Jos Verlooy and Sunshine jump 6'11" to win The Boeing Company Puissance

[@alexandtyler2629]

That jump was incredible. Sunshine did OVER good. The rider was very relaxed the whole time but the horse wasn’t. I know all the comments say the same thing but it’s true. Everyone was all about the Man. I mean seriously. THE MAN DIDNT DO THE JUMP! It was the horse! I hope Sunshine got praise after that breath-taking jump.

Maybe because it’s hard to keep your balance and to have the guts to jump over something that giant? I’d be praising myself too

Yes, that was the horse's jump, but please stop saying that the jockey has no merit, because it is an insult to all professionals of this sport. It is like saying that a sailor cannot praise himself for having passed an adverse stretch of sea because it was merit of the ship.

You have to be superbly fit, balanced, and completely believe in your heart that the jump is doable to succeed at this level. The rider made it look easy because he is frighteningly talented. Of course the horse was spectacular and deserves multiple kudos, but this was a team effort.

She is not forced, if she wanted to she could have thrown him off and refused, but she didn’t and she is loved by her rider and owners more than you think!

[@happyhuskies3838]

I see a lot of comments telling the rider what he’s done wrong. I have attempted a 5’11 jump and so I wanted to clearify something’s. I had to hold my horses head so high. It wasn’t cruel, it wasn’t mean, I was simply keeping myself safe. My horse could have bolted at any moment. Specifically because of how high this jump is. And no, it’s not mean that this man praised himself more than his horse. That’s completely normal. If I jumped a 6’11, I would have been so proud of myself. Probably, yes, more than how proud I would be of my horse. Nobody can prove me wrong. Humans are made to feel special after accomplishing something few can do. Also, please educate yourself. Horses foam, that means they are comfortable in the position they have been placed in. And the bit automatically creates a foam build up, which isn’t bad. It keeps the mouth cool and the horse will not overheat. Lastly, the horse was simply pulling because, yea, the rider was holding the reins very short. This was to have control, the horse wanted its head to see the jump and if you look closely, the rider lengthened his reins 2 stoppers before the jump, then shortened them once more before launching. This gave the horse enough time to see the jump and know what she was up for. SO STOP COMPLAINING THAT THE RIDER DID STUFF WRONG!!!

[@blauespony1013]

Ich sag mal so: WENN man ein Pferd springen möchte, ist diese "unnatürlich Haltung" total wichtig. a) muss das Pferd den Reiter irgendwie tragen können und da ist die Anspannung der Rückenmuskeln wichtig, genauso wie das Verschieben des Gewichts auf die Hinterhand. Denn Rückenmuskeln und Hinterhand eines Pferdes können den Reiter tragen. Vorhand und Skelett nicht. b) Ohne Muskelspannung wird sich das Pferd bei solchen Sprüngen verletzen. Ich bin nicht begeistert von der Höhe, die hier gesprungen wird, kenne aber genug Pferde, die damit keine Probleme haben und es lieben zu springen. Ob nicht 1,40m bis 1,60m vollkommen ausreichend wäre, mal dahingestellt (wir haben tatsächlich ein Pferd am Stall, das Sprünge unter 1,20m verweigert und ab 1,40m sich erstmal bemüht - und das völlig ohne Druck).

[@anniesrotzevlogs3342]

Gebisse verfeinern die Kommunikation zwischen Pferd und Reiter. Klar, man kann auch Gebisslos reiten, aber wenn man nicht riegelt, zieht oder sonst was damit macht, ist ein Gebiss keinesfalls unangenehm oder gar schädlich für unser Pferd.

She doesn't jump or canter much these days (not under saddle anyway) but if I take her in the woods or a field on a hack as she's ex cross country I have to hold her back otherwise she would just bolt off, as she's on loan to an older lady.. Can't have her learning to jump bolt everytime she goes in the woods, I compromise on letting her jog. If I let her go she would easily clear the fallen trees which are a good 5ft off the ground. She's 15'2. But the mare loves jumping, just point her to it, she locks on like the horse in the video and never runs out.

This was a great ride, though I have only two issues I’m really seeing here. The rider should of praised the horse more after the jump, that jump was massive! He did the work lifting the man up over it give that horse some more love! But the second problem I’m seeing is yes the bit is extremely painful and he yanked on the mouth too much, again I see the reasoning as he wanted to control and keep his horse contained, but still the horse was uncomfortable and didn’t seem very relaxed. But again this comment is gonna get hate but the truth is; Bits cause pain just like whips do, get over it and face the facts. If you ride with a bit doesn’t mean you’re abusive or hate your horse, just it’s painful and discomforting. Me and my horse have such a better ride bit less he’s a thoroughbred and he’s wild at times but even bit less I can keep him contained easily without any harm done.

