I love how you say thank you at the beginning, reminds me of when i was little and i use to gallop flat out round xco screaming thank you at every fence judge
This is such an interesting video for people, like myself, who have no experience in this sport. Horses are true endurance athletes and riding them over jumps is for courageous people. Seemed like a very solid ride to me.
As I'm sure we can all enjoy the skill and talent of this duo; I just want to say that my most favorite moments happened when you were not riding into the wind and you could hear nothing but the beautiful cadenced sound of Camerlingo's hoofs rhythmically striking the ground. Absolute music.
thanks for the great ride!!! very enjoyable sitting there with you and your horse as you carefully and confidently navigate the course. great riding on an excellent steed.
I wish XC courses were more like this...these days it is so technical and you would never have this many long gallop stretches without any fences, and that is one of the best parts of XC!
i know im asking the wrong place but does anybody know of a method to get back into an Instagram account? I was stupid forgot the password. I appreciate any help you can give me
@Jayden Darwin i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process now. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
I don't know if Doug ever reads any of these comments on here, but I watch most of his helmet cam videos and have learned so much from them. We have 3 horses we are training for eventing. These videos give us ideas for course designs for the different levels, timing and your narrative rides are awesome!!! Thanks Doug!!
Thanks for taking us on this ride with you! I've missed riding so much and would've loved to ride cross country like that. I'm going to have to gather a collection of these helmet cam riding vids, to keep that feeling alive. :)
The best Vid I have ever seen on UA-cam, bar none! Great Ride! I loved how you were chirping to the horse, I do this too : )) Thank you for sharing and not messing it up with music.
I think the bond between the horse and rider was very strong the horses ears were forward and happy the whole way and he was constantly flicking his ears back to listen to the rider. i think that maybe he could have praised him more but the horse definitely likes his work and his rider. Thanks for sharing this video!! 🐴
I always love watching you techniques on taking the different courses you come across. I have saved my ASS while jumping on the course from watching your videos!
WOW! Thank you so much for sharing this! I always wanted take my horse on something like this, but we don't have anything close to this to practice on. You and your horse are EPIC!
what a great ride!! I loved at 1:40 ish when you said "whoa" and your horse instantly slowed down. He really trusts you and it's obvious you guys have a great bond!! Loved it :)
Thanks for posting this! I don't get to ride much when i'm at school, especially cross country, so it's fun to watch and pretend I'm out there on a course again.
Miss the talk about the horse your riding and how you planning to ride over the jumps I am a big fan of yours I live in Jersey channel inland love watching you and your excellent team and all of your horses take care x
@baileydani350 It is a Devoucoux Ioldy...it's a great saddle, I use it primarily for XC. I split using it and a Chiberta for SJ. I can't say enough about them...
@oraclepw The total distance was 3640 meters ridden at an average of 520 m/m. I had a GPS on for this ride, the slowest we went was 13 mph and the fastest portion was 27 mph.
@HorseDarlin If you look on the sides each jump has a number in a certain color, which corresponds to a different level/division. For example, white numbers on a red background are intermediate, and white numbers on blue are advanced, etc. Then you just follow the numbers, but it is very easy to get lost. hope that helped...
Wow, you are an amazing rider and your horse looks super comfortable. So many times do you see professionals with bouncy horses or them just being bad bouncy riders. You, are VERY smooth.
The course is planned ahead of time and reviewed but there are also numbers and letters below each jump. The red and white markers on each jump are to determine which direction to come at the obstacle from. White flag to the left, red to the right.
@BethanHorseMad It probably takes a little over an hour to walk a course like that. As for the jumps, it's easiest if you memorize the path and as you approach the cluster of jumps you'll instantly recognize where you are. We would generally walk the course three times, or until you can visualize every turn and jump in your mind. Visualization is key!
Its a hand gallop, faster than a canter but slower then a full out gallop. Its more controlled and always used in showjumping and cross country. They will full out gallop between jumps, but they slow down to the hand gallop to get over the jump in a controlled manner
@HorseSafety I would have to say nearly all would be at a gallop, a few of the combinations would be closer to a normal canter speed. He (the horse) is very cool indeed. His name is Camerlingo, around the barn he's known as Tom or Clancy he's a 10 or 11 yr old, I can't remember off the top of my head, Dutch bred horse. He's 17.1 and a pretty sensitive, very talented type.
Lovely jumper, the both of you. I'm a show jumper so I'm not really familiar with cross-country jumping but could you tell me how you know which jumps to go to when you approach those clusters of jumps? I've always wanted to know! haha.
those jumps are really narrow and to all those riders out there who compete how do you remember the course???!!! lovely cross country course though, the saddle was gorgeous so was your position, i love your horse btw, thanks for posting this! xxx:D
@icehorse91 I've worked a bit with Jan Byyny and she had us take the saddle off right away; I think at this level of exertion the concern is getting the horse's TPR down and not the remote possibility of muscle cramps. I've been eventing for several years and the past 2 at the upper levels and I've never seen a horse cramp at finish. Besides, lowering a horse's body temp is a lot harder than you think. They don't go from 103 to 99 just because you dump a bucket of water on them.
A vet check is required before the run. If any issues are found they are disqualified from the event. Vets are always on hand afterwards if they are needed although they rarely are. Those horses are trained and conditioned extensively and are simply doing what they do best. :)
Yea doug. Great forward horse. I started on ponies who couldnt even walk without my teacher helping me. Either that or i got off him and lead him,Lol ur a great rider. Keep it up!
Wow, that's a really long time to jump and run, today, I had a lot of energy, and I made a course for my friend and she was like you jump it first...I had no horse btw, and by the time I was done I was out of breathe and that was only 8 jumps!!!
hey was this in canada quebec bromont, because i go and watch the showjumping, dressage and cross country there, i seem to recognize the land, so if u could reply it would be awesome! XD
I bet it took you a while to walk the course?! :) and how did you remember which jump to do(apart from the markers on then) because they all look the same :L
@maleficentgirl3734 It was probably (thought I cant be 100% sure), just all-weather track, sort of like the stuff a manege floor is made of. Most x country courses have them so the course can still be ridden no matter what the weather is like. And its probably in odd places along the floor from where jumps used to be. For a split seconds when I first saw it, I thought it was ice :L Hope I helped x
and if you forget the course, your mainly screwed, you might end up doing the kids, seniors, teens, route or, just go completely off of the course and get lost, that happened to me xD if you need anymore info feel free to ask me C:
Its usually sand or some other substance to allow grip for areas of ground that have turned to mud and became boggy and slippy which may cause a fall, slipping or ligament damage. The main areas you usually see sand is before and after jumps and usually after water as these are mainly the areas that get the worst. However it can be seen anywhere around the course.

