Very cool Love how he talks to Henny; I'd be screaming my head off (and just in case anyone is not aware of this- I've only mentioned it about a million times- Antifaz and Henny are half-brothers )

Amazing!

I was tired by the third fence!

I was amazed at how steady Peter's head was the whole way round

That was great, thanks for posting. Good job I don't have a helmet cam ( when I'm jumping the dizzy heights of 2 ft 6 ) because I have a full blown conversation with mine all the way round

I agree! 12 minutes is a LONG time to be galloping (for horse and rider) let alone jumping those massive fences. That horse is so keen and you can feel their incredible partnership!

Also, didn't a lot of those jumping look incredibly narrow? Those horses are so honest!

Great video, thanks for the link. It's funny how you can be totally aware of the fact the XC is 10-11 mins or whatever of constant galloping & jumping but it's not until actually following an entire round like that that you really do appreciate how tough & fit those horses (and riders!) are. Lovely to see Henry's ears pricked all the way round too
