Ozzy Jumping

[rainnovice93]

Lol i love greenies....how old is he?

[xxxligeiaxxx]

@rainnovice93 This video is kind of old, but at this point he had just turned four. He will be six in April. And I share your love of greenies!  ;)

[rainnovice93]

@xxxligeiaxxx aw lol..hes a fun greenie..mine was like...If he tapped a pole..barely..he would land and buck the crap outta me

[xxxligeiaxxx]

@rainnovice93 Haha--yeah, I've ridden MANY a greenie like that! Ozzy, however, finds it's entirely too much work to buck and be bad--he'd rather do it right and be done quicker. It's a nice problem to have; however, sometimes it causes him to "rush" through an exercise, because he want's to be done.

[rainnovice93]

@xxxligeiaxxx haha

[Anka111h2O]

where do you ride ?

[xxxligeiaxxx]

@Anka111h2O This was taken years ago at On Course Riding Academy in Lafayette, NJ.

I'm guessing you don't understand what the music is saying because that's one of the worst lyrics I've ever listened to

[xxxligeiaxxx]

@katebf Actually, I do as this is one of my favorite bands, Sepultura. Metal, as "rock and roll" once was, isn't for everyone and has much hidden in the lyrics. Understatement is a tool of many writing greats (see: Shakespeare). Here's a breakdown for you:

This song is about social class differences. Refers to different types of neighborhoods and homes. Rich and poor. Injustice. Drugs. Poverty. It is a criticism of the unequal society.

@xxxligeiaxxx Biboca, garage, favela, are poor places, located in the periphery. Difficult to access. Unsafe.

Fubanga: something or someone bad aspect, damaged. Ugly. Poor. Poor appearance.

Maloca: community shelter inhabited by the natives of the Amazon.

Bocada: poverty. Slum

Garagem: garage.

Favela: slum.

@xxxligeiaxxx Ze Do Caixao: Brazilian filmmaker, actor, screenwriter, and television and media personality

Zumbi: was the last of the Leaders of the Quilombo dos Palmares

Lampiao: was the MOST famous Cangaço leader of a band, who marauders and outlaws terrorized the Brazilian Northeast in the 1920s and 1930s.

Vamo detona essa porra! : We will stop this ****

[xxxligeiaxxx]

@xxxligeiaxxx Hello uptown

Hello downtown

Hello midtown

Hello trenchtown

[Traperlove]

Beautiful HORSE.! ;)

[lenicegillett]

your horse is so funny. When he jumps a new fence for the first time he looks like he wants a good bronk afterwards. As if to say yay we made it alive :)

[EquestrianLevi99]

Beautiful stables :) Where is it located?

[eastie3peastie]

Haha, it's funny the things horses are scared of. My horse is scared to death of jumping poles hahaha, she took one with her today when we jumped only about 1 and a half ft. needless to say, I was on the ground in a rather stupid attempt at grabbing her mane while she spooked. I missed. But anywaysss, you guys look really great together! =P

[xxxligeiaxxx]

@eastie3peastie I hope you're okay! Thank you for your kind words. This video is kind of old, but regardless, Ozzy is still afraid of ground poles in the indoor--I think it's something about the shadowing...

[eastie3peastie]

@xxxligeiaxxx Yeah I was fine :) and that could be it... I can't tell you for sure haha and thanks!

[ThrillOfRiding]

aww Ozzy is so cute :) you guys look awesome :)

[xxxligeiaxxx]

@ThrillOfRiding Thanks! This video is kind of old--if you have time, feel free to check out some of our newer stuff! :)

[sssjmcs]

[JamminJemm]

2:06 made my night xD haha He's very willing and extremely handsome :) You've got a great horse there :) and I'm sure you're going to go very far :)

[xxxligeiaxxx]

@JamminJemm Thanks! This video is about a year old at this point--he's come really far since this! Feel free to check out some of our newer stuff. Thanks so much for watching and for your kind words. :)

[MelissaxMeltdown]

Aww I have a horse named Ozzy as well! He's a 3ft hunter and I loved his name when I got him XD

[mysocksskilletrocks]

haha he is so cute! His canter looks to die for! You two look great! 

[horsecrazed75]

Oh my gosh Ozzy is so gorgeous!! He has really turned into a great jumper (and all-around horse!) And how great of Mel & Clue to join in!! :) You guys look great and I enjoy watching your videos :D

[xxxligeiaxxx]

@horsecrazed75 Yeah, Mel and Clue are awesome and so helpful! :) It's great to have such a good friend and a good horse to work with. Thank you so much--for your words and for watching! :)

[iluvlinus]

wow this video is soo great ! you two look amazing and he seems to have his leads figured out quite well :) i love your videos great work !

[xxxligeiaxxx]

@iluvlinus Aww thanks! He's a really hard worker so I'm very lucky. He's slowly getting the leads, but that will come over time as he 's still a baby. Thanks so much for watching and commenting! :)

[JackAndArora]

[xxxligeiaxxx]

@JackAndArora Thank you... but who is Holly?

