Puissance WIHS - Horse jumps 7 foot wall! 

Yihan Du i just got jump watching TALL people that are 6"4 jumping one more foot there high.... Soooo already did 😃 my brother is 6"3 or 6"4 but even he cant jump his high 😂 only half....

It’s not hard for them to jump their body height

M Harish horses actually aren’t natural jumpers, in nature almost all horses would do anything to not have to jump something.

Charlene Van Drie It depends on the horse, if it’s a wild horse you can’t expect it to just jump, these horses are trained to do this, and horse won’t just jump, they aren’t naturally made to be runners and jumpers, they’re trained to be like this.

Good horsy.

Very bad for a horse's health (joints, ligaments, tendons) to have a horse jump such heights often. Think about it. Don't be selfish.

Yes, but there is a limit to what's best for the horse. As usual, man looks to do what only pleasures him. And yes, the horses are mostly taken care of, but jumping that high is very hard on their joints. And they will probably pay for it later in life. There's a reason wild horses don't jump over something unless they have to. Just common sense.

Grace 246 same though lol

Same

Hahaha

Grace 246 haha same

If you changed the title to walk the horse around a circle I can do it. Oh wait. I can't. My wrist is broken.

Soooooooooo agreed!

I like jumping big. I have a 12 h tall welsh pony who is jumping 3 feet right now

+kaytor razzy wow way to go!! I have only jumped once, for we are working on dressage.

Yeah

Lol ikr

Just get them to read up on "how to sit a trot"

Exactly what I do xD

The fact that people (non-equestrians) think horseback riding is easy just speaks volumes about how easy these skilled riders make it look. Despite how incredibly difficult the sport is, it looks easy when they do it because they’ve trained hard for years.

aw this post is from 2 years ago. could your horse have pain issues? some appaloosas are great jumpers. I once had the most amazing little white appaloosa of Navaho Britches Thunder (thoroughbred and foundation bloodlines) That brave little 14.3 indian pony I swear could jump almost anything and often jumped from a standstill (And this in his early 20s) a trick so he could get out and make mischief around my neighborhood as he literaly almost had the intelligence of Mr Ed lol There was never a corral that could hold him, to my neighbors dismay lol He would wow crowds at shows, especialy times when he would run up to a jump stop and you think its a refusal and he would pop over it. He seemed to love to jump just for the sake of it. I'm surprised he wasn't born with wings. Well he's got his wings now in heaven my little pegasus.

@@Shewolfen dang, love that we don't get notifications anymore! But no, she's constantly checked by the chiropractor and vet, so she shouldn't have any pain! She's a western pleasure pony and just really lazy haha! Over the past couple years we have grown together, I'm 16 now, and she's kind of old, 15, so we've popped over some little cross rails and cavalettes or however you spell it! But we like her calm, cool and collected since she's both lazy and a great lesson horse :)

Same

Verniixxx A 17 hand thoroughbred is a rarity with most thoroughbreds being from 15.2 to 16.2hh. Most riders jump warmblood horses, bred specifically for jumping and some of them reach 17hh but by no means all of them.

these are all warmbloods 💀

I noticed lol

omg yes

Yes! I notice that too!

Men get to the top quicker because they are literally made to thrust in the saddle (for obvious reasons...) better than girls, sad to say but yep

StarDust Stables. that's so rude

Yh I’m sitting here watching and screaming at my phone for the people to shut up 😂🤣

It was probably to much for the poor horse and they were pushing it to hard

I am sorry, but neither you nor those riders in the video truly understand the nature of a horse. The horse is not asking for an electric-magnetic treatment and this other stuff you are referring to. It is asking for kindness, love and safety. And this is everything but. They are using the horses for their own interest and no the horses don't have a choice. I do agree that some horses like to jump,but neither these heights nor in a competition. They are forced to do that, because they managed lower jumps so well. Humans never know when its enough and you can clearly see the selfishness in this vid. They are pulling on the reins like crazy. Most of the horse have their mouth open in pain, not to mention the practices that go on behind the scenes. I am sorry, but this has nothing to do with knowledge about the Grand Prix etc., it is just about knowing what any living being is seeking for. Not being harmed.

LadyMi95 You don't need to be a Grand Prix expert to though horses aren't meant to be jumping 7ft. When I was younger I dreamed of doing this, now I'm older and understand I realize how wrong this is. My dreams of riding in these events have turned into owning a small farm with a couple horses and riding for fun and small local country shows. No part of this is for the horse, it's all for the rider. I agree with you. I also kept flinching seeing those horses mouths. Sometimes I want to put a bit in peoples mouths and pull on in like they do with their horse. And please people, don't give me the 'it's not the bit and it's the hands' crap. It's metal. In a living creatures mouth. With straps so it can't get rid of it. I wish shows like this allowed riders to go bitless. There are people who can control their horse without a crap piece of metal causing pain.

@Equine @LadyMi95 You make it sound like you had some sort of Epiphany or Enlightenment that brought you to that conclusion. What are gonna do now, go start a new religion and form a cult of broken hearted equestrians that don't have the stomach to watch people doing what they love and making the money that provides these horses with lives of comfort? Sure, the true nature of a horse is their wilder side, but you can't tell me that if given a choice a horse wouldn't choose shelter, food and a life of luxury over starvation, disease and cougar maulings. I'm not saying that any one of you are right, including myself, but you're definitely wrong and you can't tell ME what a horse is really thinking or anyone else for that matter. Why don't you stop wasting everyone's time with your opinions and just respect the fact that these beautiful beasts with the capability to bring joy to these riders and an audience as large as that one just broke another physical barrier. It's already happened, you can't do anything about it, get over yourselves, stop being selfish and find some cause that carries a little more weight like oh, I don't know, child soldiers in Africa that are forced to blow their own parents' brains out. Or maybe donate a kidney to one of the thousands of children that die every year because of a lack of organ donors. Stop fighting for a case that I believe in because you are just making us all like ignorant dumbasses. No one's going to take us seriously with your incapacity to form a coherent, logical argument. In case you hadn't noticed, all that apparently useless looking equipment has a function. You may not have the eyes to realize this, but all that leather around his face and his chest, yes I'm talking about those scrappy thingies, understand me now? That is designed to keep the weight of the rains away from his faces among other things that make the jump easier for both the horse and the rider. It also is a much more convenient way to help the horse set himself up for his own jump. Those riders know what they're doing. They aren't going to let that horse hurt itself over that jump and would be pretty stupid if they did. And do you run with your mouth closed? Are you okay? Do you need me to call a doctor, because that's not normal. Stop pretending to know what you're talking about. Behind the scenes most competitive jumpers are upbeat playful horses that love their riders. Why would they even look another human in the eye if they're being treated as badly as you make it sound. If a horse is treated badly, it shows. They are bitter, biting, kicking fiends compared to energetic lovers that just want to sit with you all day and nibble your fingers or rub their heads against you. Stop pretending to know what a horses "true nature is" because, although even I can never be certain of this, their one true desire is to survive. Survival of the fittest and a sense of impending danger rushes underneath the skin of the universe and I am certain that being loved and cared for is a little lower on the priority list than not knowing. And honestly if you find a specimen that is a counter example of that then it's probably not gonna live for long anyways.

second stride i agree i mean im not in the showing circit but i want to for now im on my 15.2 hang quarter horse cross and im jumping up to two feet this is not abuse you are 100% correct

It doesn't matter how much they are worth, usually the insurance on them is more,so most of these horses are worth more dead than alive;)

Sure, if you are into watching horse abuse.

