When I was younger when I didn't own my own horse I would play this on repeat pretending I was the rider sitting on a gym ball as the horse and I used a piece of string as the reins lmao. This video was a huge part of my childhood so thank you!
As a dressage rider who's terrified of jumping I have nothing but admiration for you and Sonic! This looked so balanced and you are so steady! Really enjoyed watching this and I wish you all the best in your equestrian career!
First time watching your channel and I really enjoyed it. I am a barrel racer but fascinated with jumping and you are amazing. One of the best I have watched. Really! Don't stop! You will go far. You are so steady and on it girl! So impressed!!!
This gave me such anxiety 😅 those obstacles looked sooo high as you rode towards them and it almost looked like your horse would collapse on his front legs 😩 He didn't of course, and it shows what a good team you are!
@@aaditya_aspirant money is in races, not in jump. Prizes in jumping competitions do not cover the expenses of the sport. Those horses are worth fortunes, no one wants them to get hurt
I love your unity. Some riders micro-manage their horses and fight with them, rather than trusting in them. Great ride! I enjoyed this - thank you for posting!
I’ve always really enjoyed watching your rides and have been thankful that some upper level rider films their rounds because it’s really helpful to me. Also, that was a stunning round, did you have rail on the last fence? I wasn’t sure. Apart from that, it was beautiful and I’m so happy to see that you’re going higher and riding so well. Great job!!!
Was I the only one who was rocking back and forth, and did a big forward rock over each hurdle?? This sure brought back memories of my days competing. This was awesome! 🏇
Awesome! What a great perspective. It looks so different just on the screen. I like that you make a clicking sound to encourage Sonic Boom. You seem to have a very close relationship. Horses are the best.
Wow thanks that was amazing. Pity about that final fence cos he hadn’t put a foot wrong til then and obviously neither had you. You were in a lovely rhythm 👏👏👏👏
I love these first person povs because I love to stack a few pillows, attach some reins, and practice some half seating and two pointing. I am obviously not at your level, but I do love these❤😊
That was so cool. I could feel myself position at the jump and eyeing the next one. What a thrill!! Thanks even though it's been several decades since I rode that kind of course. ;)
This just how appeared as a suggested video for me and I'm sooo impressed with how steady you rode, that camera was so smooth considering. I ride western but know well enough the skill needed for that, well done!
Excellent job horse and rider seemed to do very well this video is giving me the biggest reminder of looking where you want to go. But this was incredible. Perfectly done.
I used to ride and I miss it. The riding camp I went to, at the end of the camp season, we had a small horse show and while the course was very small and the obstacles very low, I was able to do the jumping portion in my final year at the camp. I really enjoyed it and even took second place. Watching this, it brought back that feeling I had when I was doing it. Thank you for sharing this, it's awesome!!
Gosh ... still shaking ... I would loose my way right from the start. I never thought its so high and so fast. Very brave people who are doing that. Bless u and take care.
Thank you. I have seen these views on smaller competitions and I have watched these competitions from TV standards... I didnt realize until now exactly how tight and sharp all thr turns are or how thrilling the ride is
I love this video-i was reading through the comments and I found that I had written one already. Still amazing to watch! You can really see how fast Sonic is going, and I did find myself holding my breath a bit as he sailed over a fence. Super. Every horse-crazy girl’s dream.
What an inspirational rider you are! I ride horses as well and sometimes do little jumps, I fell off once whist jumping thankfully it wasn’t bad.🏇🏼🏇🏼🏇🏼🏇🏼
i remember my first time watching this, my mom told me it was animated, she said that because you are such an amazing rider and you were so steady, you are so amazing!
Those were some big fences. Your pony did very well. Congrats. I was never good at shortening the stride to hit the fences right. It takes years and a willing mount.
If you train the horse well and if you have a good connection with your horse, you can do a lot. I can see that this horse is enjoying it. He didn’t want to refuse once. And the rider is really steady and calm. It’s just a LOT of training and making it fun for the horse
Some horses are just born jumpers and love to jump! We have a few at our yard that love it. One will jump out of any paddock, and only stays as his friends are there! When loaned out he jumped home. He was loaned out to a few different places but always at home in the morning 😂
It does take many years of careful preparation to get to this level. It all starts with poles on the ground and gradually works up from there. So it's not like they are faced with challenges like this over night 🙂
That said, not every horse is going to make it to GP. These horses are bred for the job, but they also have to have a spark for it. They definitely let you know when they've reached their limit and you can't really force a horse to do it (or at least not for long). They have to love it. I've ridden all sorts and the best jumpers will constantly be looking for the next jump and once they lock on, you feel them surge towards it. They get really excited and it's sometimes more a case of trying to steady their enthusiasm lol
Hailey- You are the reason I keep going forward in my riding. I have been through so much with a large amount of my class bullying me. I have ridden 1.40's and they look so much bigger on camera! (ik its a 0.05 difference of hight but still!) I love you and you horse as you look to be such a wonder fun team!
I love it! Sonic Boom was simply amazing! The horse I ride now always overjumps, so I can't wait to see what happens when I get higher- but you stayed as solid as a tree in the saddle and it was a very thrilling experience-even from the GoPro
Just come across this and loved riding shotgun with you. Took me all the way back to my fox-hunter days as I was counting in the strides and coming out of my seat as we went over the jumps LOL
How do people think this isn’t a sport. I have been riding for most of my life, and have ridden and won in nearly every discipline, and jumping is one of the hardest, ESPECIALLY at this level. Beautiful run too btw
Thank you for the ride! Always wanted to try jumping so high fences, but A: don't have a horse right now, and B: I'm kind of a chicken 🙈🙈 Thanks for giving me the opportunity ❤
My dream is to this and thank you for giving me the opportunity to see it on go pro it seems very fun but also very serious. One my good sides is I’m very passionate about this stuff and I bet you are to and you and your horse make a great team! You’ve come so far to be showing at Tryon that is so amazing! Goodluck out there.
Absolutely amazing! Incredible round. That was just an unlucky pole, the connection you two have is amazing. I’ve always dreamed of going to a Grand Prix (note I’m only 17 at the moment and have never owned my own horse. ) and I’ve had so many setbacks. You are such an inspiration to me:)

