videos of upper level non-warmbloods

Here is the update, also on the last post… (still page 1)

Hi,

I’m looking for videos up non-warmbloods (tbs, arabs, morabs, morgans, QHs, etc) who have made it past, say, 3rd level. I’ve mostly been searching youtube and have found some good examples, but could use more. If anyone has or knows of video, please share!

Thanks so much.

I uploaded videos of Courtenay Fraser (WA) and her GP Dressage horse “Against All Odds” – a 14 years old Belgian Draft/TB/Quarter, former PMU foal. She got him as 4 year old while she herself was only 14 years old. They progressed from Training to GP together.

Look at the confirmation of this gelding at walk first:

Nice videos. It gives me hope for my Belgian, standardbred, saddlebred cross. :slight_smile:

Stacy,

I have a connemara cross, and would love to see the examples also of non WB horses competing… Please post some of the links to videos that you’ve found… I’m curious.

DA… I ditto bird. Very nice video and nice horse. Lovely rider.

THANKS,
Lori

Google Chrissa Hoffman and Harry Callahan, or search YouTube. She is planning on taking him Grand
prix this year.

UPDATE: videos of non-warmbloods at upper levels

What I have so far is at:

I have a few more to put up sometime today. Thanks!

Morgan cross

Here’s a home video of the Grand Prix Morgan cross mentioned in an article about his owner in the most recent issue of DT.

JB Andrew … BLM mustang. There is a video about him but I don’t see any clips online. Also a book.

What about the famous Akhal-teke stallion Absent?

Guus doesn’t actually compete GP, he just knows the movements. There’s a Haflinger who does the GP movements as well in Holland, can’t think of his name right now though…

There’s also Kentchurch Chime. BEAUTIFUL welsh stud. Can’t seem to find Vids

There’s actually 8 welsh cobs who have successfully competed at Prix St. George or higher. Unfortunately I cannot find any video clips on any of them. Chime competed through Grand Prix, Gerrig Quest through Intermediete II, 4 Madoc produce (sons of Chime) who’ve reached Prix St. George. Baltic back in the early 90’s reached Prix (won USDF All-breeds). Cresent Moon Lancelot has/is competing at Prix St. George too. I’m also told through the grapevine that North Fork’s Cardi is at Prix now though haven’t confirmed it. There’s also several of us who have been or are competing at 4th level with our welsh & welsh cobs. Many with our sights on Prix St. George.

Love the blog BTW.

video

I’ve actually contacted PaynGo’s owner imploring her to post video to youtube, and I’d sure love to see a video of Keene. I wonder if anyone is archiving that kind of footage – KY horse park, USDF, etc…

Thanks!

Kentchurch Chime actually has several Welsh Cob offsprings actively competing at FEI, anywhere from Prix St. George to Grand Prix who are very successful. One went to NAYRC a few years back and did fairly well.

What very cool video’s and how refreshing to see Non Warm Bloods for a change performing those upper level movements and very well I might add.

Eclectic - what a cool video of the Stallion from back in the 60’s. I loved it when the piece of news paper blew right into his front legs and he just kept doing what he was doing with out a care in the world. Now that is focus…

Loved everyone’s videos thanks so much for sharing them with all of us. Keep them coming…

As of March 1st Chime had 4 offspring who have competed at FEI levels at recognized shows. I am aware of several more who are either competing at third and above or have shown unrecognized. According to the USDF database the 4 who have shown Prix St. George and above sired by Chime are listed as follows: Madoc Prince Henry, Madoc Prince Edward, Madoc Patriot (who took Sarah to NAYRC) and Madoc Ambridge Rose. Now I did collect scores for Madoc Dylan at 4th but as of March 1st there were no scores listed at higher levels. If there are others who have competed at Prix St. George and above they are not recorded with USDF in so far as the scores go. There are over 30 Madoc bred welsh registered with USDF; so, I’m sure in the future there will be more to add to the list. I’m certainly hoping a few of mine will be with our eyes set on next year for Prix St. George, though none of mine are by Kentchurch Chime. All I can say is GO WELSH COBS!

Wow! But I’m with you Exvet, Welshies are awesome. I’ve seen a Chime daughter who is a broodmare. She really has a stunning presence before you, made some real nice babies too!

I don’t have time to hunt for videos right now, but I believe the connemara stallion Tre Awain DeValera competed GP with Mari Monda Zdunic. Also, Orrie Decaster’s GP horse five or so years ago was a clydesdale/TB bred in Canada.

Harry Callahan and Chrissa Hoffmann, currently the only GP saddlebred in the world. Scored a 62% in wellington, FL and placed 6th out of 12th beating many nice warmbloods.
