  • Little Big Man has more heart than any other horse I've ever seen enter the international ring

  • my heart stops right before the budweiser jump...every single time i watch it. It never ceases to amaze me, the riding skills of these two. i bow down to thee :)

  • That is one amazing horse.

  • 0:36 ... WTTFF IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE OMG

  • I do clinics with her and i have ridden that horse it is a amazing horse

  • seaworld jumps are so spooky! they are shiny and big and awwww! I was hacking my pony around in the jumper ring because the others were closed so they let riders use it. but it was all set up for the grand prix in a few days and so all the riders and I went around and lowered the jumps a bit. and then we hacked and like 1 rider fell off and 3 had their horse/ ponies spook from the seaworld jump including me. haha fun day

  • omg this is so funny, I looked up little big man because that's my pony's show name, and like all of these horses came up that can jump like 6ft, and he is kinda chubby so he can only jump like 2'6'' or 2'9'' max, hahaha ;) he dreams of being like them someday :P

  • i think she acctually missed a jump!

  • Wow. Amazing.

  • I think I was there! I didn't think anything of it because I was really only 8. Is little big man like a famous horse?

  • dang that horse wants it more than his rider does

  • I got chills at that Buddweiser jumps..

  • That was bloody amazing!!! so high, wide and such tight corners sometimes too!

  • Wow...

    Amazing. I can't believe she got across that oxer clean.

  • i admit i am impressed

    hahaha

  • impressionant O_O

  • GOOSEBUMPS OR WHAT?! :O

    extremely talented horse :D

  • What a ride!!! Great horse and rider, obviously a lot of time and effort have gone into that partnership. Gretababy is obviously hasn't got a clue!!! I would be so happy to get myself and my horse to half that standard!!!!

  • little big man is such the athlete!

    one of my 4-H leaders is actually close friends with laura

  • awesome. amazing slice!

  • omg the slice to the budweiser!! and did u see the LONG distance to the huge axer after that!?!?

  • what's up with her flying hands at 1:08? if you ask me, that's a little too extreme!

  • awesome rider and horse

  • This made me cry because my fav horse broke his leg doing that.

  • JUMPING? Thats teriffic.

  • that slice on the budweiser jump was A M A Z I N G!!!

  • Wow she has guts :O shes an amasing jumper wish i could jump like that :D

  • wow shes got guts

  • how big is this horse? he's looks quite small lol or is that just the angle?

  • Someone else could probably tell you for sure, but maybe 15.2 or 15.3? Def. under 16 hands. He's awesome.

  • Little big man or pony as we call him at home is only 15.2 hands

  • @sk3lt0n hes 15.3

  • @sk3lt0n 15.2hh!

  • what I love is that even though laura and little big man soar through courses she somehow manages to ride with a fairly loose rein. I mean shiz to the nits.

  • i know, and she shows him in a hackamore!!! amazing team

  • Yeah, I agree with EquiSoup, it's a jump-off and your supposed to clear the jumps and make good time. If you can do that you can win it. Thats the point of her going to so fast! As long as you can make the jump it's not considered going 'to fast'.

  • PonyRiderForver123 you are horribly stupid. She won didn't she? Going too fast over a jump? Unless the horse and rider were incapable that wasn't too fast. I'd like to see you do it. Or do you even know how to ride?

  • wow totally awesome! :)

  • to fast? this is a JUMP OFF sweetie, the whole point is to go as fast and as clean as you can....and your not supposed to kick in mid air over the jump...these jumps are huge you are supposed to kick after and before the jumps...would you like to be going over a 5 foot jump kicking or holding on? makes the world of difference doesnt it...? maybe beacause you ride a pony you kick in the air over the one foot jump you jump but its a whole different thing on a horse jumping huge.

  • ponyriderforever its the jump off thats why she isnt supposed to jump the course like a hunter rider she has to go fast to win ov you wouldnt win in a jumper show cuz your a hunter she wasnt giong to ffast she was getting the distance's

  • kickin correctly while in mid position of the jump???

    i dont know how yhu ride - but i know most showjumpers dont kick in mid position of the jump, but when landin the squeeze with their legs to keep the energy flowin forwards and as for a bit too fast??? to win a jump off you have to have the quickest time and no faults, her horse wasn't out of control in the canter. what do you expect her to do - go round in collected trot?

