Simply doesn't look possible...

Is it just me or does number 5 on here simply not look possible to jump cleanly!

Now I consider myself a pretty confident rider but a couple of these make me feel quite sick! I certainly wouldn't be going over, especially that ditch at Badminton; always thought it looked nasty!

No.5 is actually more impossible looking than it really is. It is a pair of soft hedges so if a horse make a hideous mistake he will get through it - having given himself and the jockey a bit of a heart stopping moment. I think this fence is on Merano Race Course in Northern Italy (there is a Forst Beer advertising board at the side of the photo - Forst Beers are made in Merano). However this double hedge fence crops up on many Italian and French courses.
