I looked at the clip and the whole ride at least 10 times, payed the $8.
LS never made a straight stride after he cripled, not one balanced and clean stride. He perked up a little when he had the jump in front of him. Landed and nearly had the leg collaps and than wobbelt across the finish line. The moment AT quit pushing him, across the line he stoped. She pushed him across the line and he was dead lame.
She never pulled him up, she quit riding the moment they were across the line and the horse stoped.
The only ones that got it right were the FEI Vets. read their statements and they were brushed aside, by the OCs and Green.
What was she thinking, why would she ride a cripled horse towards a jump, risking her live.
If you look at the whole ride, you will see how LS starts to tiere and was hitting the wall, he was galloping flat and on a long rein, so she did what we all do, push and push them through that dead spot and than they get their second wind and go again. But he did not respond because he was truly out of gas and thats when she used the whip after the jump, at one third of the final jumps, according to the $8 show. He wanted to quit and she used the whip.
A friend of mine is a shrink and he looked over the whole video and came to the conclusion that she knew that something very serious had happened but was not willing to accept it. He calls it denial of defeat, but what he said to, it is a very concious decision when you take the first step.
He gave me a very good example, motor racer ( he works a lot with them ). They feel somethings wrong with the car minor vibration, so just a few laps left, so they make the decision to push on and reavaluate the problem the next lap. They do that lap after lap, push the decision always to the next lap, even if the vibration have goten so bad that they can hardly see and finally the car breaks and they fly of the road.
For Eventing it means, that the verdict of the FEI abuse and its resulting punishment is so minimal that it will not deter riders to think twice.
Maybe the result of ATs ride will make people more careful and think twice.
One more little example from the WEGs, B. Hoy basicly gave away a medal in X-C. In her post ride interview she stated, that she felt her horse tiere at the last third, she took him back and rode the options, if you look at the results, it cost her a individual medal.
It is a decision we make in X-C and most of us have made the right decision.
