This post and video was meant to show how good the horse was and didn't really mention the rider (except for the practicing without stirrups comment...which in that respect, the legs looked pretty strong to me, but you are right the balance and timing and ability to follow the horse or just get our of his way was pretty off). I was impressed - by the horse for doing that like he did, even with the touches. And by the rider for staying on. That always impresses me, especially when I see myself stay on from an outside view of a camera or something. It never feels as bad as it looks.

I did not think this horse was going to save that first hang up at all. Was this recent? Could the rider have been DQ'd based on that with the new rules? I love to watch XC but don't follow.

Right now the eventers are super critical of rider error, especially ones that almost cause rotational falls, in the XC phase thanks to Lainy Ashker and others. I'm with shiggins on the rider, although the horse is amazing.
