Challenging Course in Mechelen - News - Longines FEI World Cup™ Jumping 

Facts

And is making it more difficult for upcoming show jumpers 😑

I do low jumps and medium we aren’t aloud to go as high as FEI does FEI is way tooo demanding

Julie Paul 😂 if they’re asking too much the standard wouldn’t keep going up dumbass.

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

Ikr, it’s cool

My friend horse does that!! She's so cool

My horses do that and quite a few do too

Cortes C does it too

Magnifico

@@ambrazilioli92 1

but your doing it. keep going! ;0)

But that means you had the courage and determination to keep getting back on which is what really counts in the equestrian world.

Bonnie McCormack thx :)

Kira Kelley yes :)

Rip

Hannah Utriainen a lot of top riders do that, you try and jump 1.60 and we will see how you get on.

Karina Peters it’s not an equation battle your doing fine

He won Olympic gold and Europeans several times, clearly doesn’t affect him you muppet

Would love to see you do better

It’s actually better than knocking the pole with your leg. He must be doing something right to have Olympic medals

MK equimik So? A hackamore can be just a harsh as any other piece of equipment

You know that a hackmore can be worse than a normal bit?

Thank you! I am so tired of peoples negativity.

Same. Finally someone that is right 😂

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)

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.

Trata de saltar vos eso

@@lucidai8436 si estas a ese nivel de competicion de salto de obstáculos se debería pedir un mínimo de equitación digo yo , no entiendo que tiene que ver que yo pueda saltarlo o no xdd

@@pandimo Para que el caballo salte esos saltos tan grandes los tenés que impulsar mucho, el último tiene espuelines y con los espuelines no podés talonear tenés que tirar el pie un poco para atrás aveces, ah y solo te quería avisar ese último ganó muchísimos premios y por algo está saltando tan alto, y haciendo competiciones de tanto nivel, es mil veces mejor que vos solo digo.

@@lucidai8436 querida monto en una hípica donde mi entrenador ha quedado varías veces subcampeón y campeón de España y si colocas el pie correctamente no se te va a cuenca

Saisy Fight Hackamores can be just as bad as any other piece of equipment, it depends on the hands of the rider

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. 😂😂😂

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.

Chestnut

Kayleigh usually it's called a chestnut

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

Macy McNabb but u

What?

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😄

grow up...get laid...live in reality...sap!!

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

Why?? Horses love jumping. If they didn't wanna jump, they wouldn't, trust me.

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 Eitelgeorge c'est une excuse pour avoir la conscience tranquille, les chevaux ne sont pas fait pour ça, pour être aussi brusqués.

Anna Schumann i wanted to write exactly the same 😂😣😣😣😣

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....

If a jump is too high, a horse won't jump it. Jumps aren't upped, because there's only so much a horse can do. They can't fly. And the other horses were fine with it, so...

I agree with you we are always trying to make our horses do the impossible

Ml

@@phynchen8139 the horses are scared what would happen If they stopped and they are whipped over which causes them to go thru like a couple of these did

@@venla4699 I call bs.

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

@@TKDDLJ09 if a bitless is stopping breathing then its probably wayyy too low

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.

Omg YASSSS so trueeee.

Star_stable oh ja

Bitte besser machen oder klappe halten. :)

@@nszlavik6589 was hat das damit zutun es ist nicht schön das die Pferde so hoch springen müssen um es so hart wie es ist zu dagegen hat jeder Reiter dort verdient runterzufallen

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 dressage.

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.

They are not trash. You may disagree with some of their methods(which I definitely do) but they are good riders with good horses to be at this level. You can state your opinion or have criticism without blatantly calling incredible riders trash

U are so funny here's your price