As an equestrian I absolutely love watching these, their so satisfying watching from the riders view.
I agree!!

@@HaileyRoyce ❤
Omg I used to do this but I had a giant horse toy I would sit on🥺
Fr me too😂😂
Fantastic, thank you again for the ride. You’re as steady as a rock and it’s great to see you going higher.
seems so effortless... only a couple times his head went sideways
@@luciaconn6788 yes she makes it look so easy but alas it is not ❤
As a dressage rider who's terrified of jumping I have nothing but admiration for you and Sonic! This looked so balanced and you are so steady! Really enjoyed watching this and I wish you all the best in your equestrian career!
thank you so much!
I had a bad fall while jumping my mare, I got a concussion and sprained my thigh, trying to get my confidence back so Im watching these!
First time watching your channel and I really enjoyed it. I am a barrel racer but fascinated with jumping and you are amazing. One of the best I have watched. Really! Don't stop! You will go far. You are so steady and on it girl! So impressed!!!
thank you!
This was amazing to watch! Thank you for sharing it! Please do more 😍
thank you!
You and your horse are such a great team! These are the kind of things that inspire me the most!
thank you❤️❤️
THANK YOU for recording this. I will never have the chance to ride like this and putting the viewer in the saddLe just makes me smile
This gave me such anxiety 😅 those obstacles looked sooo high as you rode towards them and it almost looked like your horse would collapse on his front legs 😩
He didn't of course, and it shows what a good team you are!
Me also Auremin, but when both were safe at the finish,it was such a fantastic accomplishment 👏🏻👏🏻Thank you for such a thrill❣️
@Just Jazza no bro, many horses have collapsed, they are doing it for money.
@@aaditya_aspirant money is in races, not in jump. Prizes in jumping competitions do not cover the expenses of the sport. Those horses are worth fortunes, no one wants them to get hurt
thats why horses are trained
FRRRRRR shes such a good rider
What. Rush. My heart rate increased. Thank you for sharing your ride. I will never have the opportunity to ride like this.
You have such a smooth landing well done.
I love your unity. Some riders micro-manage their horses and fight with them, rather than trusting in them. Great ride! I enjoyed this - thank you for posting!
Warms my heart to see a horse that loves their job

