Helmet Cam: Riot Gear (2021 Area III Intermediate Horse Championships)

[@fleetskipper1810]

He is so fit. You had him galloping like a thoroughbred. And those ears! Such confidence he showed. What a great outing.

[@frenchpotato2852]

What is he anyway? Yes I know he’s a horse but what kind.

[@typerexc]

What a beautiful boy. Those pricked ears are like lasers...he knows his business.

[@urskajereb7251]

Horses knows what to do any time and anywhere ❤️

[@craziedaisy1499]

He was absolutely all there and focused and loving his job.

[@Saartje05]

I don't understand how you can remember where to go. The area is HUGE and there are jumps all over the place. I would be lost after the first two jumps.

[@hollygarner64]

Many cross country courses are just a huge loop lol. in my opinion they are easier to remember than stadium courses XD

[@katycat4200]

Ikr lol😂

[@Butter_StarStable]

Before the corse they walk around there area and the numbers on the flags help them remember

[@makeuptutorials5593]

And they must practice day and night 😅

[@A_Rat_120]

Same

[@CRohrscheib]

He's so enthusiastic. You can tell he loves his job!

[@toutcontefee3132]

That’s exactly what i thought

[@lilyanne_eq]

There was no slowing him down! ⚡️⚡️⚡️

[@odikoyote8763]

Awesome 😍

[@afnaar164]

I sure see something different! He’s just doing what she’s telling him to do.

[@susancorning4590]

that's why you walk the course 5 times...

[@emma-eventing]

oh my goodness his ears were pricked so hard i thought they might fall off haha what a goof - congrats on a great ride! also nice job slaloming between the trees omg

[@natashakate5687]

Ikr! Those ears were so happy, it was so cute. Usually when my OTTB does that, it means he found something terrifying and will spook in a few seconds if I don’t do anything 😂

[@natashakate5687]

OTTB stands for Off The Track Thoroughbred - so basically just a TB (thoroughbred) that used to race.

[@siennapenrose8691]

I could hear him starting to tire about halfway through but you encouraged him and he did such a good job!

[@laurasweeney9132]

Is that why he was breathing like that I thought it was something bad but never mind both horse and rider did an fantastic job 😍😍😊😊😊😍

[@EmmaAndTheHorses]

You do not understand how much I wanna do cross country and just riding by urself and jumping is such a relaxing peaceful experience

[@katherineperry5035]

He is so game and focused. I love getting to run the course from your perspective. I especially enjoy getting to see the cool down, untacking and hose sessions with the cookie chasers. Thank you for taking the time to do them.

[@Sameq6798]

You can tell he just loves this his ears are forwards and he’s staying alert and he looks so happy and he’s going at a very nice pace I can also tell he is very experienced with this

[@RachelOLeary]

his stride looks massive

[@meganproffitt424]

He’s 16.3h, so he’s a bigger horse!

[@music4you110]

He is such a handsome boy! You can tell he is ready to go with those ears pricked and he is ready to go over whatever obstacle is thrown at him! He is such a good mover and a good boy! Go Riot❤️ go Elisa❤️

[@danavickery5052]

I love how you are thanking him every time he jumps you are doing great!

[@malloriestafford6181]

To the people who believe horses don’t love their job, watch her pull back a little bit and he tries to yank his head because he wants to do his job! Great Ride!

[@sharonclifford7539]

Wow, impressive right out of the start box, he got away quicker and jumped even better in a higher gear. Amazing to a great horse raising to your expectations and clever you knowing when it’s the right time to press those buttons.❤️

[@lauraharrison9893]

He was all about let’s go together! Loved it

[@samsgirl4138]

Holy crap! I am exhausted from watching lol! Nice job both of you!

[@yakopro49]

Lol

[@GisellesEquineAdventures]

He jumped really nice on mostly everyone one, your horse is like a thoroughbred on a race track! Congratulations!

[@popcorn4lifeyt]

I love the confidence this rider has in her horse, and the confidence that this horse has in his rider, it’s amazing because not all riders make a good connection with their horses like you do, you were riding smoothly the whole time, and the horse had a smooth gallop as well, it’s like you two were communicating with each other to make the perfect rhythm, great job!

[@Equine007]

You're one of my favorite riders to watch and this ride looked so fun and Riot Gear reminds me of my ottb! Ears up and looking for the next fence!

[@lisashavlik2264]

From beginner mustangs to novice thoroughbreds I love to watch you ride!! Please keep posting these videos Elisa!

[@suzanneperkins5545]

I love watching his videos, esp, his ears. Thank you for keeping his videos up. What a loss to your barn.

[@striderthesaberwolf1096]

What happened to Riot?

[@suzanneperkins5545]

@@striderthesaberwolf1096 I believe a accident in the pasture, unsure if he died on site or was euthanized. Sure Elisa site she has a video, she does not go into details. Sad loss of a beautiful horse

[@FeMelch]

I miss this boy so much.

