[.:Spork:.]

[zola is gr8]

thanx guys thats the one!!!!!!

[Parisexxx]

Thats miles 2 high! The horse doesnt seem to be enjoying it

:(

[tarkia]

Wow thanks for getting that video, a lot smoother than the one I had except mine was just an animated gif image of lots of people took of it :D

[charlotte+jill!]

No efence Parise but with a jump that height if the horse wasnt happy it wouldnt do it, same with a 2foot fence, doesnt matter the height if the horse isnt happy or is in pain it wouldnt do it.

I think its an amazing video, what a horse :D

[.:Spork:.]

you know that didnt make n e sence but o well, i think jumping 2 that height is cruel, its ok like 3 ft and stuff but o well thats my opionon bye :)

[*toHorse&Away*]

So glad I looked at this thread.
What a fantastic horse (and rider!) That is totally magnificent.
Don't know how on earth they did it. Never seen anything like it. :eek:

[manfa1]

thats great ive jumped 5 ft thats about enough for me another 3 ft must seem like forever what an amazing horse and brave rider no maybe crazy rider

[asif]

omg i cant believe the horse didnt refuse
?

[mustang fan]

wow!!! thats quite shocking!!!! I cant belive the horse jumped it!!! :eek:

[*Rachel_George*]

omg i cant believe the horse didnt refuse

Probably because he was enjoying his work :o I use to ride a horse who was jump jumps longer and higher (but smoothly) and tuck his legs up loads, he enjoyed it soo much he wanted to do it better as it was small....grrr never forget the time he took me over the wrong jump and turned out to me a 3ft6 spread with filler in the middle...grrr 13.1hh devil I called him

xxxxx

[Kitsune]

Wow...

Seriously, that's amazing :eek:

[Harleyhorse]

All I can say is WOW :eek: :eek: :eek: Man what a good horse!

[mister jones]

:eek: wow! well tthat is impressive! :eek:

[asif]

[ Probably because he was enjoying his work :o ]


at that height *gosh* one happy horse :(

ASIF

[Talou]

Yeah i agree on the point that if the horse wasn't happy he would definately refuse to jump...but doesn't this put a huge strain on his legs on the landing?? He kind of looked like he was going to fall over... :(

[Parisexxx]

the horse looks young too. Miles too high in my opinion. No wonder the horse didnt refuse the way the man was beating him over the jump with his whip.

Not my cup of tea :(

[Cheeky]

Oh my gawd .. omg omg omg!!!!!

Shoot I was nearly killing myself - It looked like the horses knees were about to give way ... omg .. -plays the movie again- holey gawd ... shoot thats amazin! 8 ft ?? really?? oh ... wow!! At least the horse was enjoying it hehe ...

[Alice25]

:eek: :eek: :eek: That is one big jump!! I was looking around on the site, and you can see the full story in video here:

http://homepage.mac.com/john.brian/Living-with-Horses/iMovieTheater43.html

It takes ages to load though!! I brought a book in here and read it while I waited :) It's worth it though, it shows the jump in slow motion and makes it look even bigger!!

Couldn't see the other video but saw this and was amazed!!!! :eek:
This was 8ft 2inch :eek:

God help the guy on it!!

[fhchik06]

Personally, I think it comes down to trust and willingness... if your horse really trusts you, there's no limit to what it will do for you.

[horseygal90]

One thing - That horse can really fly!

[Luv 2 Trot]

That rediculous!!!! OMG, that is so screwed up, it seems nearly impossible!!! Geez, im speechless.

[pedilia]

omg :eek: :eek: :eek:

[Sámie]

OMG thats well bad! That looked like ts legs were about to snap!

[daisy bear]

OMG :eek: :eek: :eek: !!! can that horse fly or somthing !!!!??!! 8ft!! WOW im speechless!

[griffytayherb]

ha ha... thoroughbreds rock!

[michelle c]

definatley not my cup of tea!!!!!!!! :mad: if the horse trusted the man, why did he feel the need to belt it just before the jump ( it looked like it was going to do the jump any way). imo horses shouldnt be made to jump that high because they might be able to do it (or not in some cases) but they are putting trust in their rider to get them over the fence, and a horses confidence can be knocked tremendusly, not to mention the danger of damage that can happen to the horse or rider!!!! and before anyone says, i know that can happen in jumping competitions but there is more danger jumping something that high!!!! :mad:

[cvb]

you have seen the date at the beginning haven't you ?? 1949....

[tb_rider]

that jump was awsome! i can't belive that horse can jump so high!

[Irish_DQ]

whoa, thats humongous. What a fantastic horse! I'd love to have the skill (and bravery!) of that rider too lol :eek:

[Horseswillrule1]

I think it was fairly creul and unessacary (sorry for the bad spelling). That horse is amazing though. Not to happy with the rider....

