Very brave horse, and rider, can you imagine trying to do this these days,

Diving horse
 
Do you know, I suggested this as a career for a young stallion that didn't have...er...much covering success....but the stud owner wasn't pleased...

Yes - loved the random jump!
They sounded really pleased that the pony had jumped the little jump!
Horses love to surprise you don't they!
 
honeypots interested why you like the QH filly one better than the others?
Don't like the non ridden one-as suspect horse was being 'urged' from behind but could see the ridden one, not sure either are really fair on the horses tbh.
 
Saw a film with a diving horse in. Black and white oldie one. Think someone took a flash picture just as the horse leapt off the bridge, it hesitated. Summersaulted and landed ontop of the rider who was blinded. Anyone remember seeing that one?
 
i remembre that one - watched it as a kid altough probably a remake as it was in colour. girl got blinded but then sevretly retrained so she could still do it. had to jump on the horse as it cnateredpast and then it leapt from the tower. always wandered if it was based on a true story
 
Wasn't there a big scandal about these diving horses and donkeys a while back? Can't remember the details but I don't think they are "willing" participants.

I can remember a film about horse divers, forget the name though!

I remember watching this film years ago, a disney type movie. It had a girl in it who went blind
 
The film was called 'Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken' and it is based on a true story.

The second clip of the chestnut horse, the Theme Parks website has a big section on the welfare of the horse, who allegedly isn't pushed into it in any way - they say that they just shake a bucket of food from the other side and he does it of his own accord!
