This sport is unique because you're really rooting for everyone. You might want your country's horse and rider to win but really you want them all to do well.
i love how michael greeve didn't beat his horse after the refusal, he just quietly rode that jump and went on with the competition. lovely horsemanship ❤️
I think what annoys me the most is when people start bitching about the sport not every rider will beat their horse because of refusal like let’s not hate on the sport for a bunch of people with terrible horsemanship there’s a lot of good riders in this sport
@@jesselee8659 i didnt say anything hating on the sport.. ive been riding for 4 years, i know that. im just saying unfortunately not everyone respects their horses especially at higher levels.
Jumping starts at 4:00 Seconds jumper: 7:29 Third jumper: 9:05 Fourth jumper: 13:35 Fifth jumper: 15:51 And that’s all I can get up to cause I don’t have two hours
Sometimes a softer bit is better than a hackamore. Hackamores are actually quite harsh on the horses face. Bits are only sore if you rely heavily on them, I do like that he didn’t have any spurs or crop though
I don’t use spurs but for the jumpers round I’m pretty sure crops are required attire and as other people said hackamores are rough on the horses mouth. She also got 14 time penalties, so there.
Crops aren’t required - it’s an aid many riders use as an insurance policy. They ride with it, they don’t use it. Hence why it’s an insurance policy. Spurs aren’t bad if you use them right. Hackamores can’t be harsh on a horse’s mouth if they stay away from their mouth. They’re harsh on the nose and other sensitive areas on it’s head, but not it’s mouth.
@@meganproffitt424Thanks. It would be even more entertaining as part of the commentary. Likewise, they could give the height and spread of the jumps. Numbers are intrinsic to sports.
@@sanniepstein4835 I agree. This commentator specifically just seems bored with it. I do know - if you watch it live and you comment as it's livestreaming in the live chat, some of the commentators read those and that's a way to get involved with the class.
It would but say the rider went to enter but they didn't know the age or hight or it because there riding and different person horse and don't tell me that people that jump in the FEI don't ride other peoples horses!!
EvieMay Movies the horse was too far off the first part of the combination then couldn’t make up the two strides to get over the second part, then he smacked him to encourage him to reach for the fence but the miscommunication and the horse probably thought it wouldn’t make it so it crashed through it instead.
@@miabusby4320 Playing it back, she only had one hand on the reins and it seems that she used her one hand to support all of her balance. Really sat back down on her butt and just was holding onto his face for dear life. Even if they cleared it there's no way he would of jumped the third fence.
I have to ride bit less why my horse hates bits I tried snaffle bit then extra bits my horse wouldn’t turn jump or run on my jump course so I gotta go bit less
I honestly dont care if you ride in a bit, or no bit. Whatever works for your horse is best! Some horses need a bit to have an easier understanding of contact, or need a little redirection if they are speedy, or nervous. Other horses are quiet and understand contact quite well, and dont need a bit!
Swedish rider at 17:00 never should have jumped that last fence on way out after crashing through the combination. Horse was stinging after mishap and was actually looking lame after she chose to jump him over one more fence. Bad decision.
Y'all need to calm TF down about 17:00. The rider made the safest decision for herself and the horse. She felt it backing off the second jump but had too much momentum to stop safely, and not enough room to go out the side door without crashing into a standard. You think she should have tried to get the horse to go from landing off a forward stride to a big oxer, then within two strides skid to a stop? The horse would absolutely hurt itself attempting that. It could pull a muscle or wrench a joint or tear a tendon. She had to encourage the horse to attempt the jump and believed it capable of getting over. Remember that these jumps have safety cups, so even if the horse lands on top of it, they'll break away underneath instead of causing it to fall. There was absolutely no room for a gentle touch from the crop. This was an emergency situation and she could NOT afford to "ask." This is a situation in which you NEED to "tell" to keep you both safe. Maybe you would risk a horse doing serious and permanent injury to itself attempting a stop or a turn like that because you think it's worse that it gets a sting for a few seconds from a crop. If so, maybe you shouldn't be making decisions for a horse because your decision-making is dangerous.
Agreed. It was either make her horse jump and hope it would get over the jump as safely as possible, or try to stop or run onto and risk slamming into that jump or a nearby jump and seriously injuring herself and her horse. As a rider, it’s your responsibility to put both your and your horse’s safety before your desire to win a competition. If someone would rather risk their horses safety because “hitting horse with stick bad!” then they shouldn’t be riding.
watchgoose trust me I have. My man was skinny and underfed when he came and now he has back leg issues. We will stock up big time if he’s in a stall for more than 2 days. And one time I got him out to ride him from a stall. No one out him out and the walk felt like it was sticking. I tried a trot for a 1/2 a second and long story short we worked on bending
@Jo Jo Cocking omg yes I knew something was off with the way he was kind of bobbing his head, I tried to figure out what it was I just couldn’t. And yeah, there was lots of faults probably from the injury.
