Red Hills Horse Trials 2010 - Three Star World Cup - Peter Atkins

[SkatesNSaddles]

I love he and Henny :0) My all time favorites. Just love how he treats Henny like his equal teammate.

[scar504]

Peter Atkins is the greatest horseback rider/philosopher

[dannie2twins]

he has pretty ears!!!



[LennyOnTourxD]

Wuaahh, all the trees everywhere :-O :D:D

Nice Horse and realy nice Ride :)

[SarahConnemare]

Run, Henny, Run!!!

[horsegirl431backup]

how did u film that!?

[inkedkatiebu08]

i love how the ears are up the whole time...looks like a fun course

[dressagediva92]

Wow, that is so cool!!! It almost looks fake

[glassponyNY]

Loved watching this ride. The horse's ears tell a great story. He loved every minute of it!!

[amsilverny]

hey guys, the horse's name is Henry in case you couldn't hear him well. Fabulous ride!

[savvydanee]

Awesome. Yes I feel tired just watching as well- and I ride 4-5 horses a day! When I was a teen and riding show jumping everyone thought I was such a daredevil because my horse loved to take "flyers" and I wasn't rider enough yet to tell him otherwise- but at least I didn't have to worry about scrapping my knee (or head!) off a tree. Great way to experience a cross country course!!!

[jzimmer564]

Wow - thank you for posting for those of us riders who are too chicken to ever do a XC course. As a dressage rider, I would never have the courage! Loved the horses ears!!! Kudos

[kitastrophe74]

WOW. Fantastic! "Run, Eddy, Run!" I can't even imagine how exhausting that must have been for both of you-- I felt pooped just watching it! Can I ask what kind of helmet cam you're using? I've been looking for one to take on my riding vacations.

[jkwelch1]

WOW! What an athlete! Looks like he really enjoys his job! So glad I was 'riding this horse' through that course, and not mine! LOL!

[jennrummy]

Tricky course with all the trees to dodge and shadows.

[Roewyn]

well, coming from someone who actually DOES this... it adds up quite well! :)

I love the comment Mr Atkins makes right after he goes over the bank/armadillo... "you're the MAN, Henny!" lol

[finnsfun]

It looks very much computer animated to me, the movements do not add up at times...

[LeapofFaith313]

@finnsfun thats because your on top of his head,you cant see his body movements or the way the horse is going.

[EventingInSeattle]

fawn,

obviously, a motorcycle could never do what a horse can. do you think that a motorcycle could jump those jumps? no way! besides, there's much more skill required to guide a horse in xc, dressage or stadium jumping. YOU'RE the one that's missing out!

[fawnknudsen]

Get on a motorcycle, this is 2010, not 1910; besides, horses are stupid.

[SarahConnemare]

why do u say that? horses are wonderful, there not actualy "stupid" like everyone says...there powerful, determind, beautiful animals. have u EVER ridden??

[Genesis21K]

what kind of camera is that

[buzzterbrown]

Wow! This is awesome! I've waited so long for a helmet cam view at this level!

[homouse]

What horse is he on??

[timcenter]

1 - I was tired halfway through the ride - everyone is a true athlete.

2 - Look where you want to go - and the horse will follow - he never looked off course

3 - What great communication - who does not get chills when he says "Run, Eddy, Run!" - that was incredible

Thanks so much for sharing this ride with us mere mortals!

[jengersnaped]

That was such fun! Thanks for sharing

[jillmstewart]

What a great way to experience the event through the eyes of a rider!

[shannonkayebrinkman]

that makes me soooo happy to experience even thru video! Great ride Peter! So much fun!

[highwoodmts]

Wow, that's amazing - terrific ride - love watching the horse's ears listening for the rider - well done!
