-
wow that was great!
-
true, but i do really well in the eq ring (not on the highest level, but smaller medal finals and stuff) and so does my sister, and i'm riding a waaaay less than $10,000 horse, and my sister does the pony eqs on a pony my trainer picked up for $300 and she's won many, many eq classes. So yes, the horse does count, but we've taught our horses all the dressage work and flying changes and still managed to do really well.

It would be a lie to say the expensive horse isn't apart of it. Yes, they are very talented, dedicated riders but having a nice warmblood with good training, a flat jump, flying changes, solid basic dressage work and the ability is not cheap. All of these points allow the riders to put a nice round together.

does anyone know what horse she was riding?
-
wow i didnt relize she dropped a rail.

okay..??
i wasn't saying anything bad about her, i was just talking about riders in general. i'm fully aware of the different classes.
What most people need to understand about equitation at this level, is that the horses are made. MAYBE the rider had somehting to do with it, but with all their money why not have it trained for you. These are older horses that have been doing this all their lives. I love eq. and i love eq riders, but people forget about the horse most of the time. They are the ones taking the jumps. If they wanted to they could get us all of their backs. Just saying remember the horses!

wow, awesome ride.
Please before saying that you must have a 6 figure horse to be able to have correct equitation remember that, one is not judged on how "pretty they look." A competitor is judged on how effective his or her aids are.
Please do not insult equitation riders by saying they are only good riders because of their mount
