If you stop at 0:58 you clearly can see that there is no saddle or girth. The owners of the horse just had him or her clipped so that the longer hair would be under the saddle.
This is just breath taking, horses are so amazing! At the end of the day they're still a wild animal, so why do they do these kind of things for us? Horses are unpredictable, but so reliable at the same time. Look at the bonds that these riders would have with their horses, it take a whole lot of trust and courage to get over jumps like those! :) xx
Hey who ever makes the horse fall on a 9 foot jump you are crazy .Frst check with your local vet beacause my horse only can jump 7 feet and if it jumps any higher it can break its back so dont try it.
The current Puissance world record is 7 ft 10 inches and was set in June 1991 in Chaudfontaine, Belgium by rider Franke Sloothaak on Optiebeurs Golo, These horses are trained and conditioned for it, so your one to judge.
Those are maybe the highest jumps I've ever seen...what amazing partnership. And yes, horses are smart enough to know their own limits, and if they do not trust the rider, there's no way in hell they will jump anything. They will refuse the jump. So cool it!
We cannot force the animal, but we can coerce him. Sometimes the horse doesn't know he is going to hurt himself. Sometimes he never crashes, but his joints wear out and he spends his old age limping around. My show jumping stallion Sutter's Showboy was a great soul, brave and noble. His ability and desire to jump was obvious from the time he was a yearling. He won many prizes, but I wish no one has ever asked him to push himself to the limit. The cost to him was too great.
If you watch them you'll notice the occasional crow hop, kick out of the hind leg, chewing the bit, and flicking ears. That means they're excited and want to work. They love this stuff.
Guys think about it.... these horses absolutely LOVE what they do, they wouldn't do it otherwise. Horses like these don't jump cause they're being made to, they do it cause they want to, you cant force something thats 10x the size of you to do shit if it didn't want to! And as for the riders, they bloody love these horses to death, sure they may not own them but still have to ride for a considerable amount of time with them in order to build TRUST to do something like this.
I noticed how the rider jumping this without a saddle has the most perfect position and keeps there hands in a short crest release on the landing. The others with saddles and stirrups for support yank the mouth on landing. Shows the difference one rider can make. Wish more of the riders were like him/her
wow. the thing that amazes me most in this video is the heart. so what if they knocked some of it down? the thing is that they went in, gave it their all, and gave it to the rider. sure it's cool to see them make it, but the heart these horses have and give is incredible.
Listen ppl horses are can be stubborn animals sometimes and if they didn't wanna do summin you'd kno about it these horses are clearly well looked after and ate enjoying what they are doing ( are there ears back? No) u can tell from a horses body lanuadge what they are feeling and these horses are loving it!! Watch as they approach the jump the pick up speed and perk up coz the just love it
These jumps are really high, but only a handful of hoses in the world can do this sort of work. Horses can either jump these heights or they can't, and if a horse can't do this then there's nothing you can do to change that. You can tell from the horse's body language that they're really into what they're doing.
Your horse can only be as brave as you are. -my show jumping motto The rider could be just as well as scared to do it, because they don't know if they will clear it, fall, get hurt, or their horse gets hurt.
these horses are specifically bred and trained for this. They are absolutely capable of carrying a full grown rider through a large course of jumps taller then most of us here.
these people are professionals. they don't jump their horses like this all the time. even regular GP riders train over regular-sized jumps in order to not wear their horse down. and the horses are well-rested and taken care of after. trust me, these horses are PRIZED and are VERY well-cared for.
Wow this is amazing... such skill involved for not only the riders but the horses but I cringed every time they jumped... i hate watching them fall but still just wow