Either these jumps are really small or your horse makes everything look easy! This was so nice to watch!
With this cam I really felt like was on the horse.. Really loved it thanks
this was a fascinating video. I like how the rider took the saddle off the minute he was done...reward. I loved watching this full screen!!
I wish XC courses were more like this...these days it is so technical and you would never have this many long gallop stretches without any fences, and that is one of the best parts of XC!

@Jayden Darwin It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thanks so much, you saved my account :D

I loved how you were chirping to the horse, I do this too : ))
Thank you for sharing and not messing it up with music.
The horse is so confident over every jump! Great ride.
Thank you so much for showing us the horse and equipment you use after the ride was finished.
That horse looks absolutely AMAZING to ride!
I think the bond between the horse and rider was very strong the horses ears were forward and happy the whole way and he was constantly flicking his ears back to listen to the rider. i think that maybe he could have praised him more but the horse definitely likes his work and his rider. Thanks for sharing this video!! 🐴
What a smooth ride :) and what a wonderful saddle. U make it look so light. Beautiful texture and everything
What i notice is the amount of collection you get from him going into the jump after the gallup. Top notch dear sir.
That forelock though
Ya 😳😳😳
I always love watching you techniques on taking the different courses you come across. I have saved my ASS while jumping on the course from watching your videos!

