My favorite thing about this video is the fact that you can tell that the horse is NOT an easy ride. Its one thing to ride a made horse (no show horse is nessacarily easy) and do really well, but being able to take a horse like that through a couse like that truly defines a great rider :)

Personally, being a jumper and all, this shocked me. I watched it one more time to make sure I was really watching this. I don't worship this guy by any means but that was incredible. Probably by far the best riding I've seen. This guy definitely deserved to win something considering he even stayed on.

In spite of being such a handful, George always gives this horse a full release over the fence. His handling of the horse through the triple was excellent.

This horse is totally crazy, still George's legs are perfect. He's sooo good. P.s. who anyone that talks about the chair seat: he can't do otherwise with this type of horse. In showjumping we have forward position and short stirrups, we can't have the perfect line you could have in dressage!

Hi Vee? I have a 3 y.o. show jumping bred filly, next year ( 2020 ) a four year old under saddle. Lightly jumped 90 CO to 1 metre. She " Can Jump " and Carefully too. That's what show jumping is about. Carefulness. Whether the jumps 1 metre or 1.60 m. Happy St. Patrick's Day on the 17 th ( today is 11 th March '19 ).

Calm down people. It's a dude who rides horses... not a god. There will always be questioning by armchair quarterbacks (who could of course NEVER do better), in every sport! Take a chill, breathe, it's all good. :) As for the video: that horse looks extremely hard to control, and has an odd/flat jump. The fact that they broke the timers with only two down, is a testament to the rider's skill. I doubt many others would have even been able to get that kind of horse around, much less finish solidly.

George is obviously an amazing rider, but he isn't a god. People need to stop worshiping him as if he is the best thing to ever touch the back of a horse because he really is not. I'm not trying to critique him or downplay his riding abilities, but I have seen better riders that don't get as much publicity as George does.

If you watch this many times as I have you can clearly see this horse is a super star. She takes off from an impossible distance most horses would 3 legged crow hop to the second to last fence and she just sails. This horse has UNBELIEVABLE hind end form. She is cat like behind and kicks out. This is an astonishingly talented horse. Other than Touch of Class, and my own mares and one I have ridden for a trainer who holds the high jump record in shouts America/ this is my favorite mare. Other than touch of class all my favorite mates are grey. This mare is no exception and yet she is the greatest exception. This is a rocket ship of a horse. Could jump anything from any spot no problem.

okay... yes that horse looks hard to handle and kinda grouchy. but maybe the horse was having a bad day (yes even horses have bad days ) and the way George rode him is debatable but just remember this was awhile ago so he has had time to learn and grow as a rider. All riders have had to start somewhere and move up from there, just keep that in mind :)

This horse doesn't look like he has been taught to go round and supple. It can jump, no double about springs in the feet, but this horse needed to know a baseline of roundness and submission from some Dressage training. Sometimes jumpers put the jumps away for a few months and get the basics improved. Impressive though that he could stay on this horse, but still I don't like to see the horse so helter --skelter running around the course. Too dangerous.

You're from Germany and you're going to talk about upper body? So he doesn't have great eq OVER BIG ASS FENCES but at least he is off his horses back and can ride through his legs and doesn't drive his ass into the horses back the entire time. The horse may have been hollow but at least it was tude and excitement, not from a rider trying to break the horse's back and force his head into his chest.

Michael Matz was given the ride by the group that owned her. George bought her but she became too valuable for one owner so he sold half. Then the rest but still rode her. They decided to try someone else. He mentions in his book that Michael had good luck with her.

Their faces haha =D They showed me videos/clinics he gave and I was like "I mean, he's not bad, but good?!" I shouldn't have said that ^^ I mean I wish I had his quiet legs! but his upper body :/ I think there are much better riders out there, and when I showed them some, it kinda opened their eyes. He's not bad, but he's not a god either:P

@cocomango5189 If no one cares then why did you reply to my comment? Haha. Anyway, I wasn't trying to bash George Morris. I have immense respect for him as horseman and quite frequently watch videos of his clinics. But I find him to be a quieter rider now. Possibly because of his older age, or possibly because the horses of today are calmer than the TB's of before. Who knows? I just don't think this video gives his older riding justice.
