[SuperFrenchy7]

[Attleexxmarie]

my old trainer was going to ride in this but his horse threw his to back shoes off

[tocGTrider]

LOL random car in the arena. Watch out horsey!!!!!!

[Attleexxmarie]

@tocGTrider sponers

[milliesos]

I have to say, when the second horse came in i thought no way is that going to jump that big well done. f

[QueenBeatlesWings]

it's a different style of jumping in a way- height here vs. challenging structures in Olympics and stuff

[GallowayGold]

the second horse made it look like it was jumping hardly anything!

[1989ProblemChild]

omg this is a nail biter lol, i hold my breath when they take the big jumps lol.

[spongelemons]

either those are liiiitle teeny horses or reallly big riders..

[Attleexxmarie]

@spongelemons some show jumpers can be like 15.3 hands. one of My old horses was 15.3 and had been jumped 6'6 before. I doesnt mater on size just talent

[poopoomaneatspootwo]

@Attleexxmarie Computers are so decieving! Try imagining what I said in a happy go lucky, little chuckle at the end kind of comment!! I didn't mean for it to be negative :)

[Attleexxmarie]

@poopoomaneatspootwo oh ok : )

[yuliya1995]

The rider in the blue has potential I mean he really followed through the jump but then at the end almost took a fall, still great.

They are great ,all of the riders are amazing;

There is no need to tell them/ post a comment on here saying that they suck because obviously they don't; if they were to do so, they wouldn't be there, so please stop pointing things out that aren't true.

[2009Greggy]

the second horse looks like a yearling.

[SpeluEmpathy]

WOW love those jumps! :o 5 * ;)

[DrPepper53]

its cruel to the horses cus all teh riders are doing is putting them ouyt of balalnce i think if they do that they should like go around and warm up more

[tightgreenpantswupsh]

these are professional riders. i'm going to go out on a limb here and say that they've practiced this before. and are not all that off balance. if a rider has the ability to jump this high, they probably know how to prepare their horse. all three horses were ridden incredibly well and were given plenty of time to get a a nice balanced canter before having to jump [like philip dutton says]. let me see you do this, and then by all means, criticize them.

[troublegirl197]

first learn how to spell, second no rider goes into a ring with the horse just out of it's stall they have areas for the riders and horses to warm up and they certainly aren't going to use the main ring for that the people there came to see jumping not warm ups, they call that one jump a "warm up" so the horse gets a normal for them jump in before they go to the high jump

[DrPepper53]

sorry that was my friend that wrote that!....Sorry for whatever she said

[LivinCuzHorses511]

every person at the second jump falls foward when the horse lands

[upsidexdownxpeanut]

its because of the impact of the jump landing. you rlly cant help it.

[St8luvr247]

alright, YOU jump that and see if you can do any better.

[XburningontheinsideX]

even a vertical or something... no triple bars.

[pinkweaselgirl]

normally the high jump is a wall

[troublegirl197]

high jump can be anything, if it's specified as puissance

[troublegirl197]

Sorry my computer cut me off, if it's specified as puissance then it's a giant wall.

[ltpjumper]

a triple bar is actually one of the easiest jumps to jump. since there is such a ramp to the triple bar it is easier for both the horse and rider to see a distance. the ramp also helps the horse by giving them time to pick up their feet in order to clear the back rail. its easier having a triple bar, easier even than a verticle.

[Horselvr139]

I think it's horrible that the horses are owned by things like 'Horsemanship Unlimited' instead of by an actual person you know? They don't get to feel what it's like to have someone that owns them and loves them and rides them like an amateur's horse would. They're just money makers...

[nicolastoro24]

Amazing???? please... look the world record guinnes in high jump from chile

[AnnaBrittanyPatty]

kool My frined jumps 8ft i think Lolz he is awasoeme and not gay X3

[XanamiaqueenX]

[halo3chick108]

[colleenisepic]

Wow, the suspension of that first bay is AMAZING. I'd pay to ride that horse.

The grey horse looks awkward in build and his stride is so short but man did he do well.

[xxshowjumper]

I LOVE the second horse[:

[Kianna923]

Wow. Omg SIXXXXXX feet. The grey is soo powerful

[Channin22]

The Grey is a Jack Rabbit!

[kendywylieracer2]

OMG! i have went there and wached! l0l! =]

[Kingrussle]

wow, the grey did pretty well, considering how short and slow its stride was.

[snchallenged66]

Also, I would HATE to have been someone sitting next to that girl who SHRIEKED after Lane jumped on the grey horse the first round

[XanamiaqueenX]

lol same here

[snchallenged66]

I always think it's sooo funny when people clap and cheer after they jump the smaller warm-up jump(s) haha!

[Elleibo]

One day... that WILL be me. :D

[horsebackrider22]

OMG 7 ft OXER

[Attlid]

The brown one that jumps first every time is sooo beautiful and I love the canter!

[Chimbarazzo1Girlish]

I love jumping. Especially puissances! I only have a 14.1 hh pony right now though. My sister(I'm on her account) has a Hanoverian she does dressage with. He almost has the passage downpat. He's really gentle too.

[candyfwoss]
