SHOWJUMPING: Stallion, thy name is Beauty!

A trinity of the most breathtakingly BEAUTIFUL stallions in 1990s American showjumping!
ACTION - love everything about him! (*drooling*)
(Lynn Obligado)
1996 Budweiser Grand Prix of Denver
FIGARO - "Mr. Personality," as you can clearly see in his jumpoff round!
(Leslie Steele)
1995 Brookside Classic, and jumpoff
JUDGEMENT (sic) - What's more to say? This stallion's legacy/record speaks for itself!
(Michael Matz)
1998 American Gold Cup grand prix of Devon
Apologies for the (lack of) quality on the first video, it's from a very old/dusty VHS... I've done the best I can with it.
Another action-packed round can be seen at the grand prix of Denver with Leslie Steele and Goodness Gracious:
• SHOWJUMPING: Leslie St...
As well as clear round on the Brookside Classic's jumpoff, by Susan Hutchison and America 1:
• SHOWJUMPING: America 1...

When I was little I loved to go to my grandmas house and watch show jumping!! She had cable, and every time it was on she would call me, and I would walk over and we'd watch it.

I knew I would find you here...LOL Wasn't Michael just perfect? You could hear, even back then, the admiration that so many felt for him. And what did they say. The master? Indeed. I loved the comment about patients. Now we know where he gets it and why he has no problem with it when needed :) Beautiful horse and beautiful ride.

[@dreamershavemorefun]

He's now retired unfortunately but what a career he had

[@LyndaP31]

great video! I had not seen this before!!! LOVE Judgement.

[@ImmortalSynn]

Also, just FYI... Michael and Judgement went on to win that class, by a considerable margin. ;)

[@ImmortalSynn]

Ah yes, the days of velvet hunt caps... dangerous, but still an interesting/elegant part of bygone tradition, no? ;)

[@ImmortalSynn]

Indeed, isn't he just goooooo'geous!

[@horsecrazy132]

Such amazing horses... i wince at the lack of proper helmets on the riders though!

@codywilliams153 An experienced equestrian would know better than to lament a rider's talent based on a single observed ride.... ...you actually just said that about one of the most accomplished riders/trainers on the West coast. LOL