[JackAndArora]

@xxxligeiaxxx oops i ment to say holy like HOE-LEY hahaha sorry :P

[xxxligeiaxxx]

@JackAndArora Lol! Oh now I get it! Sorry, I'm a bit slow on the up-take... ;)

[JackAndArora]

@xxxligeiaxxx oops i ment to put holy lol sorry!

[snowgirl1052]

I loved how Ozzy looked at the straw bales the first time like Huh?! , Iam jumping what?! Ozzy is looking great! Clue is really smooth.

[RideAnIrishHorse]

Ozzy sure looked full of himself this day! I love the "follow the leader" stuff--a good way to teach a young horse that he CAN jump "scary" things! :o) Hope you guys had a good time at the show!

[xxxligeiaxxx]

@embethjones Lol--Ozzy is in love with Clue. I think he'd follow her over a jump covered in flames! ;) (Which I honestly wouldn't put past Mel--she's pretty brave.)

[4Gold2Dust0]

do u show at spruce grove in alberta ?

[xxxligeiaxxx]

@4Gold2Dust0 No I never have! Right now, we're in NJ and just working on local shows. I'd love to travel with him someday though!

[4Gold2Dust0]

@xxxligeiaxxx

that would be cool ! he is such an awesome horse ! Jealous!!!

[Blackhorse83]

What a brave boy! Ozzy has done so well with jumping!

[xxxligeiaxxx]

@Blackhorse83 Thank you!

[HondaThoru]

Good luck for the show im sure hell do great though. Ill keep a look out for the footage. Its nice you guys can ride together like this i knew it was one of your goals a few years ago i miss that myself at times.

[xxxligeiaxxx]

@HondaThoru This day was seriously one of the best days EVER for me. Every so often, Mel and I stop to appreciate how long it has taken us to be able to ride our horses together. :) The show was interesting... Ozzy decided the white warm-up crossrail was worthy of a mental melt-down, so we stuck with schooling and scratched our classes. :) I love when he reminds me that he's still a baby! :) We had a blast watching Mel and Clue and just experiencing the show. Footage to come!

[popsafee]

Ozzy looks great and like he handled the new scary jumps okay. It's funny to me how much Zeke and him are alike. I hope the show goes well for you guys this weekend. I can't wait for some footage.

[xxxligeiaxxx]

@popsafee Thank you! It's funny--when I watch your Zeke videos, I see a bunch of similarities too! :) I hope when I come up this summer I can snag a ride on him--he looks like a lot of fun! :)

[ashleigh578]

My horse's name is Clue too :]

[xxxligeiaxxx]

@ashleigh578 If you'd like to see more of this Clue, her owner's youtube handle is dragonfly1030. She has quite a story! :)

[noleebee44]

he looks awesome! good luck at your first show with him! one of the trainers at my barn is taking her greenie to his first show this weekend too!

[xxxligeiaxxx]

@noleebee44 Aww thanks! Yeah, I have a feeling a lot of greenies came out this weekend! :)

[ownedbyahorse]

Ozzy is so pretty. <3 He's really turning into an amazing athlete. :) You're doing a wonderful job with him. :D

[xxxligeiaxxx]

@ownedbyahorse Thank you on all accounts! He's a great horse; I feel really blessed to have him. :)

[JockoJumper]

Your horse is massivelyyy gorgeous!! What breed? I want him!

[xxxligeiaxxx]

@JockoJumper Thank you! He's an Irish Sport Horse. Can't help you out with that last part though--he's not for sale. :)

[JewishEquestrian]

way to go ozzy!

I can't wait to see him showing :)

[xxxligeiaxxx]

@JewishEquestrian Thanks! The footage will be up soon, though we ended up just schooling.

[USNBRAT91]

Hah Ozzy looked a little whipped up during this ride but still did such a great job! You guys will do great at the show this weekend :) And nice job with the little half change @ 2:50! he's getting there!!!

[xxxligeiaxxx]

@USNBRAT91 He gets all excited when we jump--he even considers lead changes! We'll get there eventually--lots of baby steps in-between though.

[eventer723]

woohoo, look at you guys go, I love how his third attempt over the bale you could see it clicking in his brain like "ahhh, just like.. THIS" he's so cute

[xxxligeiaxxx]

@eventer723 That's why I love working with the young ones--I love that epiphany moment--that "ah-ha!" when everything seems to click. :)

[smoothsailin14]

ozzy is looking great you two have come soo far!

[xxxligeiaxxx]

@smoothsailin14 Thanks so much! Hopefully, we'll have further to go! :)

[Peterpetertackeater]

[xxxligeiaxxx]

@Peterpetertackeater We'll be there for the first time tomorrow. :)

[Peterpetertackeater]
