I think it’s amazing that she encourages her horse to focus and tells him well done when he does it well and says it’s okay when he makes mistakes. Best display of horsemanship.

[@user-zy8bm6pv8c]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@HorseHyper1000]

I think all rider should talk to there horses like this❤️ That was such good communication and so sweet! Good job you two!

[@horserelaxation4513]

I do that and I agree

[@peachysecreteventing7904]

Yes I do it and I totally 💯 agreee

[@toedstool]

I love that he flicks an ear back after every effort to see how he did :) wicked run, great job to you both!

[@justjaguar2314]

Holy cow! Boy's FAST! Damn, he really stepped up to this, incredible job!

So honest. That horse has enjoyed every minute. How dare anyone call this cruel.

i saw the crab jump on facebook and couldn't help but laugh XD

[@KLT-id9nm]

It looks really cute.

[@m.l.b.2908]

Same! I honestly thought it just looked like a crab because I was sick and overly tired. Then I realised, "No, that actually is a crab", lol.

[@starloire]

its scarily funny

[@redfailhawk]

Welcome to Maryland, where Lacrosse is the unofficial state sport, you can buy ANYTHING with a crab on it, and Jousting rules are taught in schools.

[@Zapporah85]

I saw it on #shiteventersunite 😬

[@fleetskipper1810]

Watching this, I’m totally blown away by Munson’s speed and endurance. Show jumping may not have been his favorite, but boy, he was bred and born for cross-country. What a dude as you said!

[@cherylcampbell7495]

Love this horse. Your horses have gotten so focused and strong. This was a scary run to me but you slayed it.👍🙏

[@natashakate5687]

Might not have been the cleanest but man, it was beautiful how much he was having fun and just taking on the challenges! 🥰😍

[@chloeiacovou907]

This course looks incredibly draining and difficult. Well done!!

[@karenbrown614]

Nice to have this perspective after watching you go on the live broadcast. What absolute bravery and talent - Incredible round! Congratulations!!

[@linnifer6516]

can I stream the live broadcast somewhere now? :D

[@fleetskipper1810]

USEF should have a recording of it still posted on its website.

[@terriholliday8038]

Munson is going faster and faster since he first started! So cool to watch his growth. He is determined.

[@jallz5533]

Ears foward the whole time, You encourage him so much! Can tell your a proud rider and love him. Loved watching this

[@niabiilo]

The grandson of Seattle Slew ran a great round yet again! He is amazing!

[@cissy3994]

Is he the grandson of Seattle Slew 😳 That explains

[@jdmagpie]

What an intense course; some of those combos came up fast and furious. Great job and well done.

[@betsysmall3576]

Loved the way his ears constantly swiveled back to get confirmation from her??

[@itsalyssa8136]

You can realy tell they both love what they do, and props to the amazing rider who care’s amazingly for there horse ❤❤❤

[@dirtyjeepgirl3774]

Always makes my heart happy to see Munson eat the land up and enjoy it like the Slew he is 💜 he clearly loves being part of a team with you, which speaks volumes

[@quinoasalads]

I loved at the beginning how you said « it’s alright, my fault » because some people just don’t talk to their ponies

[@SL33PYLUNA]

The rider and the horse remind me so much of Toothless and Hiccup specially with the "come on buddy!!"

[@daramcgrath4423]

Awesome round. Munson was a super star for you today, especially over that crab at the water. He’s come a long way in his confidence there! Great looking jump, one of my favorites. Thank you for sharing your horses with all of us.

[@BadHairdayKimmie]

Good boy, Munson! He was so brave. He dove over that giant defensive crab and into the water like he does it every day before breakfast. Well done. Great ride!!!

[@pennywebb867]

My goodness, he's a machine! What a gorgeous boy. So cool to see the course from your perspective; I'm watching the 5* right now. I live in Baltimore so you are in my neck of the woods. Welcome!

[@horserelaxation4513]

Welcome

[@hrdrockfarm8948]

I used to have an off the track thoroughbred and she always ran mad. That's the only way I can explain it. Ears flat back like she was ready to kill. Amazing what you can do with them. Good job.

[@RazzleEq]

Absolutely love to see riders talk to their horse like this, they don’t understand most of the things but they certainly understand the tone of the voice. This horse knows he’s a good boy and they seem to have an extremely close bond. Absolute GOALS 😭❤️

[@magicmoles]

i absolutely love how she respects her horse and shows nothing but love and praise💕💕💕

[@TheEpicWobbleEditzz]

I love how confident you and your horse are! A good definition of horsemanship.

[@Paige0557]

I am so impressed with you both, I saw this course on the cross country app with course designer Ian Stark and those jumps are massive as is the drop off. I was worried for Munson and his stamina (never should have been) when you were still on the down hill. How big is he? from my laptop I guessed around 16hh but after seeing him on this course he’s gotta be taller. Ps: My bad, just went back and watched his run again 16hh exactly.

