1077 aboard Jupiter, not Panama. And, a wild ride it was. 30 minutes in the warm-up ring on a horse she'd never ridden (nor seen go before) and she was into the ring for her finals round. Now that's confidence!

  • Spurs aren't used solely for speed... sprus are used to collect the horse up, lengthen out, listen and become more responsive to the riders leg. I ride my jumper, who requires zero leg over fences, in spurs for the extra little umpf when I need it.

  • I don't think quitting when the situation is a little rough makes someone "good." Sure, it wasn't a great match, but I give her props for trying, even if it wasn't a stellar round. These "point chasers" are there to win; they've done what it takes to get there. Not one of them are about to give up, at finals of all places.

  • Shame about the knockdown and refusal..

  • GORGEOUS horse, great rider!! this is exactly what i do!! i go to a show and they assign me a horse i've never ridden before. ur not allowed to school it, so the first time i ride it is in the show ring about 2 minutes before the class starts being judged. it's tough, but it's really good for ur riding because u learn how to handle different kinds of horses and u still have to look pretty and equitate while doing it, even if u have the most idiotic horse in the world.

  • @horseluver12314 I think she did a very nice job with a rather tough horse---he certainly liked to charge his fences, and she tactfully got him back really well. She didn't let his stop bother her, but just came back around for a nice jump. Well done.

  • I give her credit, he looked like a tough ride and a lot of horse over those jumps. Beautiful riding, very talented rider.

  • Please go watch my video of me jumping my horse bolero!

    Feedback would nice, so rate & comment :)

  • he would make a great jumper!

  • good job. Excpecially controlling that horse

  • @horsefrk18 They call it a wild ride because everyone else there had mega-fancy million-dollar hunter/medal horses. The fact that she rode a JUMPER horse in a really well-known ring over spooky jumps is amazing. Also, any equitation/hunter rider would know that a rail is an automatic 40 for a score, and a refusal is a big fat DQ.

  • You did great especially since it was an unfamiliar horse. :) Cute horse btw.

  • @HoofbeatsofSmokey ** i think
