Wicker Furniture = Interesting Horse Jump

[CanterQueen820]

i keep watching this video! Drake is sooooo pretty!

[idahofreezeout]

Good job. For the girl on the bay horse, if you keep your hands down and quiet, your horse will more likely be more relaxed and help your steering. :) also try to get the paint more engaged In his hind end.he'll make clean changes then

[maremare1220]

that could have potentially been dangerous :/ The paint could have caught his feet

[dragonfly1030]

@maremare1220 Yes, and a horse can trip and break its neck in an arena. Or, a horse can be put to an off distance and have a rotational fall over regular jump poles. My point: while an unusual use of a piece of wicker furniture, the riders were competent enough to get their mounts to it correctly, and it poses no more threat than something one would encounter on a cross country course. Getting on a horse is potentially dangerous, always. This wasn't done by backyard idiots.

i looooooooooooooooooooove the way the first horse jumps !!!

[dragonfly1030]

Thanks, I painted it! :D Never jumped it, but at least I painted it....haha

[jumpergurl4190]

@dragonfly1030 How big is it? Looks like 3'3ish...good ride btw. Very nice.

[EmmaMJ1]

WOW , That fist horse made such a beautifull jups AMAZING very good keep going!

[jmdnarri]

"Almost anything lying around can be a jump" My kind of horse people!!

[mdgrl56]

man you guys have some awesome jumps!

[dragonfly1030]

His horses hardly bat an eye at most things when they go to shows, because they've seen much more interesting/colorful stuff at home! I've not jumped the large black coop in that ring--I have issues with stuff that big that's solid. :)

[mdgrl56]

haha i bet that's really good show prep!! yeah that is a pretty big look coop but awesome too! I agree with the big and solid fear.

[YarraValleyGals]

I like this rider!

And those jumps are very interesting!

He's a lot softer than the rider on the roan horse, and he lets the horse come up to him instead of exaggerating his movement like the other rider and WAY over folding.

Gorgeous horses =)

[ggymnastics]

I have one question is the first horse always that good? cause if he is I WANT HIM

[alykenzie]

Well Those Are Definately The Wierdest Jumps I've Ever Seen! Lol.. But What A Good Stud For Taking Them All In Stride!

[iluvlinus]

thats really good that theres so many interesting jumps there!! i bet that will get those horses ready fro almost any jump they may encounter

[dragonfly1030]

Yeah, most of his horses are pretty bombproof (or crazy jump proof!). :)

[Jezzii975]

gorgeous, he's a really good rider.. such a trusting horse!

after he jumped the wicker seat thing, i thought he was gonna jump the fence out!! lol

[bRiA4sHo]

why are you landing so hard in the saddle after the jump try to stay out of the saddle a stride after the jump it is just easier on the horses back but overall good:)

[dragonfly1030]

Neither of the people in this video are me.

[Goodiversion]

wow, you don't see much boy riders these days. good job :)

[dragonfly1030]

He's one of the few and the proud, that's for sure!

[horseshoequeen]

what is your arena made of?

it sounds like its made of gravel!lol!

[dragonfly1030]

It's not gravel, it's some kind of all weather footing.

[PipoHippo92]

lol sometimes u just gotta improvise haha nice =D

[cwaabaa]

woah, theyre good

[ridingxruffian]

Very creative jumps. Ours are so boring. :P

[head1st4hal0s]

wow the paint's knees were perfectly square and he was so calm to those jumps!

im amazed at how wonderful he is!

[boomshokababy1]

why didnt they jump the blue flames?

[dragonfly1030]

Earl was going to, but as he said on here, he was sure where she was headed and didn't want to run into her.

[marn101905]

cool jumos!! any horse i tide would spoke!

[TheEquestrian22]

bein' all bad-ass with that flame jump hah

[tofgsu]

Awhh.... what a cute horse. He didn't even look at the furniture!!!!

[Katiepoo12895]

dude, I love your jumps. xD totally interesting use of some things. =P

But anywho, LOVE the horse, looks almost like my paint, maybe he's an Irish Sport horse... nobody can figure out what he is, but looks warmbloodish. xD But w/e. lol LOVELY!!!

[holypanchit]

his canter could be a bit more forward and your leg should be farther back underneath you. as well, i'd like to see a bit bigger release. otherwise, you two look fantastic! what a beautiful horse.

[dragonfly1030]

Neither one is me, but just out of curiosity, which rider are you talking about?

[holypanchit]

the one on the paint.

[holypanchit]

i absolutely ADORE that paint! i think you could be a bit more forward, but otherwise it looked beautiful. what a gorgeous horse.

[dragonfly1030]

Sorry, didn't see your other comment here. That's not me, that's a 6' guy. I'm a 5'3 girl... :)

[beenbear4ever1929]

you guys look great!

keep up the good work!!

