lol, loved the way the bay horse was held back really careful and way behind the others.
Final gallop ---whoosh!!! sorry, cracked me up!
Good class.
Seems to be a lot of draws in puissances these days, should they be going higher?

Was Brill!

Your right, there does seem to be a lot of draws, I think if they are going to show the puissance as the main class on TV the riders should be allowed to keep going higher; I dont know why they stop it at round 5? Is it just H&S?

I think they should be higher! If they are only allowed 5 rounds then whynot start the first round a little higher. How can they beat the world record if they aren't allowed over 7ft4?

I think they all have to agree to go higher, but I think they need to start getting it higher, they're nowhere near the world record anymore are they?

Isn't the world record for Puissance something like 7'10" or am I making that up...?

And I think they should be allowed higher too... even if they do the first 5 rounds as part of the class and anyone who wants to go higher to go for the World Record is allowed to continue...

There is a 6 bar at Spruce Meadows (in Calgary, Canada) at the Masters games that keeps going until the bars come down. Great to watch, it can get pretty high too! I cant remember what the record is there. 6 bar is a little different than doing a puissance but still the same idea.
