My favorite thing? Hearing how hard the rider is breathing. I try to explain that riding isn't just sitting there and hanging out. Its a WORKOUT!! 😁 Great video. Love all the treats he's getting at the beginning haha. And people think we abuse and toture horses. Big babies is what they are lol
Alix King agree a 100% people abuse horses and I thinks it’s cruel I ride a 29 yr old appaloosa and I never abuse him I heard him breathing so hard so I cooled him down so he can get his heart rate back to normal then that was it and he’s still a good horse
Ikr. Brave horse and rider. Even though the horse does a lot of work more than the rider (basically, no offense to anyone out there, everyone has facts and opinions to their selves.
I felt like I was the one riding, and when I heard the poles coming down I was like "NO JUMP HIGHER COME ON BUDDY!" out loud, I could never jump this course lmao props to you
Yeah! Also if someone’s ever saying that they are plenty of videos to show them it 40% rider and 60% horse. One of my favorite edits about that is ‘You Still Think it’s Easy?’
I have this course memorized, and I've never even been to Spruce Meadows! LOL, I watch this event every year, and the course is always the same one, so I've got it down!!
Thanks for this video John, what a treat to see a round in the international ring at Spruce Meadows from the saddle (and as a competitor in the tiny little stuff at RMSJ, thanks for all you do for the sport at the grassroots level!)
I would love to do this one day! These videos give a great idea of how physically tasking these courses are on both horses and riders. Anyone who thinks riding is easy should take a peek. :) Great work, you are an inspiration to young riders like myself!
Love this perspective. I was there, down by the bank, and knew the course was big but had no idea there were actually 4 water jumps. It's an amazing feeling watching from horse and rider view.
I hate it when people say “riding isn’t a sport” and “it’s so easy.” Threw my years of riding I have experienced refusals, my horse bucking, my horses going completely ballistic and much more. But not ONCE have I fallen off while jumping. (Which still shocks me today even though I have been riding for almost 7 years) Riding is one of the most dangerous sports out there. When parents go sign there kids up for riding they think “oh, riding is safe my kids will be fine,” but no. Each year over 7million people die from riding horses in the United States. It’s crazy how many people believe that riding is safe. You had a great ride!! 👌🏼👍🏼👌🏼👍🏼👌🏼
BEYOND COOOOOOL! it was like i got to ride through the courst! i'm a huge fan and have been watching spruce meadows since i was like 4! i was thrilled to see what it's like going threw the devil's dike! AMAZING!
@167Kagome not meaning to sound rude in any way, but... did u read the description?, the visable second line is Meadows National in Calgary, and yes people from all over the world compete in this, but i hav no idea if Ian Miller was there, i don't think he has retired yet...
I've had so many falls I should technically be dead. Especially when my skull smashed off a concrete pillar.. that horse got shouted at then he didn't do it again. 🤭
Hearing the rider's grunts made me remember how I used to think that canter is easy, since you don't even need to post like in trot. I was so wrong. Cantering is a heavy workout for your core and I always breathe heavy as if I was running alongside the horse. We really should make every person who complains that we only "sit on the horse and do nothing" go a round or two in trot and canter...
That is really cool right now I'm training my pony to jump but she only just started so we are going to start with the poles and then go higher and higher☺😊
I'm glad I stuck with cross country, no frills, just weight in the saddle to exercise the horse, talk to the Arab and he'll do the rest, sabertooth bushes to bully, can't wait to play in the pond, leave the other horses behind, chase the Peregrine falcon, stop dead in your tracks to let the wild deer past . . . GOD how I wish I was 35 again, riding a 26 year old Arabian with more brains than I had.
My only beef with the ride is that he never talked the horse through the course. When I ride I am constantly reassuring my mount and talking my way through the course with him.
Don't you just love it when you could get awesome bloodlines for an awesome price? I leased my gelding for 2 years before he was given to me, and only after that did I find out that he is a) imported from Germany b) from one of the Holsteiner best lines in the world (according to our vets and local breeders) and his brothers and sisters were jumping and dressage champions.
Yeah, also depends on your balances ability. Jumping is very dangerous but when your trained enough it won’t be a large problem with strides. Strides are very important yes, but you can fix them quickly long as your counting. Strides are very easy to speed up or slow down. I have gotten thrown because of strides, but that was also when I started jumping.
My biggest fear is forgetting my course and looking like an idiot
Country Horse same
Me to
same xD
Equine X me to

