  • Lol, and my computer chooses to buffer right as he's about to take off. XD

  • IM SO PROUD ...THIS CHILEAN HORSE WILL BE THE BEST FOREVER, HUASO HORSE AND LARRAGUIBEL FROM CHILE , NUMBERS ONE FOREVER.

  • I wish I could just be in that rider's body for that jumping experience...WOW.

  • What an incredible little horse!!! He practically jumped it from a standstill as well.

  • ~ Amazing. That must have felt like flying <3

  • This is not animal cruelty.horse love to jump if they have been trained to do it.

    If a horse doesn't want to do a jump, they will refuse, or certainly let the rider know they don't want to do it. Also if a horse didn't want to jump, then in a corse, why do they get so excited and race towards the next jump? Yes if they are afraid or stubborn, we will try and get them over the jump to say to them " yes you can jump it, it's not going to bite you!" .

  • Amazing!

  • heres the thing. i used to have a pony and she was 25 and acted like a 2year old racehorse. she had arthiritis which doesnt matter and they can still be ridden. also if a horse doesnt want to do something, it wouldnt do it. believe me i know :) xx

  • It's 8'1" and no he didnt and that was the last time anyone rode him so he didn't get arthritis. He was hurt years before so he had a limp. He was also only 16yo so he was fairly young and died because of nc at the age of29

  • Un 5 de febrero de 1948, el capitán de Ejército de Chile, Alberto Larraguibel y su caballo “Huasó”, lograron una de las proezas más recordadas de la equitación mundial al saltar 2.47 metros.

  • 2 meters 47 centimetres.

  • Wow. Talk about failure video

  • how high is this jump?

  • Okay people this will not hurt the horse! It's one jump of 8 ft and yea at that point in time it put stress on the horses ligaments at the time of the fence but it's bot like it going to all of a sudden give the horse arthritis magically from one fence! Arthritis happens when years of stress on the ligaments of the horse or if the horse had an injury. They jumped it one time it's not a full course of 8 ft.

  • How high is this jump? This is amazingggggg

  • what is the song? thanks

  • i hate people that twine about horses jumping high ! fuck off if you do not like it 1 and let everyone else enjoy the video. without you pests spoiling it thanks bye

  • how high did he jump?

  • does anyone know the breed of the horse?

  • do you know how high it was? :O

  • That must Be so Bad for the horses leg's if He Lands!

  • @alessamausiii

    *when* he lands.

  • 63 people are jealous they cant jump that high... lol

  • yeah these guys would have practiced for years probably that is amazing, but the funny thing is that is started with a bet of whos horse could jump the hieghst

  • OMG they have flown, that's the only way!!!

    If I didn't see, I wouldn't believe. This is like..........:O. This made me speechless.

    Awesome. No words.

  • the horses nose nearly hits the floor at its landing! AMAZING JUMP! <3

    horses arent even natural jumpers, they have just been taught by man so this is truly fabbbb

  • the horses nose nearly hits the floor at its landing! AMAZING JUMP! <3

  • WOW that's massive! :0 

  • holy shitt

  • what is the name on that song?

  • Play- Us against the world

  • what is this song called

  • tht horse has spring!! cause it looks like it half stops before he jumps it!!

  • That's the proof of the trust the horse and rider put in each other.

    Bravooo

  • Some horses have a huge jump and a bigger heart. And they'll attempt almost anything for their rider. Many will play thru the pain and perform feats way beyond their scope.

    I agree that these high jumps are brutal on the hocks on the way up and entire front leg on the way down. My experience is that they are rarely jumped outside the show ring and do limited shows and classes to preseve the legs.

    I am in awe of both horse and rider.

  • amazing!!!

  • this jump was clearly hard on the horse, considering in its old age its going to have severe authoritous. as most have noticed he wasn't cantering quietly. the horse probably died a painful death because the autheritious it possibly caused in its back, shoulders, withers, joints, and legs. Jumping can be a good exercise for a horse but this is too over the top for this type of animal.

