SHOWJUMPING: insane saves -- the Oxer TwoStep!
May 22, 2012
Remarkable footage of two different horses putting their feet into the middle of gigantic oxers (spread-jumps) and bouncing out, for a clean round! Scene One: PIÑON KATJA - Mark Laskin (0:40 into the video clip) 1995 Brookside Classic Scene Two: EVEREST TWOSTEP - Michael Whitaker (1:49 into the video clip) 1995 du Maurier Limited International The fence at which TwoStep performed his twostep, was the bogey of the course-- nearly all the horses who had faults throughout that course, got them on that particular fence. It was a 5'3"tall-6'6"wide oxer positioned in front of the in-gate but angled away from it. Every horse wanted to drift towards the in-gate, and if that wasn't corrected before liftoff, then they would have to jump the fence at an angle, increasing the spread that they would have to cover by a tremendous (and usually insurmountable) margin. The du Maurier truly was THE professionals' championship of the showjumping world! Another spectacular clear round on this same course can be seen here: youtube.com "Easy Boy: 1995 du Maurier Limited International" Katja went on to place 3rd in the jumpoff, whereas (the aptly named!) TwoStep went on to win, what was at that time, the richest grand prix showjumping competition in the world! As always, don't forget to check out the crazily-cute baby of the barn: www.youtube.com

Regina Mayer, the 15-year-old bovine showjumper, grabbed the bull by the horns and spent two years training Luna, the family's cow, to clear fences. Al Jazeera's Hazem Sika has more on the tale.

He is a strapping 16.3 Hanoverian x Trakehner gelding who is a handful, he bucks cause he enjoys it there is no malice there. For god sack get over the fact that she's not wearing a hat if you don't agree then fine but stop going on she can't hear you and theres no point having a go at me I'm not telling her what to do. Also stop asking stupid questions, he's not for sale and never will be get over it, if you want a horse like this message me and I will help you find one in the mean time, go and get some lessons cause I'm sure most of you could not deal with a horse like this. As for the music get over it, put it on mute I'm not changing it, if you knew them you'd say that it suited