[@kari8187]

He sounds like a freight train! And the crab! He soared over the crab even with the water on the other side!! Good job Munson !

[@kimtaehyung7739]

I love how she takes the blame for mistakes she does and doesn’t just say it’s the horses fault

[@shadrackzulu6138]

It looks like Munson and Sharpie both enjoyed their tour of the new Fair Hill XC! Great job. Go get'um tomorrow!

[@taylor_eqq]

The endurance on this horse is CRAZY!

[@bethanyjennings6365]

When you see the crab jump is when you KNOW you’re in Maryland 🤣

[@badlander2000]

I love watching his happy ears and how one flicks back when. You say "good boy".

[@sallymowbray297]

He really stepped up to the plate there... lovely to watch, especially the crab water complex - very testing. Well done, great teamwork!

[@katiemcintrye3579]

Elisa: Focus Munson: Speeeeed

[@BlueEyes-0222]

No hesitation into the scary Crab water! Really good job...

[@KarriePorterBond]

And here's me having heart failure at nearly every humungous jump, while I'm sitting comfortably on my bed with my laptop in front of me. You had to actually live it and ride it. INCREDIBLE!

[@free.spirit.studios]

I love how his ears are always up. He’s so focused and alert to everything. ❤️ You also take credit for everything you do, mistakes and all. I love that. Keep doing you! ❤️

[@jenotteni7889]

What a handsome fast boy he is that must take a lot of endurance in both of y'all to do those

[@caseyd36584]

He is really fast!!! Wow!! It takes a really good rider with good control over their horse to do something like this, good job!!

[@3Sanibel33]

That was a freaking amazing ride. That horse just eats up the ground, so fast. Tuff course, Amazing job, both! Triple Cheers! ❣️🍀

[@shelleycooper4890]

Wow Munson has come so far, I think this was the course he spooked and nearly impaled himself on the rope pole last time?, he had wings this time!.Water, people, dog barking didn't miss a beat. Amazing work.

[@fleetskipper1810]

Different course. Don’t remember which one, but this was the first time this course has ever been used, so it wasn’t the same one.

[@RaymondHaves-fl1ue]

Even the experienced average horse person would not know how exceptional this mount rider combination is The two of you are truly special The indurance focus and reguired communionication between you is amazing Truly exceptional I am in awe Congratulations to you both

[@sabinepaustian1450]

What a good horse, jumping over it quickly and all over the place, I held my breath and prayed so many times. Well done

[@laurablauch5954]

I love watching him run! Awesome job, both of you! 🙌🏻

[@AP-yt]

I love these! It might seem weird but when I’m watching these I pretend I’m in the saddle, no kidding 😭 I do the jumping position, lean back on the canter, even the heels down 💀 save me please I’m going mad

[@user-jl9nr3rn1d]

You are…

[@starvalley2957]

[@cornerofthebarn4706]

what a great rider! she didn't blame him once!

[@jenniferhodell5829]

Yes... Munson!!! Elisa..what a great ride. It had it's scary moments but WOW!! I would say water is not to much of a problem anymore!! I love this boy!! I still think "long" is a wee bit too long! Thanks for sharing . This was very exciting!!! Safe rides always!! 🤗🤗🏇🏇

[@gracefarrall9148]

It was so fun to actually be able to watch you today! Good luck in SJ tomorrow!

[@aleash3907]

What a phenomenal team! Loved how you praised him all the way!

[@eq.juliaa]

Every rider needs to speak to their horse like this. Absolutely amazing. You can tell he loves his job, him galloping and going overall fast even when she’s not asking him to. He’s a beauty. Truly special. ❤

[@JM.H285]

Your right but just saying she probably was asking him to go fast using seat.,her whip or her legs

[@JM.H285]

And u can also tell that she's in jockey position if u look at her shadow. It gives them the signal to go faster. And if u listen carefully u can hear her whip once or twice

[@eq.juliaa]

@@JM.H285 Ahh yes that is completely true but most riders just naturally do jockey/half seat so they are lighter on the horses back. I think that she only whips him once or twice to get the right spots on the jumps, plus I’m pretty sure that she just lets him gallop with her reins slightly loose for the grassy parts. You’re completely correct though, she probably does kick/crop the horse a couple times.

[@residentreptile]

You were one of my inspirations to get back into horses and gave me a love for cross country. Thank you.

[@catpurrson3651]

What a most excellent horse. With a huge stride. Very workmanlike. Respect to you and Munson.

[@beetlejuice7356]

I love watching these videos, seeing the happy ears and the want to run and jump from the horses is so cute