@ArryandElle You are absolutely right. The horses themselves are daredevils. They aren't forced to do anything, only encouraged. Over years of schooling many horses a few are picked for this type of event because they choose to do it. They are willing and get a lot of enjoyment out of it.
Everybody who thinks human can't force a horse to do something he doesn't want to... well, we CAN! I've seen a documentary about a horse trainer, he trained horses to do stunts. He could litterally make a horse ran to a wall and let him hit the wall. Of course he didn't do that, cuz he usually let the horses ran into (sugar)glass. But it prooves that horses will do a LOT to please their owner, because they trust them.
These horses are more than capable of jumping this height, its wether they want to or not. They are not exactly forced to jump it, they get 3 goes and if they cant do it they simply dont.
I've seen horses free jump before without the rider's guidance or urging. They love jumping, they don't need a rider to urge them over it 90% of the time. If a horse is lame, they stop immediately. These horses are expensive, and ruining them would cost the owner a fortune. They also love these horses and take great care of them. I remember once a rider nearly fell of on a course and fought to pull herself up while moving her body in all different ways on her horse and he stood there.
These horses (and riders) are atheletes and monitored with best nutrition and care.. To me, there is nothing more beautiful than a good horseman riding his horse. (that knows how..) it's rare around me.. You can't really make a horse jump.. If they *really* don't want to go, you have an obvious fight...
I've been riding for years, and have seen my fare share of scary shit, but to this day I still hold my breath when ever I watch this. Bravo to the brave riders and some of the most talented daring horses your ever gonna see. I'm gonna keep it to my 3 foot courses and my sunday trail rides, you guys keep kickin ass!
for those who think this is horrible to the horse. ITS NOT. It takes serious trust and courage in the horse and rider together. and only the horses that LOVE to jump would even attempt to go over it. The horses that take this jump on, do it for a living because they love it. I know because I have a mare that is like that. She lives to jump, even though we don't do it often, when she's out in the pasture, she'll jump over the creek and any thing big in her way...
Guys, it's not abuse. The horses are in top condition and love doing this. Any mistakes are the fault of the rider or of the horse knowing not to go beyond his abilites.
I love watching horses jump and its so wonderful how high you can get these beautiful creatures to jump but i find it a bit sad that they jump WAY higher then the hight of the ride and horse put together.
This is amazing. Loyal creatures we're riding.. you need a really close bond with a horse to make it jump something that towers over you as you ride towards it - and the horse has no idea what's on the other side of it o.o
legs results in a pretty tough horse. 8. Finally, I think people confuse normal wear and tear with something inherently wrong in the discipline. We all get old, joints get achey when it's cold, arthritis might set in, and any sort of recovery takes longer. That doesn't mean the trainer was abusive, the horse mistreated, or the discipline is bad. Again, that we see horses jumping at high levels into their mid to late teens, but have little to no actual breakdowns speaks for itself.
I work at a decent sized Warmblood stable that breeds them. Part of my job is to nd give medicine. The only horses who get any sort of pain meds are either older and it is natural to have that happen, have an acutre jjust needs some time , and other a few who hurt themselves at various ponts, non competition related. I'm telling you again: look at their legs. Accidents happen, but the reasons you only see WArmbloods in these shows is that thy are sturdy as well as fast They long sturdy legs
Horses legs are perhaps the most vulnerable part of their body. The impact on landing is incredible as is the pressure required on push off. Will the horses do it, obviously yes, but not because they "love it". They are trained and follow their trainer no matter what. Is it physically good for them? NO. And yes I do own horses and yes I have seen what strain and impact can do to their legs and bodies.
The WArmblood stable I work at has several high caliber jumpers who have jumped at shows higher than our fencing, but they never rtry to escape. Horses are lazy except when stud smells a mare in heat. Barrel Racers don't run in clover leaf pattern, dressage horsse dont collect, reining horses don't slide. So your horse jumping that high is perfectly fine.
