The standard has become so high that the course designers are making the jumps more and more difficult. I think they are asking too much of the horses now.
That’s the point, it’s supposed to be challenging. These horses are literally bred to jump huge, they love it. If they didn’t want to jump they wouldn’t
There was a bad set up at a schooling jumper show I was recently at. It was supposed to be a regular bending line, but someone set the jumps too close together, which made it require a serpentine motion instead of a regular bend. The serpentine then demanded a really tight turn after a fairly big oxer(three feet, big for a schooling show), then two lead changes in open space just to get in front of the jump straight, which was another oxer. Me and my horse did it fine, as he tends to be quite brave and forgiving for weird distances, but several other students refused it just because of the strange set up. If they’re doing things like that at schooling shows I can’t imagine the stress they’re putting on more advanced riders.
I really dislike all the negativity in the comment sections. I see tons of negativity on most horse riding videos it’s kind of sad. I hope things lighten up a bit in the future. We all make mistakes and that’s ok. Peace ✌🏻
And welcome to the know it all comment sections 😂 1. These horse definitely weren’t injured they are pretty tough creatures 2. These guys are world champions they know how to ride better then you so stop criticising them And seriously just get over yourselves!!😤
If he knew how to ride his horse would have jumped OVER the obstacle and not through it.. He was only thinking about winning and not about how he should ride.
Sometimes a horse as a mind of its own... and sometimes are horse just forgets to jump, it happens, its not always the riders fault, it could just be it didn't want to or it forgot how high it needed to jump... :D
Thisname If he didn't know how to ride his horse he wouldn't be in the world cup, trust me. Sometimes riders do mistakes. He obviously counted the strides when he walked it himself, it just didn't go as planned. He probably accidently turned to late before the fence or whatever so the distance to the fence ended up to far away so the amount of strides he counted wasn't enough. It's really hard you know, and lack of sense of distance is the biggest reason to why people get stuck on low levels with their horses in showjumping. Stop thinking you know better than a world cup showjumper. (sorry for bad english, i hope y'all understand anyways)

Amazing how he jumped that last one but I don't like the way he rides, horse seems to be filled with adrenaline and he pulls on the reins during the canter after the last jump :(
You can’t exactly expect a horse to be calm and collected over a jump off round with fences this high...some horses are more level headed and chilled than others, and some are very excitable and hot. Either way, jump offs aren’t about looking pretty, they’re about getting over the fences clear as quickly as possible. If that means your horse gets a little bit hot and you need to hold them steady, so be it.
The point of show jumping isn't how you look, unlike hunter. It's just about the fastest time and lowest amount of faults. Going very quick isn't going to look pretty.
Sophia- Maria it's unconventional, that doesn't mean it's worse. Bosty 's style often looks as if it made the job harder for the horses when it really doesn't. He almost always gets them to the right spot in the right way and is very balanced. I'm not saying it's the best way of riding (and I don't think he can do it any other way) but it sure is ok for the horses and they can get the job done this way. They're not princesses after all...on top of that he truly loves his horses
I didn't like any of the jump-off rounds; it's time to have some more of the rounds of the likes of Ehning, before all, Bengtsson or Wathelet. And, JatCat, going quickly may also look pretty with the right people!
Wow I'm actually shocked people didn't lash out at me which is a very nice change for the internet. I can 100% see that he definitely knows how to get those distances and how else are you going to stay on the horse with this type of riding without balance? There's no doubt he's skilled and that he loves his horses but I still can't help but feel bad for them when they're getting their faces yanked at every time he lands. (Please do understand I'm not a perfect rider by any means but this is just what I'm being taught so this is just what I think)
+Sophia- Maria I honestly agree. I mean I'm a hunter jumper and there's a way to get around the course, even a jump-off without yanking the horse's face around. Even the more hot horses. I see more and more riders use the horse's mouth as steering instead of using their legs and seat, it's especially bad when you see top riders do it.
Everything I'm seeing in the comments: 1: OMG horse abuse! Horses aren't suppose to jump! 2: Did you see that last guys leg!? 3: poor horses... 4: YAY finally a hackamore! XD goodness, so much negativity and such (but some nice things are here thankfully). Thank you if you made a positive comment because that's what we all need
Come on its horse people, they are all crazy, and if you didn't ride exactly like they want you to it's abuse to the horse. Never met a more judgemental group of people. 😂😂😂
That guy really annoyed me... He made his horse gallop to a jump just so he could win a stupid prize and probably ended up injuring his horse after he crashed through that jump
Ok that is a terrible video but look what you cowboys do with the barrel racers You are also very cruel so please stop bashing English riding We Do Not Grab Onto Any Horn Have fun falling off
I agree with you. Horses' legs were never designed to be constantly jumping over higher and higher fences. !500 pounds coming down on those legs over and over again. And they just keep on upping the ante. Then they throw in speed. Horrible.
