I'm not an aussie or a massive fan of heath, but I am a fan of jive magic and his usual rider...so why is heath riding him? lol someone explain XD

[SonnyLees]

Hehehehe! Heath's wife Rozzie is his usual rider! :) Rozzie was away this day I filmed this, it was just before the selection for the Olympics last year.

Gabe :)

PS. I noticed you're friends with Peter from Woznme? I met Peter last weekend down at the Nationals. Rozzie won third in the GP Freestyle after Heath and Brett Parbery. It was a great night! :)

Aggrajohurt its quite clear that you have no idea about anything, you try and sit thru an extension like that!!!! from the way the horse moves and heaths hand he is just going with the movement of the horse and that he is mostly using his seat and his legs, pushing the horse forward.

I think that from now on keep your comments too your self because your just making a fool of your self. BECAUSE YOU HAVE ABSOLUTLY NO IDEA..

Heath you are an amazing rider and congratulations!

[SonnyLees]

Thanks Caity43 it's OK! Some people just don't have a nice thing to say! Last night they had Heath on TV, he's had a stroke! I'm not sure how bad yet but I'll be talking to friends! :( I hope he's OK! He's only 50! :(

He is an Oylmpian, I think he knows what he is doing.

Thank you for this comment! :) I totally agree! :) This video has attracted to much criticism! Everyone is an expert! :( Can't they just be happy for someone having a bit of success! This has been Heaths life ambition! The hurdles he's had to climb to get there, most people would give up! :(

I made this video as a celebration of him actually getting into the Olympics! Not for everyone to pick fault! I'd never get there and neither would 99% of the population!

Thank you!

Gabe :)

Really Really like this horse.. This video was made when my Sky Magic was only 3 weeks old.. He was born 6/9/2008..I dreamed then that he would perform like this horse. He is built a lot like him. Check his stud video..

what breed of warmblood is he exactly?

[horsymad100]

He makes it look effortless! I wish I could do that, but I know nothing about dressage :/

@aggrojoghurt that just shows how much you know as the bit in a horses mouth sits were there are no teeth. plus i highly doubt that you could ride better than Heath.

[GreenWingsPurpletoes]
