It would be pretty interesting to also see your warmup😄

Yeah, that'd be really nice

[@emilefourneau5155]

Yes!!!!

[@T.ms3]

Yess

[@emb8144]

well dang this is quite possibly the prettiest xc course I have ever seen! Couple of ‘oh crap’ moments but brilliantly ridden!!

[@redfailhawk]

Tryon area is stunning, trust me. Even the town movie theatre is a work of art-it’s not terribly far from me so I do go there sometimes over closer options because it’s also the only theatre that serves alcohol-and the entire town actually has life size painted horses dotting it.

[@Katniss1975]

I have to say, of all the x country courses I've seen, that one is the most "natural" from a purely aesthetic point of view. I'd love to just ramble all over the place with no one there.

[@theatrekidwithinternetacce704]

I have to agree, so beautiful

[@shadrackzulu6138]

Believe it or not, this was an Arnold Palmer designed golf course! Capt. Mark Phillips (UK) did the course design for this event. The turf held up well considering flooding rains just a couple days before.

[@Katniss1975]

@@shadrackzulu6138 Shout out to the Captain, then. It is a great course design. Those Brits love their table jumps. Yikes!!! The use of the water elements was really well done, too. Very unique!!

[@alexboies1227]

Holy crap! I think I counted 35 jumps with pretty long intervals in between. Beautiful course and pretty challenging to say the least. Water...amazing! Man, these horses have to be super athletic and YOU WERE TERRIFIC. Thanks so much!❤️

Great job Elisa and Lee! Confusing track. I would get so lost! Lee just flew some of those jumps.

[@EllaBean37]

Yea it would be so nice!!

[@stacydevinney]

I evented for 10 years and when I would ride my horse I would ALWAYS talk to him during our ride. It sounds so silly but I teared up watching this because it reminded me of how much I miss riding. Thank you for sharing your ride so I can live vicariously through you.

[@potatoslyrics1400]

This is the most beautiful XC course I've seen. I love the bridges. It's so natural. If I was riding this course while the sunset I would feel so free. I love the fact that there were jumps made from sails!

[@susanurbanczyk9084]

I am an ex hunter/jumper rider. No my focus is working with the "difficult" and cast off horses (I work Classically and with Positive Reinforcement.) and paring the horses with the chronically ill. Never, in my career have I ever had the courage to ride a cross country course. My best friend used to compete in Three Day with her little event horse that could jump the moon. It is fun to "ride" along with you and I truly appreciate how you talk to your horses along the course.

[@aakifahmahomed6533]

I love her because she is so confident towards the jumps

Hi Elisa , I just wanted to ask if you could educate me on how to teach the spanish walk , and if you could do a "all my horses" video and give us a little bit of background on them , that would also be awesome Love you so much and you are such an inspiration to everyone , equestrian or not ❤❤❤

[@graceconnolly5765]

hi! I believe you start with tapping behind the horses front leg with a whip, and take it away when they pick up or move at all the leg. do it with both legs, slowly. start being more picky with how high they put their leg and once they understand the que and they do it when you tap their leg ask them to move forward when they lift up their leg. after that I would imagine you add in a verbal command such as 'walk' or 'step' hope this helps!

[@ronelbuitendag2952]

@@graceconnolly5765 Thank you so so much ❤

[@snubblebubble4937]

You can also use treats as positive reinforcement.

[@graceconnolly5765]

@@ronelbuitendag2952 oh, another thing I forgot to mention, start next to a wall or solid object to make sure they dont think you are asking them to move sideways

[@tangiedamarona2528]

If you teach it with a clicker its really easy. Tap the horse on the back of one front leg and click as soon as they show the intention to lift it. Make them do it on both legs and reward every little step. I personally then switch the whip to the front of the leg and reward if they touch it with the leg so you can train the hight of the step quite easily and its much simpler to handle in motion. And you reward every little step forward, even if its not intentional. Personally i like the clicker because i can reward the exact moment they do something right and they really start to think and experiment. Personally i found it easier to train the step forward before i trained the hight, it may also take a bit of building up for the muscle. Thats what worked best for me and the horses get really into it

As others have said, beautiful course but a very challenging one indeed and the ground was not ideal. Those bridges looked so fun to ride over though, and I did enjoy the way the course flowed for the most part. I would be puffing hard after that, felt like an absolute marathon 😅

Very interesting watching this from the UK, the going looked pretty good in most places, as some of our cross country courses can get very wet and thus deep. Did you guys have studs in?

[@pineappleandlemonperson8548]

The shadow😂

[@leonslionessnz6948]

Lee doesn't like the boggy going. Interesting. In NZ we race our thoroughbreds on grass so at times the tracks are slow and boggy and thoroughbreds either prefer a fast dry track or a slow one or both depending on their galloping style. I suspect Lee would have been the type of racehorse who hated a slow wet track.

she has set minute markers when walking the course so she knows where she wants to be when it beeps, it helps her keep track of time and how fast she needs to be going in order to not get any time penalties.
