Jumping Rio

No crit, it was my first time riding him. Jumps ranged from 2'9 to 3'9ish. The biggest jumps start at 1:40 :P
He was SOOOOOOO fun! :D i havnt ridden another horse other than Gambit in a long time. it was good to have a change :) Hes such an awesome horse! lol yes, hes big and lanky, and perhaps a bit awkward looking, buuuut hes has scope, is loves to jump, and is good at it :) especially for being just a baby.
sorry for all the rambling thoughout the video :/ :P

Soooo, looking back at the footage now, the jumps look tiny.
Reasons for that:
1.The angle is from high up because my dad was standing on top the the bleachers as he filmed.
2.Rio is a GIANT horse! lol
3. The oxer in the two-stride is slightly uneven, if you look at the wing things at stick out on the standards, right across the top of that is 4'3, slightly below it is 4'. the closer side looks to be on about 3'9. but if you look at the other standard you can see its at 4' so its uneven. which makes it like...3'11?? :P whatever, they are the height i am saying they are.
LOOK FOR THE SIGNAL! LOL
(you will understand this if you watched the full video)

in the beginning..
hahah YES, i was looking down to check my diagonal! HAHAHAA what a NOOOOB i am! :P

[CaffaJaff]

He's fab, he's got scope and the bravery to go with it. You ride him so nicely! You're rather amazing hahah

[RexRubyAce821]

(sorry I just won't shut up...) and thumbs up for not being able to stand putting your hair in your helmet. I CANNOT do it, either.

[RexRubyAce821]

There is NOTHING about your riding that anyone would dare critique! I can't seem to figure out how you seem to meet Rio in the takeoff, get your butt back while he's in flight and land without your leg moving at all. Great horse and great EQ.

[RexRubyAce821]

Haha 0:36 shirt billowing in the breeze xD

[peacebeauty101]

Okay this is a fact you can get on ANY horse and jump as high as you want and do the best :D

[LivinLifeTheMegWay]

Your eq was so good on him!!

[lyndsaycowboy]

@increxotty hmmm idk if he's 17.2, mine's 17.3 (take a look) ;) Gorgeous Riding!! Gorgeous Horse!! Keep it up!
