[Puissance] - Not Afraid.

[proud2bpagan]

For that huge wall..is it a fault to knock off blocks,like it is to knock poles off oxers?

[krs7g4]

I understand nervousness and this is an unfair generalization, but every horse I've ever seen ridden in person that was trained English still bucks. It's like they're never trained out of fits. And why in the world wouldn't you want a show jumper to behave and trust you?

[MissWatermelonSundae]

i know people are going to mark this as spam, but i really want to be doing that. im turning 12 this year and ive been riding since i was 4. i love jumping and i am dedicated. im riding advanced horses at my stable and im currently doing a 9 week jumping course. i want to become the youngest rider to ever enter the Grand Prix and World Cup showjumping (':

[StreetCorner100]

@MissWatermelonSundae You understand most off these horses are on pretty strong steroids? Its not a fantasy land and it takes years and years to jump 7 feet. But i support ya so go for it!

[MissWatermelonSundae]

@StreetCorner100 i know that - thats why im working part time with horses, taking jumping lessons 3 times a week & riding 7 days for 2 hours ?

thank you <3

[MistressNever]

did any of them, go over without knocking anything down? :)

[liveloverosie]

wow, wis just wishing that Ellen wid clear it, seeknin. its so high so the horses are just amazing just being able to get over it!<3

[HORSES11607]

i think the grey is a young stallion he is very enegetic

[msbreeden]

correction "fear & intimidation" not "read"

[rebamac96]

somethings really upsetting that white horse

[SpotOnlover284]

@rebamac96 Grey, you mean. It's a grey.

[03firefly]

@rebamac96 Not necessarily. He could be really excited or just releasing some energy built up.

[luna201111]

i like the black horse..and the other brown horse....this brown horse is like a horse in our horse club but this horse in our horse club its very strong and its bucking and shes scared of all :DD and i must ride her now when i go there

[xZauberpferdx]

But wtf is happen with the grey one? xDD

[Pretender771]

Well that was really something> but WHY! are they throwing rap in all these nice vids, I hate it!

[KeeleyAndRubyyy]

Lol love that grey

[laquino5220]

WOW!!!!!!! that grey was beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!

[ValleYaBoy123]

waz the one on the grey ellen whitika? :)

[xZauberpferdx]

Holy Crap! poor horses! :(

[SkippysCopperTop]

@xZauberpferdx if the horses didnt like what they were doing then they wouldnt do it. you cant make a horse do something they dont want to do.

[xZauberpferdx]

@SkippysCopperTop But only 1 horse jumped it without breaking the wall, the other ones just can't jump that high! and do you have a idea what happen if the horse falls? he breaks his legs or worst, his neck!!

[msbreeden]

@SkippysCopperTop It's not as simple as that. the horses are forced to do this - you CAN make a horse do stuff he doesn't wnat to do. It's called "read and intimdiation" and it works really well. They put little nails inside the boots on the front legs so that when the horse jumps he gets "stabbed" if he doesn't jump high enough. There are lots of things we cando to make the horses do what we want. I've done. I'm ashamed to admit it. Never again will I do that crap..

[SpotOnlover284]

@msbreeden OH MY GOD. They DO???? (put little nails in their boots)

[ibenpiien]

@SpotOnlover284 No,

[ilovemypetsandhorses]

Holy crap that wall is HUGE!!!!!

[TheArtisticNuisance]

Anyone else feel like that gray at the end was like "Get off me, I've GOT THIS!" ..? lol

[xhorseloversx]

oh my gosh.

[helgivalur69]

and im proud when my horse jumps 2 feet ..

well he is a 12 yr old icelandic horse (short, though he is tall compared to other icelandic horses) that only just learned jumping

[HarlemManeuvers]

That gray horse was a G

[piperlove808]

AMAZING



[stormyiscomin1]

I subbed.... Sub back!

[breyerfreaks237]

1:31 is my friends horses grandfather!!

[ilovehorses02059]

The scope of the grey when its jumping the first jump holy crap.

[Meluxie]

Well dang, I'd be scared of that fucking wall let alone have my horse jump it. Hot dang. What power for them to make such a leap to begin with WHILE carting their rider on top of that. Shoot. Anyway nice vid.

[Gienzelientje8875]

but the wall is very high...

