2013 Morven Park Horse Trials - Advanced

Hot hot hot - where's Buster Poindexter when you need him? One of the warmest, driest MPHTs I recall since my first video here in 2007. And just like then the ground was baked dry and hard by weeks of drought on the east coast. But the grounds crew did a great job aggravating the soil. I found it comfortable enough to run on but I can't speak for the horses. Spectators were very happy to see fewer scratches than expected and a very rewarding show put on by riders and horses whose minds act as one, though perhaps detached from reality. You have to believe you can fly to get over some of these obstacles.
Phillip Dutton won the Advanced division on Fernhill Fugitive and Kate Samuels took the Advanced Championship on Nyls du Terroir which means "Local Nyls", sort of the equine equivalent of "Area Man" I guess.

Il precedente proprietario del cavallo baio l'ha picchiato e il cavallo se l'è ricordato

Some horrid sawing at the horses mouth at 11:17... makes me sad to see that. Great footage otherwise though. Thanks for uploading :)

Orribile non esageriamo un po' brutto sì ma orribile è un po' troppo
