06:50

[Quest4Champ]

@ILuvMeg111 I was flying :D I had the biggest bruise from that!

[breyergirl247]

why weere u tryin g to tie your crop to your saddle at 11:23 if u wherent what were u doing and i love your vids i subed plz sud back it would mean the world to me thx

[Quest4Champ]

@breyergirl247 Yeah, I actually ran out of space at the end of the video, what you seen at the end was actually the beginning :D I just figured it needed an ending via the magic of editing :D I normally tie my crop off when I don't need it :D

[TheBigGuava]

Wow! you rescued them from slaughter! So inspirational! xxx

[Quest4Champ]

@TheBigGuava Thanks :D I appreciate your support!!

[JustBecause110]

@Quest4Champ haha I went on my first Hunter Pace today- Talc's first, too. It was at a stable I rode at for 6 years, so I knew most of the trails good. At the beginning, me and my friend were both at the front, horses going perfect, but we went into this open field and they galloped (One involuntarily- they just kicked their horses) and 1 person was left behind (The "Leader" ) I was circling Talc and trying to get him to calm down and he tripped to his knees- almost rolled onto me.

[XxJustGoOverItxX]

Amazing video! Sorry for da late comment, i've been really busy! Haven't been online in a while. :) Yu guys did great! LOVED that vid! :) You toook the fall really well, I would hav defneentaly fallen off as well. :P Looked lik u had an amazing time, and thts all tht counts! Great job!! :)<3

[Quest4Champ]

@XxJustGoOverItxX Hey :D Thanks for the comment, I don't mind late at all :D I've actually been having some computer issues this past week, in addition Gam was really sore halfway through this ride. He ended up lame all this week. It's been a tough one :D The ride was indeed a blast, and I can't wait to do it again! :D

[XxJustGoOverItxX]

@Quest4Champ Aww, hope Game gets better! :) You guys have come so far, and will go even further! :) I've been really busy, barely making any vids! :'( But a new 17hh horse came to my barn a few weeks ago and i'm gona ride him for the first time on Saturday! It's a big deal for me cos i'm really really really tall and i've been wating for a horse this big to come to the barn! And now, he's here! I hear he's lazy, but i'd rather hav lazy than hyper! :P Wish me luck! if i like him i mite lease him!

[JustBecause110]

1:23 What were you about to do with your crop? Tie it to your saddle?

[Quest4Champ]

@JustBecause110 I had recorded so much footage (Over 4 hours) that I didn't get the end of the ride on film...That was actually the beginning of the paper chase :D I did tie my crop to the saddle :D Good catch!

[JustBecause110]

5:38 Geez! It's like they were trying to kill you or soething! xD

[Quest4Champ]

@JustBecause110 Yeah, She was having a hard time controlling her horse :D It happened a few times, but everyone survived :D No harm no foul :D

[JustBecause110]

@Quest4Champ later into the Hunter Pace where there was a huge stream with rocks slanting down. The stream was 5ft across. They jumped it, and ditched me and one other girl. My friend was gently trying to get her horse to go over it- I got closer with Talc. My old instructor came up behind us that I used to work with my dads' friends' QH (Awkward) and I let them pass. The other horse went over and Then Talc followed after- galloping up the steep hill so much my helmet visor was hitting his neck.

[IcePonyGoddess]

what video cam are you using?

[Quest4Champ]

@IcePonyGoddess Hey :D Thanks for the comment! I'm actually using a rig that a friend setup for me. Sorry I don't know any more about it.

[IcePonyGoddess]

The cute gaited pinto was not having a fun day...huh? Love the video cam. :O)

[Quest4Champ]

@IcePonyGoddess not at all :D Thanks for the comment :D I had a blast, but Gam was really sore, and wound up lame :( he's finally sound again :D

[NixNax11]

That's awesome! His yawns are adorable!

[Quest4Champ]

@NixNax11 :D Thanks! My heart melts when I see that face! XD

[TheAhkenaten1]

I must say I enjoyed your video immensely! I am a season rider who has not ridden in a while and watching this gave me the rush I used to feel when I rode and jumped obstacles! I'd love to do it again! Thanks for posting!

[Quest4Champ]

@TheAhkenaten1 That is so great to hear! I know the feeling, when It's bad weather and I can't ride, I put on a video, and I get that rush too! Thanks for the great comment, and your support! :D

[RidgewayStables]

this video is so cool :)

[Quest4Champ]

@RidgewayStables Thank you so much :D I appreciate the support! We had a blast!

[tkl4014]

[Quest4Champ]

@tkl4014 Thanks :D Glad you liked it! I can't wait for next year :D

[KiraandHarre]

well done! looks like you had fun and good that you kept jumping after your fall! :)x

[Quest4Champ]

@KiraandHarre Thanks! :D It was a blast! I found out later, he was getting a little cranky as he was starting to get sore.

