides and how not to get left behind!!:)

[xoSilentStarox]

21 jumps!?!?!?! how do you memorize a course like that????

[HorseyLuv28]

What an AMAZING horse! Great ride :)

[HorseDarlin]

or how do you know wich ones are 1 2 3 4 5 so on and so forth?

[HorseDarlin]

with all of those jumps out there how do you determine wich ones to jump and in what order??

[livelovemusic1694]

@HorseDarlin If you look on the sides each jump has a number in a certain color, which corresponds to a different level/division. For example, white numbers on a red background are intermediate, and white numbers on blue are advanced, etc. Then you just follow the numbers, but it is very easy to get lost. hope that helped...

[illyannabws]

thats a pretty horse

[HeartbreakInSterIero]

Looks like a seriously lovely horse, what a fantastic ride! Well done! xxx

[AveryAndMay4ever]

Thank you for patting your horse at the end. He/she really deserved it, and you made it look so easy! Keep it up!

[KEOKOsensei]

WOW! Thank you so much for sharing this! I always wanted take my horse on something like this, but we don't have anything close to this to practice on. You and your horse are EPIC!

[swpanara12]

wow. hell of a horse and great rider. keep it up :)

[Mrsfreaky60]

[Juniorsmummy]

[meltatoo]

I want the same horse!

[estranged010]

That was just awesome! Thanks for sharing!

[ooooCHRISSIEoooo]

and i'm wondering again where do you know which obstacle comes next, because there were so much! oO

[KEOKOsensei]

@ooooCHRISSIEoooo

I would like to know too, I notice a few signs but is there a map you study before you enter the course?

[xXxChristinexXxX]

@ooooCHRISSIEoooo you walk the course before hand...then try to remember it :P

[ooooCHRISSIEoooo]

@xXxChristinexXxX my brain would collapse oO i mean, okay, i do that oto with my horse, but our routes are not that long!!

[xXxChristinexXxX]

@ooooCHRISSIEoooo haha i know! i got lost on a course once and the jump judge had to tell me where to go :P

[ooooCHRISSIEoooo]

@xXxChristinexXxX loool nice xD were that many error points? sry i don't know all these glossary words, i'm from germany xD

[xXxChristinexXxX]

@ooooCHRISSIEoooo oh it's fine i know what you mean :) i didn't get any jumping faults as i didn't cross my tracks but i got quite a few time faults haha! needless to say i didn't get placed in that one :P

[ooooCHRISSIEoooo]

@xXxChristinexXxX ouh bad :/

[maddytablet]

Wow. this is brilliant. You must be such a great rider, you head barely moves! (I'm guessing the camera is on your head ?)

[RosiKeksGinax3]

OMG!!

[Lukay95]

I love how you say thank you at the beginning, reminds me of when i was little and i use to gallop flat out round xco screaming thank you at every fence judge

[keepitnatural37488]

Wow that was very cool. Thanks for sharing!!



[DiamondNotch]

what a good boy...

[MadamePrettyPatate]

Tu es un tres bon cavalier , franchement , respect ! :O

[carriedickiex]

what a happy rider. not.

[equiniphile]

Great ride! What kind of saddle is that?

[Belerofonte64]

Congratulations, such a nice rhythm, always in stride!! Super horse and great rider!!!!

[IAmADalek]

I love how free the Horses head is and how much he obviously enjoys Cross Country.

[JennaXRawr]

Such a smooth-paced horse ! Enjoyed this very much ! Quite the accomplished rider :)

[AgilityLover14]

WOW! I never realized how long the coarse was!!!!

[horseluver832]

This is a really REALLY stupid question, but where are you looking during this?

[trennagirl]

Wow, that's a really long time to jump and run, today, I had a lot of energy, and I made a course for my friend and she was like you jump it first...I had no horse btw, and by the time I was done I was out of breathe and that was only 8 jumps!!!

[BreakingTheHabit96]

I'm sure you've already answered but where did you have the camera hooked too?

[thoroughbredsftw]

That must be one super fit and healthy horse! how often do you exercise him and for how long and what doing? also what do you feed him?

amazing riding there.. what a talented horse

[DPEquestrian1]

@thoroughbredsftw He's being worked 6 days a week, galloping 2 of them on hills. We feed Cavalor feeds. He's a very cool horse without a doubt!

[xxxligeiaxxx]

I was just wondering what type/brand of helmet camera you use? I'd love to watch my rides again from this perspective. Thank you!

[DPEquestrian1]

@xxxligeiaxxx It's a POV.HD...not a problem...

[xxbeckyluvsserenxx]

His ears were adorable :)

[Apachers911]

Wow, you are an amazing rider and your horse looks super comfortable. So many times do you see professionals with bouncy horses or them just being bad bouncy riders. You, are VERY smooth.

[horseluver832]

Does anyone know of a XC corse for beginners around NY?

[theultimatehorselova]

wow that horse is amazing!!!! you and that horse really know what your doing out there.... it didnt even look like he wanted refuse anything really great!!!!

:)

[sce331]

Thanks for posting this! I don't get to ride much when i'm at school, especially cross country, so it's fun to watch and pretend I'm out there on a course again.

[Rescuebroke]

Thanks for taking us along for the ride! That was great. :-)

[kreabis]

hey was this in canada quebec bromont, because i go and watch the showjumping, dressage and cross country there, i seem to recognize the land, so if u could reply it would be awesome! XD

[DPEquestrian1]

@kreabis This was shot right there during the June 2011 event thx

[kreabis]

@DPEquestrian1 thnx and u and ur horse did amazing! hopefully i will be able to do cross country some day! XD

[34Pippy]

@DPEquestrian1 May I ask what you placing and percent was? He is so beautiful and what a wonderful ride. I have always loved xc, but my dad was always afraid of me getting hurt really bad, but thanx for the experience though.