  • in a jump off it as all about who is the fastest and knocks down the least rails. it doesn't matter how you look, though riding ability is a plus for you and the horse. :P

  • Little Big Man makes it look so easy.

  • my barn mate competed agaisnt her of course she placed behind her but still! shes awseome

  • This is AMAZING!! Unbelievable, I wish I was there to see it in person!

  • that is an amzing horse! how big is he/she? and how big were the jumps?

  • ive been to the pa nat. horse show dozens of times, horses always spook at the seaworld jump. laura is a great rider and handled the course beautifully.

  • yeah i no i was just using it as an exsample horses can go lame for anything kicks wrong placings hunting ....

  • and also so what if you have been around horses most of your life so have meny other peope and that would be including me!and horses only go lame if the rider jumpsthem stupidly and the fuck up there legs thats probs what you have seen! and if you read the title you will c it has jump-off on it witch meens getting oround the course as fast as you can without getting faults!!!!

  • no they dont they could hurt them selfs in the field thats not the only way horses go lame

  • can i just say to :'gretababy18' i think the onlu reason she got round that course is beacause she had full controll and the pony worked for her she knew what she was doing and even if she did come to close to the jump she proberly had planned to do that as she had compleate faith in her horse and knew that the horse would do it.

  • He is definitely a once in a lifetime horse.

  • wow she is a good rider like 1 million times better then me :)

  • sick... (as in unbelievably awesome...:)

    what an amazing partership... The Budweiser to the oxer is one of the most amazing efforts I've seen...

    no doubt - this is a great rider and great horse

    inspiring...

  • Amen! This ride STILL gives me goosebumps every time I watch it; I'm so glad I was there to see it in person. That's one thing that kills me about Youtube, especially the equestrian community--everyone's a critic, and suddenly everyone's an "expert."

  • agree very strongly with LestatMonCopain!!!!

  • Dude...Lauras a fantastic rider, she had total control over Big Man and he was havin a blast. Lame? Seriously...are u even thinking that? Wow please never jump a horse, you have no concept of it.

  • i do jump and i was taught to not rush jumps and plan the course that your gonna take, even if it is staduim. if she had control of him then how come she cut that corner really really bad to the point that shes lucky she didn't hit that post? and yea jumping is a blast but seriously i've been around horses most of my life and i've seen plenty turn up lame after a jump round like that.

  • Your going to compare yourself to Laura? Ha..hahahaha. Its a Grand Prix and a JUMP OFF thats why she cut that corner, thats WHY she had control so that she could make sure a turn, luck had nothing to do with it, percise riding did. If your horses or horses u've been around come up lame because of a round like this, the had serious issues or were so pooly built they should be jumping to begin with. Cold, hard facts.

  • yeah, gretababy perhaps you don't know who Laura Chapot is.... try googling her. you'll realize your first comment is completely and totally unfounded. and then to compare yourself to her?? humorous, to say the least. you appear to have no real knowledge of professional riding or even the jumpers for that matter. that ride was brilliant. gutsy, yes.. but that is part of what made it great (& part of what a jump off is all about). and with a talented horse like Little Big Man. perfect combo.

  • If you know so much, and you're so right and so much better then Laura, i'd love to see her and you in a jump off. She has the most trust with LBM, and you should see her in other rides. She's amazing. Your completely retarded

  • do you even ride its some times hard to ride lets see you do that!

  • lmfao gretababy, maybe you should learn how to spell "surprised" before you go analyzing top riders :)

  • @gretababy18 Do you even know anything about showjumping?

    Little Big Man is one of the best horses our generation will ever see- and he was NOT lame after this. He and Chapot went on to win plenty more events.

  • wow. amazing horse and rider. someday i hope to be as good as her! :D

  • may i use this video to it is so cool and i love the way this horse jumps if u weant i will give u credit

  • Yes you may, because you asked. Please credit me, and please send me the link when you're done; I'd love to see it!  Thanks.

  • do u want to have my emai so u can send me this link

  • Sorry, if you want to use it, you have to pull it from here. I am not doing the legwork. Not saying that to sound like a brat, but I don't give out my email on here.

  • Wooouw!

  • Oh wow O.O Amazing!

    Very big fences!

  • can i please use this video in a video im making? i will give you credit for it!!!

  • Because you asked, yes. :)

  • thanks!

  • wow! that slice at the budweiser was hard enough but for the grandprix! DANG!! thats a great horse and rider! they make an amazing team!!

