Behind the Bit

Behind the Bit


I believe I can fly? I believe you can't equitate...

I'm told this video has been "done to death" on the bulletin boards, but I'd not seen it till a few days ago. This Youtube video has THOUSANDS of comments (maybe I just never paid attention).




I remember getting a show jumping book from the library as a teen -- the plates from the book are actually posted online -- and you'll find a discussion of a style of riding similar to this at plate 31. The theory was that by floating above your horse you didn't interfere with the jumping effort. The author of the book regarding this style with ill-concealed contempt.

Could this gentleman actually be trying to emulate this old style?
