Since the majority of us here, if not all are showjumping fans, it is time for an incredible showjumping video. One thing that I like about it is the fact that it is not as underrated as the other disciplines regarding performances with horses. Even non-horsey people believe that it is difficult. If we speak about dressage, these people think that it is something easily doable and for a lot of other things as well.
Of course, they are wrong, because everything regarding horses is so challenging and competitive and it is even more difficult to stand out as an equestrian compared to other sports players like soccer or basketball who already have a bigger number of people interested in the sport. That is why, before we say our opinion, we clearly need to know more about the topic that we would like to argue and saying that this or that sport is easy is clearly not an argument. Giving valuable reasons why it is easy, then that’s another case.
Now let’s focus on this incredible duo in the video below, who did not have a perfect showjumping performance, however, it is one of those examples when improvising is sometimes better than what was planned to be perfection. It is true that all these performers aim perfectionism and work really hard to deliver the best possible performance, however, there is barely improvising in such performances, that’s why it is great when circumstances that might seem bad can actually be good a lot of times.
I know that you are all curious now and I should go straight to the point. Richard Spooner loses his reins when his horse, Incento leaves a stride out jumping into a triple combination and it does not have an effect on him a bit. He jumps through the combination with his hands out to the side and calmly picks the reins upon landing. “It was my mistake that caused the problem,” recalled Spooner. “After that, I was trying to be out of his way and let him find his way.
The way how they took the situation under control proved that they are indeed professional performances, probably even more then some usual perfect jumps would do. It is not worth saying anything else but let you enjoy this amazing video below. Let us know what you think about it after you have watched it.
