Showjumping: insane saves -- the Oxer TwoStep!


Title:
Showjumping: insane saves -- the Oxer TwoStep!

Description:
Remarkable footage of two different horses putting their feet into the middle of gigantic oxers (spread-jumps) and bouncing out, for a clean round! Scene One: PIÑON KATJA - Mark Laskin (0:41 into the video clip) 1995 Brookside Classic Scene Two: EVEREST TWOSTEP - Michael Whitaker (1:49 into the video clip) 1995 du Maurier Limited International The fence at which TwoStep performed his twostep, was the bogey of the course-- nearly all the horses who had faults throughout that course, got them on that particular fence. It was a 5'3"tall-6'6"wide oxer positioned in front of the in-gate but angled away from it. Every horse wanted to drift towards the in-gate, and if that wasn't corrected before liftoff, then they would have to jump the fence at an angle, increasing the spread that they would have to cover by a tremendous (and usually insurmountable) margin. The du Maurier truly was THE professionals' championship of the showjumping world! Another spectacular clear round on this same course can be seen here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=0iNpmz-qdsg "Easy Boy: 1995 du Maurier Limited International" Katja went on to place 3rd in the jumpoff, whereas (the aptly named!) TwoStep went on to win, what was at that time, the richest grand prix showjumping competition in the world!

Clips from the 2008 Rolex Grand Prix of Showjumping in Aachen, Germany. Song is Weekend Warriors by A Change In Pace. I try to keep it simple without many special effects. The point is to show off the athletes that compete, not how many effects I can squeeze in 3 minutes of video. Footage is from Animal Planet.

Easy Boy: 1995 du Maurier Limited International
Laura Balisky guides the magnificent Dutch gelding Easy Boy to the first clear round for a Canadian, in what was the world's richest and most difficult equestrian competition: the du Maurier Limited International, at Spruce Meadows. The pair went on to place third after placing two clear rounds in both phases of competition, followed by going clean in an exciting jumpoff. The class was won by Michael Whitaker, aboard Everest Twostep, whose spectacular 1st-round clear can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7Jn2dPll04 Easy Boy can also be seen nearly mastering the grueling course of the 1995 Shell Cup Derby, along with Spruce Meadows' famous "Devil's Dyke", here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pfm4ZnURRAQ
