Another Jumper



As promised, here we see the second horse running through the paces at the jumps. As you see the horse standing still, then beginning to move into the jump and finally launching itself above and across the barrier, the power and grace are just phenomenal. After the horses warm up, the first jumps are low and narrow, but they become wider as well as higher as the demonstration continues.
The ease with which these wonderful animals jump and land, powering their massive bodies over the barriers along with their riders, was the most memorable moment of a fine Sunday afternoon at Danada. Our next post will be there for one more look.

Feel free to let me know what you think. It is exciting to think that some of my photography might be enjoyed by others.
