The 1995 USET Festival of Champions Jumpoff: where America's greatest showjumpers face off against each other, in this $100000 challenge from back in the day. The purpose of posting this video is to detail the differences between 1990s-style USA courses, that tended to put more emphasis on speed+agility (catering to the Thoroughbred type), versus the 2000s-type, which feature more emphasis on scope+technical questions (catering to warmbloods). Featured, by order of go: OLISCO - Michael Matz LAND OF KINGS (LENZ) - Margie Goldstein (Engle) FOR THE MOMENT - Lisa Jacquin QUANTUM LEAP - Debbie Dolan Sweeney RHUM IV - Michael Matz LACOSTA - Margie Goldstein (Engle) MONT CENIS - Patty Stovel I was totally rooting for LaCosta here, but Rhum's incredible win was certainly not without merit! To see the first-round jumping course of this competition, click the following link, for Mont Cenis' beautiful clear round: www.youtube.com Worth noting that For The Moment was 21yrs-old during this competition, and is also now inducted into the Showjumping Hall of Fame as the oldest horse ever to win a grand prix showjumping competition! As always, don't forget to check out the crazily-cute baby of the barn: www.youtube.com
