ShowBiz Feature


Usually we just walk away with different opinions. Occasionally a photographer catches something unusual and at the Del Mar International Horse Show the photographer from Captured Moments did just that. In the $31,000 ShowBiz Magazine Welcome


T


he show ring is a place where things happen fast, sometimes so fast we stand there looking as each other saying, “What the heck was that, what happened?”


Class on Thursday, Karl Cook had one of the WOW jumps. Riding his new horse JonKheer Z, his take off point to the triple bar was a bit long, to say the least. As he became air born, everyone watching had one of those “What the heck happened moments” but the class went on. Captured Moments caught a series of pictures that


are pretty astounding. The first one is just as he gets air born, the next one shows the horse drawing up all four of his legs in tight formation and its obvious he is going down, the third one depicts the moment when the horse says “OH DEAR” and kicks it all into action as he reaches and begins to flip up his back end, and the fourth one shows him kick his tosh into the air and clears the jump…he left it up. All the way through it is clear that Karl is staying in the middle of him and keeping out of his way. There is an old saying, “Betwixt


the stirrup and the ground, mercy I asked and mercy I found.” YEP!!!


Karl Cook and JonKheer Z with a remarkable save.
