My mom & I’d go to Devon in the 70s to watch him along with all the greats at that time, Rodney Jenkins, George Morris, Katy Monahan, Leslie Burr, The Galloping Grandfather and others. Fun days and the crowd loved them all.
One was a poor horseman. R 10:02 odney Jenkins. At a l 10:02 10:02 arge outdoor show, we were there. His horse refused a jump, he laid into beating it with his croup. Wow, the entire crowd booed him, yelled for him to stop. The announcer told him to leave the ring. The ring master even walked out to remove Rodney. He was disqualified from further classes. . I'll remember that always. Being a horse lover/owner that made me extremely angry. There were rumors he was a harsh rider. And he proved it to a hugh crowd that night. And the abuse was reported in a horse magazine. He was/ is a disgrace to the horse world.
He was an exquisite show jumping rider, and he turned out to be an outstanding trainer of racehorses also. I've been lucky enough to see him compete in the show ring at the Washington International Horse Show. He was a phenomenal talent, and still is too! Wish him all the success for his future.
Ein hervorragender Reiter mit einem eleganten Stil, makellosen Sitz und feiner, ruhiger Hand. Ich habe ihn 1978 hier in Aachen bei der Weltmeisterschaft gesehen mit Jet Run. Die beiden waren das absolute Traumpaar. Seine Ritte waren immer ein voller Genuß. Für mich sind er und William Steinkraus die größten Reiter des US Equestrian Team.

I loved, loved, loved showing at Upperville. So beautiful, such great riders, so much fun. Had a crush on Michael Matz; all the girls did.
Love his quiet hands. He always " gave the horse it's head"

LS Sie reden mehr sowohl aus der Seele , wie aus dem Herzen !!!!!!!!!
Hugh Weily was a great.
What a amazing story, and exceptional rider and trainer. I would love to meet him one day.
Very good video 👍👍
Outstanding!
Love seeing video of the Upperville GP on the grass:,they don’t do that anymore ( they make a sand ring instead works better if it rains)
Also love seeing pictures of poor Barbaro
Yes, a hero too!:)
❤
Brilliant horseman
It's so weird to see judgment not ridden by bz
I had an Olisco colt that was multi champion Hunter
I used to sit next to his wife in the 80's at Wellington...not knowing he was cheating on her with a groom...no less.
Fact? Or gossip by jealous people?

Prove it. Show he was cheating. Rumors aren't facts.
