Louisiana needed it, because it optimizes the number of Euro-side connections. The New York, L.A., Boston, etc flights that can fill a widebody to London on their own, can sustain the early morning and/or late evening arrivals.
and the song headline "One moment in time" is that exactly what he is teaching these days in his clinics in internet "all the time" ...ha ha ha.... greetings from Germany , he is a great teacher and what would i give to have a lesson with him!!!!
Hey, just wondering if there is any chance that you could find a video of Beth Underhill's 2nd place win with Altair in the Du Maurier International 1999 @ Spruce Meadows. I was a young fan of hers and remember watching Altair give it his all when I was a kid.
Probably not. I'll look, but I doubt I have any. Most of my '90s videos are 1994-1998, as I then went to college and didn't have my VCR and taping equipment with me thereafter.
Incredible performance, but I wish the commentators would SHUT UP!!! All the yacking spoiled it!! Its like when I was at a Cavalia show and all the self-proclaimed know-it-all horse experts in the audience wouldnt shut the f$%k up as if they were Olympic level judges.
Despite the awesome screenname, I can tell that you're young.... American announcers HAD to talk through competitions like this in the '80s and '90s, when the horse sports first began to appear on TV in this country, because the overwhelming majority of the audience had NO IDEA what they were watching.
Horse had his ears flat most of the way round. Something not right. Wouldn't surprise me if there was some pain involved in ensuring he hops as high as he does. Didn't like to watch him
This is one horse...like others I've known....who puts his ears back at an angle to listen and pay concentration to what his rider is telling him. They are not pinned back in anger. Huge difference!
Not necessarily. Plenty of other factors involved: terrain clearance, precipitation/contamination, temperature, humidity, etc etc. This flight is was departing a place that's relatively cool, consistent winds, below sea level, and only flying about 60% of its available range (and thus relatively lightly loaded with fuel), and the runway was dry. Were it departing for a longer flight, at higher temps, with the runways wet/rainy, then it would've required significantly more available runway. And that's a 787. There are aircraft that don't have particularly great runway (distance) performance, e.g. 739ERs, due to their rotational issues and the like.
" CRUISING (ISH) " stood 16.1 hh ( 1.65 m ). Not small. Cruising was Deep. meaning deep bodied (girth), like 1980 (alternative) Olympics Gold medalist ""GLADSTONE"". Hugo Simone, a German, rode for Austria. Hugo & Gladstone were the 1st to win the Volvo World Cup Final (1979). At that Alternative Olympics (which was a full sized Olympic track/course), the Olympic Silver went to a great Irish horse ridden by a great rider: Ryan's Son & John Whitaker. There is no record on the internet of who won the 1980 Olympic Bronze ?!! In Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