I agree xxLOL xx

This is worse on a horses legs than racing, which is also bad because they are young. Supplements help take that kind of an impact, are you kidding. I promise in 2 years these horses will have ringbone or something and the riders will move on to their next victim

This is the most dangerous sport. Especially jumping this high. I fell off of my horse when jumping a small jump, and imagine this one. I got really hurt, and it actually was a cars fault. My horse got spooked by the noise, and the car had no idea where it was going, so it got in the arena. Ugh people these days. I owned tht stable btw ( I am rebuilding a few things ) u can come. If anyone wants to come to my stable, I will give u the address, and if u are close by and looking for a place to ride, this is the place. My stable is beautiful and we do many things. :) a lot of money tho

Horsegirl Your barn has NOTHING to do with the conversation. You should be able to control your horse at all costs.

@bellasue02 Actually, in 2 years these horses with be living out pampered lives of luxury until they die happily with probably another 2 years of jumping to go before they'd feel any pain, but most riders wouldn't do that to their horses and I know for a fact that two of the riders in this competition would probably send anyone who would to jail for life.

Yeah, because I would totally ride at a barn where any random tourist could just drive straight into the arena and potentially injure me, or worse, my horse. Umm....... No thanks.

Then you will wonder why the horse is lame years later from joint, ligament, and tendon damage.

@@gerrycoleman7290 Byron has been dead for years. He never had leg problems.

Prob like flying.

At first, when the horse jumps you feel like your flying.....and then when its time to land you feel like your falling and the only thing you can do is hope to balance and not fall over the horses head-

CLEARLY THEY DONT CARE IF THEY DO IT. IF THEY DID THEY WOULDNT JUMP IT. YOUR SO UNEDUCATED ITS NOT EVEN OKAY.

caitlin hooper ??? You're calling me uneducated when you literally said what I already did...

I'm not talking to you I'm supporting you... Wow... This is what i get for supporting people? Wow. Just wow...

caitlin hooper It's hard to tell if you're supporting me because it's all caps and it's replied to my comment. You didn't reply to anyone else.

sorry, I was supporting you...

THANK YOU.

Mybaybae the horses can't jump this naturaly. The max. they jump naturaly is 1 meter. and they are killed if they break a leg or something. They are forced to do this. I ride and I don't jump this. Oh, and horses have less lifetime. I find this horrible. IT'S CRUEL. IT'S HUMAN CRUELTY!!!

Eva Fonseca Sorry but I have to disagree. As the original commenter said, 'they are absolutely capable of not cooperating'. I'm sure you saw an example of this with David Beisel and his horse Patoile who refused the jump. Horses have minds of their own whether you like to believe it or not, that was your proof.

Eva Fonseca first of all u ride but u probably CANT jump this second of all is not actually cruelty because the wall is foam therefore if the horse hits it it isn't really an impact its just like the horse knocking a 2ft jump and i agree with georgie the horses can just refuse which one of them did they aren't scared they just want to jump it because its fun for them i dont see one horse with its ears back in this (sorry for late reply)

Mybaybae do you see how uncomfortable the horse looks at 3:16?!

Skyler Shaw Can't enjoy watching when the horses are trying to free their noses for the jump and for the landing. Martingales/tiedowns are showbiz, not horsemanship. Same thing with the jawbreakers- as we used to call those bits.

Even if they "enjoyed" it which many of them clearly didn't, it's still not healthy for horses to jump this high. They aren't built to do it over and over again. The only horse breeds that truly jump naturally are the Connemara and Irish Sport. Others can do it, even very well, but in the end it does cause them joint and ligament issues.

I'll be cheering for you when you make it :D

awe thanks so much!!!

did you make it??

I was just saying something... My opinion... Also... I have an education and you may not tell me what to do.. Ooh and if I was hit by a truck, which is very unlikely, I would be happy to get away from jackasses like you... That was also my opinion :)

canyoubelieveit92 The moment a horse jumps and the rider lifts himself from the horse's back , he doesn't weigh anything. Extremely difficult sport this is .

elyssa hale omigosh this comment is perfect.

canyoubelieveit92 WHY COME HERE IF YOU DON`T LIKE IT. WHY

Pretty Ponies xD

happyhorserider12 lol RU-vid is the place for horse jumping experts who never left their flat though