I am in LOVE with your horses ears! :D
This was amazing to watch! Thank you so much for posting it. I'm thinking of getting into XC and this certainly was worthwhile to watch!
Thanks for posting this! I don't get to ride much when i'm at school, especially cross country, so it's fun to watch and pretend I'm out there on a course again.

Looks like a seriously lovely horse, what a fantastic ride! Well done! xxx
Just maybe wish he'd praise him more..
Congratulations, such a nice rhythm, always in stride!! Super horse and great rider!!!!
@baileydani350 It is a Devoucoux Ioldy...it's a great saddle, I use it primarily for XC. I split using it and a Chiberta for SJ. I can't say enough about them...
Love the horses slow and steady controllable personality instead of rushing and out of control:)
I would love to see you narrate more of your videos, it is so cool to hear what you are doing/thinking
Nice spacious course by the looks of things? Beautifully rode and a Stunning horse!
Is it just me or do female riders praise the horse more than males?
Ye us girls praise our ponies more :-)
it's true....
That's so true
Jill Gardner Amen. So true
its true... i hadn't noticed that until now
I totally agree. You make this look like it is so easy. Your horse is amazing and so are you!
These helmet cams make it look so simple. Well done :)
I really enjoyed watching your course. Well done!
good luck to you both!
@oraclepw The total distance was 3640 meters ridden at an average of 520 m/m. I had a GPS on for this ride, the slowest we went was 13 mph and the fastest portion was 27 mph.
did any one grab their stirrups and pretend you were jumping at the Grand National?
Me XD
Yes
Yea I sure did
@HorseDarlin If you look on the sides each jump has a number in a certain color, which corresponds to a different level/division. For example, white numbers on a red background are intermediate, and white numbers on blue are advanced, etc. Then you just follow the numbers, but it is very easy to get lost. hope that helped...
@Jonskuli122 Those are balancing movements called oscillations.
@thoroughbredsftw He's being worked 6 days a week, galloping 2 of them on hills. We feed Cavalor feeds. He's a very cool horse without a doubt!
Wow, you are an amazing rider and your horse looks super comfortable. So many times do you see professionals with bouncy horses or them just being bad bouncy riders. You, are VERY smooth.
The course is planned ahead of time and reviewed but there are also numbers and letters below each jump. The red and white markers on each jump are to determine which direction to come at the obstacle from. White flag to the left, red to the right.
That was just awesome! Thanks for sharing!
+Doug Payne You have great riding!! Your horse has a great jump, but you have a great position/balance on his back!!
Doug is a CCI 4**** rider. Of course he's a great rider.
people can just say that you know you dont have to point it out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)

Using so many exclamation points then a smiley face is contradicting yourself.

We use hand gallops in Hunters too. :)

how do you know what jumps to go over? and what direction to go????
and i'm wondering again where do you know which obstacle comes next, because there were so much! oO
@ooooCHRISSIEoooo
I would like to know too, I notice a few signs but is there a map you study before you enter the course?
Lovely jumper, the both of you. I'm a show jumper so I'm not really familiar with cross-country jumping but could you tell me how you know which jumps to go to when you approach those clusters of jumps? I've always wanted to know! haha.
What a GENTLE jumper!!!!
I love how the horse is just so focused and suportive on the jumps and rider i would love a horse like tht xxx :)
You know you're a horse rider when you count the strides between the jumps!
Great ride! What kind of saddle is that?
those jumps are really narrow and to all those riders out there who compete how do you remember the course???!!! lovely cross country course though, the saddle was gorgeous so was your position, i love your horse btw, thanks for posting this! xxx:D
how big was that?? and how big is the sj and whats involved int he dressgae?
What an awesome horse! Clearly loves it's job!😊
What an AMAZING horse! Great ride :)