  • @jmaritz328 Yeah 16 is not old at all, 25 is old. If you would have read the article provided he suffered an injury in the past giving him a slight limp. The horse lived to 29 ,a respectable age, I'm sure like every horse he got arthritis but not for this reason. Geez our 36 year old horse got arthritis when he was in his late 20's and he was averagely rode not over worked. It also says that he was retired after this accomplishment so IF they did damage it was not worse on.

  • Whoa...o________o

    That's amazing.

    But it could've also been dangerous because having a horse fall and break a leg isn't something I'd want to have to worry about xP

  • How could that horse even do that. that is not even close what i jump now!!!!!!!!!!

  • this is actually amazing!! but its kinda weird how he gets all the credit when both should! :) but then again he had the guts to jump it.

  • What breed was this horse?

  • From 1:16 to 1:20 the horses hind left leg looks injured how he is cantering on it

  • @dutchwarmblood2love it doesnt look injured

  • @ilovmyponey well he is cantering really weird

    

  • The name of the rider is "Alberto" without final "n".

  • i wouldve gone straight over the horse's head from how steep the landing is !! :) xx

  • @sceneoddsox101 same! :')xx

  • Wow they should call that horse "deer".

  •  That landing in slow motion looks like it really hurt that horse's legs.....ouch

  • What I find amazing is the complete halt & the launch from a standstill @ 1:25.

    Incredible strength & athleticism. It looks like he is going to refuse and then just springs straight up !! Even though he has great impulsion approaching the jump ( I'm sure that there would really be no other way to do it) it still looks so impossible.

  • DAMN!! That is TRULY AMAZZING!!!

  • This isnt the first time i have seen this jump. it is truly amazing. im just not sure how i feel about it. I could never think of training my horse to jump that high. As humans we push these animals beyond their limits and in more cases than not they either live out their lives in pain, or dont get to live them out at all. enjoy your horse for the simple creature it is. why does everything have to be bigger and better and faster?

  • Ouch! Look at his front pasterns, they were on the ground.

  • i'd ve think HOLYYY FUCKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!! lmaooo thats fricken amazing that the horse cleared that and the rider stayed on. Cruel honestly tho. i mean how much stress that puts on the horses hind and front legs and hooves.. yikess. but cool anyho :) lol

  • Ähm man macht die züqel ab nur mal sou weil wenn die züqel übern Hals qehen und das pferd drauf tritt kanns passieren das das qenick durch ist !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • this is amazing. the horse looks in pain though while cantering. But a defffinitly Honest and Incredible horse and rider!

  • ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhh

    

  • As much as this is amazing, I also think this height is dangerous - no matter how much a horse loves jumping, that horse had it's doubts and I thought at one point it was going to flip. Yep its exciting and amazing he got over it but if anything went wrong, both of them would probably have been dead.

  • @emaieoghanahally this happened like half a century ago, why say this now?

  • @emaieoghanahally this happened like half a century ago, why say this now?

    and what can u do about it now? nothing?

  • oh wow thats so tiny i can jump twice that with a pont about 13hh just kidding i can barley jump at 2foot

  • I want that horse. :3

  • das pferd heisst halla glaube ich und wenn mich nciht alles täuscht war paulk schockemöhle der reiter....

    ich garantiere aber für nichts !

  • i'm impressed they could jump that high without breaking the horse's frontlegs, afterall on the way down both the the rider and the horse's weight rest solely on two legs. Thumps up for the guts :o)

  • Both horse and rider had to have had some serious stones . Incredible!

  • i could jump that its tiny lol lol lol only jokin it's frigin massive and if any of u think you could jump u would have to video yourself jumping it cause its the only way i will believe u . anyway sure noone could jump that...

    just 3 big questions u mightant be able to answer

    1.... how many hands is that horse and what is his name

    2..... what year is that and where is it

    3....who is the legend rider

    thanks for answering

  • @brucified2009

    1) The horse, Huaso, was 16 yrs old and 16.1 hh

    2) In 1949, Chile

    3) Captain Alberton Larraguibel Morales is the rider.

