I think it’s amazing that she encourages her horse to focus and tells him well done when he does it well and says it’s okay when he makes mistakes. Best display of horsemanship.
Watching this, I’m totally blown away by Munson’s speed and endurance. Show jumping may not have been his favorite, but boy, he was bred and born for cross-country. What a dude as you said!
Always makes my heart happy to see Munson eat the land up and enjoy it like the Slew he is 💜 he clearly loves being part of a team with you, which speaks volumes
Awesome round. Munson was a super star for you today, especially over that crab at the water. He’s come a long way in his confidence there! Great looking jump, one of my favorites. Thank you for sharing your horses with all of us.
Good boy, Munson! He was so brave. He dove over that giant defensive crab and into the water like he does it every day before breakfast. Well done. Great ride!!!
My goodness, he's a machine! What a gorgeous boy. So cool to see the course from your perspective; I'm watching the 5* right now. I live in Baltimore so you are in my neck of the woods. Welcome!
Absolutely love to see riders talk to their horse like this, they don’t understand most of the things but they certainly understand the tone of the voice. This horse knows he’s a good boy and they seem to have an extremely close bond. Absolute GOALS 😭❤️
I don't think I have ever watched a GoPro video of someone that: - notices their error and apologizes to the horse, taking full responsibility of that fail - encourages their horse to stay focused - appreaciates the efforts the horse made - praises their horse so often And I think that makes you to the best horse owner I have seen yet c:
I used to have an off the track thoroughbred and she always ran mad. That's the only way I can explain it. Ears flat back like she was ready to kill. Amazing what you can do with them. Good job.
I love how his ears are always up. He’s so focused and alert to everything. ❤️ You also take credit for everything you do, mistakes and all. I love that. Keep doing you! ❤️
I am so impressed with you both, I saw this course on the cross country app with course designer Ian Stark and those jumps are massive as is the drop off. I was worried for Munson and his stamina (never should have been) when you were still on the down hill. How big is he? from my laptop I guessed around 16hh but after seeing him on this course he’s gotta be taller. Ps: My bad, just went back and watched his run again 16hh exactly.
Wow Munson has come so far, I think this was the course he spooked and nearly impaled himself on the rope pole last time?, he had wings this time!.Water, people, dog barking didn't miss a beat. Amazing work.
And here's me having heart failure at nearly every humungous jump, while I'm sitting comfortably on my bed with my laptop in front of me. You had to actually live it and ride it. INCREDIBLE!
Even the experienced average horse person would not know how exceptional this mount rider combination is The two of you are truly special The indurance focus and reguired communionication between you is amazing Truly exceptional I am in awe Congratulations to you both
Yes... Munson!!! Elisa..what a great ride. It had it's scary moments but WOW!! I would say water is not to much of a problem anymore!! I love this boy!! I still think "long" is a wee bit too long! Thanks for sharing . This was very exciting!!! Safe rides always!! 🤗🤗🏇🏇
Ah! Coming across your video is so neat!! I'd never seen a 5* except on tv lol, but I got to attend this. Watching you and every rider there knock it out with their absolute best was the coolest thing to have witnessed. I remember seeing Munson. What a gorgeous powerful boy he is!
Every rider needs to speak to their horse like this. Absolutely amazing. You can tell he loves his job, him galloping and going overall fast even when she’s not asking him to. He’s a beauty. Truly special. ❤
And u can also tell that she's in jockey position if u look at her shadow. It gives them the signal to go faster. And if u listen carefully u can hear her whip once or twice
@@HungerGamesLover101 Ahh yes that is completely true but most riders just naturally do jockey/half seat so they are lighter on the horses back. I think that she only whips him once or twice to get the right spots on the jumps, plus I’m pretty sure that she just lets him gallop with her reins slightly loose for the grassy parts. You’re completely correct though, she probably does kick/crop the horse a couple times.
I love these! It might seem weird but when I’m watching these I pretend I’m in the saddle, no kidding 😭 I do the jumping position, lean back on the canter, even the heels down 💀 save me please I’m going mad
Yay Munson!! Wow what a course!!! As someone who has spent a lot of time in Maryland, that Crab jump is everything !! He is SO FAST I always think that, but on this course - booking it like his granddaddy!❤️❤️
this is amazing when i watch these but other people they talk to the horse but not that gently etc your hose did a grat job and i love the way you calm him when he does a mistake its so sweet
It's so nice to see so much compassion in how you speak to him. The way you talk to a horse is a reflection of what you think when no ones around and hence how you act and I really would like to see more of that in the equestrian community. Considering how many abuse videos are out there and the amount of abuse that still isnt recognised and exposed but we all know goes on. There are so many coaches and riders who abuse their horses and when expose issue an apology and move on, not good enough in my opinion. So this is a fresh splash of water to see. He does hear you and he tried so hard for you. Both of you did amazing, I take my hat off to brilliant horsemenship and absolutely fantastic teamwork. 👏🌸 please keep it up.
You are incredible and this video made my day while I'm stuck with food poisoning. The crab was honestly one of my favorite cross country fences ever 😆
I think it’s amazing that she encourages her horse to focus and tells him well done when he does it well and says it’s okay when he makes mistakes. Best display of horsemanship.
❤❤❤❤❤
hey! how do you manage all the pressure and adrenaline??
I think all rider should talk to there horses like this❤️
That was such good communication and so sweet! Good job you two!
I do that and I agree
Yes I do it and I totally 💯 agreee
I love that he flicks an ear back after every effort to see how he did :) wicked run, great job to you both!
Holy cow! Boy's FAST! Damn, he really stepped up to this, incredible job!
Święta krowa ?
@@jessicapielech4901 it’s just a saying, basically meaning ‘wow’, or ‘that’s impressive’
So honest. That horse has enjoyed every minute. How dare anyone call this cruel.
@@jennifersivewright3117 anyone said this???

i saw the crab jump on facebook and couldn't help but laugh XD
It looks really cute.
Same! I honestly thought it just looked like a crab because I was sick and overly tired. Then I realised, "No, that actually is a crab", lol.
its scarily funny
Welcome to Maryland, where Lacrosse is the unofficial state sport, you can buy ANYTHING with a crab on it, and Jousting rules are taught in schools.
I saw it on #shiteventersunite 😬
Watching this, I’m totally blown away by Munson’s speed and endurance. Show jumping may not have been his favorite, but boy, he was bred and born for cross-country. What a dude as you said!
Might not have been the cleanest but man, it was beautiful how much he was having fun and just taking on the challenges! 🥰😍
Love this horse. Your horses have gotten so focused and strong. This was a scary run to me but you slayed it.👍🙏
This course looks incredibly draining and difficult. Well done!!
Nice to have this perspective after watching you go on the live broadcast. What absolute bravery and talent - Incredible round! Congratulations!!
can I stream the live broadcast somewhere now? :D
USEF should have a recording of it still posted on its website.
Munson is going faster and faster since he first started! So cool to watch his growth. He is determined.
Ears foward the whole time, You encourage him so much! Can tell your a proud rider and love him. Loved watching this
Always makes my heart happy to see Munson eat the land up and enjoy it like the Slew he is 💜 he clearly loves being part of a team with you, which speaks volumes
The rider and the horse remind me so much of Toothless and Hiccup specially with the "come on buddy!!"
The grandson of Seattle Slew ran a great round yet again! He is amazing!
Is he the grandson of Seattle Slew 😳 That explains
What an intense course; some of those combos came up fast and furious. Great job and well done.
You can realy tell they both love what they do, and props to the amazing rider who care’s amazingly for there horse ❤❤❤
Awesome round. Munson was a super star for you today, especially over that crab at the water. He’s come a long way in his confidence there! Great looking jump, one of my favorites. Thank you for sharing your horses with all of us.
6:03 - “go Munson!!” Was so cuteeeee
I loved at the beginning how you said « it’s alright, my fault » because some people just don’t talk to their ponies
Good boy, Munson! He was so brave. He dove over that giant defensive crab and into the water like he does it every day before breakfast. Well done. Great ride!!!
My goodness, he's a machine! What a gorgeous boy. So cool to see the course from your perspective; I'm watching the 5* right now. I live in Baltimore so you are in my neck of the woods. Welcome!
Welcome
i absolutely love how she respects her horse and shows nothing but love and praise💕💕💕
Absolutely love to see riders talk to their horse like this, they don’t understand most of the things but they certainly understand the tone of the voice. This horse knows he’s a good boy and they seem to have an extremely close bond. Absolute GOALS 😭❤️
I don't think I have ever watched a GoPro video of someone that:
- notices their error and apologizes to the horse, taking full responsibility of that fail
- encourages their horse to stay focused
- appreaciates the efforts the horse made
- praises their horse so often
And I think that makes you to the best horse owner I have seen yet c:
I love how confident you and your horse are! A good definition of horsemanship.
I used to have an off the track thoroughbred and she always ran mad. That's the only way I can explain it. Ears flat back like she was ready to kill. Amazing what you can do with them. Good job.
Loved the way his ears constantly swiveled back to get confirmation from her??
I love watching his happy ears and how one flicks back when. You say "good boy".
I love how his ears are always up. He’s so focused and alert to everything. ❤️ You also take credit for everything you do, mistakes and all. I love that. Keep doing you! ❤️
The endurance on this horse is CRAZY!
It looks like Munson and Sharpie both enjoyed their tour of the new Fair Hill XC! Great job. Go get'um tomorrow!
He really stepped up to the plate there... lovely to watch, especially the crab water complex - very testing. Well done, great teamwork!
No hesitation into the scary Crab water! Really good job...
I am so impressed with you both, I saw this course on the cross country app with course designer Ian Stark and those jumps are massive as is the drop off.

He sounds like a freight train! And the crab! He soared over the crab even with the water on the other side!! Good job Munson !
That was a freaking amazing ride. That horse just eats up the ground, so fast. Tuff course, Amazing job, both! Triple Cheers! ❣️🍀
He is really fast!!! Wow!! It takes a really good rider with good control over their horse to do something like this, good job!!
Wow Munson has come so far, I think this was the course he spooked and nearly impaled himself on the rope pole last time?, he had wings this time!.Water, people, dog barking didn't miss a beat. Amazing work.
Different course. Don’t remember which one, but this was the first time this course has ever been used, so it wasn’t the same one.
I love watching these videos, seeing the happy ears and the want to run and jump from the horses is so cute
I love how she takes the blame for mistakes she does and doesn’t just say it’s the horses fault
And here's me having heart failure at nearly every humungous jump, while I'm sitting comfortably on my bed with my laptop in front of me. You had to actually live it and ride it. INCREDIBLE!
What a good horse, jumping over it quickly and all over the place, I held my breath and prayed so many times. Well done
What a most excellent horse. With a huge stride. Very workmanlike. Respect to you and Munson.
Even the experienced average horse person would not know how exceptional this mount rider combination is
The two of you are truly special
The indurance focus and reguired communionication between you is amazing
Truly exceptional
I am in awe
Congratulations to you both
Yup that’s a good ol’ throughbred! He’s super fast and has tons of stamina! 😮
This is just so fun to watch and especially that she knows that it’s not the horses fault when it makes mistakes
Yes... Munson!!! Elisa..what a great ride. It had it's scary moments but WOW!! I would say water is not to much of a problem anymore!! I love this boy!! I still think "long" is a wee bit too long! Thanks for sharing . This was very exciting!!! Safe rides always!! 🤗🤗🏇🏇
When you see the crab jump is when you KNOW you’re in Maryland 🤣
What a phenomenal team! Loved how you praised him all the way!
Elisa: Focus
Munson: Speeeeed
Amazing Job!! 12th Place??? That Might Seem Bad, But Thats Incredible!! Amazing JOB!! That Horse, Your Lucky To Have That Lil Man!!
How 7 year old me felt trotting over cross rails:
Facts 😂
underrated comment
Fr 😂😊
Ikr I'm like ahh in jumping 10000 meters ahh
Lol 😂😂
It was so fun to actually be able to watch you today! Good luck in SJ tomorrow!
Wow munson really flew around that course! I remember when he used to stop at the water, he has so much confidence now.
