Show Jumping at the 1976 Olympic Games in Bromont
One of Rocky Mountain Show Jumping’s great judges and good friend Phillip Rozon came across some rare footage from the 1976 Olympic Games in Bromont. The footage is from the Individual & Team Show Jumping. RMSJ TV is pleased to upload the footage to share with all equestrian fans.
wow – the hearts of those horses and riders are amazing – if not slightly crazy!!
Super thanks for sharing this historic video! It’s a fantastic find!!!
Awesome! Thank you for posting this!
this is amazing . ! these jumps are huggee . especially tht oxer in the triplee . ! they jumped much higher then and it looks alot more dangerous then haha . im glad they changed it to be safer thoo . ! lmaoo .
wow. yeehaw.
It’s interesting to see how the horse “type” has changed so much in show jumping from more Thoroughbred-types to big warmbloods.
is it me or were they more aggressive riders? =D
these horses are ‘fighting with their heads’ for a reason… absolutely bonkers course thoughh
i feel like that the jumps were more diffucult that it is now
Long live the thoroughbred!! One of the best breeds out there
Those fences look to be about 5 foot. I think that this shows how training has evolved in 30 years. Amazing that these horses went X-C the day before and still have this energy. Must be the TB.
@TheHickstead Seems like they ride faster as well.
