Those horses are sooo talented
Competition starts at 16:30
Is it hickstead ?
Thank you
1:14:39 this really upsets me. The horse made a mistake so in turn he beat him with the crop for something that was likely his mistake not the horses. He was just angry so he took it out on his horse. Not ok.
Thanks for the great coverage! The horses look great, glad they are obviously taken care of very well. Appreciate the share...
2:05:08 How did he think his horse would react to being smacked like that??
@Elise Windyard Yeah I know but it's a little too harsh. You need to create bond with the horse
@Elise Windyard if it was supposed to be use like that how come everyone else didn’t do that
It had nothing to do with the crop. That jump is massive😂
@E.playsrblx No. You most definitely are not. He hit that horse quite a bit after his refusal. No way whatsoever that that horse would associate those hits with the refusal. He was just hitting that horse out of frustration/anger.
@E.playsrblx no you are not supposed to smack them you are supposed to make noise or very lightly tap them with it
When John Whitaker hit his horse it made me so mad. Honestly if you feel the need to hit your horse because you messed up then you shouldn't be riding.
LITTERSLY and it was an accident. He was just angry that he didn’t win so he took it out on his horse. Pathetic.
If he was prepared to punish the horse like that in public what do his horses go through at home.
God... And I rode in a handful of 3'9"-4'3" & a 4'-4-6" jumper classes to help prep for the show jumping portion of what was going to be my first ever long format CCI1* 3 day event when I was 14 on my little 15h Anglo arab/Paint gelding and I thought THAT WAS TERRIFYING?!?!!!!
The way John Whitaker hit his gorgeous horse with the crop made me kind of sad. I understand the use of crops to reprimand a refusal, and ride with one myself, but it just seemed a bit excessive. :(
He was riding terribly !
Yes. He hit the horse many, many seconds after the refusal so the poor horse won't even associate being hit with having refused a fence. He also hit the horse three times. When last I turned around, FEI rules only allow hitting a horse twice for a refusal.
You shouldn't hit the horse one way or another. Horse skin is much thinner than people thought. Think about it: Horses can feel a fly on their fur. So what do you think does a hit with a goddamn crop?
True but when you are pressed for time to get over the jump you dont tend to think about it as much but I agree. Though you dont want a horse getting into a bad habit especially at that level
@@moonsmilk333 true but sadly like most rules in any discipline you see horses in most rules get broken. It's sad yes, but then you could go on to say using figure 8 bridles and double reins and spurs and crops and all that stuff could be considered as abusive and shouldn't even be used. But they do. Yes I did hunter/jumpers with my horse but I know that honestly we really shouldn't have any sports with horses that include any awards like winning money, or a ribbon because so many will cut corners just to get those things and sadly much at the cost of many horses and their health.
1:55:40 the horse the whole way through was very unsure of himself. you could see it in his eyes and ears, too bad because such a beautiful horse.
John Whittaker's horse was backed up and refusing to forward off his legs. You can see Whitaker's leg moving, asking the horse to move forward, but it was behind the leg and not responding. When a horse is so backed up it is moving sideways instead of forward off the leg, there is a risk the horse might stand up. He needed to reestablish forward so he could get it back in front of his leg. His use of the riding crop in that moment was, in my profession opinion, appropriate.
The second rider for england finished tugged the horse with her reins and did not pat it
Kaya Probst i think she was upset as he just wasn’t listening to her and they had 4 rails down. i do think she should’ve rewarded him though as he worked as hard as he could for her
Kendall Darks i agree. I do know some people who don’t reward their horses until out of the ring and the horse is completely done with his job, but I sure do hope she did eventually
You should def report it to the police....
@@philsteynb No, it should be reported to the British Horse Society (or similar federation, pending the rider's nationality). It can also be reported to the FEI. Police won't do anything regarding equine welfare at horse shows.

The horses look sooooo unhappy.
Ohhh that last horse and rider's slip didn't look good 😫 hope the horse is ok
Life with Daniela what slip?
The last rider + horse in the jumpoff slipped/tripped after a jump in the beginning
Life with Daniela oh ok i hadn’t gotten that far and i didn’t think about the jump off. sorry!
No problem :)
@@fkgn6969 hickstead had a heart attack 8 years ago so i dont think that horse died
Would like to see all of these in a Micklem bridle.
Not every horse can go in a micklem bridle, especially considering the bridle is designed for horses who like to evade contact, not every horse evades contact.
Also just because your horse is in a micklem, doesn’t mean they can’t get hurt by the bridle.
@@kaitlinelizabeth224 No bit can ensure that, but it is specifically designed for comfort.
1:14:37
Not only did John Witaker sit on the horse like a sack of potatoes most of his round. Him hitting his horse for a mistake that both rider and horse caused was ugly to watch. He may be "experienced", but clearly his best days were behind him even 5 years ago if this is how he treats "mistakes".
Does anyone know why the horses have red ribbons on their tails ..?
Yes, it's a signal to other riders that the horse is known to kick & to give them extra room when they pass them in the warm-up arena
@@joosiej85 Oh! Good info! Thank you, Joosie85. Peace.
There stallions
My friend has one
@@nellwhitt9954 stallions have a different color ribbon, red means the horse kicks and I think white means they are stallions
Devi galoppare in avanti
Hurray for J Whitakers horse for absolute refusal on gate re-jump after the ass Whacked him 3x for the riders mistake at obstacle combination 🐎