    Thank you for your comment!

  • wow did you see the angle of the horse when he came down. im so shocked he didn't get a serious injury after that, that was incredible.

  • Amazing horse!!!

  • i'd seen photos of the jump, but never the video. thanks for posting!

  • I swear some horses are born with springs in their feet.... :D x

  • Amazing in slow motion! I had only seen still shots before. The horse's complete trust and athletic ability is a credit to the Capt., how proud he must have been of his great horse.

  • What is the name of the song?

  • Awesome video, I love jumping but never even would think about attempting that high!!!

    I remember when i jumped a 4 year old Arabian cross A.S.H it jumped then stopped dead after and i fell off and did like a somersult (probly not but it felt like it)

    Luv the video keep making them

    Say "I" If you luv horses

  • wow thats incredible!!

    thats nearly as high as the roof of our house (inside)

  • i can do that

  • @stazieandco its 8ft 1in... im sure you can :/

  • @stazieandco sure :/ :L id like to see you try. if you can, why not upload a video of it so we can all see how amazing you are...

  • 2,47! szok.

  • WOW! awesome achievment thats huge - must of been such hard impact of the horses legs on landing though the slow mo looks like he almost collapses!

  • i swear some horses are born with springs in their feet x

  • When they broke the world record at 2.47 meters (8 ft 1¼ in), Huaso was already 16 years old, quite old for a result of that magnitude. After the record, the horse was retired and never ridden again. He roamed freely until he died naturally on August 24, 1961, at the age of 29. Huaso is buried on the same Cavalry Academy where he spent his last years. RIP

  • omg

  • and to indie gurlx74 -flying???-sorry but crawling seems the better word-if you concentrate you would see that it looks as if huaso wants to refruse another time but for some reason i don´t get he doesn´t-all respects to the horse but none to the rider

  • @lumpiknubbel the horse would not have done it if he didnt want to trust me. its not cuel, he trusted the rider and at the end of the day, enjoyed a good retirement till he passed away peacefully at a full life of 29 years old.

  • sorry i´m totally a jumper but that´s cruel-of course there are horses loving to jump,but i think that´s too much-and the landing seems really hard,really maks me thinking shit

  • I´m chilean and knew Captain Larraguibel. They trained for months, specially running in the beach and free jumps without rider. Huaso refused the first time, barely touched the second and passed incredibly the third. He did not whip him after the refussal, instead he gave him confidence. Riders put attention in his position in the top of the junp: perfect ! as if he were jumping 1,2 meters. The horse was retired not because he had and injury but as a recognition to his amazing achievement.

  • @eddy1240 i really respect the rider and horse combination, but in this video (i'm guessing is the third try) he clearly whips the horse twice upon approaching the jump. i haven't seen the refusal, but if he whips the horse to jump it, i'm guessing he whipped him for the refusal.:/

  • @saddlepotato159

    What I mentioned is that immediately after the refusal, in the second attempt; he didn’t whip him, but padded him and gave him confidence. When he faced the jump for the third time, he did whip him twice in the last moment. You must understand that he was facing a 2:47 meter jump and Huaso had refused the last time, so he probably thought he needed the extra push. To me it’s incredible that he passed after a refusal.

  • amazing! that horse wus flyin!

  • this song is " us against the world"

  • haha i absolutely love jumping. its my passion but there is nothing you could say or do that would make me attempt a jump that high. hats off to captain alberton :) :)

  • amazing, but i don´t think that was very delightful for the horse...i like jumping too, but that high?

  • thats amazing!!!! but MAN when its front feet hit the ground... ouch that looks painful!!

  • that rider is great

  • WOW! That horse is incredible!Amazing to think some horses actually like doing this cuz their legs are so thin!I can barely watch it land,damn!

