    Does anyone else see some of Murphy Himself in Nicola Wilson’s Opposition Buzz? They aren’t exactly similar but both horses are in a different league when it comes to xc, I don’t think there is a horse as good as Buzz doing the tracks right now. . . and like MH he would probably bounce everything possible!!

    lol you dik!! a horse has a mind of it own you know!! my horse is an eventer and this is exactly what we do!! if he doesn’t wanna do somthing then he refuses point blank so i dnt push him!! but more often than not he jumps things first time with out a question!!!! you know fack all about eventing and by the sounds of it fuck all about horses aswel… so fuck you prick!!

    @horseA123 hahaha what do you think makes murphy himself jump when he’s got 3 feet of reins to do whatever he wants with? he does it because he wants to

  10. TBsPlease says:

    I don’t think anyone could have possibly ridden those questions better & more masterfully than Ginny did. A class rider all the way!

    what event was this? it looked a bit like ledyard, but i couldn’t tell.

  17. PnkPantherxEventr says:

    @horseA123 i love how clueless you are. but its all good.

    horses arent pets. they are bred to do a job and event horses job is to event. if the sport didnt exsist neither would the horses.

  19. rustbugs4ever says:

    I once watch a three day event on crosscountry and a person broke his stirrup and still finished the hole corse with no faults!! XD Amazing!!!

  20. horseA123 says:

    The more I study eventing, the more I know it is too much to ask of our horses. If we love them and they are our pets first, this so-called sport is so wrong. It is like a 4 year old child standing at the top of a hill in San Francisco straddling his tricycle – yep, it looks fun. They know about the same amount as the horse. Of course they’ll do it if you ask, but they shouldn’t…

  21. RUSALOSHKA says:

    Damn! Crosscountry=total insane trust.

    And these guys have THE skill and THE power and strength! lord i wanna be a cross country rider! i know one thing, i’ll fall off by random, XD

  22. ImmortalSynn says:

    Indeed, he was amazing… with multiple riders too, which detailed his talent.

  23. Agilitypoodle385 says:

    WOW… O.O that Murphy Himself horse is Bloody Fucking amazing… O.O OMG OMG OMG…. Love the vid btw :D x

  24. ImmortalSynn says:

    Nah, I appreciate the admiration for them… I found (the way) eventing (was) to be much more interesting back then than it is now.

    It’s glorious to see Murphy Himself in action.

    The quotation from Ginny was:

    “If Priceless were human, he would have made a good sergeant major. He’d be butch, short, muscular and aggressive. Night Cap is much more the officer type: incredibly polite, very good-looking and far more sensitive than his bossy stable companion.”

    Forgive my advanced senility. I’d run Crafty and Night Cap together…
