A compilation of showjumpers clearing a wall in excess of 7ft, without a saddle of any kind.

The intro is followed by a short clip of Switzerland's Willi Melliger and the amazing Airport Moet, seen clearing that same wall (now 7ft7in!) with ridiculous ease!

Part 4 of a 6-part series. See also:

  • wheres the spills?

  • @Dubin619

    ...ever consider READING the video's info box? It's there for a reason y'know. :)

  • Thats gotta hurt ones crotch....

  • @terry11905

    Guy riders longggggggggggg since learn to catch ourselves, and mind our position at all times, when riding. We figure that out in pony/short-stirrup days.

    I know this can sometimes seem incomprehensible to you ladyfolk (and I guess that's understandable)-- but it's just really not that hard to avoid racking ourselves when riding... even bareback. It's not. We wouldn't do it if it was.

  • What is Puissance?

  • @horsesofcourses1

    It's French for ”power”... generally in puissance classes, they build the single central fence higher and higher until only a winner can clear it. There are optional practice fences as well.

  • @Pips4lucy
