Ride along with me on Sonic Boom during the $25,000 Tryon Grand Prix - GoPro Helmet Cam!

Sonic Boom in our first $25,000 Grand Prix at Tryon International Equestrian Center. We were granted permission to use the GoPro Helmet Cam. The grand Prix is set to a maximum height of 1.45 Meters. We finished 7th as we had the last rail down, which you can hear at the end.

As an equestrian I absolutely love watching these, their so satisfying watching from the riders view.

HELP LOL

[@Auremin]

This gave me such anxiety 😅 those obstacles looked sooo high as you rode towards them and it almost looked like your horse would collapse on his front legs 😩 He didn't of course, and it shows what a good team you are!

[@trishwicks3590]

Me also Auremin, but when both were safe at the finish,it was such a fantastic accomplishment 👏🏻👏🏻Thank you for such a thrill❣️

[@aaditya_aspirant]

@Just Jazza no bro, many horses have collapsed, they are doing it for money.

[@VYAMONT83]

​@@aaditya_aspirant money is in races, not in jump. Prizes in jumping competitions do not cover the expenses of the sport. Those horses are worth fortunes, no one wants them to get hurt

thank you so much!

[@natashakate5687]

I’ve always really enjoyed watching your rides and have been thankful that some upper level rider films their rounds because it’s really helpful to me. Also, that was a stunning round, did you have rail on the last fence? I wasn’t sure. Apart from that, it was beautiful and I’m so happy to see that you’re going higher and riding so well. Great job!!!

[@HaileyRoyce]

thank you!

[@hevsiex1712]

First time I've seen something like this on KZbin - thank you! Very strange experience, though - I tense my core muscles as you go over each jump reflexively and am completely unable to stop myself doing it! Any other riders out there instinctively 'ride' over every jump

[@judyhano8277]

I really miss riding. Never did big fences but this really brings the feeling back. Yup, I tensed for each jump.

[@galecr]

I counted strides and tensed forward over every fence. Just happens! Awesome video!!! Never jumped anything this high, like floating!

[@songbird6414]

I tend to have my core tender whenever I ride, cantering, trotting, or jumping regardless, but I do count the strides lmao

[@Lvshanyi]

Warms my heart to see a horse that loves their job

[@-dusty_butterfly-]

I wish I had a VR headset, THIS WOULD BE EVEN COOLER! I honestly felt like I was riding, this makes me miss my lessons so fricken much.

[@DS-ky9dl]

Seeing this view makes me wonder why the horse would jump at all! The jumps look super scary even to me!!!

[@dark-shadow_]

If you train the horse well and if you have a good connection with your horse, you can do a lot. I can see that this horse is enjoying it. He didn’t want to refuse once. And the rider is really steady and calm. It’s just a LOT of training and making it fun for the horse

[@angelkotilainen]

Some horses are just born jumpers and love to jump! We have a few at our yard that love it. One will jump out of any paddock, and only stays as his friends are there! When loaned out he jumped home. He was loaned out to a few different places but always at home in the morning 😂

[@LinktheHylianChampion117]

@@angelkotilainen at least nobody has to pay for gas to return him! lol

[@e.m.lumesound1070]

It does take many years of careful preparation to get to this level. It all starts with poles on the ground and gradually works up from there. So it's not like they are faced with challenges like this over night 🙂

[@e.m.lumesound1070]

That said, not every horse is going to make it to GP. These horses are bred for the job, but they also have to have a spark for it. They definitely let you know when they've reached their limit and you can't really force a horse to do it (or at least not for long). They have to love it. I've ridden all sorts and the best jumpers will constantly be looking for the next jump and once they lock on, you feel them surge towards it. They get really excited and it's sometimes more a case of trying to steady their enthusiasm lol

[@5d41k3]

What. Rush. My heart rate increased. Thank you for sharing your ride. I will never have the opportunity to ride like this.

[@heathermilne2003]

Thank you for taking the trouble to make this! I am so amazed at your skill. I would get lost and forget which jump to go over next 😂

I used to ride and I miss it. The riding camp I went to, at the end of the camp season, we had a small horse show and while the course was very small and the obstacles very low, I was able to do the jumping portion in my final year at the camp.
