Bloomin' heck, what a jump!

Very big jump for a little guy. Personally I do not like push my horses that much, especially without boots, he looked like it was very strenuous on his knee joints. But at the same time I know very well that horses are quite capable of pulling out of something that they do not want to jump :) Quite impressive, if not a little scary.
 
Pretty impressive yeah but I hope they don't jump him at that high often! I cringed when he landed, worrying about his legs! Some people can be a bit stupid :rolleyes:

Don't they just, a friend of mine has a lot of mules come through her place and I've seen them take on a 5' electric fence from a standstill just because the grass was greener on the other side! Heck of a pop in them haven't they?:)

As for the pony, he didn't look too stressed out about loose jumping, in fact I half expected to see him sail over the arena fence as well.
 
horses skeletons are meant to be jumping, but he is a little corker!!
knowing how fragile the pedal bone is i am quite skeptical of jumping anywhere other than an well cushioned arena! xx
 
One word ...... stupid And dangerous jumping such a small pony on hights like that , I'm very supriced it got away with all 4 legs
 
That video isn't neccessary. Jump the pony to a suitable height fine, but that is OTT.
Stroller was 14.2hh, but he was very horse like and although the jumps were big, he managed without problems. This pony jumping that height is way out of proportion and that is what is wrong.
 
I am in love with Buckey the mule. He so totally wants to jump those things. I love the way he trys to tank his handler towards the jump. what a little dude. I had no idea mules could do this. People who know, what is it about them which means they get vertical lift off?
 
What a fantastic pop on the little guy, but would it really of taken that much longer to put boots on him.
Hope they dont jump him like that too often as he does not look very old.
Sod being on his back when he jumps like that

I can't see what the big differnce is to a horse jumping 7 ft over a wall, with the added weight of a rider,, it looked like a nice easy jump to me.