[madicarr]

lol idk how that is terrifying?

maby in person?

idk

but p.s.

love the paint

and the jumps look really cool

esp the chair one hahahaha :D

[rararea]

naw i like the piebald. hes cute

[JumpinTheClouds]

that red roan is the prettiest horse I have ever seen. I'm serious. Those are some pretty snazzy looking horses you have in that ring. Impressive jumping as well! Nice job.

[ringrang21]

Ya that horse is at my barn...she's a great jumper and has had some gorgeous babies

[ashleyfield71]

the roan looked liek an appy to me

buti could be wrong :)

[dragonfly1030]

it's an appy :)

[ashleyfield71]

yup thought soo.

lol

[JumperRider]

Oh my that chair fence scares me, whew. Are they really just, chair? To me that seems really unsafe (Im not lecturing or being mean, just saying how I feel). If something went wrong, I personally wouldnt want to land on a chair. That flames wall is really cool.

[dragonfly1030]

It could be unsafe, I agree--but technically any cross country jump isn't the best to land on, either...as the jump will still be there after you and your horse get tumbled. The good thing with wicker is, it's not the strongest wood. If, God forbid, someone crashes onto it, it's gonna fall apart pretty easily.

[JumperRider]

Yes, very true. You know, wicker isnt very comfortable to sit on much less fall on. Haha

[dragonfly1030]

Yeah, I've never been a fan myself. Someone was actually getting rid of this furniture, and somehow, it found its way to the farm and into the ring...and the rest is history.

[BabGurlMariax]

haha i love the chair jump lol what surface have u got is it that new gel one like the on that gives u more spring or sumfink ? wb soon =D x

[dragonfly1030]

Nah, it's an all weather surface...I don't know the exact mix, but there's no gel in there. :)

[BabGurlMariax]

lol oki =] u have a gawjus horse btw =] i love coloureds x

[BabGurlMariax]

oki =] x

[horserythm7777]

What kind of jumps fo you have. Are you guys like poor or something?? The paint horse tucks his knees really nicly...the riderdoes nothing!

[dragonfly1030]

The jumps are considerably less poor than your grammar. Some people would rather make their own than shell out extra money, and consider this--if your horse is only ever doing the usual styles of jumps, what will happen if you decide to do cross country and point it at an unusual obstacle? Good luck. These horses have seen it all and know their job, no matter what you point them at.

[dragonfly1030]

I won't even begin to comment on the riding in your ONE video. Let's just say I can see why you disabled comments and embedding. Are you guys like, internet challenged or something?? Can you not afford a nice camera to make numerous videos and a good video production program?

[Kayleigh1492]

hahaha love the chair jupm..lol

[horseluver33]

beautiful. i luv the girl in blue... let me know when u r selling ither of those horses

[misshunny]

hi there thats a realli good idea for a jump lol

check out my videos and tell me what ya think

thanks xxx

[luv0hannah]

love the horses♥

[horseluver33]

that furniture jump is so clever...luv the idea. gorgeous horse

[prettypretypandabear]

I love the girl in the blue shirt... lol that one person thought that the guy on the paint is a girl.. hehe. all are lovely riders and very nice jumper horses! :D

[eventingislife15]

ahhh hes gorgeous, the jumps are awesome, and the riders are all really good :]

[xxrebelxx72]

haha thats too cute!

[happyappy62]

Brave horses! Mine would be like "See you later! No way I'm jumping this!"

[alykenzie]

Those are the oddest jumps I think i have ever seen in my life! You all rode well but the girl on the gypsy cob(thats what it looked like) should watch her leg it slips back every now and then.

[graceloveseventing]

wow, this kinda reminds me of when we were little and we used to gallop our two legged horses over bucket standards and broom oxers, except yall are on real horses, lol!!!!

[gottagallop911]

you both ride well and have VERY pretty horses.

[barrelracingcowgirl1]

wow amazing horse, i also jump a stallion and i find i like working with them better, more fire over thosejumps usually, excellent riding

[xemily09x]

the ugly person in the blue tee-shirt on the ugly appie is ugly

[dragonfly1030]

The person who manages to use "ugly" three times in a senseless comment is clearly very, very mature. Hats off to you and your bitterness. Go back to cowering behind your keyboard and hating the world and, inevitably, yourself...and have a nice day, damn it. :)

[keylime1602]

Haha! That just made my day! "damn it.:)"

[tractorsrock]

haha that is a REALLy gr8 comeback! haha 'nice day!' YOU KILL ME! soz im in a really giddy mood atm HAHAHHA

[dragonfly1030]

Thanks. This stallion was originally imported from Ireland, and looks a whole lot beefier when he has a rider who isn't 6'5" on his back! :) Drake is one of the most calm stallions I've ever had the opportunity to see/work with, and is definitely beautiful.

[prettypretypandabear]

cute horse

[girlluvu123]

AWW! nice little pony ur ridng i have a faVorite pony named domino i don't own him i just ride and love him!

[girlluvu123]
