Bruce and Rapport Jumping 4 ft. 4 in. - Apr 07

I've been working with my horse, Rapport, to get him jumping up to 4 ft. 6 in. We're getting there. This is video of Rapport and doing a 3' 9" fence, then a 4'3" jump, and finally a 4'4" jump -- a personal best for us. We're taking it slowly since I want him to have confidence with every fence -- and I don't want to get thrown into a fence either (lest I might end up in the 'Horse Jumping Gone Wrong' video)!

is he a morgan?

i doubt it but just making sure

[wbrucelamb]

No, he's a Canadian Sport Horse (comprised of 3/4 Thoroughbred, 1/4 Holsteiner, I believe).

how tall is that horse?

[wbrucelamb]

Rapport is 16.3 hh -- so not huge, but certainly on the larger end of the scale. Despite his size, he is one of the most gentle horses in the barn (with people) -- and absolutely loves to jump. I've sense had him over 4'-8" and I think with some conditioning, we could do 5'.

how big is that horse?

[wbrucelamb]

He's 16-3 hands. We did 4'6" last summer (see response to this video) and my plan is to try 4'8" this summer. Need to get him back in jumping shape, though. If I really worked at it, I think he could do 5'0" -- but I don't know that I have the time to devote at this point.

[SweetLeaf1189]

pahaha, that is bs, I'm sorry. It's about build, weight, length of riders legs, torso, overall height of horse, etc...not only height. I can only laugh at this!!!

[HiiAmHeidi]

That is one cool dad!

[pinkpricesszoe]

That horse is brilliant, makes the jumps look tiny!
