The Rolex Competition is on right now! I always love watching... Is anyone esle watching it right now? It's on NBC. The Cross Country is on right now... the most exciting event! One of the jumps goes straight into the water; it's a 6'3" drop, and they said the riders feel like they're jumping out of a second-story window! :eek: They also said that the horses don't see the water until they're in midair...

Some years ago I went to the Rolex. My brother was competing and won in his group.

It was such fun to see, especially knowing a rider! (He did the triple event.)

Aw, I feel like I'm jumping ground poles compared to those guys :o The highest I've ever jumped is 3 feet 3 inches. These people are jumping 5 to 6 feet! :eek:
