Virginia CCI* video
This site is so great.The video's are wonderful. Lots of good boy's and pats going around this course. The last 3 fence drop clearly showed if you had the guts, forward was better, but boy do I remember that being hard to do mentally. I was also surprised at how much slower they were than the 4*'s, not a criticism but as someone that hasn't had a chance to see anything but brief coverage of the "big boy's" it really shows just how fast those top level guys are going. I love the "snorters" puff puff puff........and it was interesting to note the ones whose ears flop until they lock on to a jump and then it's all points forward LOL. The first three or so looked to be incredably rideable, good for them. Shows great team work. Great video, thanks again.

Looks like almost everyone is wearing an air vest, it will be interesting to see if the same is true in other areas of the country this year.
Great vid, Buzzter! Thanks so much.

Another great video!
Alyson Schwarz and Polamalu had definitely a SHIT" moment! But she recovered well and went on with a pat. That was scary to watch but her comment of the last element was funny!
I was thinking to myself that these horses had to be so fit to deal with the rolling hills.
I also was thinking about the "fifth leg" and how it really came into play on terrain like that!
Thanks for sharing!