  • Oh WOW! That was just insane! She took that oxer in the middle SOOOO early, but knew the horse could make it! Just amazing

  • WOW, they really trust each other! Thats a fantastik ride..!!!

  • That was asome!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • og my god. That was brilliant!

  • that's one hell of a jump off=]

  • amazing! how tall is the horse and the jumps?

  • I think he's in the 15hh range. And she only rides him in a hackamore!

  • wow...

    thats all i can say....

  • OMG! THAT WAS AWESOME!

    i was holding my breath through the whole thing!

  • last time i saw her at monmouth county grand prix with Little Big Man she rode in a hackamore, it was absolutely amazing until the last fence. She pushed too hard and he didn't have room to take off. I love them both though, they are amazing together!

  • wow good horse! haha i wouldnt jump those jumps with some of the distances and turns she asked him for! what a cool pair!

  • wow.. amazing!

  • my best friend turned 12 that day! lol Btw, that was a wonderful ride!

  • Brilliant ride!

  • the jump in the middle of the round... the one where they take off way back close to the camera,,, just astounds me.

  • I think she pushes him a little too hard sometimes, but they make a terrific pair!

  • well she has to whne theres 65,000 dollars at stake!

  • wow.. absolutely amazing! props

  • Magnificent jump-off round!!!

    I loved it!!!

  • omg, both this woman and her horse are AMAZING, no doubt about it. i'm pretty sure i would've killed myself if i tried that budweiser jump on such a tight turn. XD

  • I swear I get goosebumps every time I watch this video. She and that horse are amazing. That is hands down the best ride I have ever seen in my life. I hope to someday have half the talent she has.

  • shes just amazin! xx

  • the jump at .37 sec, is breathtaking

  • when i went to see her at the monmouth county show she rides in a hackamore, she is just amazing, but soo skinny too lol =] great video

  • This horse is amazing I have the honor of taking care of him at home in new jersey! He has such a personality! He knows he's the man!

  • Awesome! :)

  • absolutely amazing. and hes not wearing a bit!

  • AMAZING!

  • oh my freaking god!!!:D :D AWESOME!

  • Woah! Look at those turns! gawd, If I tried that on my horse I would've wiped out after the first turn! Awesome vid, She is a wicked rider, and look at that horses reach! OMG It's huge! :D

  • Laura ain't riding. She's /flying/.

  • wow amazing, what a talent

  • what a cheer =D thats what its about, confidence and fun x3

  • Wow!! I am in shock! They are great together!::D

  • my friend's 12.2 hand pony can jump 3'3"-he's chester the super pony!

  • that ride from budweiser to oxer was INSANE!!! loved it

  • OMG, this video makes you want to cheer and ride and ride and ride. YES the little horses inch for inch can jump bigger than most 17H horses. My daughter's 13.2 pony jumps 3'6" and my 16H only 4' in comparison! Whahoo

  • Wow and people say ridings not a sport...retards

    I really wish i could do that, I hardly jump 2'6

  • I know maggie mcalary

  • famous and u know them?

  • I do NOT personally know Laura Chapot, nor any other famous show jumpers...sadly. :-/

  • im confussed do u know this person or are thay famous?

  • They are famous. I am up in the stands cheering my head off.

  • did they take out the rest of the jumps and yea my friend's horse would never jump the whales ever she spooks at everything

  • incredible scope...I can't believe she did the 4 from the budweiser jump to the oxer! I love this horse.

  • holey shit

    that was amazing!

  • Those two were amazing

  • omg I love little big man he is awesome!!!!!

  • pause it at 00:36

  • The takeoff is amazing/crazy. :)

  • lol. I know. Most horses would not hav been able to do it and they are like 16.3!! This little guy is so cute at 15.2. =)

  • I swear I saw this horse at Devon a few years ago, lol I named a horse on gallop racer after it.

  • that whale jump is sweet!!

  • no it's NOT. I hate it so much! Every show i've been to with those whales horses spook at them. I hate them lol

  • yeah theres horses at my stable that spook at flowers but i think it looks cool.... my horse would NEVER jump it though

  • omg. I love your video. Didnt he show wef. Thanks

  • this is my favorite grand prix horse. i even loved him b4 i started riding, when i whatched grand prixs on tv!! lol

  • hero much!

  • AMAZING!!!!

