@hezakeeper no its called not all jumps are set perfectly, thats why your horse should have enough training to be super adjustable between fences... XC jumps are way more difficult to negotiate than these and the distances are not even necessarily set perfectly within the striding, thats why eventing requires dressage- because you would die on an advanced course without it.
@Revelation7912 nah the course was fine, It just required the riders to actually ride and not be passengers, the girl who won actually rode and didnt interfere with her horse... this course would be better suited to eventers though just because of its technicalities...
this was a well designed course, all the riders rode it really slowly which made their horses not have enough energy to make it through the combination, the course was basically saying "you dont have to slow ur horse down at verticals" and thats why everyone fell because they did slow down
yeah that was a tough, demanding course, but if SO MANY riders crashed THAT badly, obviously the course designer is partly to blame. Those riders were not beginners or riding badly, yes they made mistakes, but people make mistakes on Grand Prix courses all the time and they don't result in dozens of bad crashes. Shame on the course designer.
My guess is most people who are knocking riders have not had any experience at significant heights-much less grand prix level. I would love to sit you all up there on some big ass 17 hand firecracker and have you jump a difficult course like that.

it would at least be nice if the horses were ingaged...a little ingagement would be good for the horses health.

its not a matter of riding its more a matter of training on the horses part.
