SHOWJUMPING: super-exciting 1990s-style jumpoff!

Описание: FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER: @ImmortalSynn
The 1995 USET Festival of Champions Jumpoff: where America's greatest showjumpers face off against each other, in this $100,000 challenge from back in the day.

The purpose of posting this video is to detail the differences between 1990s-style USA courses, that tended to put more emphasis on speed+agility (catering to the Thoroughbred type), versus the 2000s-type, which feature more emphasis on scope+technical questions (catering to warmbloods).

Featured, by order of go:
OLISCO - Michael Matz
LAND OF KINGS (LENZ) - Margie Goldstein (Engle)
FOR THE MOMENT - Lisa Jacquin
QUANTUM LEAP - Debbie Dolan Sweeney
RHUM IV - Michael Matz
LACOSTA - Margie Goldstein (Engle)
MONT CENIS - Patty Stovel


I was totally rooting for the lightning-fast LaCosta here, but Rhum's incredible win was certainly not without merit!

Worth noting that For The Moment was 21yrs-old during this competition, and is also now inducted into the Showjumping Hall of Fame as the oldest horse ever to win a grand prix showjumping competition!
