Elisa is just a class act. Took full responsibility for the refusal and still praised her horse. Many could take that lesson. Great job 👏🏻

Good equestrians know it’s not always the horse fault.

This was an ENORMOUS accomplishment. I watched the LiveStream. Only 22 completed the course. 18 retired or were eliminated. And these were some of the the best horse/rider combinations in the world. P.S. The commentators during the dressage thought Lee was scored a point or two low.

I just love your attitude toward your horses. You appreciate them and are kind to them so they try super hard for you. It's so nice to see a pat instead of a whip for a refusal and words of reassurance. He really did his best for you. Those jumps were scary!

Lee didn't even look like he " refused" just too fast and bumped the jump.

To think I watched Johnny on the same course in Kentucky and now it’s Lee makes me so proud. You did absolutely amazing, and you never blamed him once, you’re an amazing rider and you inspire so many. Keep up the absolutely fantastic work!

Lee has totally stepped up his game recently! What a legend! I love how he's almost becoming your new Johnny :)

I was jump judging fence 4AB. So proud of how you and Lee handled the truly adverse conditions. You made absolutely the right decision to stop Riot at fence 4A after he hooked his front leg over one of the logs and refused two attempts. I don’t know if he misread it, slipped, or what happened initially, but we had several bad falls at 4B, and if you did not get a good jump in at 4A, you would’ve definitely had trouble at 4B and possibly would have gotten hurt. Several riders fell hard at 4B. So, from my perspective, it was an excellent decision to withdraw Riot at that point and try again another day before his confidence was shattered and possibly your leg! In all my years of jump judging at various three-day events and horse trials, I think these weather conditions were either the worst or tied with Rolex 2015 for the worst I have ever seen. By the end of the day, the volunteers were soaked to the skin and shivering with cold, which is nothing compared to what you must have felt. I have the upmost respect for you for performing under these conditions and doing it well.

When I write scenes for horse novels that involve a cross country course, I go back and watch these videos to see what a course of the appropriate level looks like. Gives me a better written course and it's fun to watch the video and write along. I love Lee. He's so amazing.

Awesome ride Elisa! I watched you live and was upset they didn’t catch more of your ride :( too bad about the weather, lee would have done amazing had the footing been better. He was so honest when he had that big slip!! What a great horse for the future :)

OMG! Look at the speed they’re going at. Have never seen it from this perspective before but wow, I have even more respect for the horses and the riders now. I love the way she’s motivating her horse too “we got this buddy”, “good job” 👍🏽

I loved watching this live, I wish it wasn't so slippy for Rye but you kept these boys safe the whole way. :)

I know I don’t know you and probably never meet you but I am so proud of how you rode in those conditions. I watched the live stream and after dressage you were 32nd I think... you’re now 16th!! That course was insane!! Well done to both your boys and you! 🥰🥰

You really inspired me to try Cross County and every time I see one of your videos I think that could be me one day. Though I still have a long way to go I hope that one day I can achieve my goal!! Thank you have the inspiration!

6:09 wow, then, double wow for coming back through and clearing that

Thank you for posting this so quickly - I missed it live. And congratulations for making it home - what a good boy he is!

You are such a good rider! Love watching these videos! Super entertaining and I think I actually learn a lot for what I can do with my horse.😁

He looks great for being 13 years in this video. Ive been watching since Lee was one of two horses she rode. I used to remember the other.

Hey, I was there as a vet assistant! I saw you guys, and I'm so glad you finished the course okay. The conditions were very slick. The number of horses who refused/slipped in front of us at the sunken road and Grand Slam was nuts.

Well, this was fast! Thank you so much! For filming and posting. I watched it all live and had my heart in throat a couple of times. I hope everyone is feeling allright. Very proud of you and the boys.

I liked watching this. Very good rider and I like the fact she didn't punish him for her mistake and his slipping. She took him back around and let him go through safely to build his confidence. And she's talking to and encouraging him when he needs it. She treats him like a team mate, not a tool. Love that. Even after the ride I like how she talks. They will be a great team.

I watched on the livestream! I'm so excited to see how it compares. What a wild ride today was. I'm emotionally exhausted just from watching the 4* livestream. So glad you and the boys are safe and sound.

