He died very shortly after this, just as his fame was beginning to peak. That's why his handless-victory gallop was so sentimental... it's how most of the world last got to see him.
I totally agree with you! Thankyou for uploading, It was great fun watching him, He just kept this neat tidy balenced rythm all the way round and the horse jumped with incredible power and care! Gahh this was great to watch, made it look like a schooling session at home! :D
@kasmild I do have several clips of Rochet M at both the Olympics and the World Equestrian Games. I'll put them up eventually... but am currently experiencing a software issue, so cannot upload anything currently until it's corrected.
I have a grandson of his! We are doing dressage, originally from Australia and now in Germany training with Leonie Bramall. Search AEA Julius in UA-cam and you can see him!
@2101lovelilly That Fence was in celebration of the upcoming Olympics in Sydney, 2000. This venue is clearly the Georgia International HorsePark... and even a 3second Google search will tell you that Jus de Pomme won gold in 1996 Atlanta, not 2000 Sydney. ;)
@immortalSynn Would you be able to post te video of Yan Topps and Top Gun jumping during this games ? I watched reruns of this as a kid , and wanted to see them once again :3 or really any other competitors from this Olympics ^^ I would love it ! :D
@Lyllerh That's actually, for lack of a better word, an advantage: it was the late '90s when FEI-level jumpoff courses began to shift away from emphasizing speed to almost exclusively emphasizing technical capability and scope tests... perfectly suited for the heavier/slower/scopier Warmbloods (like this horse) over the hotter TB-types.
Well, I have several of Loro Piana Tomboy and Rodrigo Pessoa already up, and may add another one of them soon. Also will be adding ET FRH and Hugo Simon, from this competition as well.
amazing i expecially love how this horse looks so proud of himself with everyone cheering, he looks like he's enjoying it so much, and i think he did! and q sorry but where where these held because the last jump looks like the Sydney Harbour Bridge with the Aussie flag inside it and Boomerangs, but that was the 2000 Olympics wasn't it, sorry but yeh where was it held?
@Lyllerh I was speaking to heavier than TBs. I'm aware WBs are getting lighter. The comparison was also between today's courses, and the more typical "running" courses of the '70s-'90s. See my video "Super-exciting 1990s-style Jumpoff" to get an idea of what I'm talking about.
@diangofango Yes, I have plenty. ;) And you're in luck... because I plan to make a video called "Send in the Clones," featuring Gem Twist, Calvaro V, and ET FRH. It'll probably be sometime in the next few weeks, keep a lookout for it. :)
I can. They had at least one clear round, but I'm not sure if I actually caught that on tape. Their jumpoff round was a let-down, as they had one of the first fences down, and thus really couldn't compete. Will see what I can do.
@ImmortalSynn I agree with the courses today emphazising technical capability, but I don't think that the horses today are getting heavier if that's what you mean? To me it seems that the horses today are getting lighter, though still emphasizing technique and capability. I don't think Jus de Pomme's lack of speed would ever be an advantage, his advantage was his fantastic jumping capability. He might never win a jump off, but at the big tournaments as he'll be the only horse with zero faults.

LOOK at this horse's form and style!
Had he lived, he would've EASILY been speakable within the same breath as Gem Twist & Milton... I have no doubt.
Thank you for posting this! I've been looking for it for years. Amazing horse.
No prob. Hard to believe it's been 18yrs!
I totally agree with you! Thankyou for uploading, It was great fun watching him, He just kept this neat tidy balenced rythm all the way round and the horse jumped with incredible power and care! Gahh this was great to watch, made it look like a schooling session at home! :D
Ohhh :3 I need to watch those :D Thank you so much! I cannot express how greatful I am :)

Thank you for posting this. What a phenomenal athlete- he jumped around that Olympic course like a hunter. does anyone know how he died?
Hi, is it possible to make some videos with Alexandra Liederman and Rochet M ? I can't find any at all on the net...

Thanks for sharing :-) Do you have Alexandra Liederman & Rochet M in the Olympics 2000 in Sydney?
Such a shame that this horse died so young and with only few offsprings.
Though he wasn't a fast horse he was still a truly amazing showjumper..
amazing i expecially love how this horse looks so proud of himself with everyone cheering, he looks like he's enjoying it so much, and i think he did! and q sorry but where where these held because the last jump looks like the Sydney Harbour Bridge with the Aussie flag inside it and Boomerangs, but that was the 2000 Olympics wasn't it, sorry but yeh where was it held?

Too sad that jus de pomme died a few weeks after that great success :/ He was extraordinary.
Welcome :)
APPLE JUICE WON THE OLYMPICS YEAAA
I can.
They had at least one clear round, but I'm not sure if I actually caught that on tape. Their jumpoff round was a let-down, as they had one of the first fences down, and thus really couldn't compete. Will see what I can do.
No. But I do have plenty of their rounds in both the 1996 Olympics and the 1998 World Equestrian Games.
...vereinbart, er war so toll! :'(
sorry does anyone know the name of that song?
Now THAT'S a victory round! Lol, Loved this horse...
What happened to him? =/