Something probably happened in the warm up. Mad respect to the rider to pull out instead of worrying about their ego. That has to suck to work really hard and your horse goes lame (at least I think it was hard to tell)
Ingrid Still, it distracted the horse 😂 I have nothing wrong with the appropriate use of whips and crops, but the key word here is "Smacked". Horses should not be smacked.
@@simplywonderful2548 Yeah, the horse was already a bit unsteady after knocking down the first obstacle, but it regained it's footing, so it could have jumped well.... definitely not half the height of the obstacle. That whip obviously disturbed it further.
Susan Fitzpatrick was my age (20) in this and she was competing with people who are 7 years older than her and she did so amazing I just wanted to acknowledge her 😍✨inspiring ✨part in this competition
18:00 : Beautiful ride, heels were down, she went right back into her position after the jump and she didn’t fall out of her 2 point, amazing! 17:00 : Horrible ride, a crop is not supposed to be used as a torture device, if ur horse tripped over the first jump, u shouldn’t have jumped the next jump. Edit: I’m not saying 18:00 was a beautiful ride because she got clear, NO, I am saying that because she had great heels and a nice form. :)
Yeah XD I mean I get the lady whipping her horse so it jumped through indeed was shitty, but all those glamorising the one who used a hackamore... Please, some people there indeed messed up. But no, neither bits nor whips are ab*sive if used correctly so keep your so-called wisdom.
Ella F you know, Bitless can be as bad a bits. It depends in the horse, crops can be good and bad. And spurs can too. You just need to use everything correctly and there would be no issues
Loved that shane breen won... in his first round round he came in with high head carriage on his horse allowing him to look around and stay off the bit.
Shane Breen (IRE) and Ipswich Van Wolfsakker(sp?) - what a great 1 st round - that horse came to work he was very engaged in the jumps - well! then I watched the jump off - HOLY MOLY!! WTG Ipswich and Shane Breen.
37.44 i loove how pieter knew it wasnt his horses day and said its okay you dont have to do it and gave him a pat after showing his horse it okay that he wasnt having a good day and he had pretty soft hands and wasnt yanking on the mouth like other riders
Bitless doesn't mean gentler. It's just means they have to use Spurs or crops to get the horse to do what they want it to do. Also it depends on the animal, some horses like the bit (they like to chew on it) where as others don't.
@@arizonasucculent8632 No, you can ride bitless without a crop or spurs. And yeah they like to chew on it, but then it gets yanked on and is painful. If you "have to use spurs or a crop" than you need to train your animals better.
@@wolfiecorn1588 you can ride bitless without crops or Spurs yes, but in competitions no. Bitless isn't always positive, the nose strap can put uncomfortable presser on the nose of the horse and can rub. Crops and Spurs unless used propey (like in this video) are a riders best friend, they aren't meant to be mean it's just to correct the horse or encourage them. However, people who continuously smack their horses with the crop or dig their Spurs into the horses side, just because they want them to go faster, is abuse.
@@arizonasucculent8632 Yes, but the key word here is if used proper. And you can ride bitless without Spurs or a Crop in competitions its just people not trust there animal. If you don't trust your animal to do what you want than you need to train more. If you "have" to put a piece of metal that is very painful in your partners mouth you need to train it better.
What a great show this was! Horses are fantastic, and exercise the entire body while riding. But I say _Mules for the Trail & Athletic Riders Win_! 👍👍⭐🐂🐎🐎🤠
Late to the party but can we have a round of applause for the ring announcer - so complimentary to everyone even when they've had a tough round and really keeping the crowd engaged.
All of you complaining about the women who crashed down the line, you shouldn’t be talking I bet none of you are at this level and don’t understand her own horse like she does. Honestly keep your comments to yourself and appreciate the other rides.
It really depends on the horse with whips. Some horses do much better with a whip as a steering aid, or a reinforcement to move. I do agree, she absolutely did not need to whip her horse in that scenario. But once again, it depends on the horse.
@@Asgeration I use a crop as a correction or reminder most of the time. It's not bad unless used where the horse has no idea what you're asking or it's used too much/hard. Usually if I'm riding a fresh horse I drop the crop though as a crop tends to just bug the horse even more if they're already frustrated.
Well it makes them go faster but it causes more problems than solving any I used to use one because my horse is super lazy but I realized she refused more jumps with the whip so I tossed it in the grass lol I didn’t need it any more
Well some need bits, they work better with them. Others, like this one, don't need them. I agree, wow what a beauty! Bays are kinda boring, but wow this one carries itself so stunningly!!
i love how michael greeve didn't beat his horse after the refusal, he just quietly rode that jump and went on with the competition. lovely horsemanship ️
Feather, Fur and Forensics While it’s nice to see bitless options being used, bitless isn’t always the best option for your horse. It’s all about what pressure your horse responds to and likes. That doesn’t mean I support those torture devices people call bits, like twisted wires, but some horses prefer a soft snaffle or a leather bit over the pressure on their nose :) also, do they allow leather bits in show jumping?
sanni I agree, more about the breeds, hands, & studs they came from. So happy the commentator went early before presentations where finished as he just kept talking over the presentation...!!!
