is it me or did you just see something truly amazing? :)

@iluvnaz I still love watching this. I had just arrived, turned on my camera and it just happened. Good job Missy!

I wonder if those new air vests would have popped her off if she had one.

that's what's so special about event riders. they seem to have this particular type of super glue on their jods that keeps them in place.

very well recovered, but in that last bit, that hefty smack with the crop was completely unnecessary, so harsh!

[Jaqueline8187]

beautiful and well-trained horse.

[Jaqueline8187]

@Horseygirl495 Does she really hit the horse or is it just in the air?

[breyergirl606]

Oh Jk

[breyergirl606]

Omg she didn't even whip him, she patted him, the whip is in the other hand

[Sniffysmyboy]

I'd done that xD I've done a few of those, one time I was bareback and my pony decided to rear, spin buck and bolt (I was smart to ride him bareback to bring him back into work for the season) and ended up like that. I pulled myself back up (he was fat, so there was something to hold onto) and pulled him up xD Another time I sat like that, bolting around the arena not letting go because my foot was stuck. I ended up accepting my fate after about 5 laps :P

its just a comment, as a horse rider and instructor i do admit that sometimes we use the whips abiot more than we need to, i've done it myself too.

There was no mean intention in my comment, i just think that there was no need for that, but then as i said before we all do sometimes... i do recognize when i did wrong using it, no matter the situation, sometimes it can save us and make a difference between staying on and falling off or even knocking a pole down. No hatting in here, clear...

@PamsieLala You don't know the horse, or it's confidence level.

so you can't speak wether she shou;d have whipped it or not