Sydney No Horses are made to run run from their enemies. Not to be pressured to "show jumping" I think it's a ridiculous sport and the riders often blame the poor horse for it not winning. They are so aggressive and should not be allowed to ride....
People need to learn how to get soft hands if they want to ride with a bit. I really wish it was a rule to not have a bit in competitions, I ride all my horses bit less and they perform wonderfully and never give me attitude or disrespect. It’s sad people can’t even keep their hands still when riding to a jump. They should have more rules about the riders eq and what kind of bit they use.
Mia Wilson OMG are you dumb or stupid.... Literally having soft hands doesn't affect the horse less, they still have a painful, uncomfortable, and unnatural peice of metal in it's mouth.... People come up with excuses like, "I use soft hands so it hurts the horse less" IT STILL HURTS THE HORSE, WETHER YOU TUG REPEATEDLY OR HAVE "SOFT HANDS" learn how to ride in a hackamore. I have heard this way to much in the horse world and it is so annoying. Go watch Think Like a Horse, he talks a lot about stuff like I told you, maybe he will help you grow more brain cells
Wow, that was incredibly rude. Besides that, the think like a horse dude has no credibility. I don't think the girl who wrote the original post deserved you being so disrespectful to her.
... So against bits but has no idea hackamore can be just as painful smh If horses hated bits so much and it hurt them they would show it and not take it, bits are supposed to put pressure not pain..just like a hackamore uses pressure..just in another place. Now different bits use different ways to put pressure, just like sidepull and hackamore works a little different even tho both are bitless. Anything can be used wrong and cause pain for horses/animals we have as pets if you misuse it, everything from blankets/rugs and leg wraps to bits, spurs, saddles etc. Anyway, the bit doesnt automatically hurt the horse just cause its metal and is in its mouth. I've seen so many people use hackamores and thinking it would just be better for them to use a light bit for more comfortable control rather than tug and drag like a crazy person with a hack.
Bit less is literally just as bad. With a hackamore you put pressure on the nose, which can stop clear breathing from the nostrils if you put enough pressure, and most people do with it, you have to have so so light on the rein for a hackamore, otherwise you can obscure the breathing. A bit is supposed to make the horse suck on it, and feel a little pressure. A horse is also a lot stronger than what we give them credit for, they can withstand a lot. :D
Do you know how much those horses love to jump? They are so exited to get out there are jump a coarse with under 12 jumps. Also they don't get worked that hard, they don't jump that high every day. They are absolutely FINE
Of course it's hard.. and they are pulling on the bit pretty badly.. but those horses are treated realy nicely, litterarly like millionares.. as long as it's not to often it is not as bad. They work just like other athletes😄
True!! and their posture is horrible!!! They don't understand the concept of a straight spine!!! If ever in doubt if its a man or women on a horse, just like at the spine and see if its straight or hunched!!! :D
Not exactly fair guys. You can't just generalise like that. It may be the case but at the same time look at people like Monty Roberts. You gonna call him sloppy too? Just saying, don't generalise like that.
Lauren Barnes it is fair to generalising in Thai case when 9 out of 10 male show jumping riders have a curved back instead of a straight one. :) So yes, I will judge them for not straightening their back.
@Phynchen did you not see them not being able to pick up their feet? Most of the riders will use a whip before the jump to make sure the horse doesn't stop and also these riders have horrible seats😳
You're not supposed to ride like that? Like, quit flaxing your elbows and pulling the poor horses mouth? Riding is about SMALL movements and staying still in the saddle...
Nah, riding is about winning ribbons, money and prestige, being the fastest, strongest, flashiest, while putting absolutely no effort into whatever you're doing. Welcome to modern equestrian sports.
That's more about Hunt-seat/Hunter jumping. This is showjumping, just about being fast and clean. Hunter/hunt-seat jumping is more about your equitation, form, etc.
Dear FEI and FN, wake up, the competitions are to hardk high an wide... horses and rIder should not jump soo hard, change rules!!! Or by the time no one likes to see riding!!!!!
