A video about the week I spent at Mullingar Equestrian Center in july 2006. It was SO cool, I LOVED IT and I’m going back this year for two weeks !! (I’m leaving in two weeks btw !) This is the second version of this video, I fixed the subtitles, corrected some mistakes…and added some photos of the ponies JUMPING !! (especially Can Do and Levy)! Do not miss it ! Please comment ^^
this is just amazing. he jumps the jumps like he is jumping crossrails!
My fother pony are from John Withaker
questo cavallo è spettacolare *-*
@spottiedotcom connemara are amaizng jumping horses and ponies although you may not think it ,
Who cares of his blood? Horses need more than good blood to be so amazing like him. It´s a pity he was a gelding, if he was a stallion I would love to see one of his foals.
Well, Milton is newborn, and his name is Levisto Z. Another white german show jumping horse with a really amazing character. x3
@subimedia Connemara? are u havin a laf?
Milton, Simply the best ♥
wow!
I really love him he is soo beautiful definatly the worlds greatedt show jumper it is so sad that he died =[ xxxx I <3 You Milton!! xx
Milton was a Trakehner (German) gelding.show jumping stallion the Dutch bred Marius out of an English mare Aston Answer (by Any Questions), who had competed at Grade A national level and who herself was out of a show jumping mare Pennywort (1970 Foxhunter Champion) by Top Walk.
he was bred to jump and wond over 1 million dollars in his career
Such a gorgeous horse and amazing jumper
OMG! No helmet buckle!! Just pop it on like a CAP!
breeding doesnt matter, all you need is a passion for jumping in their blood, something that runs stronger than life it’s self.
<33
Milton… YOU ARE A THE BEST HORSE!:´( Too bad you were us you
MISS YOU!all people!
Le cheval est … plus que magnifique !!
i like milton
For a regular sized horse, he has an AWESOMELY muscled legs!
(..& I used 2 have pictures of Marius & Caroline Bradley stuck 2 my bedroom wall, over the horse wallpaper.. the days!) Thanx 4 the info. & the link.. & taking me back – much appreciated, altho a little scary when I realise how many great people & horses have passed away & how time’s shifting on!! R.I.P. all
Yes – can c the Anglo Arab in the neck arch & the motion now u mention it. Many yrs ago i used 2 ride a 3/4 Arab & altho he was the clumsiest horse in walk & trot i’ve ever ridden, once he moved up a gear into canter & beyond, he simply floated & his balance just found its equilibrium. He was a good jumper 2, altho he was only a pony. I remember Marius aswell… just! That was back in the day when they showed showjumping on terestrial T.V. & it was an arena 4 big sponsorship..
un super cheval ! ♥
@subimedia – Breeding – look at the All Breed link in description (it’s a great site for breeding info) – you will see Milton has Anglo Arab blood and a good bit of Thoroughbred blood (inc. top sires that can be found in jumpers THE TETRARCH (“spotted wonder”) and PHALARIS, on his Dam side. Also Miton’s Dam was a Grade A jumper and his Grand Dam won the Foxhunter Final. Milton’s sire Marius was an international winner with Caroline Bradley r.i.p.
Monstanta as far as I rem. reading or hearing was 16.1 hh – Michael’s horse, silver medal
@subimedia – sport horse enthusiast’s including horseracing, should hear that info (height) from the rider, trainer or owner – I’d guess Milton was 16.2 or 16.3 hh (I dont think he was 17.0)
Think he’s a Connemara/ thoroughbred/ Irish draught cross – f. knows how the mix was so perfect – maybe the irish draft n the Conemara were mixed with the other half thoroughbred 2 heat it up! n a perfect balance of fine temperament, athlete & durability were created!! He’s amazing
He seems so lovable 2 n i remember that his real owners who always kept him, really loved him beyond all the money offered n didn’t want him 2 fly 2 the Olympics cos they didn’t want him 2 fly X
this ec (mullingar ec) was the farest place ive been; Slovenija here
