I like to think that the real reason why the commentator's voice is so soft is because he's afraid of spooking the horses.🐎

[@shore348450]

He’s a legendary commentator - used to compete himself, I love listening to him, he’s so knowledgeable.

I love watching show jumping

[@cuteandcozyhome4776]

The commentator Stephen Hadley is by far the best equestrian commentator of all time.

[@nsunderman8854]

Love all the love from Alberta Michan and the rest of his ground crew for Rosalia, so much appreciation for the effort even with the faults.

[@christineortmanortmanchris528]

I really love to watch how the riders and their horses work so well together in attempting to make it over the jumps. It definitely takes the team of horse and. rider,beautiful!

Hahah

[@lexirandolph3378]

i really gotta hand it to marcus ehning. his hands are so soft. so many male riders have such heavy hands - there’s such a visible difference between his hands and the other male riders. i hate seeing them leaning so hard on the reins and being so dramatic with their hands.

[@ruthx895]

completely agree, he’s a very nice rider

[@shore348450]

His hands are soft because He’s such a brilliant trainer that the horse is loose in the back, engaged in the hind leg and as a result the contact upfront is beautiful and light hence the soft hands. He is just a joy to watch, but you know that the three minutes we see him in the arena is the result of decades of learning and training and perfecting his trade. Truly one of the modern greats.

[@sutherland1954]

I was there what a day I will never forget

[@kristin1980uk]

Same here, it was such a special day. The atmosphere was absolutely electric. I will always remember the whole crowd on the edge of their seats and that final fence eruption of noise when they finished!! All the ssshushing and when the British Rider asked for quiet because his horse was a little reactive that day, it was instant dead silence. P.s I was sat next to Anky Van Grunsden in the rider section. We couldn’t believe our luck when me and my Mum rocked up to be seated lol x

[@tildehaglund5183]

2:08:12 I love that he’s riding bitless!

[@kexoticz]

Yess!! Incredible bond!

[@prunerd4744]

Long shanked hackamores are actually pretty strong and can be harsh when used with constant contact.

[@tildehaglund5183]

Prune & Co You are completely right. But I think the same goes for bits. They can also be very harsh with constant contact, especially if the riders have hard hands. (Which, to me it looks like a lot of them have.) I personally prefer riding with a hackamore over a bit, since I don’t have to put any metal *inside* my horse’s mouth. (Although, nowadays I mostly ride with a neck rope or halter.) To me, this horse looks quite comfortable and content. I think that many of the riders who compete on higher levels, like this one, seem to have very hard hands. Too often, I see horses with their mouths wide open because their riders pull so hard on the reins. I wrote that comment since I found it refreshing to se someone on this high of a level riding without a bit, because it’s kind of uncommon. But of course bitless bridles can be just as bad as bits can.

[@sadieadler3065]

Prune & Co Yes, but it is a huge leap in the right direction :)

[@Julia-mi2ij]

Really common now in showjumping, barefoot to! Now I'm just waiting for dressage to let people ride in something other than a double bridle lmao

[@xxerinandfaithxx9914]

lol love how people in the comments are judging OLYMPIC riders on how they ride their horses.

[@Matilde_]

it's not because they're in the olympics that they're the best in their country, and it's been proven by this year's olympics in the modern pentalon, most of them wram HORRIBLE riders

[@aperson5237]

Hi I’m new to equestrian I’m watching it as my family are into it. How does the scoring work? If anyone can help thanks

[@leahozgun3894]

if they get a pole down they get 4 penalties if they go past their time limit they get 1 penalty and the less penalties the better

[@aperson5237]

Leah Ozgun does the times matter cause the leaderboard didn’t base the places on times but instead their faults

[@sbgimmie]

its the fastest time with the least amount of faults, it really only matters that they ride the course in the ‘time allowed’ , if they dont they get 1 fault for every second they go over that time. If multiple people have 1 fault then the one with the fastest time will be placed 1st in the group of people with 1 fault: a person with 4 faults could ride the course faster than 1st place but they are placed down the leaderboard into the group of riders with 4 faults.

[@meganwitherspoon3285]

I hope you realize that these are thousand pound animals with a mind of there own. They truly love what they do. If they didn’t, they let us know. They either run from you in the paddock, or they will just refuse to just and throw you off. Also these riders take great care of their horses, they love them with all they’re heart and they wouldn’t do anything to hurt them.If you don’t agree that’s fine but it is just something to consider.

[@SpottedLeafy]

@@sharont7979 That statement proves you have never been near a horse

[@emilycarroll6514]

@@meganwitherspoon3285 your comment proves you've never been around a horse. If it was scared of the owners/ riders, why are the owners/ riders not all on the ground if their horses are scared of them? These horses LOVE what they do!

@@emilycarroll6514 did you mean to respond to Megan? You two wrote exactly the same in your comments

That foam looks white to me, like it's just saliva - if the horse was bleeding, the foam would be tinted pink or have some red spots If you're talking about that thing flopping out of the horse's mouth, that's its tongue :P

I love how your Judging how an Olympic rider rides a horse they have had for about 6years when you’ve probably never ridden 🤣🤣

[@adrianashilling2573]

You should apply to be a coach for one of the Olympic show jumping teams since you know more than these horses and riders.

[@jock4hire]

Kathryn, I think a lot of this is due to the course design. It appears to ride rather sporadic to me.

[@kristin1980uk]

They have to go that speed to make the time limit. I was there this day and if you could see in person how big and wide these jumps are, you would appreciate the skill it takes to get around this course. It was also a massive arena to get around too. The atmosphere was absolutely electric! It was an amazing day!
