Here are the vids, with huge thanks to SpottedCat who is much cleverer and more techy than me

Marty trying really hard to showjump, with his unique style and a natty line in counter canter the whole way round

Feel free to comment, I won't be offended.

My first comment is: KatB.... wheesht! I can hear all of your 'good boy's
tongue.gif
. I swear they've bought a measuring stick since last year as well

HH looks kind of animated, especially in the tail department. Marty's counter canter is so balanced that I'm sure it's deliberate. Must just be practising for all those Int tests. I see that Hector had time to teach him the camp head shake before he left too

Great vids Baydale
grin.gif
Both boys look like they're thoroughly enjoying life
grin.gif

HH looks gorgeous and ever so handsome (as usual)
grin.gif
He looked like he popped round very sweetly
smile.gif
Marty makes you look teeny weeny! and his unique
wink.gif
jumping style looks much smoother in a video than in stills

It wasn't the "good boy"'s I was listening to, it was all the yard gossip!!! Perhaps Marty's test can be muted, don't know if poss, but am sure someone will find something to take offence at! Love the way in HH's test your camera crew are sniggering away at his exuberance Baydale. But his jumping looked very good I thought.
 
Oh god! I have sound off on this computer most of the time as it's the one I use for work too and otherwise I forget in meetings! I have audio-swapped them now, so it should be nice calm classical once the swap has processed.

That'll teach me to try and be helpful!!
 
Thanks for the comments about the horses, folks. I do think Marty is more sensitive than I give him credit for, so the bitting needs to be resolved. As for HH, well, what can I say, naughty about sums him up.
 
Curse you spotted cat

I have onl listend to the censored version . Will have to interogate tarr stepps for further details.
 
I don't know why, but there's something almost feline to HH for me...maybe just the sudden power bursts? Stunning horse, anyway!

SC, I love the snazzy marimba music for HH's dressage!
laugh.gif
But I gotta say, I could find you a better recording of the Handel for HH's SJ...

Ah, but could you do it using only the 'audioswap' facility on youtube under extreme time pressure to ensure that WW3 is not inadvertently started?!

Essentially, I did not listen to any of the music I just picked classical tracks of the right length....
blush.gif
 
Humph, for some reason I can't watch either showjumping video but I did have a lot of chuckles watching HH pretending that he doesn't have a clue what discipline means, or dressage for that matter!!
smirk.gif
What a little bu99er.

You definitely had your work cut out for you with those two!

Sudden power bursts?! Oh yes, they're selective, always around when you don't want them and never around when you do.

OliveOyl: I can see what you mean about his off hind but I think it's the tension making him more one-sided than normal, and he has a lop-sided pelvis because of an accident as a yearling. Thankfully that, and a sarcoid, would mean he's impossible to sell.

wizoz - HH did prove that he's clever enough to know the difference between dressage on grass and dressage on surfaces. I shall be replanning my warm-up routine with him accordingly.