[@jasminemurfin538]

There's always one. Look there are loads and I mean loads of bits that have no place going anyweher near a horse. Me and my yard use snaffles or bitless on all the horses. But at the end of the day mild bits in good hands fo not hurt horses. They are a tool, and if used incorrectly can definitely hurt a horse, this video for example, the horse was clearly in discomfort. However so can bitless bridles. At the end of the day it is much more about using minimum force with the most gentle bit/bitless you can use. And as far as bitless and bits go people should pick what is best for their horse because they are all individuals. I ride my horse in both, she jumps better bitless but can't bear having all that pressure on her face doing dressage so she has a plastic French link snaffle. I don't think anyone should be telling others what to use unless it's clearly abusive (like this ride or where you see horses finish a round bleeding) because frankly it's no one's business.

You ride western by looks of it. What would you really know about showjumping? Its a classical ridden sport.

[@adeleadvenier]

​@@Kat-mu8wq I used to ride english, but switched to western as i was more fond of the way rider and horse communicate, so i do know about showjumping, dressage, cross country and sorts. The comment I made a year ago still reflects my beliefs after watching the video, but if i were to write it again, i would definitely not put it into words as i did :). But you can see how unnatural and uncomfortable the horse looks as the rider pulls on its reins, and thus his mouth. I thank you for pointing out sliding stops and spins. As I do agree with you that sliding stops aren't the best practices of western riding, spins on the contrary are totally fine when the rider asks the horse to do it the right way (i'm not specialised in reining so i couldn't tell you specifically how it's done).

[@Calinda-Rosi]

I don't understand the negative comments. Very smart rider, awesome horse, fantastic team the two, horse and rider trust each other, he prepared himself and the horse in a very smart and professional way, the horse is super cool and satisfied after the jump. There is an inner connection between horse and rider that most people don't see. There are horses that don't need much physical praise, they are totally happy when the rider is happy and they know exactly they've done an extraordinary job and are proud of themselves. Have you guys talked to the rider? Such a jump is not possible without a deep inner connection. Such a connection is invisible for those who have never felt it. This was a high level performance of a dream team that diserves respect. I wonder how you would behave after such an adrenaline kick. And for those who do not know:you cannot force a horse to do this, they are born for this, you need the horse's will and consentment.

I agree about abuse, look at mouth of it poor horse, he's in pain and praising this horse after something like that doesn't take away its pain.

[@urscraniseregh8605]

Shut up u parelli idiots. If. The horse was being abused it wouldn’t wanna jump. If the horse didn’t wanna jump it just wouldn’t

[@elizabetheventing3827]

if you’re only ten you have no business on social media platforms😂 the video cuts off, you don’t know if he patted the horse when he got him down to a walk or not. but you should not immediately after a jump start praising and such (except with your voice) as it can easily unbalance the horse and make jumping uncomfortable. that’s like someone holding your hand through parkour and all of a sudden dropping your hand. you are obviously going to be a little shocked. if he has a contact all the way to and over the fence, and upon landing nothing but a hand patting his neck, it’s more likely to turn the horse off jumping than make him think he’s done a good job

[@ThomasDoubting5]

All the people on here. Look get a horse and jump 6ft 11 on a loose reign. And as far as not fussing the horse much afterwards perhaps the rider was high off adrenaline from basically flying a horse. If you can do both these things then hats off to you. The horse must have been in pain? Really? What so much so he clears nearly 7ft without looking like he's trying. I don't think it works that way probably got a hard mouth because horses in pain that they can't stand aren't really happy to do this. Chillout with the empathy. Life is painful as hell for all life in some way or another. Pain is unavoidable they kick and bite each other in herds and inflict pain on each other as a means to gain herd position pain is part of a horses life to a degree by thier nature. So please.... You do not have to feel everything you see. Enjoy an amazing feat by both horse and rider. Absolutely spectacular in my view.

My legs would be hurting after that big jump, poor horse 🤐

[@Kat-mu8wq]

Thats why its on sand and not grass, the sand softens the impact on landing.

[@gabrielle9577]

@@Kat-mu8wq I know, but it would have strained the ligaments and tendons, with or without sand. Horses are not supposed to naturally jump 6'11", I honestly don't think that's arguable, doesn't mean they can't, its just not good for them to take such leaps, plus the weight of the rider and tack would create more impact, and extra weight pushing down on the landing.

[@Kat-mu8wq]

@@gabrielle9577 thats why the wall is 1 jump for finding a champion/winner. They don't have fences that high during show jumping courses. The horses should also have boots or bandages on to protect the legs. The wall is also easily knocked apart if the horse isn't able to clear it, no real injury is done. Jumping horses usually retire at 15-16 and get used for hacking until their end. Our mare is ex cross country, she's 15.2 but could easily clear a ft fallen tree if you let her, she's 30 now and still in ridden work, just not much jumping anymore. The odd 2ft fence maybe.

The comments in this thread are so obviously from people who have ZERO understanding of horses and the show jumping world. This horse was professionally trained and ridden and happy by all measures. The rider was kind and soft. Counter cantered to the first for a reason, looks like a snaffle bit. If you have ever ridden a hot horse, you need some control with the running martingale.