I am aware that Barbara did not have a clean round, but, I did love it how even though her horse refused the jump, she still supported it! This action is very heart-warming!
Yeah there’s still a lot of good riders in the sport and I feel like there are some people out there who just hate on the sport without really watching and watching a lot of it to see that not all riders beat their horses because of a refusal or if they’re acting badly
Sorry but at 17:00 the horse didn’t have enough time to add momentum and power. The horse did not look in good shape if you ask me and that was irresponsible to keep going. It was simply a miscommunication and the horse did not have enough time to sort it out
She did nothing wrong, the horse took a long stride before the jump before that one and then couldn’t make the two strides, she did it to try and make him take a long one but that didn’t work sadly so he crashed, but she shouldn’t of made the horse do that last jump xx, hope this helps, at least this is what I think happened, don’t quote me on it!
This sport is unique because you're really rooting for everyone. You might want your country's horse and rider to win but really you want them all to do well.
I agree 100%
Aww! Yea I agree it's an amazing sport I horse ride aswell I'm a young rider and doing horse riding for 1 and a half years!
wow good sport I agree!!

Yes, stopping may have been a worse decision but pulling on the horses face and not helping by sitting all the way?
It’s so great to see people getting clear rounds and you can see they have a huge bond with the horse and don’t do it for just money, honestly chills.
36:26 that horse was limping and dragging its hind leg, it’s not the riders fault, she couldn’t tell but that’s probably why she had to retire him

I realised that. The rider must be crazy about riding the poor horse! Perhaps that's why it kept knocking the rungs down.
Or maybe he doesn't realize that the horse is in pain
Awww poor horse
it could also be the angle or just the way the horse walks, but i agree it looks a little weird
Jessica Tai Creates possibly he could have.. landed wrong? She just finished her round

Wdym it had 14 faults
Jumbo 78 The horse is bitless and the rider isn’t using spurs or a whip and the horse looks happy and comfortable because of it 🙂🙂
Ella F you do know bitless bridles are even more uncomfortable for the horse right
Ella F you know, Bitless can be as bad a bits. It depends in the horse, crops can be good and bad. And spurs can too. You just need to use everything correctly and there would be no issues
I am in awe, literal awe of these horses and their riders.

Late to the party but can we have a round of applause for the ring announcer - so complimentary to everyone even when they've had a tough round and really keeping the crowd engaged.
Lol why did I get a notification Now 6 hours later that you're streaming? 😂🙄🙄🙄
i LOVE horses and i do horse riding! even though im 9 years old on my mums laptop i can canter! and i jumped a mounting step by accident. hehe! XD
Lol I’m older than you but I have definitely jumped a step stool by accident lol kinda scary but I didn’t fall
Wow! How long have you been riding! I’m 12 but, I haven’t been working on any certain discipline but I mainly jump.
Omg I feel like at on point extruded does it
Omg lol at one point every rider does it
Number 4 is whery beautiful😍😍
Vous êtes les meilleurs
30:00 that horse can jump like no ones business wow
I loved the round where they didn’t use a bit ☺️💗
I watched this on tv last night
Cika went beautifully! Might not have been a clear round but she did all she could, just like the other horses and riders!
Thank you! She really always did her absolute best!
All of you complaining about the women who crashed down the line, you shouldn’t be talking I bet none of you are at this level and don’t understand her own horse like she does. Honestly keep your comments to yourself and appreciate the other rides.
When Turbo missed the jump the whole crowd really went: HUHHHHHHH
VIVA L'ITALIAAAAAA!!!!!!🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
This is definitely one of the hardest courses out there
Well done to the winner and scout brass and 3rd place
Wow this one was so exciting 😍😱
32:01 that was beautiful
The second horse is gorgeous!
17:00 YOU DO NOT NEED A WHIP! It has been proven that whipping a horse doesn’t make them go any faster. Doing that to her horse really messed it up.
It really depends on the horse with whips. Some horses do much better with a whip as a steering aid, or a reinforcement to move. I do agree, she absolutely did not need to whip her horse in that scenario. But once again, it depends on the horse.
True, but I doubt the horse will like it either getting whipped. As for this horse it didn’t work. So yes, I agree
@@Asgeration I use a crop as a correction or reminder most of the time. It's not bad unless used where the horse has no idea what you're asking or it's used too much/hard. Usually if I'm riding a fresh horse I drop the crop though as a crop tends to just bug the horse even more if they're already frustrated.
