2007 Six Bar Competition

[@ucfevents]

Holy cow.....those horses and riders have COURAGE and ATHLETICISM!

[@escapade08]

another fantastic ride from Nick skelton. these two are my absolute favorite team. I love watching them. :)

[@LyndsayBandringa]

Very true! That's actually the way it is meant to be ridden -- he was slow and collected coming in, but you can see he had tons of power built up underneath him in his horse's hind end to be able to get over every fence. :)

[@RiderLiza]

Oh my god!! Wow!! Respect to russel and nick!! This is totally awesome!! Really very very impressive!!

[@horsebackarchers]

Very important riding lesson! Thank you!

[@Kayce16]

Russel is always a pleasure to watch

[@xbudweiserx]

Im doing a six bar next week;; just a bit excited!

[@JumperIzzy]

this is my dream Spruce Meadow Six Bar

[@hannahbananaroxsox]

Russel is such a wonderful horse and clearly loves his job :)

[@iqreevo]

Do you know where I can find the 2005 and 2008 Altco Electic 6 Bar films? I love the two you've put up!

[@chequered1998]

Well done Nick Skelton:)

[@equinegurl]

WOW!! That's really neat!

[@tillynbella]

Hey dano2607, i am wondering if i can use some of your equestrian vids? im sorry for asking, im in need of them though =] great video, showjumping is such a thrilling sport

[@KateAllely]

Just rewatched the video, and I'm going to correct myself in my last comment, He doesn't praise the horse at all after jumping the 2.06 meters upright. He just keeps cantering it, and slows him down. Don't get me wrong though, I'mm a big fan of his ;)

[@ravianba9238]

I'm investigating treating heartburn at home and discovered a fantastic resource at Amirykal heartburn remedies (google it if you're interested)

[@101CANDY101]

theres gonna be a six bar at my barns show this summer!

[@Macfam00]

thats rediculous heights! imagine how big those jumps look galloping upto them..

[@WildHorseSpirit14]

omg those jumps are soooo high :O but wow.. good on those horses trying there hardest

[@Sw0rdFishu]

I'm wondering if they use poling when training these horses

[@ilnyc95]

I love watching 6 Bar! Good i thought that i jumped high at my competition! lol

[@IrishBlonde]

Were there 6 bars in 2008/9? If so who won them? I cant find videos anywhere!

[@DressageGurl613]

did they have a 2008 six bar?

[@ChristinaDale]

Spruce Meadows is in Canada, not the US.

[@stupidblond428a]

He gets this off of his TV.

[@3dayEventerFHMI]

wow! amazing!

[@DaxonizAmazin]

I am so stupid I think I just clicked on the video and didn't read the title cos I was counting the number of jumps and was like WOW SIX?!?! Then I read the title and was like WWOOOOOWWW:)

[@CJacklover]

WOW thats amazing :)

[@Cheesekake343]

Is Russel in a hackamore?? I love Nick Skelton he's incredible!

[@showjumpinluv]

yes it. 212 cm divided by about 2.54 cm/in = 83.46 inches divided by 12 in/ft = 6'11.46''

[@wattamus]

Has he retried them?

[@ilovemagichorse]

wow, amazing horses!

[@LieABeautifulLife]

I would seriously love to have guts like that!

[@leticiam8804]

guts?

[@KateAllely]

I do think Nick Skelton is an amazing rider and he has acheived so much, but he hardly ever seems too pat his horses or give them any sort of praise. I am a big fan of his, don't get me wrong, but I just think that the horse deserves more praise than he gives it. For example after jumping a very difficult treble ending with a 2.06m upright, he hardly praises the horse at all, if he does. Whereas the other competitors all patted their horses after clearing it or even having a pole. My opinion ;)

[@showjumpinluv]

calgary, alberta to be exact. :)

[@brooklyn1311]

I know that xc is. But, I can asure you that show jumping is just the same. I don't know if you've done it or not, but if you haven't, you have no business saying if it is or isn't.

[@coqcaine]

You nor anyone else see's what he does after the competition. He does reward the horses.

[@ravianba9238]

There are many factors in treating heartburn at home. One plan I discovered which succeeds in merging these is the Amirykal Heartburn Remedies (check it out on google) without a doubt the no.1 plan that I've seen. Check out all the unbelievable info .

[@peacelovejasper12]

seriously that will be me some day.... lets see those critics get there

[@jkmanring]

Lovely to use to prove to someone that warmbloods can jump :D

[@withamvillarider]

[@withamvillarider]

[@withamvillarider]

[@DeathKitty123456]

Grrrr 4:12 stop overbending the fricking horse! I would have knocked the fence too! Should disqualify for riding like that.