Yasss you did so good today girl! It was definitely educational for the both of you!

Once again I've changed who is my favorite...but then again each time you put out a new video I change my mind and that horse in the video becomes my favorite. It is fun to watch each of your horses develop into great athletes under your training! Looking forward to the next show. You are amazing! Wishing you safe trips always!

You’re such an amazing rider wow. The way you handled such scary situations and distances so well is insane, I hope to be like you one day.

That was an awesome ride over a very tough course... I loved seeing this as with the live feed we didn’t get to see all the good and you both did great❤️. He learned a lot!

What an amazing ride. I Truly have tears. The stamina of the horse and the trust between the two of you is unbelievable. I’ve never seen an event like this. I just ran across this video, I was watching my little niece ride her horse Petrone in barrels. The was so incredible! Thank you!

What a wild ride. Felt like I was there with y’all. Those were some interesting jumps. Eventing is something else. Much more stimulating than show jumping.

Yall did amazing! You treat him with so much kindness!

This honestly was an amazing prospective to see what your seeing and the partnership you have! This was amazing! The team effort was golden! I really appreciate this at such a high level competition! You can see his expression toward each jump!

My goodness !!!! What a round , at first I thought I would switch it off as camera angle was wrong but it turned out to be your most educational video ever !!! Bloody well done and well sat , you are a real inspiration , I feel proud of you both xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

You rider are lucky to ride different horses everyday , the thrill of their energy and their spirits is beyond, this beautiful beast. And take your breath away the joy you guys feel from a horse.

These events amaze me, so much to remember and the trust has to be spot on. He came back great, fantastic ride.

Well done to you both! Such a lovely run, you are so amazing with your horses and they try their hardest for you

Amazing team and beautiful ride! I appreciated the recognition of what happened at the refusal and communicating that verbally and to the horse. A lot of respect!

He's awesome, and you guys make a great team!!! He slid into that one fence, but he turned right around and did it. He did so good given how treacherous the footing was, and how difficult the course was. I'm really looking forward to seeing everything you guys do in future!!

Definitely a very difficult course! Regardless of the refusal you where absolutely amazing and I look up to you so so much. your my favorite eventer❤️

brilliantly recovered from both at that drop down to the three. heart was in my mouth. looked like a tough but rewarding ride!!

What a great recovery and otherwise amazing round! You’re such an incredible rider!

Lovely ride, ears forward and he’s listening so well. Good job ❤️

I am not big into eventing due to some of the stuff I have witnessed horses going through. However, you are one of the few eventers I feel actually care for the horses and genuinely learns from your mistakes. Thank you for not getting mad at Lee when he refused. It says so much about your character because I have seen many eventer just start whipping their horse when they refuse. Then to hear you say it was your fault, apologize and give him a good pat... damn I nearly cried tears of joy.

What an amazing team. The horse is amazing and the rider is excellent. Thanks for a wonderful video.

Hell yeah! Ridden like a fighter! Way to go both of you!!

So cool to watch, it looked so wet out there! Loved all the support and and praise you gave him throughout the course ❤️

Wow! That was fantastic thanks for the ride! Very thrilling!

I find these videos so helpful for counting strides. i'm a beginner, I've barely cantered, but I am super excited to (eventually) get to do jumps like this, after a lot lot lot of practice.

Saw the live stream and he'd of gone without sliding, such an angel getting you over those corners!

Omg thanks for the ride, love the rapport you have with your horse 🙂👏

Wow. What a ride... I'm so glad you're both okay! Well done!

What an amazing ride!! Lee is such a good boy, cane into that one humped to fast went eoah no thanks turned around and he did it perfectly keep up the good work!!

Watching this is just so amazing! I love it so much!

That course looked enormous. I can’t imagine how slick and chewed up it was!

I love these videos, so calming

From the second fence onwards I was really worried. This looked extremely difficult and there was a lot of power steering going on!! Loved hearing the crowd cheering you on. I think of Lee jumping upright barrels in a halter, you are a freaking great couple and love your communication. Pity about Rye and looking forward to your analysis. Good luck in the jumping 🍀