[sarshapebbles]

now thats high, my mum said that when she was young that with her horse (Bay) she would jump 5foot bareback (no whip :) ) but now thats high 8foot ................ im not happy about the rider but... anyone know the age or high or breed??


sarsha

[Horseswillrule1]

In the long version it tells you that the horse is 16hh, 16 years old and thoroughbred...

[rocketman]

It is my understanding that the jump was 8' 2 and 1/4 inches.

And nobody can "make" a horse jump that high. The horse did it willingly.

[kedwards]

I saw that video a long time ago and was amazed, but just watched the last couple of strides frame by frame. Watching what the horse does to prepare for the jump is almost as amazing as the jump itself. In even the penultimate stride, he has his hind legs all the way under his withers, his shoulders up, and his front legs almost propped out in front, as he changes the direction of energy from that big, gallopy stride to the enormously collected one he needs to jump straight up in the air.

[PunkRockPony]

Wow! :eek: thats one BIG jump!!!! and one WILLING horse!!! :D

[BeachRiding]

Wow! God that was amazing! Watching the 8 min film, by the end I was actually crying! :o Gosh that horse, just amazing...

[sararulz]

Hi,
I tried watching the video but then it told me i have to download quicktime... anyway I downloaded it but I still can't see the video... :(

It just shows me a broken quicktime sign...:confused:

What do I do??

[joosie]

Just a bit of trivia -

The current Puissance world record, held by Franke Sloothaak, is 7 ft 10 ins - that's only 4ins smaller than this jump.

[L34NN3]

I couldn't view that video...

Was it the same as this one. Recorded at 8 foot 2!!

http://www.ultimatehorsesite.com/images_info/worldrecordjump.gif

[Talou]

L34NN3- Yes, that is the same jump. :)

[Tink!]

like cvb has said it was done in 1949!! they had diferent methods back tehn!
If the horse really didn't want to jump it, he wouldn't.
Why are you moaning about him whiping the hrose before the jump, yep ok it seems unessicary but its just a ack up, it wasn't done out of cruelty! :rolleyes:

[yazminopalomino]

it says sum were that the worlds largest jump was 8 f
im stupid lol do you know how high in metres haha i had a sheet that converts these but i lost it !typical :) could any one tell me please!!!

[macinac]

That horse is incredible. ]

[santana]

im stupid lol do you know how high in metres haha i had a sheet that converts these but i lost it !typical :) could any one tell me please!!!
2.5 meters (i think)
rosie

[fudgie1234]

wow that is amazin !!

[dcp]

Pretty huge. Don't think it would be a good idea for a horse to make a career out of jumping that high!

[Dash]

jesus that was amazin' :O

[Poniez]

Simply awesome!!!!

That horse is unbelievable.

As for the rider I have to wonder, there is a fine line between bravery and stupidity, certainly wouldn't catch me doin that height hell I would be stressing at the thought of doing half that height.
Agree with others though the horse wouldn't do it if he didn't want to, however he did refuse the first time he was presented at the jump but cleared the next 2 times the clip shows the last time over the fence. He actually jumped it to the right of the fence and it was measured at 2.54m but for the world record it was taken at the lowest point in the middle of 2.47m. The horse died at the age of 29 and is buried under a permanant replica of the jump and he has a statue in his honour which I think is quite cool.

[kirstie]

WOW that's amazing:eek: :p

[coblover26]

I couldn't see the first link that was put up. Thanx whoever put the second one up.

That horse has a humungous(sp?) jump. WOW:eek: :eek:

I would never ever jump that high. I would probably fall off:D :eek:

Thanx again WOW:eek:

[fiesty_filly]

In the last couple frames when the horse is getting it's feet back under itself it looks as though it's about to take a little bucking spree lol. Like you know when you are on a horse that is just having a ball doing a course or a tight gym line and they like to put a couple of good spirited bucks in when they are having fun... thats what the horse looks like he is doing.

[storminator]

wow thats amazing!!! i didnt think a horse could jump that high, or would!! :) :)

[xhorse_riderx]

WOW thats all i can say !!!

[chestnuts4ever]

its exactly 2.18 metres high and may i say woweee:D

[macinac]

That horse is incredible. I just want to comment, if you watch the pictures of the horse jumping, his ears ARE pricked forward, and his face is lively, indicating he is not being forced to do anything he didn't want to. If he wanted to refuse like he did the first time he tried to jump it, he would've. But he didn't.

And the horse did refuse, they had three tries to get over it. He jumped the first time and nocked a rail, he refused the second, and the one on film is the one he cleared. The horse he was competing against, Chileno, tried to jump it, got tangled in it, fell, and was retired from jumping that day.

[LCQH]

http://ultimatehorsesite.com/info/worldrecord_jump.html I found this about the highest jumping record.

Mules are good jumpers, jump just like a deer. Fun to watch.
