Do you think this is jumpable?

This is our hacking route after the storm yesterday. Jumpable? Approach at trot or canter?

ETA. I am joking about jumping it.

Wow that’s some damage! How has that even happened!?

 

[Roxylola]

Wow! I'm pretty sure theres going to be ditch monsters in there so no matter what pace that ditch will forever be an portal to horse hell

In the first pic on the right it falls down to a very overgrown stream. A few months ago there was a slip and a small amount fell away. Rather than fixing they put 4 cones out and left it. The road then turned to river with all the rain and this is the result.

 

[splashgirl45]

well i wouldnt at any pace, looks too dangerous to me

 

[Evie91]

I’d say not jump able- looks like tarmac both sides so I’d worry horse would slip.
Is it council owner? Contact them to see when it’s likely to be fixed

This was it before the worst of the storm hit.

By the way I was saying if it was jumpable as a joke. There is no way I am going anywhere near it!! Meant as light hearted post.

I’d approach that in a steaming trot and stick to the blue pipe side the landing looks better ??

On the way out? Definitely not. On the way HOME? I'm guessing he'd give it a good shot ?

you know like in films where people jump from cliff edge to cliff edge, that.

if you swing your arms hard enough you might just make it!

Council owned but a wee quiet country road so very low down their list. Annoying thing is it goes to a fair bit of decent hacking. The other way round you skirt a private school and they have now said due to COVID we can’t ride through and put up gates. So means very little hacking now. Really hoping they fix it quickly.

 

[Cortez]

Jumpable? Yes, absolutely. But you'd need a proper, honest horse that you trusted, and he trusted you, to do it on the asphalt.

 

[Elf On A Shelf]

If in doubt just keep kicking!

 

[Fleece Navidad]

If in doubt just keep kicking!

And grab the Jesus strap!

 

[ElleSkywalkingintheair]

Approach at a spanking gallop with eyes firmly closed I'd say ?

Seriously that is shocking looking at before and after pics! Take it the road has been securely closed? Could be a bit of a shock to anyone ignoring a few cones and zipping down there anyway ?

 

[Evie91]

Glad you edited. TBF I thought you were serious!!!

 

[Baywonder]

And grab the Jesus strap!

And don't forget to shut your eyes!

 

[Elf On A Shelf]

And don't forget to shut your eyes!

But pull the smoked goggles down first so no one can see the fact that your eyes are closed ??

 

[doodle]

Hehe.

Right, tips taken on board, if you don’t hear from me again I am in the bottom of the hole.

Again I am joking.

I actually have no idea how they have closed it off as not gone near.

 

[LouisCat]

Holy moly, that's a big hole!

 

[Christmascinnamoncookie]

Bugger! ?

 

[Mule]

I can imagine facing the beast in to that. He wouldn't be long depositing me in to it!

Ooh, thats not good, is it ?

 

[ForeverBroke_]

I would walk to the edge, give the 'right boy, we can do this,' speech before backing up a fair distance, staring at it menacingly while steed stomps his foot to be equally intimidating - then CHARGE!!!

 

[MissTyc]

My barefoot hunting cob would probably pop over it with the total lack of respect he gives anything that I consider completely terrifying and impossible. He's like the hero in movies who jumps across a street between two sky scrapers, lands badly, almost falls 100 floors to his death, drags himself up and then then shrugs and says "yeah easy" and isn't traumatised forever.

My mare, on the other hand, would see it, panic, accidentally spook forwards and fall in. She has an odd habit of spooking towards the things she's afraid of.

 

[TinseLeneHorse]

Put a fallen tree trunk over it and call it a trakehner ?

 

[Archangel]

If there was free cake on the other side then absolutely yes.
