Courage - HITS Ocala $25k Grand Prix - Helmet Cam

[@Nikkiyuri]

i like to count the strides before you go over a jump :P

[@suszns]

Same :')

[@TheJohnharold]

Amazing horse! You and the horse make it look so easy! Also, the horse looks like a smooth ride :D

[@jacklondon9476]

Im so jelous!!!

[@natashajoyce9638]

This is really awesome. Thanks for posting helmet cam videos, it really helps to see a first person perspective instead of a spectator one.

[@sydneymcgrath5212]

The size of the jumps scared the living pegebbbrrreeeessss out of me. I was screaming during the whole video. Lol

[@korinatrudel9398]

I love watching the helmet cams on the grand prix courses, the camera doesnt move as much on the more experienced riders, because they're holding their bodies better in the saddle. Very well done!

[@WldAbout]

Nice Ride!! Love this angle much better! Wonderful Team!!

[@sallylatham4337]

Nice horse! You did everything perfectly! Helmet cam's are great!

[@clairecakes9860]

I appreciate how you and your horse are fit enough to do this kind of jumping. Some people on this app are posting show courses when they or their horse is struggling too much to be in a show of that height.

[@jacklondon9476]

Have you ever thought about the Olympics, Doug?

[@icedoatcoffee]

I can tell by the shadow that you have a great form and perfect two-point!

[@sophienir1744]

your horse is too perfect

[@2101lovelilly]

... if you have a look in the tab side bar, their is an image that says Courage- HITS Ocala $15K 1.40m Mini Prix. But no he is not a paint he is a STUNNING grey!!!!! I am guessing that is the same horse! and i am pretty sure I have seen paints before at Grand Prix shows though as well!!! :)

[@Ilovecracker1]

Beautifully done xxx

[@lizzybelle11]

Wow. You have absolutely PERFECT EVERYTHING!!!! I aspire to ride like you one day!!

[@sarahzhang4059]

Wow! Amazing horse and rider!!!

[@kirstenbrock4587]

great round!! love ur horse!

[@CheeseCakeExtreme]

I have a Gypsy Vanner/Paint Horse. First off, Gypsy are very rare where I live, makes more sense that way. He is five years old learning dressage and jumps 3'3'' and Gypsy Vanners are also stocky horses but we don't have problems at all and he could go higher but he's still training. So, don't ASSume things.

[@horsesLcool]

I'm not sure if your at the same page as I am. A Paint is a stock horse, not a warmblood. Pinto is any horse with coloring other than a stock horse.

[@lizzybelle11]

That's because he's holding him back. My horse does that a lot and that's just how he is, not because I'm doing something wrong. I think that rider is awesome and that horse is even more awesome :)

[@sillystringroxz]

such a well paced horse!

[@kimbanyc]

beautiful ride. I don't think I like the camera on the side of the helmet though. I'd like a broader view (left and right). but thank you for posting this.

[@Molly-gj5ou]

It looks so simple and easy on camera:)

[@brendaswanson3313]

Your flying 😍😍😍 😍 😍🦄 thank you for sharing..I will hit subscribe

[@LegacyHunter98]

Umm..are we all forgetting about Mon Gamin?! He was a pinto and competed in many Grand Prix rings with Brianne Goutal.

[@castleguardian]

I know plenty of horses who cannot be ridden without them shaking their head. My old horse Max was one of those "types" of horses. He shook his head no matter what I rode him in, wether that be with or without a bit, even with a halter and leadrein he would headshake.

[@makenabloebaum9956]

he isn't doing it as bad... its because he wants to jump... I used to ride a GP horse who rears whenever he hers the buzzer, they like their jobs

[@leejustice4325]

Nice debate on the abilities of horses that are not Thoroughbreds or Warmbloods, but the gray horse is wearing ear coverings. The fabric is clearly visible as the horse goes over some of the jumps. All in all again a nice view from the rider's seat.

[@makenabloebaum9956]

ummm 'ear coverings' lol. its called a bonnet, its an accessory for the jumpers and sometimes theres ones to help block out sound for sound reactive horses..

[@jak40006]

It almost seems animated.

[@X01littlespit01X]

hat last jump had loads of air! that horse has a lush show jumpers pace though! :)

[@FCFEventRider]

I didn't say he always does 'everything' correctly. In this video, he is correcting the horse the way the horse needs to be corrected. How do you know hes even pulling if you cannot see his arms. He is half halting with his body through his arms and connecting the horse to the aids. What did I say that is so unbelievable? And my horse doesn't ride bitless because he can't he isnt that type of horse.

[@avaryderagon9102]

Beautiful Jumping!

[@kahluajumper]

it's just so.. peaceful

[@adriennedavis9190]

O.O I've been riding for a year and a half....... I could probaly never do that in a million years (just started cantering over not even 1 foot jumps)

[@starstablemovies7855]

wow im riding that long too but we already jumped 10 obstacle track each one was 1 metre or a bit less

[@briannamercedes4016]

StarStable Movies Yeah different coaches have different methods of teaching and some people learn faster than others. It also might change depending on how old you are.

