SHOWJUMPING: Pikadero & Hap Hansen -- never a dull moment!

Uploaded on a request, this video highlights the amazing stallion Pikadero... who, it seemed, always gave Hap something of an unexpected "event" in any given ride!

He was a thrill to watch: you never knew what would happen, but would be essentially guaranteed that something would! What a fun horse!

The first clip is of the 1995 Brookside Classic, the same class where Piñon Katja executed her famous "oxer twostep", which can be seen in the following clip:

Second clip is from the 1996 Red Robin Grand Prix of High Prairie, won by Damian Gardner and the incredible Piñon Finnigan.

I've been accused of not showing any love to the West Coast champions, here in my collection of 1990s superhorses. So allow this clip to be the start.

I will definitely be posting vids of the following:
Oskar (Laura O'Connor)
Amerika 7 (Hap Hansen)
America 1 (Susie Hutchison)
Cantini (Peter Breakwell)
Figaro (Leslie Steele)

...and of course, the great Piñon horses:
Katja, Patriot, Lili, Muldoon, Sullivan, and the greatest of them all, Finnigan!

Still searching for a vid of Samsung Woodstock!

I acquired a gelding by Pinion Patriot and I'm trying to find info, besides a pedigree. There doesn't seem to be much out there. Do you have video clips of any of those Pinion horses?

I found that Damian Gardiner is or was represented as the owner/agent.

Well, as clearly stated in the info box, I do plan to post a video featuring the great Piñon horses. The six mentioned are the six that will be featured.

No telling the time frame though, as I recently lost the software that I use to digitize them in a computer crash. As soon as I can get it replaced (I'm looking for a hard2find exact replica of what I had), I'll resume posting to my 1990s superhorse collection.

Thanks for uploading this! It's great to see Hap in his glory days/ I'm accustomed to seeing him zipping around the shows on his scooter :)

[ImmortalSynn]

Ouch! :-/

Well, stay tuned... I've got several great rides of his, aboard the mega-mare Amerika 7, that I plan on posting.

Might post some of him with Accord and the Developer as well. Still haven't decided on how/if I want to present those two though.

Oh yeah, and add Fairway to that as well.
