Doug Payne has been on a bit of a whirlwind tour on the show jumping circuit as he slowly shifts toward focusing on this sport nearly exclusively. Don’t worry, we’ll still see Doug out eventing his string of 4* and 5* horses for the foreseeable future, but he and Jess Payne have been chipping away at building an equally strong string of jumpers.
Two of those horses are the 13-year-old Holsteiner gelding, Quintessence (Quinar – Victoria’s Secret, by Cacique) and the 11-year-old DSP gelding Chaccolate RFB (Chacco Blue – Wolrusa, by Oklund), who stepped up to the CSI5* level of show jumping this season and traveled with Doug to compete in the most recent leg of Major League Show Jumping in Ottawa, Canada.
Doug’s a big helmet cam guy, and he’s put up some videos for our enjoyment, including an analysis of “Quincy’s” round. We’ll drop the videos below.