[DPEquestrian1]

@34Pippy Not sure what you mean by percent, but this is a very successful horse. I have detailed info on results on my site dpequestrian(dot)com/bio If properly prepared xc is very safe, go out and do it!

[horseluver832]

WOW!!! so much stamina!!

[Westerngirl96]

great ride! love your horse x33

which place did you make?

[bizzielizzie398tl]

*HIS sorry :D

[bizzielizzie398tl]

beautiful horse, hid twitchy ears made my day!!!!

[D0N0tJudgeMe]

Wow. My horse may not be a jumper, but if I even attempted to ride him in an area like that, just walking around, he'd have a panic attack every 5 strides or so. It always makes me happy to see a horse doing something like this and be so obviously calm and confident, even if the only thing I could really see of the horse during the ride was his ears and neck. You can tell a lot from that little bit of the horse, though. I don't know much about jumping, but that looked like a very well done ride.

[Guinnie]

great video

[pr3typ0ny]

What i notice is the amount of collection you get from him going into the jump after the gallup. Top notch dear sir.

[XxGiveMeMalicexX]

Lovely jumper, the both of you. I'm a show jumper so I'm not really familiar with cross-country jumping but could you tell me how you know which jumps to go to when you approach those clusters of jumps? I've always wanted to know! haha.

[ponymad12345678]

i love ow the horse is always listening to you:)

[alinmak]

I really enjoyed watching your course. Well done!

good luck to you both!

[puggieTHEfish4438]

<3 cross country <3

[JumpingIsFlying]

That horse must have some stamina! lol luv this vid

[Lori4Saru]

I never truly realised how fast x-country is. I am an avid eventer, altho my "horse" is a 14.1h quarter horse cross so when we gallop it feels fast, but it is probly no where near this speed XD

[HorsesDogs123]

those jumps are really narrow and to all those riders out there who compete how do you remember the course???!!! lovely cross country course though, the saddle was gorgeous so was your position, i love your horse btw, thanks for posting this! xxx:D

[honeyshucks0709]

I love this video, i also like the fact that you haven't put music over the top so we can enjoy those hoofbeats! Thank you, I have been persuaded to buy a helmet camera! What one are you using?

[dooenn]

good practice for me to count strides

[BethanHorseMad]

I bet it took you a while to walk the course?! :) and how did you remember which jump to do(apart from the markers on then) because they all look the same :L

[DPEquestrian1]

@BethanHorseMad It probably takes a little over an hour to walk a course like that. As for the jumps, it's easiest if you memorize the path and as you approach the cluster of jumps you'll instantly recognize where you are. We would generally walk the course three times, or until you can visualize every turn and jump in your mind. Visualization is key!

[maleficentgirl3734]

What was the grey-ish terrain? Surely it wasn't road.....

[EP2504]

@maleficentgirl3734 It was probably (thought I cant be 100% sure), just all-weather track, sort of like the stuff a manege floor is made of. Most x country courses have them so the course can still be ridden no matter what the weather is like. And its probably in odd places along the floor from where jumps used to be. For a split seconds when I first saw it, I thought it was ice :L

Hope I helped x

[maleficentgirl3734]

@EP2504 Thanks, helped a lot! I don't know much about xc riding, so this helped a ton!

[Horsepassion4life]

Really nice ride!!!!

[JesuscantergallopTB]

How lovely!

[breyerhorselover1100]

wow that was really cool!!! :D

[icehorse91]

i heard that you souldnt take the horses saddle off right away because their muscles may cramp up becasue they go from super hot underneath it to cool. u leave it on for a couple minites and walk them and offer water and stuff and then take it off and pour lots of cold water...

[klawheart]

@icehorse91 I've worked a bit with Jan Byyny and she had us take the saddle off right away; I think at this level of exertion the concern is getting the horse's TPR down and not the remote possibility of muscle cramps. I've been eventing for several years and the past 2 at the upper levels and I've never seen a horse cramp at finish. Besides, lowering a horse's body temp is a lot harder than you think. They don't go from 103 to 99 just because you dump a bucket of water on them.

[icehorse91]

@klawheart yaa that makes way more sense haha!! if i were a horse i would want that thing off me asap!!!! i forget where i heard that anyway...

[purdyjemma]

What camera is this x

[HorseSafety]

What I would like to know is: were you riding at a canter or gallup?

One hot, amazing horse. I wish detail on the athlete here {the horse}

[DPEquestrian1]

@HorseSafety I would have to say nearly all would be at a gallop, a few of the combinations would be closer to a normal canter speed. He (the horse) is very cool indeed. His name is Camerlingo, around the barn he's known as Tom or Clancy he's a 10 or 11 yr old, I can't remember off the top of my head, Dutch bred horse. He's 17.1 and a pretty sensitive, very talented type.

[TheTarynSomers]

This was amazing to watch! Thank you so much for posting it. I'm thinking of getting into XC and this certainly was worthwhile to watch!

[baileydani350]

Ohhhhhh my goodness i loved the saddle what kind?!

[DPEquestrian1]

@baileydani350 It is a Devoucoux Ioldy...it's a great saddle, I use it primarily for XC. I split using it and a Chiberta for SJ. I can't say enough about them...

[icehorse91]

@DPEquestrian1

offff course its a devoucoux!!! ahhh they are the nicest everrrrr !!

[roberta4899]

Amazing ride. I saw you were in 2nd -- why did you WD?

[oraclepw]

What's the typical distance covered in an event like this? I loved watching the horse's ears :-)

[DPEquestrian1]

@oraclepw The total distance was 3640 meters ridden at an average of 520 m/m. I had a GPS on for this ride, the slowest we went was 13 mph and the fastest portion was 27 mph.