It always depends on the horse, that’s all I have to say. Whatever works for the horse and they are ok with it I’m sure it’s fine.
Well it makes them go faster but it causes more problems than solving any I used to use one because my horse is super lazy but I realized she refused more jumps with the whip so I tossed it in the grass lol I didn’t need it any more
Id love to come to here to watch it next year!
12:00 peoples who say that horses need bits. Beatiful horse😍
Well some need bits, they work better with them. Others, like this one, don't need them. I agree, wow what a beauty! Bays are kinda boring, but wow this one carries itself so stunningly!!
@@elliteequine3785 Horses don't need bits if they are well trained😌
@@Linglinggh Some still do, because they can't be trained well :)
@@elliteequine3785 what do you mean "can't be trained"?
@@Linglinggh Like well some are either in the wrong hands and so can't be trained properly or well, or some are just so abused that they just can't.
The second horse was such a beautiful horse 🐴👍
If you look at the first one at the refusal watch his left hind
MaKayla Williamson the first one didn’t have a refusal
Savvy Travy the refusal was at 6:02
He did pull quite a bit on the horses mouth
He didn’t set up the horse for it. You’d have had to have a saint of a horse to do what he just asked him to do.
i love how michael greeve didn't beat his horse after the refusal, he just quietly rode that jump and went on with the competition. lovely horsemanship ️
Fei allows bitless now?
Yes, you can ride bitless in Show Jumping.
It has been allowed for years in show jumping 😊
Thankfully
Feather, Fur and Forensics While it’s nice to see bitless options being used, bitless isn’t always the best option for your horse. It’s all about what pressure your horse responds to and likes. That doesn’t mean I support those torture devices people call bits, like twisted wires, but some horses prefer a soft snaffle or a leather bit over the pressure on their nose :) also, do they allow leather bits in show jumping?
@@frostwolf2423 they do allow leather bits and softer bits in show jumping I believe-
sanni I agree, more about the breeds, hands, & studs they came from. So happy the commentator went early before presentations where finished as he just kept talking over the presentation...!!!
I am aware that Barbara did not have a clean round, but, I did love it how even though her horse refused the jump, she still supported it! This action is very heart-warming!
Yeah there’s still a lot of good riders in the sport and I feel like there are some people out there who just hate on the sport without really watching and watching a lot of it to see that not all riders beat their horses because of a refusal or if they’re acting badly
Congratulations Shane. Great job Castle field
i was at the puissance and the commentator just kept going SHHHHH when they werr cantering up to the wall
Sorry but at 17:00 the horse didn’t have enough time to add momentum and power. The horse did not look in good shape if you ask me and that was irresponsible to keep going. It was simply a miscommunication and the horse did not have enough time to sort it out
Very good
1:30:43 Beautiful round!
Turbo Z made it look easy
uhm. Yeah he did, which is what you want in a horse
Beautiful horses, great riders, but CRAZY horse names! Half of them are so funny to say! LOL 🤣
Does anyone else count the striding?!
Good to know I'm not the only one that always does that😂😅🤷♀️
posted on my channel! and credits to you ofc!!!
17:00 The way she hit him with crop upset me by a lot I’ve been riding for 3 and a half years!
How long you’ve been riding is irrelevant. She used the stick exactly the way it was designed. There was no wrongdoing
Megan Proffitt exactly!
She did nothing wrong, the horse took a long stride before the jump before that one and then couldn’t make the two strides, she did it to try and make him take a long one but that didn’t work sadly so he crashed, but she shouldn’t of made the horse do that last jump xx, hope this helps, at least this is what I think happened, don’t quote me on it!
it wasnt the crop that threw the horse off it was her pulling and leaning on the reins that made the jump impossible
Yes, it would be nice to know more information also about the rider
26:46 ignore this I just needed to get back to my spot
Wait that’s actually smart tho
8:28 that jump was gorgeous! And 8:46 that kick after the jump was cute
The rider of Cuidam kept letting him get too close to the jumps. -facepalm. Sad for Burnchurch, would've loved to see him in jumpoff.
Shush, railbird
✨they all did great but it would be nicer to see them pet the horses after all of the hard work they did✨
21:15 000h, matchie matchie🙂, lol.
Im so proud of the i believe fourth rider! He was with a flipping hacamore!
the guy around 22:00 has no control over his horse.
But it's still beautiful, the horse takes the lead and he regains control shortly afterwards
Tic Tac is SOOOO cute!! He also did so well!!
I was there today
So was i
Its so long and exideing but this got me tired and i fell asleep after!!!
17:04 wrong command
Your exactly right
I watched all these irl I’m watching it again in quarantine because the RDS isn’t on this year😕
49:00 my dream horse 😍😍😍
DAVINO Q is my favourite horse on RE-LIVE 💜💜
I agree I love him so mutch
