Its cool watching all your jumper videos with her, then going back and seeing this.

talk about best of both worlds.

Did I hear you say "whoa" before that last fence SuperShorty? lol

[supershorty628]

Haha yeah, that was a failed attempt at not having to circle... I projected a little more than intended.

[mrsvicvan]

@supershorty628 haha i heard that 2. I do it all the time.

[xXSweetBreezeXx]

Sorry this probably sounds really dumb, but what's the difference between handy hunter, and hunt seat?

[supershorty628]

A handy hunter is a specific class with the course designed to show off the ability of the hunter to cope with a variety of situations, including tight turns, rollbacks, trot jumps, hand gallops, etc. Hunt seat is just a general term for a style of riding.

You guys look great in that trip, so steady and your seat is nice and balanced, you look especially nice because you look like a quiet rider, not a whole lot of movement. Your horse is beautiful, too.

[mavious]

[romineerosxoxo]

[equinejumper]

your horse seems to really listen to your leg, great riding!

[supershorty628]

Thank you =]

[ponyhorse9]

Pretty horse and nice round! Did he chip a coulpe times?

[quinnalora]

it actually wasn't perfect, the horse swapped in the triple after fence one and also the hand gallop wasn't fast enough.

[supershorty628]

If you're referring to the first line of 3, which is a 3 to a 3, I think you're seeing things, lol.. and if you're referring to the bending line, it's bending and therefore a swap wouldn't be penalized. She changed her lead when we turned.

Not that I'm saying it was a perfect round or anything, it wasn't.

[julayys]

yeah i agree with the person below me, you should have gotten deffinatley at least 3rd if not better. that was flawless

[laredo454]

omg that's total bullcrap yo should've pinned atleast 3rd beautiful horse and wonderful riding

[ilovehorsez]

Nice round!

[horsegirl5825]

[stuckonrewind]

It was a beautiful round. I wish I could get my horse to go like that! Haha

[ReillyW]

Hey- Nikki is a TB right?

[supershorty628]

Yep.

[alykenzie]

HITS Can Be Opionated.. I really liked it! lol..

[polishhorserider]

Wow, great job riding!

[hrslvr1]

LOL!!!

[hrslvr1]

what did you place?

[supershorty628]

We didn't.. we were called 9th out of 10. The judge just didn't like her, and put us under rounds that were blatantly worse than mine. But hey, that's hunters for you =p

[topazluv]

very nice!!!

[laurenfraser]

What HITS show is it.

[supershorty628]