Wow that was very cool. Thanks for sharing!!
Wahouu ! Great ! this horse and this men are fabulous !
I was just wondering what type/brand of helmet camera you use? I'd love to watch my rides again from this perspective. Thank you!
A vet check is required before the run. If any issues are found they are disqualified from the event. Vets are always on hand afterwards if they are needed although they rarely are. Those horses are trained and conditioned extensively and are simply doing what they do best. :)
omg the saddle is lush, amazing round wish I had the oppertunity to compete horses like this, some people dont know how lucky they are!
Wow, the condition of these horses us astounding. Do they get a vet check after?
Juste :O trop classe !!! Bravo , beau parcour
Carmelingo was treating it like a walk in the park! Very calm horse.
What make is that saddle!! :O
Amazing ride. I saw you were in 2nd -- why did you WD?
you're a great rider! what breed is your horse?
WOW! I never realized how long the coarse was!!!!
after jump 13 did he or she check their watch?
Yea doug. Great forward horse. I started on ponies who couldnt even walk without my teacher helping me. Either that or i got off him and lead him,Lol ur a great rider. Keep it up!
Awesome job(:
How high are the jumps?
Doug what kind of saddle are you using on cross country there? thanks
Wow, that's a really long time to jump and run, today, I had a lot of energy, and I made a course for my friend and she was like you jump it first...I had no horse btw, and by the time I was done I was out of breathe and that was only 8 jumps!!!
So did you place at the end? brilliant round.
awesome !!
im from netherland, how did you get a camera on your helmet ??
That's SO cool he looks exactly like my horse from on top!
Lovely! Good job guys.❣️🍀
hey was this in canada quebec bromont, because i go and watch the showjumping, dressage and cross country there, i seem to recognize the land, so if u could reply it would be awesome! XD
I love horses
That was awesome! great job!!!
your horse made it look so easy ! :)
Wow. this is brilliant. You must be such a great rider, you head barely moves! (I'm guessing the camera is on your head ?)
I bet it took you a while to walk the course?! :) and how did you remember which jump to do(apart from the markers on then) because they all look the same :L
@maleficentgirl3734 It was probably (thought I cant be 100% sure), just all-weather track, sort of like the stuff a manege floor is made of. Most x country courses have them so the course can still be ridden no matter what the weather is like. And its probably in odd places along the floor from where jumps used to be. For a split seconds when I first saw it, I thought it was ice :L
Hope I helped x
I am kind if obsessed with horses but don't know much... How do you know witch jumps to jump is there different levels or just you choose??
There is always a planed rout, different levels have different colored flags and you follow the flags of your level, they are also numbered.
Oh okay! Thanks so much for clearing that up! 😀
and if you forget the course, your mainly screwed, you might end up doing the kids, seniors, teens, route or, just go completely off of the course and get lost, that happened to me xD if you need anymore info feel free to ask me C:
Each jump has a numerological number. Xx
@kreabis This was shot right there during the June 2011 event thx
Your horse jumps them so effortlessly and so smoothly
this looks soooo much fun!
@DPEquestrian1 thnx and u and ur horse did amazing! hopefully i will be able to do cross country some day! XD
This is a really REALLY stupid question, but where are you looking during this?
@xXxChristinexXxX loool nice xD were that many error points? sry i don't know all these glossary words, i'm from germany xD
That's a REALLY nice saddle!! It probably was very expensive!!
What camera is this x
Hi I ride but don't know much about cross country:) what's the purpose of the white stuff on the ground?
Its usually sand or some other substance to allow grip for areas of ground that have turned to mud and became boggy and slippy which may cause a fall, slipping or ligament damage. The main areas you usually see sand is before and after jumps and usually after water as these are mainly the areas that get the worst. However it can be seen anywhere around the course.
And because horses feet are tender to gravel and other rocks, also what he/she said
Does anyone know of a XC corse for beginners around NY?
