The Harv archive: The lost jumping footage resurfaces
It's 1998. Harv is 12, and apparently I'm immortal. For all my talk about riding safety, this video shows I once was one of the idiots I now whine about. No. Freaking. Helmet. What was wrong with me??
And over fences no less. Harv jumps capably despite being handicapped by a dressage saddle . This was a beautiful fall day.
lol. . dont you know the rule? When you aren't wearing a helmet one of two things are going to happen 1. you are going to take a nosedive 2. someone is going to grab a camera
wow, you (and harv) make jumping look EASY! it's not though, i know it's not!
you make it look fun! hey, stop that. i don't want to do it - too dangerous! no more fun jumping vids please. you're tempting me to make life with horses even more risky.
Ah, Yes. We all do it at some point. I forgot mine once, as a kid and my mother came screaming out of nowhere with my helmet, so I learned NEVER to forget it ever again, lol. At least you do now :)

btw. . how long have you had Harv?
I bought him when he was 10, in Chapel Hill NC, in 1997. Thanks for asking!
ReplyDeleteWe were all idiots without helmets at some point.
ReplyDeleteThe smart ones learned to wear a helmet *without* doing a dirt-check.
Maybe you are one of those?
Sigh. I wasn't. Just lucky.