[kikilufjoe]

my horse wont even try it XD

[annaWinnett]

that's just sick

[mishluvhope]

The horses have to have an unbelievable amount of trust in its rider, to leap of such a wall, that they have no idea what is on the other side... You gotta <3 them

[SpiritSmoosh]

That wall is massive :O

[LarkeLyrics]

@SpiritSmoosh That's Puissance for you :)

[posspig]

To all horse riders competeing in showjumping - NEVER ride your horse slow if you want to win!!!!!!! take a risk and ride it hard you may knock a few down, but your speed will replace the penalties.

[IndulgeProduction]

who said the warmbloods were just 17'2???..lol

[doralane55]

please, they just need to do stretching properly, double poles, whatever, horses will do what they want and what they want us to do, they obviously don't jump those heights as a regular training aid, but when the time comes they will jump, just make sure they can stretch, common sense

[doralane55]

@doralane55 all those 17'2 warmbloods they can do it and many thoroughbreds with training, slow training, limber them up

[LoveMitchelMusso92]

at 2:30 how many ft high is tht jump?

[JCGirl24]

HOw high is that jump?

[starsinger145]

seeing this looks like most of them r scared to jump the brick wall! who wouldnt be !!! it waayyyyy toooo high !!!!!!!! mainly for pros !!!

[budgiebuddywink18]

The white one at 1:22 could so be jumping higher!

[xxmidorifarmerxx]

I just come for the music.

[Logandstump1287779]

White horse:I'M SO ANGRY!!! GET OFFF!!

Chestnut: Lets run around a lot!!! weeee

Dark Brown: Ok i don't think i can do this!!!!

[realvampire98]

thats cruel thats really cruel..

[JCGirl24]

@realvampire98 how? honestly the horses love to do it.

[realvampire98]

@JCGirl24 no the have to do it...

[JCGirl24]

@realvampire98 Yes, that is what they are trained to do, but it's not hurting them in any way. Most horses have a love for it naturally just like how race horses have a heart that loves to run. It's just the spirite of horses it's so unique.

[DarkKingdomBlade]

@realvampire98 not at all. those horses most likely enjoy it. You can even see the white one has so much excitement he can't hold it in (the bucks). Horses love having jobs. These horses obviously love jumping high so puissance became their job. the owners obviously appreciate them, they pat them and appreciate them even when they knocked a wall piece down.

[realvampire98]

@DarkKingdomBlade but its not good for their articular when they jump so high

[DarkKingdomBlade]

@realvampire98 I don't think they practice jumping that high all the time. They probably just do "smaller" (god knows what their small is) fences and a lot of flat work to prepare. To train, they don't need to always jump as high as possible but rather work on getting their impulsion and momentum in the hind end where they take off from. I'm not sure, but I don't believe these horses jump high like this every training session probably just once and a while.

[kf5rider]

i don't like the chestnut... but the grey looks really fun to ride!

[Horses3456782]

if all of them got more speed they would have gotten more air and they would have perfected the brick wall ( in my opinion )

[magicstarconna]

@Horses3456782 could see why you think that, but if they went steadier they would be more bouncy and have more momentum to get over the height of the jump :P also it would be easier for them to find a good stride :) good idea though!

[equine247]

@Horses3456782 well they were holding them back for the striding and impulsion

[95jumpergirl]

@Horses3456782 Generally, horses need a more collected canter to get up and over higher jumps. And more speed to get over a wider jumps.

[PrincexPaygo]

@95jumpergirl they are trying to have a calm and collected round, they are obviously trained how to come into jumps, this is there way,

[ponygal99]

next jumping video you HAVE to use the song... jump around =)

[XXNichtlustigXX]

I love how the chestnut is shaking his head after the jump like "man, these crazy people..." xD

[alwayshorseCRAZY]

stunning

[selenaxxxsaphire]

hoys u dope

[heyponypony]

I love how it's clear these horses love jumping.. at least they're not forcing them to do something the don't want to I guess ;)

[NextToJBieber]

saw this on tv few days ago. so good

[919tiffy]

r they using cheik reins on thhe horses?

[919tiffy]

is that puttting a risk to the horse???? and they r beautiful and amazing.

[chria3886]

I dont think anyone cleared that round...who won!!!!

[anetsixteen366]

What is the name for a horse which is Michael Whitaker??

[TheHorselova4eva]

@anetsixteen366 i think it is Fairview Cyber Space

[anetsixteen366]

@TheHorselova4eva thank you :)

[rosy48842]

dang..I thought the grey was gonna clear it.