Some horses do jump for their own fun- I had a horse I couldn't trust in a six-foot pipe enclosure. He delighted in jumping it. Also, no, you cannot bully a horse into doing this. They rear, they kick, and if you piss them off enough, they will throw themselves down (sometimes over backwards) and crush the rider. You cannot force a horse to do anything unless you physically overpower it, and that usually takes several people working together to accomplish.
You can't force a horse to jump this height they do it cause they love it and it's such an amazing feeling for both the rider and the horse when they clear the jump the footing is really great too so the horses legs won't get hurt
Horses love to listen to their owners! The bond we have with our horses is amazing and you could never have a bond like that with any other living creature in the universe. My horse is my life so you should just shut up about it. In what way is this abuse!? I see no abuse in this. The fact that these horses are trying this means so much to the owners... including me.
They make it look so dang easy! I jumped like 1 1/2 ft. today and that almost jerked me out of the saddle. Im not a beginner rider either, just a beginner jumper. It's sooooo hard, and the bareback jump was just incredable!
Not necessarily. People abuse them, but if you know how to use them then they become an extension of you without ever nearing the range of painful. Some disciplines want you to move as little as possible, so non-ridged spurs help you cue without moving excessively. The crop is often used in dressage to help make it clear what you want the horse to do without a lot of movement. They're also helpful at keeping an excited horse on task in a show. You get problems when people use them as a
My horse would jump that high without being 'forced into it'. We put his favorite mare in another paddock and he jumped the our 6 foot fence with ease. (The fences are that high because he used to jump out more often. Guess we will be adding another row of boards to the top this week).
the horse isn't in any pain! these horses are soo good at jumping because they ENJOY it. it takes an awful lot of trust and stamina to be able to jump the puissance, the horse can't see whats on the other side and has to have an amazing amount of trust in its rider for it to banish its fear of what may be lurking on the otherside! if any of those horses were unfit to jump it then they wouldnt be there. these horses are great at what they do because they love to jump. its clear to see.
I can assure you that retirement for a horse is grand and that these horses, who have done so much for their owners, are probably treated with the highest regard. The people that own these horses do everything they can to keep them comfortable in retirement and they are quite comfortable. Unless you are some under cover billionaire, the horses will probably enjoy their retirement more than you or I will enjoy ours.
I risk it because he loves to jump. I wouldn't in a million years take it away from him. I don't push him either, he kinda pushes me. I think you need to look on the bright side, sure there are injuries and deaths but it's the best feeling in the world when you and your horse win something together. It brings out the best in both of us and the pride and love we feel for each other is undescribible. Jumping bring us closer and we both love it. THAT is why I risk him in this "dangerous" sport.
jumping is an unnatural skill for horses, but these horses love it. horses are big and stubborn, and they wouldn't jump if they didn't want to... i know from experience... :P
Die armen pferde :( -.-
sad to see that some people really think that this is amazing. It is so bad for their legs. poor horses.
Patricia Fischer this jumping should be forbidden
These horses have heart, simply magnificent.
This is the palpable proof about how far a horse can go because of his rider. Such a determinated heart!
0:42 is there something wrong with my eyes or is he actually jumping bareback?
no the saddle is the same color as the horse and there is no saddle pad for some reason.... o_o
If you stop at 0:58 you clearly can see that there is no saddle or girth. The owners of the horse just had him or her clipped so that the longer hair would be under the saddle.
Schelich Star Ah. now i see
pauvre chevaux!!! sa leur bouzille les tendons
d'accord avec toi !!
This is just breath taking, horses are so amazing!

