2000 Olympics-Stadium Jumping-Individual

[gulliversslave]

It's crazy how event horses knock rails in stadium. There were 2 clear rounds at Rolex 2008! You would think since they are also used to jumping logs, rocks, etc, they'd clear with room to spare.

@ashbaby208 Olympic eventing is 3' 11" at it's max.

Today most Grand Prix courses are about 1.60m, or about 5'3.

this isnt grand priz show jumping, its stadium jumping which is the 3rd phase of eventing.

[stupidblond428a]

this is EVENTING not showjumping.

[boxlikeboxes]

The jumps don't look that big, not being vain or anything...i think they must have upped the height since then

[stupidblond428a]

these are very small compared to the ones today! Today they go up to 4ft (i beleive) back then they were 3-3'6

[troublehan]

wait is like part of the 3 day eventing??cos in show jumping the jumps are like 5ft and higher...but ya these are very small.

[stupidblond428a]

yeah it is.

[cwaabaa]

[dreamershavemorefun]

CANADA WILL WIN IN TEAM AND IN INDIVIDUAL it's our turn to take home the gold at the olympics

David O'Connor retired in 2000. He doesn't even compete anymore...

[stupidblond428a]

This is the 3rd phase to Eventing.

[stupidblond428a]

This isn't show jumping. It is stadium jumping

[mom2niko]

Yeah, it took me a minute to realize that too. I was thinking that this looked oddly smaller than what the junior umper riders in my barn do. LOL

[stupidblond428a]

These are 3'9-4ft or 1.15m-1.25m

[stupidblond428a]

I know. And now they are making the jumps higher!

[stupidblond428a]
