[RC] The winning horse presented to the crowds - Flora Hillman

They have just brought the winning horse "Hungares" into the ring, lead by another rider on this  HUGE warmblood (which makes Hungares look like a tiny pony!)  and they are parading him around the ring to the applause of the crowd. Don't see Miguel, though.
 
Here comes the other top five horses, following behind, lead and surrounded by their riders (crew)??  and....
 
.... now we cut to a beer commercial put to "Pirates of the Caribbean" music (which they've been playing non-stop).  And the commercial has the video of Miguel coming into the finish, all alone, riding in a hand gallop, riding into the stadium, throwing his hat in the air with joy, pointing his finger skyward with a "YES!!!", him off and walking next to his horse, his whole face in tears and more tears as he cries.  His horse looks FABULOUS -- head up and bright eyes. Miguel is a study of emotion.  Makes one want to cry right along with him.
 
What great camera work! What a handsome guy!!  What a lovely, powerful horse.
