Michelle Lewis & Treadies - 1988 Hickstead Speed Derby

[scrummymummy2]

Possibly the worst rider ever to grace Hickstead.....appalling riding. Just shows where money can get you.

the horse looking down as if to say ''why are you on the ground?''

"I remember William Funnell doing the same thing" - I would actually love to see that :P

Do they eliminate her when this happen?

[sainglain]

@gegincitu - different rules in 1988 - what year was it they changed the rules of S.J. ? was it early 2000's from 2 falls elem. to one? It used to be on the 3rd refusal you were eliminated, now on the 2nd. It also used to be a quarter a time fault for every second or part of a second over the time allowed, now its changed. Also used to be only 3 faults for a refusal now 4 which I think should be 5 but then you prob. get time pen. anyway for stopping. A refusal is far worse than a fence down.

schrecklich! das arme pferd. wie die frau dadrauf sitzt. sowas sollte verboten werden! das ist doch kein stil! das pferd ist einfach nur super! heutzutage scheidet man ja schon sofort nach einem sturz aus. aber die frau, soo unruhig nur auf den sieg aus! bescheuert. das geht auch mit mehr stil!

What a Crazzzzzy course!!!!

[cheesmnky]

Fantastic movement and flow with both horse and rider. I agree- her sister has absolutely awful equitation- she looks like she's doing the butterfly swim stroke w/ her legs. THIS here is great riding. Lovely give and take.

hang on, they are 2 different people! this is annette's sister!

[horsymad100]

'EventingQueen92' i just watched that vid and see what you mean! i bet she was gutted after that, spesh when she watched it after. but then again, that was in '86, and this one was in '88, so i guess she improved.

[horsymad100]

even with the mistake i thought the horse and rider was FANTASTIC!!

[EventingQueen92]

watch the other videos of her..youll rethink that... Annette Lewis & Tutein, Hickstead 1986

[jeveuxlesoleil]

Ah, her eq is so lovely compared to her sister's, I always wonder why Michelle was the one falling off and Annette always managed to stay on. Somehow...

[lobeliaoverhill]

never a dull moment with the Lewis sisters!!