[Ilovehorses24u]

[Quest4Champ]

@Ilovehorses24u Hey, Thanks for the comment - It's usually whatever I've got playing on my Ipod that day :D

[froglegs1]

I was riding down a steep hill last week and my horse fell and we rolled to the bottom....ugghh lol

Glad ur ok! :)

[Quest4Champ]

@froglegs1 WOW! I hope you both are ok! :D That sounds like a very bad fall!

[Lordsangels03]

is the pinto a walker? XDD i saw him pacing :D i love ur horses!! this looks like soo much fun haha sorry bout the fall DX

[Quest4Champ]

@Lordsangels03 Yep, he's a walker :D Thanks for the awesome comment :D It was a blast, If you ever get the chance to go to a paper chase, DO IT! :D Falling is part of the game... It happens :D I'm just glad I didn't hit the jump harder :D

[Lordsangels03]

@Quest4Champ np haha i have walkers and i love them that horse is soo pretty!! and I want to haha i just got hooked on your videos this morning!! yea Im just gald your ok :}

[krystenhagedorn]

0:13 your horse is WAY too cute (:

[Quest4Champ]

@krystenhagedorn haha - He is too cute for words :D look at that tongue :D

[horsesofcourses1]

My question for you is " Have you ever ridden Western?"

[Quest4Champ]

@horsesofcourses1 Awesome :D I'll add this to the list, and it'll be in an upcoming video :D

[horsesofcourses1]

@Quest4Champ Cool!

[walk4trot2canter3]

What a blast!!!

[Quest4Champ]

@walk4trot2canter3 Glad you liked it :D It certainly was!

[appalosahorse7112]

lol makeing me tired and yawn lol

:P

[Quest4Champ]

@appalosahorse7112 Sorry if I kept you awake :D

[AquariSun27]

Pretty horses and looks like fun! It's pretty neat how horses can trot, canter, and run for looong periods of time and how they carry people, for all they want they could kick us off but they don't :P

[Quest4Champ]

@AquariSun27 Hey, Thanks for the comment :D It was a blast :D I agree, I think my boys love riding and running. Gam kinda kicked me off, well to be fair, it was Newton's first law :D

[RidinginHawaii]

@Quest4Champ That was so cool to see you fall off your horse! Whenever i fall I close my eyes so I don't really see anything untill i'm actually on the ground! Also I love dubstep! Do you mind telling me the name of this song???

[Quest4Champ]

@RidinginHawaii Thanks for the comment :D Glad you enjoined me falling :D I've actually mixed three different songs. The songs are listed at the end of the video in the order played. :D If you like to watch me fall, I've got a few other videos where I fall on my channel :D Just so you can experience it with your eyes open! :D

[SpunkRansom18]

what actually is a paper chase? looks seriously fun! the skewbald is just gorgeous!

[iamahorselover777]

Is the horse that passes at 4:23 a gaited horse?

[Quest4Champ]

@iamahorselover777 Sure is. He is a Tennessee Walker :D

[harasrebrag]

what's a paper chase? is it like a hunter pace?

[Quest4Champ]

@harasrebrag yes, its pretty much the same thing :D Ever done one?

[harasrebrag]

@Quest4Champ We did our first hunter pace in October, we really wanted to do another one but then we had a snow storm =(

[Quest4Champ]

@harasrebrag bummer! Maybe you'll get another chance before next year comes around. I love paper chases! :D

[ponygirl10111]

OMG i ride a pony at blue eleaphant farm!

[Quest4Champ]

@ponygirl10111 That is aweseome! That place is sooo nice :D I've never been, but I've heard so many good things :D

[16soccerable]

[Quest4Champ]

@16soccerable I think so :D I may have saved them, but they saved me also :D I love them boys soooo much :D Thanks for your support! It means a lot :D

[16soccerable]

You took the time to leave me a comment, the least I can do is say thank you :D I couldn't do this without you guys! I appreciate the support!

[16soccerable]

@Quest4Champ yep anytimes and trail rides are fun and i love them i just wish i could compete but if i get in a college with a rodeo team i can compete :D so excited

[bethluvshorses]

[Quest4Champ]

@bethluvshorses That is Sam. He is a killer rider and an awesome trainer! :D His horse Sally was so well behaved... a lot better than Gam and Judge were :D

[bethluvshorses]

what movie making software do you use?

[Quest4Champ]

@bethluvshorses I edited this in vegas. My butt broke my fall, so I'm good to go :D Thanks for asking XD

[9yrhunterjumper]

1:19 i think that horse is more special than yours are ;) lol

[Quest4Champ]

@9yrhunterjumper LOL! He was headbanging! :D Rock on pony, rock on!

[beauty101115]

[puppy123488]

[Quest4Champ]

@puppy123488 and thanks again :D

[puppy123488]

[Quest4Champ]

@puppy123488 Thanks :D Glad you enjoied it :D

[Thehorsebabe99]

it looks like soooo much fun!!!

