Fence 16B at Rolex has a real bird’s nest on it.

Actually, pony is trying to kick the shark in the face and knock its teeth out[/QUOTE]
Do you think I came all this way (79 pages) and don’t know what I am doing?

With the amount of adult drinks that took you to get all 79 page, well maybe the answer is no 
[QUOTE=Argo;8121297]
This pony is a knee-hanger and has a less-than-keen expression. No deal.[/QUOTE]
I think he’s a knee-hanger too. I’m ascared that the shark is going to bite him. I think he is too.
[QUOTE=PonyOwner;8121299]
Now really what did Leslie and Lesley say sbout the jumps? They look big, but really what is so dangerous?[/QUOTE]
Example: Fence 2
There was a move from a preponderance of fences that have vertical front faces which make it easier to hit the fence to fences that are open underneath or have overhangs. The open area/overhangs provide and area where not only can the horse hit the fence but catch a knee underneath and dramatically increase the odds of a flip. There was way more, but that in particular stood out.
I worry that the sport is more about dangerous spectacle now than competence and good rider decisions. It takes a brave horse to run a four star, and a brave rider, both have to have a lot of talent and drive, but nothing can mitigate a dangerous obstacle to jump and mistakes happen.
Still, they are out there doing it and the roster is still full of competitors, even if the old schoolers are concerned.
On a lighter note, an email I recieved today had the first line, “pass the guac” and I laughed out loud.
We need to pass the hat and give the money to the first person to show at an A show with ‘guac’ or ‘guacamole’ in their horse’s name! Bonus pay out if they are wearing a green jacket, arrived in an open trailer or have a blue saddle!

I’ll suggest that to a friend of mine. She has a “condiment” theme going with her horses’ names. Right now she has Pesto, and yes, she competes in a green jacket! :lol:

George Morris would definitely approve. Send it in to Practical Horseman
so let’s go back to discussing about Rolex jumps.
which ones do people think would be the most difficult? I guess it can depend on the horse and its skills but I am curious if others have some thoughts.
Still I want to find out what is going on in the bird nest. I see there is one on jump 16B. A real one. Nobody put it there. Are there birds in it still?
oh, I heard about the real bird nest on FB

Now that pony’s knee hanging ways have been cured, please put him in the open trailer that Coth is buying for me through gofundme.

Let’s talk about Rolex jumps?
