Videos of Vega and I jumping 4'3

MysticRealm · 04-15-2008, 08:52 PM

So we had a fun day at the barn today. Got to jumping some decent heights and lucky enough I brought my camera.
Here are a couple quick videos of us.

DO NOT CRITIQUE!!!!! This was just for fun. My stirrups are flatting length as I wasn't expecting to jump too much. I know I need to work on things but I have improved leaps and bound lately. I know what I am doing wrong.
DO NOT CRITIQUE!!!!!

First video is just of the Single 4'3 ish oxer.

YouTube - Vega Jumping 4'3 Oxer

Second video is a small course. Only the first fence is 4'3, the vertical is 3'3 ish and the last oxer is 3'6-3'9 ish. Somewhere in there. (The jumps look small on the video but I think that's b/c the videographer is on horseback most of the time as well)

Enjoy!

He looks great. What a nice boy you have

. I love your rythm that you keep, it's nice and easy, but with impulsion. That def. proves that horses don't need to go fast in order to get over big jumps, but you do need impulsion.

Thanks guys. He really responds well to that bit. He is much more up and light in this full cheek french link than in a palham. Odd horse haha.

You have a really nice, honest, athletic horse!

Great videos- thanks for sharing.

Thanks guys. He has come so far with me. Supposedly his old owner was selling him b/c he threw her off nearly every time she rode him. She of course did not say that, she said that he couldn't do jumpers and she wanted to do more jumpers (guess I proved her wrong there too, haha)
When I got him he was so fat, dandruffy and out of training. He had so little muscle that he could hardly jump. He was so wiggly and couldn't hold his leads. He couldn't do clean lead changes or anything.
Now he has shown quite successfully at 3'6 hunters and 3'6 jumpers at spruce meadows and can easily move up! We have jumped up to 4'3 and schooling 3'9-4 foot courses. Yay
