For all you people who say the horses don't get enough credit. Watch the medal ceremony at the end. They get a ribbon and are there for the medal ceremony. All the riders are very thankful for their horses and what a great job they did. I'm sure they got very pampered after which is not on camera

[@ruby3976]

Flexible has always been my favorite horse, ever. So seeing Rich and Flexible fo well in the first round was really nice to see.

[@gabrielaguerrahaendel7248]

i find really unfair that the horse is not present in the medal ceremony. i think of this sport, regardless of a team event, a TEAM they win together, they work together, they learn together and if they lose they lose also together.... they didn't win a medal alone

[@gracier2718]

The horses are in the back 1:32:44 and they get a ribbon

[@jodyhuston1516]

I agree, Gabriella. And all medaled horses should be carrying their country's flags on their backs as an honor to them. But that's for us. How to reward these incredible horses best ? Lots of praise, apples or favs, a warm shower, good rubdown, slip off the halter and plenty of time in a huge lush green pasture with their closest equine buddies , comes to mind ...

[@gracier2718]

Jody Huston horse would love that!!

[@gracier2718]

Jody Huston also, they don’t know what a medal is/ribbon that it is a success. They go by praise and love

[@aivamacdonald226]

In fairness the horse doesn’t care

[@ellaj2253]

To all the people complaining the horses dont get credit: did no one saw Steve pointing at his horse after the Ceremony, being wildly proud of Nino for what he just achieved?

[@s.s.4393]

I really appreciate your comment 💙

[@goldenday4939]

I screamed bloody murder at the top of my lungs when Nick Skelton hit that bar smh he was doing so well!!

[@jackbarker8267]

Jump off starts at 1:12:00

[@Aelinwildfire]

I wish these people wouldn’t get mad at there horse because it knocked a rail. They need to realize how high there horses are jumping and how much effort the horse puts into clearing it

[@JohnAllenRoyce]

No one is mad at the horse.

[@JujuManson]

These horses are soooo badass !!!!

[@ΑγγελικήΣουβατζή-ε4ω]

[@sadieengland572]

Wow 146k views and four comments, that makes a change

[@alisonmacklin5427]

8:43 flex looks quite mouthy he's gorgeous jumper I have to say he just looks uncomfortable maybe that's why he is so mouthy

[@kayleecharlton9588]

Justme or does rich fellers horse have a weird canter?

Fun

[@tommytimp]

That Abbey Road jump makes me angry

[@alisonmacklin5427]

Why may I ask?

[@tomshea8382]

@@alisonmacklin5427 Because the musical notes are backwards. It bothers me that got by everyone on the presentation team.

[@alisonmacklin5427]

@@tomshea8382 oh sorry im not really a good IQ person lol thx now I look yea guess that would be annoying i was gonna say like is it because of the filler and would say that all the horses went over that one easily ok thx for telling me

[@tomshea8382]

@@alisonmacklin5427 No, the jump is fine. I have no knowledge of show jumping. Just the decorations on the jump are wrong.

[@ellamcgarry2262]

I’m here trying to find the part where it zooms right into my 7 year old face, if you see it, tag me pls lol x

[@meganproffitt424]

Notice no one pays much attention to the horse. It's not like the horse just jumped a bunch of rounds and worked his heart out...

[@lillylucas2992]

The commentator wouldn't stop talking about the horses and how he like them!

[@jivedizzy1669]

Didn't you see Steve at the very end? He pointed at Nino to say that it is thanks to him. And he gave him a big hug as well. That just shows how much he and every rider care for their horses. They are part of their familiy

[@LydiaNewts]

Did you not see Alberto from Mexico too? He really praised his horse and the commentator took notice of that. I thought they showed respect enough

[@gracier2718]

If you actually watched, yes they did. What would you like to see them doing?
