Old Fort Days Rodeo: Horses jumping over a car

Fort Smith, AR. A rodeo clown stands on two horses at a full gallop and jumps over a car parked in the arena. Many say the horses strides are off, but really WHO CARES! It is fun to watch.

Who really cares if a horse is off? Well he/she could be potentially lame and turn into permanently lame. Just because it looks nice does it look like the horses are having fun? I dont think so. People obviously don't put the horses' care first.

Please dont act like you know this guy and assume that he doesnt put the care of his horses first. I had stalled my horses across from this guy and he treated those horses like royalty. They always got fresh water, got daily baths...always had clean stalls...fans in the stall...he was always coming in and giving them sugar cubes....you got to remember theses horses make him money too.

It really isnt that hard for two horses to jump a car...really not even that dangerous...especially for the particular breed of horse that is jumping over the car...those two horses are twice the size of car they jumped. They dont want to hit the car anymore than the guy jumping it does...none the less....dont act like you know this guy and how he treats his horses. Speak for the ones you personally know.

that was pretty damn cool, but for the person who said that western riders were more "in tune" with their horses, then why was the striding so off? i have seen this same thing done (over a five foot fence not a car) with perfect striding by an ENGLISH rider...and you have to be pretty in tune with your horse in order to sail around rolex or burghley over fences nearly twice as large as that car. But the guy did have guts and balance, if not timing..

[sonmist21]

You know, I have never been a one to think one thing is better than another. In my humble opinion I believe there are great riders in both English and Western. I dont think one should really get technical about English vs Western. If we all did the same thing then what fun would that be? Its not about "english", its not about "western"....It was just fun to watch. I have watched trick riders do more than this guy, but guess what...stride or no stride....it was fun to watch.

Performing everynight is not easy and not easy to perfect with animals that have a mind of their own. What makes him so diff from a professional? Not like professionals have some degree in the matter.. they are plain people with lots of experiance.. so i say his is well qualified professional. Piss on english riders you look stupid in that get up anyways.. although i appreciate the art of english i simply think western is more in tune with the animal they are riding and not so weggie looking!

You are too funny!

do have anything better to do than correcting grammar?

xcowgirlupx, the height of the jump, 4 ft is pretty good to have two horses go over it in sync, and also, you're not considering that it's at least 6 feet wide.

The horse should've jumped in the car first, then jumped out.

Does everybody /seriously/ need to pick apart every single detail in order to try and make themselves look smarter?

[heidialice]

Ahaa, you do know giving them a bath everyday takes nutrients out of their coat that they need in winter. Cleverrr
