A GoPro, A Horse and a Showjump! :-)

Decided to break out my Christmas present yesterday, a GoPro camera and strap it to my horses head... and then loose jump her (as you do!)

Thought it would be interesting to see where she looks going into her fences, here is a little video I put together to share:

About 3.50 in you can see the video of her jumping (our view) so you can get some idea of what she was jumping as it can be hard to see from her view!

I've tried to keep some of the clips of her looking about (she spends a long time doing this!) and edited it to go slower as she jumps.

Hope you enjoy!

I feel a bit seasick now - but still fantastic!

How did you attach the GoPro to her head?

Nice one! She's great too!

I know, I think we need to secure it a little tighter next time! She also threw her head about and leaped in the air each time she landed!

It was on with elastic (which you would pop over your hat) but tucked the throat-lash through it to keep it secure! x

did it not bash against her head? Also made me feel rather sea sick! haha!

Nice one! She's great too!

Thank you! It was only her second time loose jumping (I started her jumping in July) but has a natural ability x
