I love animals. My ultimate favorite animal of all is the horse. They all look so beautiful and elegant. I love them so much that I’m even taking equestrian lessons. I’m now learning to do horse jumps. In show jumping, horses jump over various hurdles called horse jumps.

There are many kinds of horse jumps. Some horse jumps are brush boxes, gates, cavalleti, planks and poles, etc. Horse jumping is scary. You and your horse need to trust each other. If not, serious accident can happen. I’ve seen accidents where the horse hesitated and stopped. The end result, the riders goes flying in the air over the hurdle. It’s not a pretty site.