[t1mmycak3s]

@rosy48842 OMG I thought the exact same thing, with the way he was jumping the other jumps I would have bet big money that he would have cleared it. LOL

[BendMeDontBreakMe]

Amazingly mean :(

[punchjumper3744]

i love ladina b shes ssuch a comedian

[punchjumper3744]

aww i love this ! subbed sub back would mean alott!

[HatashiLuvsU]

That grey horse is a spirited one! he loves jumping XD

[Spazticmice]

holy shit that is amazing!!!!!!!

[Ega060295]

That is really dangerous

[caromella1]

@Ega060295

This horses have been trained almost their whole lives for this, so even though, yes, it will always pose a risk the showjumping world has taken every possibly precaution to enjoy the sport they all love, as well as the horses. Every last rider wears a helmet, and horses have to qualify to be able to compete in a show like this.

[nhfruzsi]

CRUELITY !!

[LifeLoveEquine]

@nhfruzsi wtf , no its not .

[nhfruzsi]

@LifeLoveEquine watch?v=CYAX5pGQJqg yes, it is. c-r-u-e-l-t-y. language is german, but the pictures explain, that puissance is painful for the horse.. think about it!

[QtipAppaloosa]

@nhfruzsi How so?

[AkitaHaru1]

Didnt catch the white horses name... But he seems more Lets do this shit than the others XD

[QtipAppaloosa]

Love the cremello :)



[CHEVYedsf]

@QtipAppaloosa It's a grey ;)

[QtipAppaloosa]

@CHEVYedsf U sure? It must b pretty old then, for it to have gone all white.

[CHEVYedsf]

@QtipAppaloosa Yes Im sure. Graying is not always affected by age, its affected by how much 'gray' is in its genes. If both parents were grey he horse may gray out completely by a quite young age.

[TheHorselova4eva]

yh i did when i watched it

[PerfectlyUnperfect25]

anyone else watch this or videos like it with their jaw just dropped open and thinking HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE

[olneyrider]

i wonder how high their fences are in the field/ paddock(;

[xxhollyjasperxx]

love how every time i see a vid of ladina b she acts like a mentalist :)

[Shettyfaan]

cruelty to animals!!!!!!!!! to high hindrances...that`s just STUPID

[SexMeIero]

@Shettyfaan Cruelty to animals? These horses are treated entirely better than you think. Believe me, I used to work for the barn my horse came out of, and every day before and after a ride like this, he got the best frickin full body rub down you could ask for. Xrays, scans, everything. Believe me, these horses are not treated cruelly one bit.

[nativepaint95]

@Shettyfaan If you are going to comment negatively, learn how to spell. Seriously. If it was BAD for the horse, they wouldn't allow it.

[ponygal144]

That white horse reminds me of a pony i ride. He is a pain

[Karolina20021]

the white horse is bucking nearlly all the time!

[HeroStorm1]

I was there watching this one! :) It was eventful.

I must say the thing about Ellen Whitaker's horse is she dosn't want to do it, she shows us she's the boss, but just before the jump a few strides before she gets her act together and pulls of a spectacular performance, she bought all of us to complete breathless moments.

Micheal Whitaker's horse is just to nervous, you can see it in his step... he's just too nervous and he just can't bring himself to get into the jump.

[tjcowie98]

the white horse is always haveing a fit but has the best jump in my opinion.

[taetae223]

take the white thingys off the brick wall and i think every horse woulda made that

[taetae223]

what a naughty white horseyy lol

[NebetSeta]

Did any of the horses get over the brick jump with the curved white tops without knocking any down? I'm just curious. How large was that jump - 7 or 8 feet, had to be!  Maybe six something... Anyhow Bravo to all the horses and riders, that's one hell of a jump! Maybe - hopefully! - I'll get to see this in person some year.

[SuperDrifter04]

i like the white one alot! just bc of his beauty and his atitude i just like it!

[IBsagacious]

Would have been better without the stupid rap music.  But if you turn the sound off at least you can watch them jump in peace.

[EquestrianForLife626]

0:57 I love this horse with a passion...<3

[ilovetonto18]

Get Milton in there and he would fly over that wall!

[TheGreatandLovable]

How tall is that wall?! O.o

[parelliisthebest]

[AmoreVivereRidere]

[macnchaz]

[TheAppaloosaJumper]

How high are these horse's fence's in the pasture? lol

[ErikaandCate]

that grey must have been hard as crap to find a distance on ... the rider must have had some serious trust!

[01Lcopper]

Ellen Whitaker is such a badass.

[EquineTurtle911]

the wall jump was amazing! Imagine what the riders would be thinking when they come up to it!

[wildhorses4ever93]