Alix King that’s the horse breathing
@@buffboibobbuffboibob7595 It's the rider. The camera/microphone is on the helmet, si you're hearing his breathing.
YES IKR IT TAKES ALOT OF WORK TO RIDE A HORSE

Emily Yeadon 29?! You shouldn’t be riding it what do you use it for hacks are ok but jumps ect are to hard for a 29 year old horse
That was one long course folks...nice quiet ride too...kudos to John and his mate..
Who else it counting strides lol

Horse Lover lol yeah because the rider just sits there amirite? lmao
GOD, WHY DOES EVERYONE WANNA 'FIGHT' WITH MEEEEEEEE. :>
Jessica Ruggiero Riders don’t just sit there :/ both the horse and rider have to work very hard.
there is only one jump I can do on course..... the small one before the hill!
can u do any bigger ones yet lol
Yeah now my best is a 1.25m
@@champme5820 👏👏👏
@@champme5820Have you gone any higher now? :)
Never in my entire life would I've remembered the whole course far too complicated 😂
"Get up!" hahaha...that is one good horse!
I felt like I was the one riding, and when I heard the poles coming down I was like "NO JUMP HIGHER COME ON BUDDY!" out loud, I could never jump this course lmao props to you
I heard the pole too lol. When he was coming up to one of the larger jumps I kept clicking my tongue out of habit haha.
In the beginning, the feeling of excitement rose in my stomach when my eyes landed on Rolex. LOL! As if I was a good jumper!
First time I have been over jumps in a long time :) Thoroughly enjoyed this helmet cam and would love to see more.
+Judi B same here!
I do GoPro videos to you can check them out if you want but you don’t have to
what a gorgeous animal.
From what I heard 3 poles got knocked I'm not sure tho.
No u would hear. he just probably touched them
Hello People I do believe I heard 3 aswell. And the description says it wasn't the desired ride.
Yeah, I heard them too. Pretty sure they all fell down.
Hello People definitely 5
Carly Walls but if he touched them they would fall
And here I am, getting this recommended to me 10 years later.
me too😂
@@laylalisewska8786 Lol
Loved this! Gave me an insight as to what I want to achieve in the future :)
This really shows that riding is not just sitting there amazing video
Yeah! Also if someone’s ever saying that they are plenty of videos to show them it 40% rider and 60% horse. One of my favorite edits about that is ‘You Still Think it’s Easy?’
Watching this Before my jumping leson🙌🏻
How’s your jumping now?
I have this course memorized, and I've never even been to Spruce Meadows! LOL, I watch this event every year, and the course is always the same one, so I've got it down!!
It's amazing!! You and your horse are a great team!! Keep it, it was so good to watch ❤️🐎
Wow! You and your horse did so well!! Great job friend! :D
Why was this recommended 9 years later?-
Hi 2021
awesome :) I saw him riding with the cam, I was hoping to see the footage

This was 9 years ago and on my recomendable
This was amazing well done xx
good lord that was a long course! Love those reins!!!
I enjoyed watching this horse show, how do you know what a horses physical limits are??
All depends on the horse
Horses can be trained to different levels, but usually, they're bred into higher SCP. :)
My horses physical limits were walking past a glove on the road😱 she almost took me to Timbuktu😂
You’ll know
Seeing the jumps come at you like that must be so daunting!
Don't know about you, but I was exhaused after watching. Good job!
This horse looks like he's got a fantastic scope, is this true? Stunning horse!
what a beautiful course *.*
This course looks fun
Terrific is such a wonderful, and beautiful, horse. And Mr. Anderson is amazing as well!
wow that was awesome. some long course!!!!!!
I was so excited when he rode by wearing his camera!
It's not easy at all, but it's really fun, you should try it!
Always my dream to ride in spruce ❤️
Am I the only one who put it in full screen and pretended like I was actually riding the horse?
Ugh i can’t wait for Spruce
This was amazing
absolutely amazing!
2022 anyone?
BEYOND COOOOOOL! it was like i got to ride through the courst! i'm a huge fan and have been watching spruce meadows since i was like 4! i was thrilled to see what it's like going threw the devil's dike! AMAZING!
Was that Beezie madden on the side at the beginning?
Kelsey Davis yes it was!!

