I can't believe Tsetserleg is 17. Such an amazing horse

Wow that is just a stamina infested course! Props to the riders for knowing when to hold their horses back.

3:20 = The Gather Before This Jump Incredibly Beautiful

I watched Tim Price's go and this go and I feel the commentators were kind to Boyd Martin. A 17yo experienced 5* horse that has been around such courses was clearly showing it knew what needed to be done. What I felt was the Rider was more tired as at times the upper torso was waving back and forth, so much yanking on reins, and not balanced, not in sync with the horse. That run out was all rider and Boyd's hands were not giving any good direction and Tsetserleg was too close to make a good jump. The horse made a good decision, why, because it is experienced. It is not a green horse. By now it knows what works, what does not and what it can do to make it work.

To say that the horse was tired ignores that it still had a lively trot after the finish. As Eventers learn, the horse reflects the rider and what I saw reflected was either or both a tired mind or a tired body of the rider. Watch Tim Price, most times small adjustments to the fence, staying centered, and in one moment accepting the horses decision for striding and working with it, not forcing something else.

The commentators were kind (they are paid for that), this was not a good ride and I would praise the horse for getting the human over the line safely, despite the rider. Fans may differ, but I ponder, what does the Rider feel?

I would think a big issue would be all the PEOPLE. Wow so maybe potential problems there. These horses need to be super focused.

Well I give all credit to the horse and would say that the rider simply was not with him and made the horses round far more work than it could have been. Quite a surprise to see such a scrappy and ugly round by an advanced rider.

The badminton Cross country circuit is always way too hard and extremely dangerous for both the horses and riders. Ridiculous

Didn’t Martin cross his line when he came out of the water and made a right handed circle before he jumped the log?

Those jumps are actually pushing the horses beyond their limits, don, t believe me, do some homework, cross country is a dangerous sport at this level, lovely feeling of air as you go for jump omg that says it all, higher, harder, horse a little tired, it's energy sapping, !that compare has no compassion at all,
Thought polo was hard on horses, but nothing compared to jumping at this level in xc, in this competition for a place or ribbon worth a few ££, cost to horse, pitiful😊
Making who, s dream come true ?, poor horses just a plac

I would love if a rider would mic themselves up and wear a go pro, and post it. You KNOW they talk to their beasts almost the whole way!

Welcome to the opinionated ignoramus section of equestrian comments. This is a safe place to spout off on things you know nothing about.

If the video sped up? It looks so choppy.

It’s not abuse the horses actually love doing this. And if they didn’t they would tell us meaning refusals and trying to get the rider off
