Since it’s a handy hunter course and not a normal one, I’m pretty sure they’re looking for horses that can make not “proper” things look easy, like slightly off striding, angles, sharp turns, sometimes not being on the correct lead, ‘galloping’ at fences instead of going super slow/calm, etc.
I’m just thinking about how some of these horses might have barn names like Cheese Puff or Sparklemuffin
lol!
My one and only dream❤️ (also I can imagine big horses having names like sparkle muffin and cheesecake)
this is what we call it in New zealand😂
They are wonderful
Does anyone know what a call judge factor is?
Elizabeth Hirn they then break it down more to style and who they "call" rode the course better. They don't do those in the pony division though
i’m confused about the first jump. do they have the option to jump either of the verticals or the gate?
most likely
Audio?
If we can't get audio can we at least find out who the horse is?
There is audio
13:06
25:50
why are their strides so short?
🤷🏽♀️
Not three old time thoroughbred hunters...
