Nick Skelton on Lastic - Record jump on 2.32 m

British high jump record of 2.32 m set in 1978 by Nick Skelton on Everest Lastic at Olympia, London. www.showjumpingnostalgia.com/

[@beelinekhan460]

This horse is ver differently build than jumpers today. He is strong and sturdy, full of muscles. Wonderful.

[@veranikakvitko9632]

No matter how many times I watch this, still feel anxiety when he approaches that jump! 2.32 meters is a pretty insane height for a horse to jump, it's amazing.

You sound like me! Notebooks and scrapbooks. I discovered the greatest show jumper, ever, in 1980.Sat in hospital after being hit by a car. He was in Pony magazine March 1980. He was my instant hero. Handsome and daring. Nothing has changed in over 44 years. He’s still handsome, he’s still my hero and although he doesn’t compete I bet he’s still dating!!

[@DVmathilda]

This is not animal abuse. Certain breeds are built for different purposes. Besides, horses are living breathing creatures - they also have a say. And them being much bigger and stronger than us, if they are unhappy or unable, they let us know. There are only selected horses in the world capable of jumping this high. It's all about how they are built, trained, their breeding etc. And btw, did you see him hit, chase or "bully" the horse over that jump? No. The horse has protection - called tendon boots (vital for jumping) on his front legs.

[@copper06loz]

@bronzekite A snaffle is one of the most basic, kindest bits you can use on a horse. It just shows that this horse either has a soft mouth and is responsive and doesn't pull his rider's arms out of their sockets! Some horses uses different bits such as pelhams for example as it's harsher and apllies more pressure in different areas so as to be more effective. And some horses have what's called a hackamore which has no bit at all. You'll never know everything about horses but its fun trying!!

[@LOLmistress]

I personally prefer using my leg rather than a whip, but there are times when a whip is needed. I know that sometimes, in racing particularly, the use of a whip looks almost violent. However, the manufacturers of whips understand that when the adrenaline is pumping, you are inclined to use the whip a bit more vigorously than usual. As a result, racing whips especially, the leather has been stuffed with foam so that it does not harm the horse. It is primarily the action that encourages movement.