  • That horse is bloddy amazing

  • Absolutley AMAZING horses only jump if they want to ! if want to go for it......

  • There is a horse at my stables who I have seen jump nearly 7ft, and he's an 18.3hh, nothing compares to watching a horse jump that high in real life.

  • People might said well he was whipping it so it had no choice but to jump it blah blah blah. But if i hourse does not want to jump it you litrally cant make it no matter what force you use! If it did not want to jump it would refuse.

    Very skilled rider that horse has a fucking good jump on it!!

  • brave rider

  • 1) LOVE the song choice!!! I'm the only one I know who likes Play!! Now there is you! YAY!

    2) How high was that jump?? I could never jump that... EVER!!

  • This is amazing! i cant believe that horse jumped that. I mean that is .. WOW! .. how big is that jump?? !!

  • W0W

  • that must have been one really honest horse to attempt something like that..i know if i tried that on mine then he would refuse full stop or just demolish the fence haha but im amazed by this video :D i wonder if anybody else has ever tried it?

  • It´s absolutly AMAZING !!!

  • Thanks for showing this as it is amazing but they are crazy. No way would i risk my horse 2 get in a book if you know what i mean. Thanks for posting as it was really amazing to watch. :)

  • OMG! How do these horses do this! At least the people arent making the horse jump what they cant jump :)

  • da arme tier

    Tierquäler

  • i want this horse!!

  • the power that horse has to do that is insaneee(:

    horses are the best.<3

  • How high in ft do u recon that is?

  • @xHoRsEyFrEaKx123 8ft, roughly. Dunno how many inches.

  • incredible.. thanks for posting

  • Whoopsies there goes his hat!

  • absolutely amazing.....  Wow..... I wonder how that landing didn't hurt. He was 16. Wow....

  • Pls what´s name of this song ? :)

  • HOW????

  • That's amazing!

  • Doesn't it affect the horses feet cause of the landing? I do ride horses, but I am jst curious

  • Omg!!!!! That is truely amazing and i LOVE horses! i actually have one so this is huge for me!

  • tierquälerei

  • Truly amazing! wow :)

  • i have a poster on this horse! hes so coool! i wish my horse was like him!

  • So amazing :O

  • Comment removed

  • Whoa! Thats awesome but i feel sorry for the horse because at the end the Capt. is getting all the attention when really it was the horse who jumped the damned thing! Also this is not the highest jump its actually something like 8ft 3 in or something. So yeah thats the unofficial highest jump

  • @misshorsey22 No, this is the official highest jump. The other one, the 8ft3 one, was the unofficial one. Only 25 people watched so it wasn't counted as being public enough.

    I totally agree with you though, the capt. didn't just jump 8ft high, did he? :(

  • plz what is name of that song ??

  • I feel so sorry for the horse! As fleur4198 said, imadgen what it feels like! And the hudge presure on the horses front feet!!

    This should not be legal! Though it's amazing to watch, and you've got to have nervs to do this!!

  • I know the puissance jumpers can jump about 2.30m, am not sure how many riders attempt this sort of height though. Only the best, strongest and most most capable horses in the world jump these heights, not everyone is crazy enough to ask their horse to jump that!!

  • That is friggin amazing! and I for 1 love this song!

  • This horse is amazing!

  • god how can the horse jump that high

  • Did you ever try to hit the bone of your leg, under the knee, when jumping over or simply hitting something?

    Strongly advise you try..

    And then come back to the video and have a look at WOODEN bars of the fence and imagine that YOU, being a horse, have NO CHOICE...... You will probably find an answer to your "how..." ....

  • @fleur4198 - breyercraze101 was posting what I assumed to be a rehtorical question.....

  • Jesus Christ.

  • God! Horses are awesome. This almost made me cry! But I bet the horses legs get quite a battering on the landing.

  • This Horse, was never more ride again, just rest and death at age of 28 years old,.

  • Lol, did the rider have a death wish?