[@adriennedavis9190]

My trainer is not a trainer that rushes. She takes her time so that I can perfect my eq on 1 ft jumps then move up to 2ft then 3ft. Just as Billie said, many trainers are different. Your trainer might teach faster than mine. I've been riding for now almost 3 years and I jump 2-2'3.

[@briannamercedes4016]

Right. I started riding when I was 4 and didn't learn to canter or jump until 4 or 5 years of riding lessons.

[@almightymarshmellow]

No you haven't. No grand prix rider or owner would ever use a paint horse. Ever. Period. Paint horses are Western horses. PINTO horses, however, can be any breed where the genetics allow for the coloration. What you saw was a PINTO WARMBLOOD. Paint is a breed. Pinto is a color.

[@SophietjeHVJ]

I love it, but it sucks the cam is on the side.... We would get a better view when its on th cap ;)

[@mlteal]

what a nice round!

[@jinxmae5029]

did we win?

[@breyernorthrescue4334]

i want a helmet cam, where can i get one?

[@egs_schroeder3916]

What helmet cam do you use?

[@FCFEventRider]

This is more the horse bumping into the riders aids. I have ridden bitless before and the horses still get their heads up and shake. When they enjoy their job they tend to get ahead of themselves so the riders use their body and aids to tell the horse to slow down, a small half halt with the fingers/hands and the horse bumps into the aids. This is a professional 3DE rider, who I have seen compete. Believe me he is doing nothing wrong.

[@nicolebuie801]

Is this in Thermal? 'Cause it looks familiar.

[@valleyhillschleich]

Woah! Is he a paint?

[@valleyhillschleich]

NVR maind. Didn't see that he had an ear net on

[@Turrzan]

Wow that horse had no bother jumping those gigantic jumps

[@makenabloebaum9956]

It shouldn't if its a Grand Prix horse lol...

[@tiajoya218]

Did you nock?That was a grate rond.

[@Sarahp4049]

He hit the first jump and that was all

[@emmajrose5329]

Tia Joya knock* great* round*

[@nmd3132]

that was awesome!

[@Jack--mu3gs]

What height were you jumping

[@ALYnAPACHE]

he has sunglasses on lol i just noticed that

[@lizzybelle11]

I think that horse is just excited and maybe a little frustrated that he's being held back because he wants to gallop through the jumps, but if the rider let his horse just barrel through all the jumps he'd be putting himself in danger

[@MrMoomin27]

how big is this horse it is incredible?!

[@makenabloebaum9956]

umm a small horse can jump that big too

[@laurenmcmillan4399]

Where was the camera

[@laurenmcmillan4399]

+Jammy 1132 where on the helmet. No need to be rude

[@meganproffitt424]

Looked like the side of the helmet.

[@lulux8040]

Side of helmet

[@XxDarbyLovesMeXx]

I have. So what? A paint isnt as good as a solid?

[@janeseamore1370]

If I didn’t know better, after watching this video of this nice horse go, i’d Say this was easy

[@miazicolello1]

That was a good trip

[@blankinfo7798]

What The First Word Of The Title? 'Courage' Think.

[@Hollycoolpop]

Wat is the name of the horse?

[@MLOCharmer]

where is this 3 days comment coming from?

[@EquiiJess]

@Adrienne Davis You'll get there!I went from my first jump and trotting poles to 2'4" in a week, jumping like a pro, so I'm sure you'll get there soon enough

[@ellajohns245]

The jumps look so tiny from this POV

[@fullofsmiles12]

Amazing!!:D

[@FCFEventRider]

Most horses probably can, but dont start acting like you know my horse because believe me, you have no idea. Thats great people ride bitless, good for them, but just because we use bits doesnt make us the scum of the Earth. 'It might be good if you would see'...no thanks. Horses will shake their heads when ridden bitless it happens.

[@horsesLcool]

Either way he wouldn't be a Paint. You'll never see a Paint at a Grand Prix show.

[@Pupsbubble]

Well...my english is fucking bad, but i try to express what I mean. Of cause I know that the horse shakes its head because the rider is holding it back. But if he's pulling so strong, that his horse starts headshaking, the poor thing has a lot of pain in its mouth. Shaking the head isn't normal, it's always a signal of a way to hard rider-hand.

[@domkaa7]

Wow awesome :-D

[@HighSchoolHorseLuver]

I don't think ill ever be this advanced, can't even canter properly :'(

[@flynnspitts3924]

Was this hunters or jumpers

[@HmainTomlinson]

Flynn Spitts It's Grand Prix.... what do you think?

[@meganproffitt3135]

+Flynn Spitts Jumpers. Hunters is natural colored jumps at a slower pace.

[@meganproffitt3135]

+Hmain xxx *Grand

[@makenabloebaum9956]

jumpers... how don't you know that? Its Grand Prix lmfao

[@TheTorKirky]

actually belty is a paint

[@Pupsbubble]

The horse cant do anything else than shaking his head. on the one hand it is running in full speed into a jump. on the other hand, it knows what it feels like to something else. The ride would hit it witha crop or ram his spores into its belly. no horse ver would shake his head because of enthusiasm. it would be concentrated on the jump.

