Helmet Cam: Let It Be Lee (Open Intermediate | 2020 Rocking Horse Fall HT)

[@Lee-hp1wg]

I love how gentle you are encouraging him after he spooks at the one jump. A lot of people would have gotten angry and hit him, especially after he did it twice, but instead you were gentle and just let him have a look at it instead. That’s good to see. :)

[@iimdone]

i wouldnt say a lot of people would've gotten angry but otherwise i agree lol

[@bella-floyd]

@@iimdone a lot of people definitely would have gotten angry

[@iimdone]

@@bella-floyd not really lmao, most horse riders are just like that, and if they arent, they don't hit the horse lmao. so negative. they typically just take a deep breath and keep pushing from what i've seen. there's a pretty small percentage of horse riders who act in anger towards the horse to the point of abuse.

[@Lee-hp1wg]

@@iimdone “a lot” doesn’t mean most. a lot can be a small portion if the community is large, which it is.

[@DFXhmnq5]

I watched some of Elisa’s very old videos and in one her horse refused and he got smacked around 4 times. I won’t condemn riders that do that but it also cool to see the growth towards a more nurturing mindset :)

[@ameliakusar9136]

I just want to say a huge thank you for posting these helmet cams, even when things don’t go as planned (falling cameras, refusals, etc). You are such a great role model in how you stayed calm and patient, and were able to stay focused on the rest of the course after getting through the coffin. #goals!

[@lynnettejalufka2682]

I'm glad you didn't fall off. I love your attitude afterwards.

[@tessak214]

[@haileycampbell5472]

I love how I can see distances on here but not actually riding. Oh my goodness just saw the one he refused, TWICE I cannot believe he would refuse one! That was an amazing save though!!!

[@kimarchereventing7658]

hahah Im the same, I can see a stride so well in these videos but when I'm actually riding I can't see one for my life!!

[@Nembula]

You gotta love that Wallace stickability. Lol. Working out a few kinks today

[@emma-eventing]

holy sticky seat! appreciate you always sharing every part of the process, even when things aren't perfect. in a way, there's so much to learn from my own limited ammy perspective watching how you cope and move on from a mistake. nice recovery!

[@victoriacotton9716]

I haven't ridden for 20 yrs but i just Love how you ride and help your horses im a big fan, we didnt have portable phones or cameras in my day of eventing so cool to ride with you so gentle and brave you are bravO for all you do, love your generation of true horsewomen and men xxxx

[@feelingbetternaturally1099]

You are an outstanding equestrian. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

[@kiramazzola5227]

I love your attitude with any spooks or missteps. I think the equestrian world needs more role models that are encouraging and understanding of their horses like you are so thank you! I’m sure your horses thank you as well :)

[@markwatson3135]

Ok that was scary, but a great save. Hope Lee is OK!

[@muffindog3113]

Your boy is a very smart, brave horse. He consistantly is lenghtening 2 strides out (before his take-off point), and is a pretty good judge of distance, and I can see how the triple with the ditch just threw him. Horses are very afraid of ditches, they don't want to break their legs, and he's just a very thinking, fast reacting guy. wonderful learning video for everyone!

[@tryingmybestokay]

We all have rides like that, just keep on keeping on. You both did well, considering. Next time you'll do great, I'm sure

[@sarahdevincentis8483]

Go Lee! That was a great ride, good job staying on. That was very unexpected, didn't expect that from him!

[@mauraswenson8892]

Way to hang on! I nearly fell out my chair! 🤣. Thanks for the ride.😘

[@darlenehayes2982]

Really unexpected runout. Looking back, he wasn't locked onto this combo like he usually is and I'm impressed you were able to remain mounted! I always think of your guys being so perfect xc, so sorry you had this blooper on your awesome Lee. You make it look so easy, I forgot things like this happen....

[@KandtheBays]

This is seriously amazing horsemanship! It's so great to see even the top level riders have mistakes too. Sometimes I get hard on myself when my horse refuses or things don't go as planned. This makes me feel much better that others at higher levels than me have the same issues sometimes!!

[@swheill]

Coming into that jump I was like "ooh that looks a little tricky" but I really didn't expect him to stop! Well done for staying on, stickability on point. Love how gentle you are with him afterwards.

[@barbarabogomolov4577]

Well managed...I think it was the b element

[@loril2729]

Thank you for sharing, so good to see the challenges as well as the awesome moments 😘

[@debrabiderman4275]

Good job schooling him through. He did a great job. Just missed one!

[@alexboies1227]

Nice recovery! I worry about stuff like that. Ugh! Am impressed with your demeanor and how you took it all in stride. Me?.....scared jellyfish. This is what separates true riders from scaredy-cats. Good going ! I’m going to the cat box...

[@mel-ot9dq]

can you do another full event video with dressage and show jump! i personally love the dressage with your voice over the most

[@psantos8204]

been following from the start and thoroughly enjoying the ride. Quarrantined in NY and sifting through FLFinest and see you are back looking for your next project. Hope one of them is lucky enough to find its way to you.

[@3Sanibel33]

Great recovery. Glad you got over it! You just never know....❣️🍀

[@angiedyer9619]

🤩💙 Good boy Lee! Love the knees to chin work ethic! Such a cutie 😊 Good good job girl💙🤩

[@shadrackzulu6138]

OK, so you both got a bad run out of your system and handled it well. That means you can shine Friday in the 3*. Thanks for posting and best of luck this week with all your rides.

[@kbota97]

Well! That was unexpected! Glad you’re ok, I thought you might have hit your face on that post.

[@giddyup1173]

I enjoy your video. I'd love to know if you looked back at this and were able to figure out why he may have spooked.

[@salvadarius4739]

Well, I think we can all agree this ride was anything but boring! Jokes aside, you both did really well all things considered. These things happen, I have no doubt things will go better next time!

[@myhomeaquarium98]

Wow! That was quite the save!! I would’ve hit the dirt for sure! 😂

[@randomvielleuse527]

So well done! I learn so much from you every time.

[@Sasha-mn4qk]

To be fair that combination was set kinda funny, the Ditch looked like it was apart of the first jump

[@tessavaandrager4226]

That was unexpected. Good job staying on. I've heard him make a sound when he landed jump 10b. It sounded like he overstretched a muscle or something. Maybe that's why he didn't jump 11?

[@briarrr__]

That looks a little bit painful, lol. Glad you're both okay! You did great even with those two oopsies.

[@elisejohns9728]

One thing to say.... nice save

[@jjalbany2922]

[@myeventinglife4808]

Dear all horse people Being in a equestrian has difficulties and amazing this such as, sad happy tired feel like your giving up no one is perfect except god so what I am trying to say is horses riding everything is epic!

[@lizp7375]

That jump combo looked funny coming up to it. I totally understand why he refused it twice. It looked like it was a jump to a ditch immediately without any sort of distance to it. -_ -

[@gg3596]

Great save...great team🏇

[@justjaguar2314]

Well that wasn't so cash money of him! You'll do sooo much better next time, I can just feel it. Take care!⭐

[@claireandteddy2054]

I love how over dramatic he is with his front legs when he jumps 😂

[@jreventing9687]

Omg I love you and your videos so much❤️❤️❤️

[@leonslionessnz6948]

That was surprising I wasn't expecting him to stop, considering he was going so well. He must have been unsure how to take the fence.

[@songbird6414]

Wow he really didn’t like that one jump huh. Poor bubba. I cheered when he did it.

[@lej6550]

I still love Lee. Whatever happened to riot?

[@mmdehnmm]

Never expected that out of Lee....whoopiesss

[@Schutzhundfun]

Was he focusing on the B element and the A kept catching him by surprise those first two times?

[@fleetskipper1810]

I wondered that, too. Something in his line of sight did not read right, maybe?

[@cosmic1229]

What was thaaaat leeeeeleee. It was such a last minute refusal and then he lost his confidence, poor guy. But you pushed him through!! He'll be all good with a little homework

[@denisedoodles]

Wow! Way to say on!

[@leeangus1839]

Hey Elisa are you okay ? That's to bad on that jump. Could be the flowers that get him? And by the way my nickname is Lee Lee too. And I feel bad for you on that jump course . And thank God. You didn't fall off . And got hurt . Love you Elisa

[@BlueEyes-0222]

The run out at the coffin was odd. It looked like it was right there.

Hi, I know this is probably not the best place to look for answers but I cant find this anywhere else. so at my barn almost all the horses need a square pad and fitted pad, but I am considering share-boarding and I have my own square and jumping saddle pads but no Fitted pad, could I use a half pad instead of a fitted pad?

[@larkynhendren9854]

you cant use a half pad by its self, but you can use it over another saddle pad!

[@graceconnolly5765]

@@larkynhendren9854 I meant, could i use a saddle pad in place of a fitted pad. What the horses at my barn need are a square pad, and a fitted pad, (the fitted pad on top of the square pad) so could I use a half pad instead of a fitted pad, and still have the square pad down first. sorry if this doesn't make any sense XD

You need to talk to your trainer or the other owner. This isn't something we can answer because we don't know your horse's individual requirements.
