Throwback Thursday: Peter Wylde at the Maclay finals

I stumbled across this video of Peter Wylde on youtube:

A stylist from day 1 !

That leg position is to die for!!!

Now I feel SO OLD. But great video! THX for sharing.

I was and still am a huge Peter Wylde fan! And Native Surf was my favorite horse too.

Lovely ride! Those horses sure look a lot tougher than those 18h auto-bots of today’s eq riders…

Peter and his horse were so game on that course. He looked like he rode off his eye and hit every spot perfectly. :smiley:

The horse went around at a wonderful pace and not the derp, derp, derp pace of the EQ horses of today.

I also noticed a lot more TB’s and no fake tails! Loved the girl’s hunter hair and the cute helmets.

I definitely agree with you, and one of the first things I noticed is how he carried much more pace than the EQ horses I see today…

This is such a change from the Eq rings of today…

The horse had a lot more pace that’s for sure.

What other things did people notice about the differences between that and today’s Eq ring?
