That was just so amazing! That video! I have never done eventing, and never will, so it was nice of you to take me along on your ride. You are so steady and your horse such a good, trustworthy boy. I am just smiling after watching that. WOW is all I can say!!!
The helmet cam is so cool! It lets people like me dream of actually riding in the olympics or rolex! My horse is a nut some times but he sure is becoming one great horse! Well as long as there arent cows by jump one
That was freaking EPIC. I watched the entire thing, I loved listening to you reassure him, it was just so amazing, like being a bird and joining in on such a private and powerful time between you and your horse.
Thank youu! ah yes, Mouse loves it when i reassure him, he likes to know that i am actually looking ahead and WANT him to jump it! When i talk to, I just feel his whole body.....melt and he becomes so much more relaxed. its crazy!
Ah it was because I was over time since the first three jumps he was going too slow since his mind was focused on the cows. And I wasn't too concerned with making up time, I just wanted to finish in one piece! usually mouse takes off and I have to circle or else I get penalties for going too fast! Though I think those days are over since we treated him for ulcers and he is so much better behaved on course! Sorry that was a long explanation for a simple question!! Posted via Mobile Device
THAT WAS AMAZING!..at first I thought it was one of those fake horses you ride and you see the course on a flat screen since mouse is sooooo well groomed! He looks like a toy!
I watched it again, and showed my nonhorsey hubby. Even he enjoyed watching it. YOu are one good rider!!! So steady and your horse is fantastic. I am really, really impressed!
Everyone is doing the helmet cam now! Even a local Fox Hunter wears his when we are out, it's halarious coming back to club room watching the vids he caught of us out there.
Congrats on finishing your course, under time :P Glad you two have worked through your speedy issues, that's great! Thanks for sharing the vid, so how did you place at the HT?
Unfortunately with 12 time faults and two rails in stadium, we didn't get a ribbon but oh well! I'm just happy I got through in one piece, now if we had gone double clear however, I woulda been third. So if we clean up a bit more we could have a chance of being pretty competitive! Maybe not winning competitive but placing in the ribbons competitive Posted via Mobile Device
Wow @_@ That's an awesome video! I've never seen a Riding-Helmet-Cam before, but it's really cool to be riding "with" someone! xD I've never done cross-country before, but it looks so fun.
It is a blast! one of the best feelings for me in the world! your adrenaline kicks in as soon as you hear "5,4,3,2,1, have a good ride!" I love it, you should do it sometime!
You have done a good job giving your horse such a lovely attitude on XC. There is no better partnership than a team who has love and trust in each other. Now, those dang cows.......
Thank you! Means a lot to me, the cows I think he wil never get over. After living with them for three years and still terrified of them? Yeah no hope for him I suppose, but I still love him Posted via Mobile Device
What a great video! I felt like I was there too and I've always wanted to see a ride like that from the riders perspective. I hope you do MORE videos like this.... please
I wish I could do more videos like this!!! I rented this cam though and they won't be at any other of my shows but I have been saving my money to actually buy a camera that I could mount to my helmet! But that will pry be a long time since try had to get a custom strap to be able to attach to the helmet.... Maybe duck tape will have to do Posted via Mobile Device
The rental? Hmmm 70 or so dollars. The camera is about 300 and I'm sure the custom strap wasn't cheap either. I believe the camera was called a concord or something? I forget Posted via Mobile Device