  • that was very good!!! congrats...you did awsome and for the person a couple comments down I LOOOOOVE BEZZIE MADDEN AND AUTHENTIC THEY ARE AMAZING>>>I WENT TO SEE THEM AT THE GRAND PRE IN LAS VEGAS TOO BAD BOUT THE FALL HUH?

  • That is something you will NEVER see. This is what I thought:

    First, you'd never see Beezie Madden fall off, especially from Authentic.

    Second, you'd never see Meredith Michaels-Beerbaum fall off, especially from Shutterfly.

    Third, you'd never see them fall off on the same day at the same show.

    I was proven wrong.

  • thats amazing!

  • Holy fricken cow. That long spot after the Budweiser reminds me of that AMAZING long spot that Authentic took with Meredith Michaels-Beerbaum in the WEG (at least, I think Meredith was riding him. It was when they all changed horses. It could have been Beezie).

  • Wow great round! That horse was giving it his all! That budweiser jump, wow I'm lost for words...

  • Me encanta ese caballooooooO!

  • Yeowza! Give that pony some more coffee - he really gave it all!

  • WOW indeed. That was amazing...that long spot at the oxer after the budweiser jump.. insane. Amazing horse and rider!

  • WOW

  • Anyone have some suggestions ,I would like to see more horses jumping like this.. i mean real good jumping not the small stuff.

  • I love little big man!

  • I am just an observer, but I have never seen such a display of horse uphoria with rider before in my life. This is a special moment and this horse just loves to jump. Fortunetly the rider knows how to guide the exuberant horse!!! Bravo!

  • Now is the time for all of us horse lovers to step up! Thousands of horses are being slaughtered right now in the US for human consumption.Even Racehorses and pregnant mares are killed. USDA studies show over 92% of horses slaughtered are healthy and 3 out of 10 contain unhealthy chemicals.

  • The approch to the budwiser jump was amazing!

  • did they win? ;D

  • Of course!

  • I was there when she won =] I must have been sitting diectly across the arena form you because i was sitting right in front of the finish line.

  • WHAT AN AMAZING PARTNERSHIP!!! Great horse!!!!

  • Wow wow wow wow how high is the pony?

  • that is certainly not a pony. A horse- probably around 16 hands

  • hes not a pony but he is only 15.2

  • WOW. she has got to be the craziest yet most brilliant riders i have ever seen. gosh, i luv the way she flys around!!!

  • to rawrty- the class with the biggest jumps at the show will be the $25,000 Pennsylvania Big Jump (FEI). generally the class with the biggest prize money and anything marked FEI (unless its childrens) will have huggeee jumps.

  • thanks

  • what day was this?

  • I think it was on Saturday. If you google "Pennsylvania National Horse Show," you can see their website and last year's schedule from this show.

  • how high are those jumps?

  • Huge...I'm not 100 percent sure, but the spreads between poles on the oxers has to be like 5 1/2 feet or so...

  • Little big man is an amazing jumper, he gives me chills-I'm thinking he's 15.2 hh, if I remember right.

  • QUESTION:

    im going there next year and i dont know what day to go. i want to go to the one with the biggest jumps:

    *NAL Pony Jumper Finals

    *National Junior Jumper Team Competition (Prix de States)

    *$25,000 Pennsylvania Big Jump (FEI)

    HELP!

  • OMG that's like my friend in the Future! hands up in the air, going as fast as she can, screaming to get over the jump! creepy lol! (i am not saying my friends rides like that all the time lol just when she wants to win just like this rider lol)

  • tht was amazing..btw Riley guy you make lyk no sense dude lol..anywho great round!!!

  • Woooooooow!!!!!!

  • Amazing.... the effort at 00:37!!!

  • Amazing jumpoff. The horse did really well to pick up over one spread after the red planks. Very clever little horse!

  • very cool

  • Haha, it's so funny that the crowd starts cheering before she finishes the jumpoff. At most of the shows I've been too, especially the bigger ones, everyone tends to hold their breath until the hindlegs clear the last fence. I guess everyone really did know she was going to win, lol.

  • wow for a sec i thought you ppl were saying she is ridng thats not her riding that look at the top were you would suscribe to this sn and it says Laura Chapot and Little Big Man--one of the most amazing rides I've had the opportunity to witness. You just knew she'd win the jump off from the moment she came in the ring. so there she isnt riding at all