Yeah there was a rail on the last fence. All around brilliant ride though! :)
Heather Knox - I agree 🥰
@@heatherknox804 it could have bounced but remained in place. But I think it fell myself
@@mellisahankins2396 no you could hear the thud of the rail hitting the dirt
thank you so much! I did have the last rail which was super unfortunate but overall a really nice round!
Was I the only one who was rocking back and forth, and did a big forward rock over each hurdle?? This sure brought back memories of my days competing. This was awesome! 🏇
You weren't the only one, tensing up before each jump and rocking, all of it. It was fantastic to feel like I was riding. Superb. Thank you.
I had my legs on.
I did that lol
Awesome! What a great perspective. It looks so different just on the screen. I like that you make a clicking sound to encourage Sonic Boom. You seem to have a very close relationship. Horses are the best.
thank you!
Seeing this even a few years later really shows what a beautiful ride that was, you both balanced each other so well!!
Oh, he's so smooth! What a ride, thanks for taking me back 😊🥰
Mannnnnnnnn, the sound of that last pole after such a great run.
you know she’s working very hard when you can hear the heavy breathing,amazing job by the way! keep up the great work ur gonna go very far ❤️
HELP I GENUINELY GET SO MUCH ANXIETY WHEN WATCHING THIS IM LITERALLY LEANING FORWARD WITH YOU
Wow thanks that was amazing. Pity about that final fence cos he hadn’t put a foot wrong til then and obviously neither had you. You were in a lovely rhythm 👏👏👏👏
thank you!
Thank you for taking the trouble to make this! I am so amazed at your skill. I would get lost and forget which jump to go over next 😂
....Me too!!!!! Lol.
That’s what I was thinking the whole time 😂
Great focus and total communication with your horse! I could just about feel the lead changes under me. You gave an old horsewoman a lift!❤❤
I love these first person povs because I love to stack a few pillows, attach some reins, and practice some half seating and two pointing. I am obviously not at your level, but I do love these❤😊

therse something called a gopro
the way you both jumped over the water one so confidently at an angle! wowzers!
Excellent job horse and rider seemed to do very well this video is giving me the biggest reminder of looking where you want to go. But this was incredible. Perfectly done.
thank you!
What an experience. I found my toes curling as you went over each jump. Nice ride😘
This is like the 1000 th time I’ve watched this video and it never doesn’t satisfy me:) Haily and sonic you two are truly amazing
aw thank you so so much❤️

I wish I had a VR headset, THIS WOULD BE EVEN COOLER! I honestly felt like I was riding, this makes me miss my lessons so fricken much.
That was really amazing to be riding with you during that round. Thank you. I hope you placed well overall.
thank you! I was 7th in this round!
Gosh ... still shaking ... I would loose my way right from the start. I never thought its so high and so fast. Very brave people who are doing that. Bless u and take care.
You rode that all so well and that course looked like fun! I've never seen this pov in a jumper ring, thank you!!
The distance to each obstacle was literally perfect, good job
Had my family had the resources to get me into horse sports I would have loved to participate in events like these! Thanks for the video
Thank you. I have seen these views on smaller competitions and I have watched these competitions from TV standards... I didnt realize until now exactly how tight and sharp all thr turns are or how thrilling the ride is
Sometimes the courses can be very technical and hard, especially at bigger heights. this is such a cool view to watch!
I love this video-i was reading through the comments and I found that I had written one already. Still amazing to watch! You can really see how fast Sonic is going, and I did find myself holding my breath a bit as he sailed over a fence. Super. Every horse-crazy girl’s dream.
It’s so satisfying watching you go over those jumps
wow! what a beautiful ride, lovely rhythm
Wow I admire you, you are an amazing rider, you have completely wiped my eyes.🤩🤩🐴🐴
OH WHAT THRILL!!! Thank you! I always wanted to ride like this, but alas, I am to old! Awesome ride!!!!
Thank you for this POV ride. I've ridden most of my life, but never jumped. Exciting to see.
This always shows up in my recommended and every time i watch it its amazing
Congrats! The two of you were great!
My heart sank for you when I heard the pole fall down. That was a smooth ride though, I suck at fitting strides.
you two seem like a very harmonious team! no headshaking, pinning or bucking. Very nice to see!
thank you!
What an inspirational rider you are! I ride horses as well and sometimes do little jumps, I fell off once whist jumping thankfully it wasn’t bad.🏇🏼🏇🏼🏇🏼🏇🏼