[@meiligregg8563]

I love how when she talks/urges him on he swivels his ear to listen to her

[@ahoythespoonsareawake4617]

I love watching these and I love the way you talk to him. Real team work - it’s a total delight.

[@mikaelaschaefer208]

Congratulations Elisa and Rye on the win!

[@oceancat0450]

It’s the ears for me. Horse ears are so soft, I love them. This horse is having so much fun.

[@Goldenheart_345]

2:25 sweet baby was like "you missed a stride.. here I'll get it for you"

[@lauranhill3240]

Thank you for posting this video! I felt like I was along for the ride on your amazing horse! Wishing you the best of luck in the future, it was a pleasure watching this beautiful team!

[@margerywallace119]

You do realise that all your event horses are able to count backwards from 10. And that starter is going to fall off the chair when one of them says "thank you" instead of you!!

[@samanthaclement4353]

What attention and enthusiasm! He was fully engaged and ears forward....it was incredible to see it from your perspective - Thank you!

[@uwggrad2010]

I just love Rye Bread so much. You have done an amazing job with him!

[@Evelyns_EQ]

I subscribed to you

[@gorans8803]

rye bread xd

[@breannachartier8090]

I like how you gave him praise for being a good boy and doing a good job he did amazing from what I’ve seen

[@michaeljschen3443]

Unbelievably great job by you both! My heart still beats hard now while I am writing this.

[@Light-o2l]

Wow that’s awesome… I used to ride cross country at 63 watching this took me back …

[@skylarsilvertower8806]

Wow! You can really tell by his ears that he knows what he’s doing and what a nice outing!!

[@orgilbattsetseg9290]

As a Mongolian. Horse riding is very easy but doing parkour is so difficult. Cheers lad.

[@debrabiderman4275]

Watta Boy is right on. He is learning to answer the questions himself. He is fast. The ground flew by and those fences came up quick. He never really faltered at anything. Well done to the two of you. Lovely ride. The sponsors put an ad in right as you jumped into the water and I thought for a second you had fallen. It then I

[@debrabiderman4275]

Oops. Damn these auto corrects. Great ride

[@allisonelkins1662]

I love how keen he is the whole ride

[@audrey9431]

Ry is definitely my dream horse, like omg he seems like the sweetest boy ever!! So lucky to have a horse like him Elisa

[@dragonesseather]

He obviously loves his job! Look at those ears! Lovely boy.

Riot Gear unfortunately passed away a few months ago

[@dragonesseather]

@@catbarr924 Oh I'm sorry... I lost my special boy, Buster, a few years ago, so I know how you feel. I hope you're doing ok and I'm here if you need to talk. 💚

Havent seen a course like this before. Got tired only by watching. Great Horse, Great Rider👏👏👏

[@holly7869]

Wyeth is like, I don't know what's going to happen next, but I bet it will be FUN, SO let's GO. Riot is more like, get in, sit down and hold on. Exciting ride. Thank you for sharing.

[@Eveeventing]

The fact that she did that without gloves is just amazing😍😍

[@EileenNestman]

I started this video with my child on my back while I pretended to do the jumps. He loved it! That was exhaustingly fun.

[@jdmagpie]

Wow! You asked and Riot really answered. Well Done!

[@susankohler668]

Love Ry, just love that dude, and his dressage is so cool!

[@angiedyer9619]

💙🙌💎👏 major proud fan moment here!!! Fabulous proactive riding as always and so happy to see him just clicking around. Beautiful puzzle so well put together! Thank you for sharing the walk back and untacking. Always great to see Megan and being such a huge support too. 🔥🚀❤️🥰

[@cindym.1618]

My heart was in my throat when he got so look-y over that one fence.

[@HannahHarbourDeep]

The ears were magic! Just full of optimism and confidence!

[@victoriacotton9716]

Talk about trying his heart out what a big brave boy and that was some incredible riding wow i am really impressed how you rode him he is big and long a lot to ride, you gave him wings and courage, he has so much heart and scope maybe even too much heart he will gain in wisdom with your big Heart xxxx

[@clairecreech9735]

All without gloves! I could never😂 congrats on an amazing ride!

[@Inlovewithmalu]

He was sooo amazing I am so sorry for your loss Hopefully he is having lots of fun in horse heaven And wait a moment ...you sold lee??? Really? I thought he was going to be your next five star horse after johnny Or is it now caz? ...sometimes when you don't have videos up about selling a horse or buying a new one it can be a bit confusing vut i'm trying to follow it all

[@annmariejohns5624]

His pricked ears says he absolutely adores his job. What a gorgeous boy ❤️

[@sangeunkim9613]

This is incredible! You and the horse are amazing!

He honestly has just taken over the reins from Johnny 😍👌 just wondering does he always sound a bit thick in his wind like that when he runs? It’s more noticeable when he is approaching a fence? Great riding ❤️

[@e.m.lumesound1070]

Yeah I'm wondering that too, possible roarer?

He just breathes heavier. I know Elisa said in a comment on another video that he actually recovers the quickest of her upper leveled horses