[Quest4Champ]

@Thehorsebabe99 It was a blast :D If you ever get a chance to paper chase, go for it! :D

[Thehorsebabe99]

@Quest4Champ I will what is it exlacty

[Quest4Champ]

@Thehorsebabe99 Its basically a marked trail ride with jumps. The course is timed, and your group is trying to make the course within the optimum times for slow or fast divisions. :D

[Thehorsebabe99]

@Quest4Champ oh cool! I wanna do that lol :)

[ptitpoons]

super ! I love !^^

[Quest4Champ]

@ptitpoons Glad you enjoyed it! I appreciate the support! :D

[ModelHorseLover]

That was a dramatic fall XD I hope u didn't hit the fence tho. Congrats on 1 year!

[Quest4Champ]

@ModelHorseLover Thanks! Yeah, it was close! I flew right over it :D

[seanrutski]

Really good camera work. I like that angle. I Loved it when Champ was passing horses on the straight away. I'm sure Horses and Riders had a great day. What does Champ think of crossing the Deep mud.?? What a beautiful riding area. Awesome Fall day.

[Quest4Champ]

@seanrutski Thanks Sean! Gam was being a bit of a brat around the middle of the paper chase (Hence the refusal) :D It's possibly my fault since I have not had him out on a paper chase in about a year. I think that it would have been cooler if it wasn't so muddy.

[deadendshortcut]

loved this vid n ur others i subbed :) love the head cam. is jst brill!

[Quest4Champ]

@deadendshortcut Thanks for the kind words and the support :D It really means so much! You guys ROCK! :D

[breyerhomie741]

I have an idea of what the comment question should be

Do you find it easy to keep your heels down, or not, and tell why

[Quest4Champ]

@breyerhomie741 Nice question! I'll add it to the list! :D If you want to make a video of you asking the question I'll put it in a QFC video! :D

Keep them questions coming guys! :D

[efsulotions]

wow!!! i guess this was an unforgettable experience... :)

[Quest4Champ]

@efsulotions My butt and lower back will not forget for days :D Seriously, I look forward to Radnor Hunt's paper chase all year long :D So much fun :D Glad you liked the video :D That means a lot!

[Flemmingkjuh]

this looks awesome :3 11:03 O.O a Mini Cooper

[Quest4Champ]

@Flemmingkjuh Thanks :D I didn't even notice that!! :D Those little cars are awesome! If only I could hook my trailer up to one :D

[toddles123wex]

i didnt like this video at all......I loved it! oh and how did your battery last?

[Quest4Champ]

@toddles123wex Thanks! Glad you liked it :D I'm certainly feeling it today :D Actually my battery did die! Thankfully it was on the way back. The ending when I get off actually took place right after I tacked up. :D Gam's saddle needed some adjustments. Thanks for the awesome comment!

[madiandguini]

Awesome video! I've never heard of a paper chase but they look really fun :)

[Quest4Champ]

@madiandguini They are SO MUCH FUN! :D I've got a few more on my channel, I highly suggest them if you find any. They are a great time out riding with your friends :D

[ThrillOfRiding]

wow you guys look great :) i might put a question up i just have to think of one :p

[Quest4Champ]

@ThrillOfRiding Thanks! That would rock! Send as many as you can :D Its getting tough to keep coming up with them, but I love everyone's responses! :D

[Tuxedo646]

Hey were you using a helmet camera to film this?

[Quest4Champ]

@Tuxedo646 Something like that yes :D

[XxhorsexfreakxX]

@Quest4Champ Where did you get it? So awesome i want one haha

[Quest4Champ]

@XxhorsexfreakxX It was a gift that a friend of mine made for me. :D

[XxhorsexfreakxX]

@Quest4Champ aww dang it. haha what an awesome pressie. great vid that ride looked epic fun :)

[Quest4Champ]

@XxhorsexfreakxX Thanks so much! :D I love Radnor's Paperchase! I think I could do it for a week straight, and it would never get old. :D

[cheerio280]

So jealous! I recently moved to central IL for school and I'm majorly missing all of the paperchases back home :(

[Quest4Champ]

@cheerio280 Awww, thats a bummer but you don't have to miss them. Here's what you do; Every time you start to miss a doing a paper chase, check out one of mine :D I've got enough to last till you can go home and do another one :D Good luck at school! :D

[XSwiftasmyheartX]

[Quest4Champ]

@XSwiftasmyheartX Thanks! :D I don't have one in this video, so I was asking for you guys to give me some for upcoming videos! You can either record one and send me the video, or just ask here and I'll use it as long as I haven't asked them before :D Submit as many as you want!

[XSwiftasmyheartX]

[bellaandpualove671]

[Quest4Champ]

@bellaandpualove671 Thanks! I have road Western quiet a bit, but prefer English, due to the variety of showing :D I do love Western saddles, they are so comfortable!

[bellaandpualove671]

@Quest4Champ yeah ive rode both and like both but western a bit funner :)