This has to be one of the funnest things I’ve seen on RUclips! So badly want to try this style of filming with my horse. Cheers!
Bruh is it just me at the start that horse looks like it got a smooth canter! Amazing horse I love your videos!
he’s so comfy!
Here you can really see how high they're jumping and how fast they're actually galloping. I'm so impressed!
Omg wonderful round. I think you and your horse did brilliant all throughout that round!
Your horses so beautiful, it looks unreal❤❤❤❤❤
Seeing this view makes me wonder why the horse would jump at all! The jumps look super scary even to me!!!
If you train the horse well and if you have a good connection with your horse, you can do a lot. I can see that this horse is enjoying it. He didn’t want to refuse once. And the rider is really steady and calm. It’s just a LOT of training and making it fun for the horse

Thanks for taking me down memory lane, nothing more exhilarating that’s for sure.
Loved that, I was riding over those jumps from my living room, still got the pacing right even though I haven't jumped for 15 years lol.

He looks like he rides smooth like a Cadillac 😍 thanks for this POV.
Love watching through this view. It has me counting strides and literally lifting out of my seat as if I’m there 🤣🤣🤣 takes me right back 😍🙏
I was at Tryon not to long ago for Nationals. It was such an amazing facility with great horses❤
Pls keep on making vids like this its so relaxing and inspiring
This was very neat thank you for sharing! You have such a secure seat, like you are floating on him, amazing! ❤️
cool. love this new way of veiwing.
Aside from all the other great aspects of this video... I love this horse's name!
it’s so fitting!
Thanks for the ride. U a great rider and U and your horse are great together❤️❤️
BRILLIANT! Made me jump in my seat each time.
That was amazing! Nice landing on the jumps.
Fun ride! Thanks for taking us along.
This also gave me so much anxiety but it was very fun to watch and it made me feel like I was playing a video game. All in all, this was so cool!
Wow, sonic is such a good horse! Some of those jumps weeds really scary and probably as tall as me!
Just come across this and loved riding shotgun with you. Took me all the way back to my fox-hunter days as I was counting in the strides and coming out of my seat as we went over the jumps LOL

He def knows his job, kept an ear on you and also took his all. Also one thing I randomly said while watching "if there's not a shortcut, make one"
I love it!!! What an awesome ride... so smooth. I'd love to see the GoPro on the horse's head.
Thanks for sharing this! I've always wanted to try jumping but it's not a good idea for my condition. This let me live that dream a bit : )
I love those. they are giving me a look at something I'll never get to experience
You can tell your horse really loves jumping! I can’t wait till me and my mare can jump that high!
I always enjoy watching you ride and have been thankful that some up put error
Loved your video. I felt like I was really there.
Absolutely amazing! Incredible round. That was just an unlucky pole, the connection you two have is amazing. I’ve always dreamed of going to a Grand Prix (note I’m only 17 at the moment and have never owned my own horse. ) and I’ve had so many setbacks. You are such an inspiration to me:)
Amazing! Thanks so much for sharing this! That last pole!
My toxic trait is thinking I could do this
Same ngl 😅
Me:
HELP LOL
Omg frrrrrrrr
As a western rider i can only dream
Thanks so much for doing this. It was very cool to watch!
So cool to see it from thid angle!
The ride is so smooth
I was amazed by horse's agility as it was able to jump over obstacles set one after another :)
OMG I love watching your videos thank you for the parts where you show us your view from on top of the horse
You made this look so smooth and controlled. Thanks for the ride along.
You can feel the adrenaline! Great Video!
It’s so amazing how horse and human can do that together… and that speed, so fast!
