Final Round, Sydney World Cup Showjumping Easter 2007

[souleaterr4242564]

ahaha i love how the music just continues

[horsefanatic1234]

i swear- some horses have invisible wings! ;]

[Tokiohotel192]

they just make it look so easy but seriously this is hard effort put in

[missdaniih]

both riders/horses jumped wonderfully, these jumps arent as easy as they look! the ring is pretty big and the obstacles are far apart, so they do need a bit of speed, but not for the jumps themselves but b/c of the time, i expect.

loved the flying lead changes :D

[horses24rockduh]

i wonder wat the horses r thinking when there in shows and jump BIG??

anywho nice vid

[iceygirl676]

@horses24rockduh

i know, those things are HUGE!!! they're probably liike YEAHH!!!! 50 foot high jumps!!!

[DeceptiveSTAR]

This is amazing.

I wanna be like that someday.

That butterfly jump is pretty.

[oOladedaOo]

gorgeous jumping! but does anyone else realize the video goes black for the last minute or so?

[ponylover333]

yea... my screen went black also.. i thought that was werid

[oOladedaOo]

oh ok good!! i thought it was just me

[DeceptiveSTAR]

The music was probably longer than the initial clip and the person owning this video hadn't fixed it.

[NcklCrkRcks]

my god, the horses make it look like nothing, it's beautiful... They are so graceful, even when their riders look like crap... I love horses !!!!

[glimmerrr]

I saw Laurie Lever and Ashleigh Drossel Dan jump at the Toowoomba world cup, it was beautiful!

[YourBassGirl]

oh this is very very hard i training horse riding and i know how hard is jumping over barrier. I will go on contest i dont know wen, but i know that i will be scared.

[howsecrazy]

i agree with milkchocolateangel u r so write! i can clear a 3 or 4foot at trot so you don't need speed but you need to be at least trotting!! balance balance balance lol

[FeiLunHairox112]

Errrr didn'y anyone teach you that it's bad for the horse?? sure I can prob too but it's very damaging for the horse...

If you speed up then it makes it alot easier for the horse to clear it

[howsecrazy]

we all have are own opinions... i cant b asked 4 an arguement ... that just sad.... i can see both points of the argumentx

[PrettylittlexLiar]

i agree with Cabogurl07 and almostmegan. a horse doesn't speed just scope and impulsion. people just get everything confused because they don't know what they are talking about. ( im not talking about anyone in particular.) =)

[jonasl0vex3]

lol your exactly rite.

they dont always know what there talking about, and they just have to act like they no everything and are 100% rite about what the topic is.

lol.

but yah, i agree with you [prettylittlexliar]

[sweetchicks15]

well thats wierd considering world cup height is 150cm and jump off 160 cm

[Smiffy2431987]

These jumps are huge,i went to the World Cup qualifier at Sale in victoria and went round the course (when the audience could) and they were about 20cms taller then me and im 164cms tall!!! So i understand why they're jumping the way they are...the spreads are very wide aswell,i couldnt touch them at full arm span when standing between them

[Resiliance93]

and spring lol

[CharzJumperxLover95]

that horse got stuck over the jumps due 2 lack of speed.a lot

[Cabogurl07]

What the horse needs is impulsion. As long as they can get the power from behind, they don't need the speed. It just so happens that some people think that speed equals scope and power.

[Milkchocolateangel]

thats not true, you dont need speed for jumps, its all about balance, and precision.

[XvixXtheXrockerX]

Impulsion is not speed, impulsion is the desire to go forward; not neccesarily at high speeds, just the DESIRE.

Once you have impulsion, you almost automatically get scope and power.

[horsecrazy96]

what the heck!! at 2:14 it goes black....?...

[SarahJumper107]

haha i say that 2 and was like wtf lol

[horsecrazy96]

omg at 59 seconds the rider is like ON the horses neck, OVER THE SADDLE!!!! that is sooo dangerous, and his legs are like touching the hind legs!!

[smashco]

oh yes, admonish that terrible WORLD-CLASS rider. And wait... are you suggesting that jumping gigantic fences on a 1200-lb. flight animal is dangerous? lol

[horsecrazy96]

you zoom in and out the camera like almost every jump... its kinda annoying. (hard to focus on the video)

[ride2livexlive2ride]

pause at :59 sec...uhg horrible just horrible...i mean aren't you supposed to equitation before jumpers lol

[Troedyx]

I think he needs to lay like that. Because the jumps are to high for sitting straighter. But I agree.. it looks strange.

[ride2livexlive2ride]

well on take off you are supposed to keep your calf firm and forward and keep your seat over the saddle and have your chest flat and on the horses kneck. but hes a guy rider so what do yo expect LOL :)

[Equistar9392]

your chest isnt suppossed to be on the horses neck lol. if it was you would have no balance when your horse lands for the fence. you hands should be resting along the horses crest and your chest should be about 5 or 6 inches away from your horses neck (it depends on the persons level of riding)

[monkeyshines95]

at this hieght, you shouldnt be more than 3.5 inches away. most showjumpers doing this height will most likely have their chest touch their horse at least 12 times in one round. and they're athletic enough to get their balance back before thier horse lands.

just thought id mention that.

[XvixXtheXrockerX]

...Only hte United States has the whole hunters/equitation riders. Almost everywhere else, they jump what we (Americans) call jumpers.

At this level, it's not about prettyness, it's about effectiveness, and both of these riders are pretty effective (hence the reason they are jumping this high and making it look easy)...

[meoweagle]

is this in aus. im australian i think they have really nice horses there!!!

[hipersonhello]

god job making the vid..but i think that coarse looks screwed up..=P

[NORGSabrina]

Very good! But try holding the camera still.

[thatgirlx1]

amazing horses jumping that height =) ma horse would probably try to find a way underneath it...=\ lol =D great video x x ~!

[snwindsor]

Man I am gonna have to post some of my footage of my b grader jumping 1.8m in the six bar event in dandenong show! That was huge compared to this but only one fence,

[aisamazing]

that is awesome!

[breakingthehabit2008]

OMG I was there that day! I fell in love with the grey! AHHHHH AWESOME

[erinburgess93]
