I thought the same thing when I saw the TWH video, honestly. I would *not* want to ride that horse around a course of fences. He was throwing himself at fences without a cadenced canter. The canter looked like an off kilter pace to me. He didn't appear to be sure where his feet were, turns were holy-shit unbalanced. A lot of it is the rider, sure, but not the way that footfall happens. I'm with HP. They do not appear to be safe around a course of fences, and that ISN'T WHAT THEY WERE BRED FOR. So it's OKAY (!!!!) that they might not be good at everything. Sure, both partners made it out alive. Would I raise my hand and volunteer for that? Oh hell no.
Why does everyone freak about about TWH? I've never seen a warmblood person lose their shit if someone were to say to them 'well your horse can't cut cows like my QH can!' well, duh. That's not what a warmblood was bred for. TWHs were not bred for jumping. Period. They aren't good at it, at ALL. (Now I'll wait for someone to find the anomaly in the breed. I will then show them Teddy O Connor, and tell them to go buy every pony they see and try to compete at that level. IT IS REALLY RARE.)
While I won't say that the breed should be entirely written off, I will say that jumping is not something they're good at all compared to... pretty much any non-gaited breed.
