I'm glad this is uploaded. Never seen video of the great Big Ben (and I've looked!), so this was great.

[@topaz7762]

Wonderful horse 🐎 and rider combination. RIP Big Ben🐴

[@tenahorsez]

beautifull! he has this different way of jumping

[@adequan]

fantastic! awesome!

[@lipgreen]

my fave jumping horse!!!

[@chihuahuababy37]

I like that Ian Millar seemed to care more about not having a fault and being careful rather than speed. Think thats what helps make them a beautiful pair.

I looked up at the hedge at the very beginning and went "They're jumping that!?!?!"

[@mszen8]

Big Ben was such a technical jumper...you can just see him thinking all the way through the course.

@Adrenaline552 Well, if that were a possibilty, I think both horses would each have all the love of every Canadian citizen who's ever enjoyed watching jumping! We think of Big Ben, we think of Hickstead, but our Canadian team has had a LOT of very wonderful horses. And wonderful riders. Horse and rider are a singular unit as they work together.

[@belongtobill]

is it just me or did Ben really hold his head high?

[@skatay499]

This is AMAZING!!

[@haloonahorse1121314]

What an honest horse.

[@TheBrendadale]

@Adrenaline552 I DO believe that could be a competition!!! I do Believe that Big Ben and Hickstead would be so perfectly equal.
