It’s called a Shadbelly. I also thought it was someone jumping in a dressage coat the first time I saw one ;)
Women wear a Shadbelly in hunter classics (back in the day before you had to have an approved helmet they used to wear top hats) and if men want they can wear a red jacket. I did see a guy showing in a Shadbelly once but whoever sold it to him was playing a mean joke because they are for women.

I believe there are a variety of possible “tests” they may have to do. I think another is opening/closing a gate.

that is so funny that they get off and walk their horse over a log! i have never seen that in the videos i have watched. do they always do that?

Thanks! That was actually my favorite out of the shots I took, too! :)

Great video! I especially love the picture at 0:45, thats a great shot with the rider twisting to get ready for the turn and everything!

If you don’t like the music, mute it or watch another video; you can comment BUT it’s my video and my choice of music.

Thanks for your comment! Small world, eh? ;) I really enjoyed watching all of the rounds, but I was a bit partial to Lydia and her horse as a few of my friends have coloured Irish Sport Horses. I couldn’t really recognize anyone in the golf carts, good eye! Yeah, the aqueduct video is quickly becoming a Youtube classic, lol! :)

Lydia Todd is who is one the pinto. I have known that horse for years. It came from Bob Cole. It was funny watching this video and seeing my ex in the golf cart talking to, none other than, Dave Flynn. Interesting! I couldn’t have made it out without your great video abilities. I like the music to the video and I think that you did a great job! The Duncan video of him going over the aqueduct fence is hillarious. You stuck with it and by the end it wasn’t such a big deal to him after all! Kudos

Thank you–will correct the info. :)

Very nice video! The derby looked like lots of fun. Just saw a little thing- Roar With Laughter won the first round, Walkaway and Abby O’Mara won the overall.

Thanks :)

Canon Powershot SX10IS. Primarily for photography, but takes pretty darn good videos too. 10 megapixel. The quality is a bit tarnished by Youtube, so that gives you an idea! :)

hj102892 November 9, 2009 at 2:17 pm

That paint is just gorgeous. Great photos too!

ThoroughbredJumper00 November 9, 2009 at 2:51 pm

What kind of camera do you use? The quality is excellent!