So cool but soo confusing. How do you stay on course?
18 jumps- i- wow! amazing x
i counted 23 jumps lol

My parents after a fall:never again near a horse
Me:hahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahshaha

@@Kat-mu8wq Same! i had my back broken from a 1.40 cm oxer :'D but that didn't stop me
Ypu did great on the water jumps
I put this in a VR headset and fell over bc I tried to two point
I love Helmet Cams!!!
Beautiful course.
Got to love spruce Meadows.
That was a unique course!
Not unique, it's basically a copy of Hicksted in the UK

well that sure looked easy...im impressed!
This video was made right when I was born 🤯 and I love horses 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Just about to leave for a show watching this for good luck.
That is really cool right now I'm training my pony to jump but she only just started so we are going to start with the poles and then go higher and higher☺😊
And i was also leaning back slightly on the approaches
Am i the only one that got so caught up in this that I actually started two pointing over the jumps?
Did he knock the rails at all the liverpools?
Didn't Beezie Madden do the Nexen Derby??
I'm glad I stuck with cross country, no frills, just weight in the saddle to exercise the horse, talk to the Arab and he'll do the rest, sabertooth bushes to bully, can't wait to play in the pond, leave the other horses behind, chase the Peregrine falcon, stop dead in your tracks to let the wild deer past . . . GOD how I wish I was 35 again, riding a 26 year old Arabian with more brains than I had.
Wow. That's a tough course.
Is this at spruce meadows
HI 2021 HERE
How many rails did he have down??
he did, you can actually hear it at the end
I like riders that talk to their horse. I always talked to my horse as we went.
I think he did at 5:11, but I could be wrong.
was this at rocky mountain show jumping?
No it was at Spruce Meadows
i feel like i'm the one riding lol this is the most ingenious idea ever haha it's great quality too!
This is so perfect 😍
How high are the jumps?
He did pat him a couple of times, is that not good enough? Should he actually use the words or?
i know the place liverpool in england, because i live in the UK, but the jump liverpool?
My only beef with the ride is that he never talked the horse through the course. When I ride I am constantly reassuring my mount and talking my way through the course with him.

not trying to be rude but how many jumps did he knock down? i thought i heard poles falling, but yet that could of been the wind. haha
how do you know there was no audio and you could only see the horses ears
SarcasticPony12
There's audio. Turn your sound on!
@mysmakable It's sooooo not easy and takes a REALLY long time to get to this level... but jumping is fun and exciting!
Watching this i feel like i am on a video game.
How manny flats did you have??
how many jumping faults did you have at the end?
What was the end result? Time and faults?
looks like 12 or more to me
16th place and 26 faults
i think id quite frankly shit my pants if i had to go down that hill... you sir, have balls!
Love this video😍
I don't jump but... if you just sit there and your horse misses a stride, your going to fall back, then get thrown forward once the horse lands.
Yeah, also depends on your balances ability. Jumping is very dangerous but when your trained enough it won’t be a large problem with strides. Strides are very important yes, but you can fix them quickly long as your counting. Strides are very easy to speed up or slow down. I have gotten thrown because of strides, but that was also when I started jumping.
Do more please
I Love The "Get Up" at 3:17 ish
Moi aussi je fais du cheval et je trouve que tu es super fort 💪👏👏
Sorry, but that GoPro did the audio dirty---
bit puffed after your round buddy :D would've been hard work riding that, well done :D
