aberali

This a clip from the movie "the horse in a gray flannel suit" in italian "il cavallo in doppio petto". The horse is Aberali, a thoroughbred rode by Col. Stefano Angioni in some of the most important showjumping competition of the sixties, after he continued his career under the saddle of Kathy Kusner (USA). Here is rode (very well) by Kathy.

It should be very intresting to take a clinic, she is an amazing rider.

Aspercel does sound like a really good name for a horse.

@NatashaSikyta Not that long ago Thoroughbreds were the main horses ridden in world class Grand Prix competitions. They are still widely used for eventing and were at the last Olympics. A well bred Thoroughbred is one hell of a horse for jumping

@deweyrooter Ohyes, Greg Best on Gem, Fred, Rodney Jenkins on Idle Dice, Joe Fargis winning the gold on tiny Touch of class, Steinkraus on Riviera Wonder/ Ksar D'esprit, Miss Bud and Sinjon (also ridden by George Morris). And let's not forget Snowbound !

@NatashaSikyta Have you heard of Jet Run, Gem Twist, For the Moment, Idle Dice, Touch of Class, Riviera Wonder, Untouchable, Miss Budweiser, Ksar d'Esprit, Sinjon, and many more?

Why is it hard to believe? TBs are excellent jumpers. Most of the horses in the Show Jumping Hall of Fame are TBs. Some of the greats include Untouchable, Snowbound, Ksar d'Esprit, Riviera Wonder, Touch of Class, Sinjon, Jet Run, Gem Twist, For the Moment, and many more. They are simply out of fashion now.

Pretty fun to watch this clip with the Italian voice overs.....I can't understand a word they say but I've seen this movie so many times that I know what they mean.
