  • okay to xxxxxvally4everxxxxx. HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA you have obviously NEVER riden a horse, or mine for that matter! oh my god that's a good one! whoooooo it is NOT easy to make a horse do ANYTHING. they are the most subborn most intelligent most strong willed animals in the animal kingdom. No horses would just go and jump a 7ft wall if they didnt want to. my horse would slam me into that wall. trust me THAT right there is what that horse lives for...

  • That horse deserves a few extra horse treats!!! And ... some joint lubricant (can you imagine what that does to their joints over time?)

  • @leenett hahaha. "the horse is enjoying the fame"... of course it is... :')

  • @xxxxxvally4everxxxxx However, this horse doesnt look scared at all. Looks more like it was enjoying the fame and its not cement they are riding on... its sand.. therefore, the horses dont land too hard on it. Plus if it was SOOO irresponsible, it would be a sport at all. Showjumping is a sport, a hobby and it can be many things.

    Horses are strong creatures... if it really was bad for the horse... showjumping wouldnt be a sport at all .. Puissance is just showing off pure talent. get over it...

  • he makes it look much smaller than 7 feet!

  • I was THERE when he jumped this.. absoloutely AMAZING.. he was the only horse to clear it the entire round... and it was just for fun.. he had already won the show jumping part of the pussiance.. and the jump was 7 foot 4 inches.

  • I was THERE when this jump was jumped.. he was the ONLY person to cleanly jump it and the height was 7 foot 4.

  • god you guys are noisy! xx I could never ride in that enviroment!! Awsome video! hope you had a nice time!

    Rach xx

    P.s. I mean no offence by saying you noisy! I think you are really good at chearing them on! xxx

  • It doesn't bother me that ppl are yelling. Besides when your on course a bomb could go off and you probly wouldn't even hear it. I wouldn't anyway.

  • I was there for this!! And unfortunately the announcer was really stupid and told people to "cheer for the riders" so that's what everyone did. After about two rounds the announcer said "so the riders have requested that everyone please be quite as they approach the wall"

    So initially yes but once it got higher the screaming stopped thankfully

  • the noise or jumping that high doesnt hurt the horse if it did then they wouldnt jump it if it was to big or to scary they again wouldnt jump it horses have minds to people
