This is a great example of cutting. Sadly its a promo for a stallion so only the first 25 seconds are cutting...the rest is just clips of the horse.

Rolex Equestrian Commercial
The Rolex is one of the biggest Combined Training events so I thought I would put up this clip of the commercial. The Rolex will be April 27 for 2008.
To Be An Equestrian
I love this video because it captures all the elements it takes to succeed in any sport. It also give good examples of all three events of combined training (there are a few clips that are not combined training at the beginning, but it is still cool). Combined training is like a triathlon for horses. Dressage demonstrates the accuracy and the ability of the rider to have complete control while appearing to use little effort to complete the pattern. Cross-Country jumping shows the horse"s stamina. This event can be several miles long with multiple fixed obstacle to jump over.... including water, fences, and brush. The stadium jumping shows the ability of the horse to make tight turns and clear jumps at high speeds.
Eventing is so much fun, but it requires hard work and determination. this is why it is an Olympic sport.
