I love how everytime this horse is about two strides before the fence he's like ....."let me be!...I'm Lee!!"

[@shadrackzulu6138]

Nicely done, especially after having a fall with Riot just 30 minutes prior. I continue to be impressed by the toughness and old fashioned guts displayed by the competitors in this sport. Congratulations to you and Lee on your 2nd place finish! The guys look like they really enjoy XC and even on a day when you're not feeling your best - your talent shines through.

@@ansonstewart8215 See the comments in Munson's video from this event. Another viewer picked-up on the starter talking about it and made a comment that Elisa answered. If you watch the Lee video, you hear her say she hates jump 2 (which is where she fell).

So interesting and helpful watching you ride three horses over the same course. I LOVE how different their attitudes are, and how you ride them differently but with the same aim to support and reward them for their efforts. Just fantastic. Thank you so much!

[@peakiesworth2658]

To the 1 person who disliked this I hope you know how hard it is to horse ride. We give our everything to horses. These amazing beasts can kill us just with their own body weight. You have to put yout all into horses as it is the most dangerous sport out their. We can get kicked and thrown down but we always get up and keep on loving them no matter what. We have to give our trust to an animal with a mind of its own. Some people will say I'm 'overeacting' or being a 'Karen' but I just wanted to make it clear that horse riding is incredibly hard and dangerous. I know some people don't show it but I pretty sure that most people always have that thought of something going wrong in the back of their heads. Dangerous or not, we always carry on riding 💕

I wouldnt say hard... I think it takes persistence because not everything is hard like trotting and jumping cavaleties anymore. But I totally agree, you have to build your life upon riding to truly understand the effort, time, and practice that is needed to be a good rider. This lady did so amazing yet I’m sure she still has things to work on just like the rest of us. I appreciate the comment (because mostly people will just say “it’s a sport dummies” without any info to back it up. Happy 4th!

[@willowoodcreations6505]

Hi Elisa, I need your opinion on something (and everyone else reading this). I used to horse back ride and using a whip or a crop was never a thought in my mind. We had to move and so i'm starting up again, and I want to learn Cross Country. I try to do research on using one, I don't want to hurt or scare the horse i ride but I also want to learn to use one. Help!

[@lizhadley3803]

A crop is just an aid, like your seat, legs, hands, voice. Sometimes carrying a crop is enough and you never have to use it. Some riders will swat the horse if it refuses a jump, but most of the time a refusal is rider error, not horse error. You can be penalized or eliminated in a competition for excessive use of a crop or if your arm goes above your head to swing the crop. I rarely use a crop. My horse actually thinks it's a chew toy.

So i do hunters and have always wondered, how do they know where to go?

[@lizhadley3803]

The course is posted (sometimes a few days ahead of time online, sometimes day of at the facility) and the riders walk it (without their horse). Each level has color coded flags so you know which jump is your jump.

[@larkynhendren9854]

you walk it multiple (sometimes even three times) without your horse. it’s honestly exhausting depending on how long the course is.

[@valeriepersoneni5235]

Most male horses are a lot more willing to go, my mare would love xc but she likes to throw me off by diving to the side if we just go in a strait line then I try to steer her, so I would use my gelding, because they listen better most of the time.

[@larkynhendren9854]

Reinwater Stables most of the time geldings are more willing to work but if you create a bond with a mare they will do anything you say. in my opinion mares are better at taking care of you than geldings once you create a bond, for example my mare who tries to take off when most people besides me ride her hasn’t taken off with me in almost a year and a half. also i think that mares are just less common since my mare is one of 3 at the farm i ride at and there are 19 geldings
