utterly crazy Hungarians playing mass lemmings-on-horseback is a real highlight... (3rd clip from the top I think) as is the 4-greys-pulling-a-chariot-at-full-gallop.
interesting that the long dr arena has the 1/4 and 3/4 lines mown as well as the centre line...

Also interesting to see them sliding down what looks like a cliff face (complete with painted on skull and cross bones!) in quite a forward position. A few wobbles but no-one really crashed and burned!

That bank gives the hickstead derby one a run for it's money .

Wow! Makes XC look positively tame!

I think I'm going to take up cavalry charging, I'll get some mates round and we can tear ar$e up and down the local playing field

Fantastic clips and a lot of very good riders with super hands. Very well drilled. Some of those horses would make brilliant modern eventers.
Also, love the life-guards at the water jump!