    Amazing, maybe some one will beat the record one day, with all these new high performance diets and exercise.

  • looks kinda animated but oh well lol That was cool

  • i just cant believe the rider stayed on

  • I guess the Horse hurt It's leg after performing the jump !! 1:03

  • LOVE the song. Love the video. Thanks for posting it!

  • HOLLY CHEESE lol this is amazing that horse must be part bunny or something!!!!!!!! XD

  • phffffff sooo easy whateverrr

    hahaha JUST KIDDING

    omg thatsss amazingggg!!!

  • omg!

  • good horse

  • Honestly, the horse that jumped the highest in the world was the chestnut thoroughbred called Kings Own, he jumped over an 8ft 3 1/2 hurdle. But since the crowd wasn't big enough, it didn't count... But Huaso was actually put in the records.

  • the horse is lucky it didnt brake its fuckin legs n he is must he be fairly good for nowin how to land that with out falling off thw highest jump my horse n i have jumped is 1.60 n i felt like i was gunna crash on the other side

  • at first it looks like steeplechase until you c the side of it WOW tht horse is amazing and the rider is like... soooo old! haha

  • What is this song called?

  • I think this is Halla.

  • 2,47 mt no es algo de todos los días XD

  • What breed!!!!=}

  • @dogagilitygeek I would guess a thoroughbred, as warmbloods weren't yet all that popular, or even anywhere near the way they look today. But holy shiznaps, this freakin horse could JUMP!! And this man could freakin RIDE!! Perfect balance, an automatic release, and complete and utter confidence. I wish riding could go back to the way it was, and I wish instructors would stop basting people in kind lies for more money. *steps off random soapbox*... uh, what was I saying? lol

  • @dogagilitygeek Huaso was a 16.1hh chestnut Thoroughbred stallion

    Huaso broke the record, jumping 8.2 feet at the age of 16

  • @dogagilitygeek Thoroughbred, apparently. (:

  • how tall was he ? :p

  • 16.1 Hands :]

  • and i thought 4ft was big.....must have been scary for both of them

  • Ooof did those knees bend backwards on landing?

    amazing though!

  • I remeber when u posted the vid I was just a famegirl then but now i am a jumpergirl

  • that had to be terrible for the horse...hes probabley like "GET OFF! GET OFF! GET OFF!" i would just stop and throw him over it just to see how HE likes it...

  • I DONT AGREE , if the horse didnt like him he would of thrown him off his ears arnt back what a stupid comment

  • well sorry for having my own oppinion

  • there are horses who don't like jumping but there are horses that do...

    I had a horse who, at shows, would constantly try to get into th jumping field... he would drag me there when i was holding him and try and walk there when i was riding....believe me there are horses who just looove jumping and for someone to do something like this he has to be riding on of those horses....

  • people were crazy back in the day. Just think this guy wasn't wearing a helmet and if the horse got injured, there was so much less a vet could do for him. Crazy stuff.

  • What an amazing horse!

  • I was already quite aware the XC jumps don't move but I'm sorry, I know more about eventing now and understand. But actually the grease helps a horse for when they get caught up on a fence so they don't bruise their legs. At the time I had a horse who would jump about 2 or 3 feet higher than needed. I've learned now after buying a new mare, actually an Espiritu baby (She's had lots of training and is more experienced) that not all horses jump as high as they can and jump the amount needed.

  • that has gotta hurt the horse. even without a rider it would hurt dropping from 8ft.

  • Do never break the rekord

  • AMAZING BEAUTIFUL ANIMALS! <3

  • 16 years old?!! OMG amazing horse!!

    Bur i don't think this is good for his legs..

    But still amazing

  • thats ashame coz look at its fet locks and hoofs there inline! when it lands coz of the impact! well done horse but i feel sorry for it!

  • If he loved his horse, he would never risk that. Also, he had to take the crop to it cause the smart horse was saying "fuck that"!! Sorry, for being negative, but I thought it was cruel>(