those horses have a heart of gold, crazy but they trust their riders so much to be able to happily do that
wer ist aich gegen mächtigkeitspringen🙏💛
Hey who ever makes the horse fall on a 9 foot jump you are crazy .Frst check with your local vet beacause my horse only can jump 7 feet and if it jumps any higher it can break its back so dont try it.

You might be the dumbest person alive

1 Chinesen reiten so unlogisch
2mächtigkeits springen is so ein scheiß
My horse is an X olympic jumper named Sonatra, he used to jump this high and he loved it! he would jukp anything he could he absolutly loved it!
you have to admit, it interesting seeing the horses that jump through the wall and just look happy afterward.
Most of these horses are worth more than most people will make in a year..there is no way they aren't receiving the best care possible
That grey horse "Yeah, you're funny. I jump, I don't fly!"
If you watch them you'll notice the occasional crow hop, kick out of the hind leg, chewing the bit, and flicking ears. That means they're excited and want to work. They love this stuff.
Ouch, that third jump coming down made MY legs hurt. Beautiful horse. Peace everyone.
these horses are definition of increadible!
I think its absolutely fantastic how those horses can jump that high!
this video is amazing. i cant believe that horses can even do that! it makes the 4 feet jumpers look like beginners!!!!
Guys think about it.... these horses absolutely LOVE what they do, they wouldn't do it otherwise.

oh my good that's incredible! this horses is very good and strong!!!!!!!!!!!!
The horse at 1.04 is just like "hell no! That jumps bigger than me!"
Listen ppl horses are can be stubborn animals sometimes and if they didn't wanna do summin you'd kno about it these horses are clearly well looked after and ate enjoying what they are doing ( are there ears back?

It looks like they're jumping over a paddock wall and into freedom... in a good way!
Your horse can only be as brave as you are. -my show jumping motto

The horse at 1:02 was like "Oh hell NO! You got another thing coming if you think im gonna jump that!"
Wow this is amazing... such skill involved for not only the riders but the horses but I cringed every time they jumped... i hate watching them fall but still just wow
OMG!!!! the rider without the saddel is what I call a really good rider! Omg :D
It's all very nice seeing horses jump that high, I'm sure they enjoy jumping that high by the looks of this horse 0:14 ...

Amazing! Our Monty is 32 and still competes. He can jump 2'9". He is an amazing boy. He is also a rescue horse!

FANTASTIC !!!!
poor horsiees, trying to please the rider, trusting the rider, but ends up failing and getting hurt :(

So true. That's awesome that your in a pre-veterinary track! I want to be a large animal vet when I get older:)
Omfg. These horses are ninjas. Whose joints will be dead by age 8.
WOW just WOW!!!!!!
Lol ! J'était trop consentrée et j'avencait la tête quand il sautaient au ralenti genre "vas y...! Gagne !!" Mdrr' !!
Pouce vert ! ^^
Wowiee! These animals have skills.. I cannot imagine how brave those riders must be..o_O
Oh my theese makes my jumps look like nothing lol
STUNNING :-O
omigod those jumps are HIGH!!!!!
dayum. this doesn't even look like jumping, it looks like they're taking invisible elevator to the heavens!
My horse would never in a million years go over that !!!! Even if she was capable to jump at that height I wouldn't let any rider jump that wif her
I couldnt stop watching... thats so cool but sad when they fall...
i think its awesome how they just seem to slither over the walls..... :)
the horse isn't in any pain!
these horses are soo good at jumping because they ENJOY it. it takes an awful lot of trust and stamina to be able to jump the puissance, the horse can't see whats on the other side and has to have an amazing amount of trust in its rider for it to banish its fear of what may be lurking on the otherside! if any of those horses were unfit to jump it then they wouldnt be there. these horses are great at what they do because they love to jump. its clear to see.

i go riding and if horses dont want to do somthing, they dont. They chose to do it because they injoy the thrill of it as much as the rider
I risk it because he loves to jump. I wouldn't in a million years take it away from him. I don't push him either, he kinda pushes me. I think you need to look on the bright side, sure there are injuries and deaths but it's the best feeling in the world when you and your horse win something together.

Trop fort !!! ^^
jumping is an unnatural skill for horses, but these horses love it. horses are big and stubborn, and they wouldn't jump if they didn't want to... i know from experience... :P
jesus christ those jumps are ridiculously high. that's impressive, especially with a human on their backs
What I never would understand is how much trust a horse must have into his rider to jump over a wall he normaly would stop in front of Ôo
I always think "Weeeeeee!" when watching puissance!
