And he did it with his own tail! Lol.

I own a sibling… and Osczar definitely got the good genes :joy:

Love my girl, aaaand… she doesn’t jump like that. (I’m sure she’d say that I don’t ride like that, either!)

How funny, I was JUST thinking about this video yesterday and how it’s about time to watch it again. Stunning. Thanks for posting!

Our Alla’Czars have been my favorite horses of all time! I still have my 23 year old who is the spitting image of his sire. We’ve had 6 in total - 4 jumpers, 1 3 ring horse, and one dressage horse - and I just got my hands on a straw of semen for my Hampton x Bonheur filly and I cannot wait for that baby!! My favorite stallion of all time <3

Such a lovely, happy horse. He looked so keen and relaxed. One that seemed very much to enjoy his job.

Thanks for the link @MHM.

wow what a lovely lovely horse! Scopey isn’t the word

He had that rare cat-like lightness and refinement that was so prevalent in yesteryears’ TB hunters (Alla Czar was 3/4 Thoroughbred) and seriously lacking in the hunters today.

No performative riding there either - he was truly getting jumped out of the tack (I know that feeling on the backside :joy:).

Love the no martingale, no fake tail. It’s actually all about the performance of the horse.

Yeah, I had to watch it again and I can’t fault him anywhere in any way. He flows like water, snaps his knees and hind end,mand clears everything by a mile. Just beautiful.

Tell me what I missed.

Why do they say on the video that the score was 97 or 98 point something?

I thought it was a lovely round.

Capital Challenge has multiple judges in each class, and they each give separate scores which are averaged out to a total. So he got a score of 100 from one judge, and probably scores in the upper 90s from the other judges.
