5 foot ???
im not sure its hard to say i was just trying to picture myself next to it and a barrel is up to my chest im 5"4,im prob totally wrong lol lol

 

[Hemirjtm]

I was thinking 1.40m (which is 4ft6/9??!!)...so would sound about right!!

 

[jesterfaerie]

Oo sounds like my msn guess of 1.40 may be close to being right *fingers crossed*

 

[LauraBR]

I'd guess 3ft6-8

 

[SummerStorm]

I don't think it's as big as that... I think it's a fair bit off 4', the barrels at about 3'3" ish max.

Could be wrong but I don't think it's massive...

 

[Hemirjtm]

maybe it's 1.20 - but it's looks a lot bigger than what i've jumped on Hemir!!!

I reckon its about 30cm above the barrels

 

[dieseldog]

I would say about 3'9 - the barrells are 3'3

 

[soph21]

why is the horse so cheap? is it nuts or something??!!!
nice looking horse though

 

[Hemirjtm]

have no idea why it's so cheap!!!

 

[kerilli]

a barrel's about 3 foot, so i'd say 3'6" for the total jump including the back bar would be about right.

well they dont really have a proper reason for selling it do they.... Its probably difficult to ride, and even though the jump is quite big, it isnt huge for a 16.2 & its technique is very poor! Its also 13 with no record, so unlikely to do particularly well, its head & neck also look quite big against her frame...

 

[Moggy in Manolos]

If the barrels are about 3'3 i would say the next bar in that narrow spread type jump is about 4ft

It wont hack out on it's own according to the description.

I'd say the jump is about 3'9". The barrels are 3'3". It is very cheap though. It's head and neck look big in the picture but I think thats the angle it's taken at, it's not a very neat jumper though and it doesn't bascule much over the fences from the looks of it. I'd be surprised if it had done that much jumping tbh, at a decent level, anyway.

The barrel is 3ft 6" or 1.10m, so if there is a pole on top of those wings behind it, thats heading for 3ft 9" / 4ft ish. Its kind of hard to see if there's a back pole there or not, as its a crap picture.

There are barrel jump cups on top of a 3ft oil barrel (which is 3ft 3" (1m) with a flat pole on top)

I have them at home and have measured recently as had to throw myself round a 3ft 6" track.

Still don't think I can do a newcomers yet

 

[wishfulthinking]

Think the back bar would be approx 4 foot. Not an attractive picture to choose for an advert though!