What a great round. Well done for your encouragement and to talk to the horse in such a great way. Super job so well done!
Great ride! As a born and raised Marylander I loved that crab jump! :D Thanks for taking us along!
What a handsome fast boy he is that must take a lot of endurance in both of y'all to do those
Your pace is amazing. He just wants to go and you are so still. Beautiful.
Ah! Coming across your video is so neat!!
I'd never seen a 5* except on tv lol, but I got to attend this. Watching you and every rider there knock it out with their absolute best was the coolest thing to have witnessed.
I remember seeing Munson. What a gorgeous powerful boy he is!
Holy CRAP he can fly! He has come so far!
O M G. Fast and Furious has a new meaning! You two rock! You both are Superb athletes!
I love Munson's little ears. Best of luck to you, Muns, and Sharpie tomorrow in the show jump!
I absolutely love how this rider talks to her horse!!!
Every rider needs to speak to their horse like this. Absolutely amazing. You can tell he loves his job, him galloping and going overall fast even when she’s not asking him to. He’s a beauty. Truly special. ❤
Your right but just saying she probably was asking him to go fast using seat.,her whip or her legs
And u can also tell that she's in jockey position if u look at her shadow. It gives them the signal to go faster. And if u listen carefully u can hear her whip once or twice
@@HungerGamesLover101 Ahh yes that is completely true but most riders just naturally do jockey/half seat so they are lighter on the horses back.

Was ridden amazingly! What a team! You should be proud of you both
Wow! Your boy has got the zoomies! I would love to try eventing one day! You did an amazing job!!😄🥰
Munson is an excellent horse, he is good at jumping and running, it’s my dream to have a thoroughbred. Good job Munson😉
Very long and hilly course but very well done! Definitely a very testy event.
Well done! I watched your ride at home but this perspective is amazing! You both are so brave!
WoW Munson Milky Way Kid he was so BOLD bravO he Focused big time.... So beautiful how you develop the TRUST and connection xxxx
what a great rider! she didn't blame him once!
That was amazing. You absolutely flew round that course.
Wow, fun to watch. Flying low and fast Munson, well done!
Such a brave boy! You must be very proud of him.
Munson is a Superstar! What a great ride. Fast!
You two did amazing. you never blamed him for anything, pure meaning of horsemanship.
I love watching him run! Awesome job, both of you! 🙌🏻
I love these! It might seem weird but when I’m watching these I pretend I’m in the saddle, no kidding 😭 I do the jumping position, lean back on the canter, even the heels down 💀 save me please I’m going mad
You are…
Munson!!! Wow! Good job both of you!!!!!
Munson Slew has a whistle in his breathing ❤️ I would be tempted to pace with his breathing.
Excellent Job Elisa + Munson Slew job well done.
She's aware of this and he's fine. Unless you're a vet I don't think she needs your advice
@@topperhatschire stay respectful
i absolutely loved how most people cheered as you two went past, it was good encouragement from them :)
beautiful job from both of you, amazing run
What a ride 😍 the Crab fence OMG 😱
Well done !!! Smiled my face off on that round ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
AMAZING MUNSON IS A XC MACHINE 🤩
Tks for the ride! Go Munson!
Yay Munson!!
Wow what a course!!! As someone who has spent a lot of time in Maryland, that Crab jump is everything !! He is SO FAST I always think that, but on this course - booking it like his granddaddy!❤️❤️
You and Munson slew are so talented
Well done both! Congratulations! Respect!

The CRAB! What an amazing horse!
this is amazing when i watch these but other people they talk to the horse but not that gently etc your hose did a grat job and i love the way you calm him when he does a mistake its so sweet
Having a Thoroughbred is a huge advantage! He has both stamina and speed!
He is such a good boy!

The crab jump still haunts my dreams💀
You are incredible and this video made my day while I'm stuck with food poisoning. The crab was honestly one of my favorite cross country fences ever 😆
💙😍Omg Elisa!! Couldn’t be more proud of you two!! He’s so confident and solid within himself. Big hugs to you both!!🐎💙
Such a long course! That was amazing!
