5:53 your horse is passing others up that hill. My asthma has kicked in! I used to ride cross country but low level and never that fast. Too brave for me! But great job. (Id love to hear your exercise routine to get that great lung capacity. I didnt know i had asthma then & always thought i didn't exercise properly to do my cross country at shows). Just wow!
Is this Northease? We used to rent a barn and grazing from the owner. The next time I see some person saying how cruel it is to ride horses and 'force' them to jump I will refer them to this video while pointing out how many times you had to say "steady" when approaching a fence!
Well done, how refreshing to see riding from a male point of view so many equestrian RU-vidrs are female not seen many male. Would have been nice to see a little before and after the race. You are very brave and it does look like a lot of fun.
Terrifying! Mud ,crowding. I've been on some horses twisting and popping their butts jumping half the heights you do! I'm so impressed by the perfect jumping your horses do ! Absolutely beautiful. I super appreciate your telling him he's a good boy ! Beautiful.
Boy the loose horse is dangerous - can swing in front, could slam into you, could duck out, could just stop. I think this rider could use some more build up ie exercise and strength building. He has been painting since the beginning. Could do without his language, he isn’t very soothing to the horse. And that carries over to the horse. The horse is really getting tired - that’s a long run and a lot of fences. Can’t you skip a few fences to give your horse some ease - see the go bye ie no fence. Maybe not.
Generally they are fine and will stay with the pack, you just gotta be a bit more careful because they don't have a rider steering them away from other horses and they will just cut right out in front of you lol
Thrilling! Lovely Pickamix going like he was on rails. Yours is beautiful country Mr. H. Had to laugh at terse commentary on appearance of first loose horse.
Hi, I am new to your channel. What exactly is this?? I've never seen this before. Awesome ride btw. Amazing recovery when dealing with all of those loose horses.
Do horses really enjoy that? It’s so dangerous for their legs. Safer to walk trout or canter. Us humans make animals to do the most nerve racking and uncomfortable things for them for humans pleasure. No hate just concern for animals.!
Have you not seen the loose ones running too? You will not get a horse who doesn’t want to do this anywhere near a single jump on this course, so do not worry for them
Believe me you can't force a horse to do anything, wish I had a video of my 15 stone friend trying to move my 28 inch miniature pony off the neighbour's lawn
Did you not hear him trying to steady the horse? Not to mention that its ears were pricked the whole way. I think it's pretty safe to say the horse was enjoying it immensely.
Fun to watch! Thanks for sharing. I was totally in the moment when you came over that jump and to the left up that hill and your horse started picking up momentum. I could feel the power as his ears and head started getting going! I hope you trust in Jesus Christ in other areas of your life too, not just when you’re in a pinch.😂
The horse jumps everything in front of him but you are too fearful to ask much of him.Stop worrying about dying and kick on. You could win these bumpers. He will only get fitter if you demand more from him.
You never push yourself or your horse for more than you feel comfortable to do. Too many horses and riders get killed with cross country, steeplechasing, fox hunting (not done like the old way anymore). It’s the riders fault when these happen for not having themselves and their horses ready to go.
Is that a race or just a helter skelter ride? I would never have the guts to do that. Good on all of you. 😊. You know…. Some people think that the horse does all the work.
