Jumping Horses in Motion

Horses are pretty graceful for such big animals, a powerful stride and strong hind legs both contribute to their grace over fences.

Horses in Motion

The past few weeks I’ve been sharing my collections of horses in motion, giving each type of movement it’s own day to shine.

This week it’s all about jumping, regardless of what they are jumping most horses manage to do it in style. I come from a jumper background and I really appreciate the work (from horse and rider both) it takes to make it through a clear round.

Perpetual Movement

So far I’ve covered the motions of rearing, running, playing & bucking, and there are more to come.

Jump Away

For those of you who don’t know what it feels like to jump over a fence on horseback, hopefully these images will give you a feel for the motion.
