FEI World Cup Final 1 - Speed jumping (Thursday)

My niece and I won tickets to the thursday show, and we got to go backstage and see all the horses; that was amazing!! Arielle (UAE) is STUNNING! Butterfly Flip (SWE) was very friendly and in a great mood. Black Ice (CAN) is gorgeous! Ideo du Thot, Libertina, Flexible, Portofino, Levisto Z, Sandro Boy....and the dressage horses..wow... I'm still in awe! :D
Shutterfly wasn't in :( I think we passed by him when he was outside but I can't be 100% sure.

so weird from sandro boy and markus ehning!

too bad! :(

Thanks for watching & commenting!

Yeah I was very surprised by Ehning & Sandro Boy, especially on that fence/obstacle (don't know the name in english, sorry) since it has a good jump-off point and all.

Such a shame, but it's a relief for us amateurs to know that it can happen to the best riders & horses as well.

@ 7:40 did the camera get foggier? =P

[eastie3peastie]

I can't believe you got to go to that!! And get to go backstage! You're SOOOO lucky! I wish I was there! But I did watch it on TV =)

[horselovergirl98]

wow i definitely did NOT expect that from sandro boy...and they were doing SO well too! :(

[2009Equine]

I wanna be a show jumper when I grow up! :)

@penelabelle he needn't appear enthusiastic as he is extremely talented and has a huge stride so he doesn't look fast, but is; he's eighteen now and still very sure-footed and a winner at jump-offs, but everyone knows he's got a special character and if anything frightens him he will stop. At the time I believe it was a flashlight of a camera when he turned the corner and passed the hedge; can't believe that horselovers will use them at all!

[penelabelle]

@ToboeLuver15 was having an off day if you watch the start of him he doesnt seem as enthusiastic as the other horses

i dunno how i knew that i know hardly anything but yeah i knew that this horse wasnt keen to jump today

[crazywatergirl923]

[ToboeLuver15]

4:46 is a refusal? but its not near da jump da horse was just having a teenage moment... ya know being moody and stuff, wow

[MarinaMassacre499]

[equistera]
