What you got in them britches?
Even the best riders in our sport get knocked loose every now and again. The scrappiest of them not only find a way to sit tight, but proceed to carry on with their course as though nothing happened at all.
Here are a few amazing saves on some of the toughest cross-country courses in the world:
Andrew Nicholson & Mr. Smiffy at Burghley in 2000 (they went on to win the event)
Karen O’Connor & Park Hall at Rolex (early ’90s?)
Gwendolyn Fer & Leria Du Ter at Badminton in 2011
Clayton Fredericks & Walterstown Don at Barbury in 2012
Allison Springer & Arthur at Rolex in 2008
Michael Jung & La Biosthetique Sam at Aachen in 2013
William Fox-Pitt & Cool Mountain at the European Eventing Championships in 2011
Jessica Phoenix & Exponential at the World Equestrian Games in 2010
Go Eventing!
