My Horse Jumped A Cow!!

TBxQH · 07-15-2008, 01:29 PM

Alright, I know I shoulden't be jumping my boy just yet, for the point we are in training. But I got the 'Okay' from the vet to play around. His legs are clean and he is 100% recovered from the kick injury last year. He is still learning his leads, learning to move off my leg and all that. He's 6 years old.

So, I saw the cow..and I thought.. what the heck. Why not! This is going to be a test, to see if he will jump anything out in the xc course

So, what do ya think? I wish his ears were forward..

I'd have to say it's a good start especially if he's still in training. Is he a spooky horse? Most horses I've seen won't go over anything like that!

It's a beautiful horse though.

Funny

Cappysmom · 07-15-2008, 01:44 PM

Oh My Gosh, that is amazing. My horse would have saw the cow and I would have been the only one going over it.

TBxQH · 07-15-2008, 01:44 PM

From the year or so that I've had him, hes never spooked at anything!! So I've been testing him with everything I can think of! He goes on the road with cars, goes to the beach with dogs and little kids swarming everywhere! I haven't found anything yet!

Woohoo that's a great picture! I know very little of jumping but I know for sure that the majority of the horses at my barn wouldn't come within 10 feet of that cow, let alone jump over it. Good job!

Looks like a future x-country machine to me! You're looking at it more than he is!

and dressage and english and probably western pleasure horse

i cant wait to get her home.

That is an awesome picture, a great compliment to your training, I can see many horses refusing to go anywhere near that cow, fantastic job.

Only way to make it better..................be looking out between his ears over the jump, not down at the jump

Carri · 07-15-2008, 03:27 PM

Wow, that's pretty cool!!

alliebath · 07-15-2008, 03:37 PM

Wonderful! My horses couldn't be dragged up to that very scarey cow!

Sassy · 07-15-2008, 03:53 PM

Wahoo... Looks like fun. He seems to be ok with jumping over a cow... Haw haw haw haw... From your thread title I was thinking it maybe a roping gone wrong or something

... He is a beautiful horse!

Amrwmblds2 · 07-15-2008, 04:08 PM

Well my boss has a Dutch mare, who she just recently took to Groton House 1 and 11 and competed in Prelim. She went over some INCREDIBLE combinations, but I know for a FACT she wouldnt be caught dead anywhere near that cow!

So I saw your boy is off to a good start!

I also agree with rm185- they always say, look where you want to go! The ground is certainly not it!

Also shorten your stirrups a hole or two and loosen up that breastplate

(dont mean to nitpick- just suggestions!)

Great picture! It's not every day you see a horse jump a cow

ahlihaff · 07-15-2008, 05:23 PM

Great photo. At first, I thought it was a joke and the cow wasn't real.

arabiancowgirl · 07-15-2008, 06:04 PM

My horses would have to be pulled by a bulldozer to get near that cow

Crookedblaze · 07-15-2008, 06:07 PM

LOOOL!

That is soo funny.

Duckie0370 · 07-15-2008, 09:25 PM

Ok, now take it the other direction so your horse is LOOKING at the cow's face and let us know what happens

TBxQH · 07-15-2008, 09:55 PM

Thanks for blowing my cover Duckie!!

Haha, thats our next adventure!
