A new eventing tradition thanks to Jon Holling: Celebratory streaking

By John on

Jon Holling promised to streak the Bromont sign if he won.  Being a man of his word, Jon kept his promise on Sunday night after winning the CCI3* on Downtown Harrison and the result is an instant EN classic.  As far as I can tell, the video is safe for work, but you may still have some explaining to do to your coworkers about why you are watching a video of a naked man running in the dark.  Insanity in the middle indeed. Many thanks to Team Wallace for all of their video updates for us throughout the event.  For much more from Team Wallace, check out their Road to Bromont video blogs [Part 1 & 2, 3, 4 & 5].  I am also happy to report that I have just heard from Jon, they arrived safely home in Ocala this morning after a 26 hour trailer drive back from Bromont.  Go eventing.

    I just about peed my pants laughing at work over this! (coworkers probably wondering what could possibly be so funny about data management)

  • Msterryann

    Classic!! You are a hoot and a holler, keep the insanity going!

  • Janie

    I definitely think that Bromont needs to include this in their bid for the WEG! bwaahahahaha They'll be a shoe-in!!!!

  • Rilmsty

    Wins CCI ***, concerned about getting hurt streaking. Legit.

  • Terry

    Too funny. Congratulations Jon (on winning not on streaking)

    Priceless! I think this should become a requirement of all winners in the future...

    I THOUGHT Jenn's giggles and comments during the intro would be the best part (Jenn Holling is SUCH a hoot!) but...then there was Jon....WOW!!!!  :) ))))

    And people ask me why I am still eventing in my 50s... Red on right, white on left, insanity in the middle is EXACTLY the way to stay sane and refuse to give up spontaneity and joie de vivre. Go eventing!

    Best part: how Blush Red Katie the grooms face was when the camera went to her. Awesome WIN 4 Jon and Jenn + Downtown Harrison. Thanks for sharing your adventures. What would be a good landmark for winner to streak in front of in London? Maybe we should ask William Fox Pitt where he wants to do that? LOL.... just kidding you know. LMAO

    I so hope you are going to put this on Facebook!  LOL LOL

    Young, Talented (Probably Semi-Invicible in own mind as is Young) Wins, Promises to "Streak"....realizes that blackberry bushes and other assorted brambles exist, heh heh...runs naked anyway and let's it get put on YouTube?    Not bad, not bad at all.

    I think it's a great new tradition for eventing...maybe it will generate some real NBC type eventing  enthusiam from the masses and make Steven Colbert a new fan after the Olympics.  I suspect half of Jon's "insanity" was generated by the 2000 mile trailering trip from the deep south and the prospect of the return trip...