[@dogsarebetter]

is that your cheek? lol

[@XxDarbyLovesMeXx]

I'm on the same page. I've never seen a purebred paint in the olympics, but I have at WEF in the International(GrandPrix) ring. I'm not saying your comment was mean, I was just stating, that I HAVE seen a paint in the grand prix ring.

[@Pupsbubble]

Perfect in everything?! The horse is shaking his head up and down all the time. Ouch....

[@knowitallabouthorses]

*scoffs* Troll. 1. you're bragging. 2. you're NOT jumping if you've been riding for 3 days.

[@Pupsbubble]

just because he's called a "professional rider" doesn't mean he's doing everything right. Hes pulling to strong, that's all. by the way... show me video of your horse, when you ride bitless and it's shaking its head. I cant belive what you said. My pony never shakes his head, even when i ride with a bit.. Sorry for my bad english :/

[@knowitallabouthorses]

No. I don't think Doug has a paint horse.

[@Pupsbubble]

Thanks for answer (but you said "its from pain" - thats what i think, and than you explain why the horse shakes its head and that its not caused from pain...so). But to but weight/balnces to the haunches the horse must not shake his head so agressive. I maintain my opinion: the horse shakes his head because of pain in the mouth. Nothing else. of cause the rider holds him back, but he does it so strong that he hurts his horse.

[@davidfenty5507]

I ride paints 2

[@knowitallabouthorses]

Hey just practice. :) I'm sure you can canter properly. Give yourself confidence.

[@courtneyturner3196]

What's with all this 'head shaking' business. All horses do it. This horse is obviously excited about jumping and is shaking its head because it wants to jump! Just enjoy the video, stop analysing everything.

[@TheNonMakeupGuru]

+Tracey Turner Actually. When a horse is throwing around its head its normally due to irritation not excitement. If it has something on its face of the bridle is to tight. Or if the rider is being to heavy on the horses mouth

[@aiscoakley6559]

or it's just cause their cantering and their head has to move with their body too.. also turning and flexion all that

[@anacsmari]

it's mostly because of the rider's hand's pressure. Please go educate yourself, that sounds very stupid.

[@makenabloebaum9956]

omg why do u have to say its because the rider is pulling too hard or being heavy, a gp rider like Doug Payne (worldly known) would not be pulling too hard maybe u bc you are clearly unexperienced but not Doug, he is too advanced for that. don't act like you know everything about horses when you probably cant even ride one or do anything well involving a horse.

[@Sebras99]

You mean like here: 1:20 to like 1:26 ?? Its from pain,its the horse picking up his head,and pushing his weight and balance onto his haunches so he CAN jump these Massive fences.. If you notice, after he lands his head goes down, and Doug has to sit up and ask him to pick his head up to rock onto his haunches to jump again. really simple... some Show Jumper's horses DO shake their heads, because their riders are holding them back and they love it so much they want to go faster, but not here.

[@makenabloebaum9956]

u have no clue about horses then... horses will have to put their head 'down' to be able to jump this big... its putting them in a frame giving them an easier way to jump such heights. in no way would an experienced rider be pulling too hard... maybe an unexperienced person like you but no GP rider like him.

[@03firefly]

I don't the the issue is color. The issue is breed. You wont see a paint horse. A pinto, yeah, sure, but not a paint.

[@TheTorKirky]

could you please have a look at my page then i have two coloured horses a skewbald and a dun skewbald and they are both english riding horses the skewbald has competed to 1.30m with the previous owner and has done 1.10m with me and could you please look at showtym viking and amanda wilson 14.2hh pony doing world cup rounds now tell me are they still western/stock horses no its just a colour

[@Pupsbubble]

okay. we should stop samming around here... In my opinion, esspecially in the higher classes of horseriding, violence is a often used way to make a horse submissive. Maybe the whole rider with his horse (not just the horses haed) sould be watched. Then we would be able to evaluate in a better way..

[@katieoneill6930]

You are just being an arse here. My sister did prelim on a registered american paint horse, he was 17hh and lanky and could jump ANYTHING. He was not your stock cutting horse APHA... dont knock nice people with you snide uppity warmblood comments. Id ride a thoroughbred over a warmblood anyday, we dont need to import all of these 'superior' horses into a country where we have a bountiful OVER-stock of healthy, athletic, strong creatures.

[@Pupsbubble]

yeah...it isnt full speed. its an exaggeration,i know. But try something: take the bit out of you horse mouth an make a few jumps. It wont skake his head. the shaking is caused by the rider and a wrong use of the bit. That's right, and i think you are clever enough to understand it.

[@Pupsbubble]

He's not the type of horse....okay. Than take an other one and show me that it shakes his head while you ride bitless. And if you have got some time, seach for "Karen Rohlf" here on KZbin or Google... She rides bitless a lot and i think it might be good if you would see, that every horse can be ride without a bit...

[@joward1192]

wow im jumping but i dont think i'll ever be able to do that im jumping and ive only been riding horses for 3 days not to brag

[@makenabloebaum9956]

full. of. shit.

[@gracebadgley3613]

Your not bragging, your lying.

[@Pupsbubble]

but not that way. in the video its because their mouth hurts.
