PUISSANCE

thrills and spills

[@tanjahuggenberger]

Die armen pferde :( -.-

[@patriciafischer9382]

sad to see that some people really think that this is amazing. It is so bad for their legs. poor horses.

[@mangomango2993]

Patricia Fischer this jumping should be forbidden

[@missemilytinkerbell]

These horses have heart, simply magnificent.

[@camperikaa]

This is the palpable proof about how far a horse can go because of his rider. Such a determinated heart!

[@Mauamone]

0:42 is there something wrong with my eyes or is he actually jumping bareback?

[@lasiadiaries2728]

no the saddle is the same color as the horse and there is no saddle pad for some reason.... o_o

[@schelichstar5001]

If you stop at 0:58 you clearly can see that there is no saddle or girth. The owners of the horse just had him or her clipped so that the longer hair would be under the saddle.

[@lasiadiaries2728]

Schelich Star Ah. now i see

[@celiaboulle3531]

pauvre chevaux!!! sa leur bouzille les tendons

[@poneydechloe2124]

d'accord avec toi !!

[@XXxxNellzxxXX]

This is just breath taking, horses are so amazing! At the end of the day they're still a wild animal, so why do they do these kind of things for us? Horses are unpredictable, but so reliable at the same time. Look at the bonds that these riders would have with their horses, it take a whole lot of trust and courage to get over jumps like those! :) xx

[@cshotter]

those horses have a heart of gold, crazy but they trust their riders so much to be able to happily do that

[@leonieneubauer5588]

wer ist aich gegen mächtigkeitspringen🙏💛

[@ilanaandrev9481]

Hey who ever makes the horse fall on a 9 foot jump you are crazy .Frst check with your local vet beacause my horse only can jump 7 feet and if it jumps any higher it can break its back so dont try it.

[@JosefineGreenForest]

The current Puissance world record is 7 ft 10 inches and was set in June 1991 in Chaudfontaine, Belgium by rider Franke Sloothaak on Optiebeurs Golo, These horses are trained and conditioned for it, so your one to judge.

[@sydneyequestrian7456]

WolfMoon huh. I thought it was 8,3? I must be mistaken

[@sydneyequestrian7456]

You might be the dumbest person alive

[@encanta411]

Those are maybe the highest jumps I've ever seen...what amazing partnership. And yes, horses are smart enough to know their own limits, and if they do not trust the rider, there's no way in hell they will jump anything. They will refuse the jump. So cool it!

[@vivienleigh1097]

My horse is an X olympic jumper named Sonatra, he used to jump this high and he loved it! he would jukp anything he could he absolutly loved it!

[@paulinestraub8962]

1 Chinesen reiten so unlogisch 2mächtigkeits springen is so ein scheiß

[@gojumpgirl101]

this video is amazing. i cant believe that horses can even do that! it makes the 4 feet jumpers look like beginners!!!!

[@smkhaury]

We cannot force the animal, but we can coerce him. Sometimes the horse doesn't know he is going to hurt himself. Sometimes he never crashes, but his joints wear out and he spends his old age limping around. My show jumping stallion Sutter's Showboy was a great soul, brave and noble. His ability and desire to jump was obvious from the time he was a yearling. He won many prizes, but I wish no one has ever asked him to push himself to the limit. The cost to him was too great.

[@KnoxBlondie]

Ouch, that third jump coming down made MY legs hurt. Beautiful horse. Peace everyone.

[@SHUET5151]

Most of these horses are worth more than most people will make in a year..there is no way they aren't receiving the best care possible

[@EveDarkAngel666]

you have to admit, it interesting seeing the horses that jump through the wall and just look happy afterward.

[@facetiousbadger]

If you watch them you'll notice the occasional crow hop, kick out of the hind leg, chewing the bit, and flicking ears. That means they're excited and want to work. They love this stuff.

[@RebeccaKW]

I think its absolutely fantastic how those horses can jump that high!

[@adeletenore1678]

oh my good that's incredible! this horses is very good and strong!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@AvrilFreak13]

these horses are definition of increadible!

[@bostonhorselover]

I noticed how the rider jumping this without a saddle has the most perfect position and keeps there hands in a short crest release on the landing. The others with saddles and stirrups for support yank the mouth on landing. Shows the difference one rider can make. Wish more of the riders were like him/her

[@TheDenverOmelette]

That grey horse "Yeah, you're funny. I jump, I don't fly!"

[@horseluver11201]

wow. the thing that amazes me most in this video is the heart. so what if they knocked some of it down? the thing is that they went in, gave it their all, and gave it to the rider. sure it's cool to see them make it, but the heart these horses have and give is incredible.

[@SmoothAngle]

Love horses. What a splendid animal !!

[@tom90900]

Wow this is amazing... such skill involved for not only the riders but the horses but I cringed every time they jumped... i hate watching them fall but still just wow

[@XTheXRagXDollX]

I've been riding for years, and have seen my fare share of scary shit, but to this day I still hold my breath when ever I watch this. Bravo to the brave riders and some of the most talented daring horses your ever gonna see. I'm gonna keep it to my 3 foot courses and my sunday trail rides, you guys keep kickin ass!

[@TheAmazingOlivia]

Guys think about it.... these horses absolutely LOVE what they do, they wouldn't do it otherwise. Horses like these don't jump cause they're being made to, they do it cause they want to, you cant force something thats 10x the size of you to do shit if it didn't want to! And as for the riders, they bloody love these horses to death, sure they may not own them but still have to ride for a considerable amount of time with them in order to build TRUST to do something like this.

[@user-oq7oe3pu5x]

это КРУТО!!! Я очень рада,что подписалась на этот канал!!!

[@olcia5432]

WOW. Its amazing

[@TheSLU1996]

Listen ppl horses are can be stubborn animals sometimes and if they didn't wanna do summin you'd kno about it these horses are clearly well looked after and ate enjoying what they are doing ( are there ears back? No) u can tell from a horses body lanuadge what they are feeling and these horses are loving it!! Watch as they approach the jump the pick up speed and perk up coz the just love it

[@marrylegs28]

The horse at 1:02 was like "Oh hell NO! You got another thing coming if you think im gonna jump that!"

[@MissingYourSmile]

The horse at 1.04 is just like "hell no! That jumps bigger than me!"

[@yohanadonaire]

QUE LINDO!!! PERFEITO! QUE AVENTURA!!!! *O* PARABÉNS, PARABÉNS!

[@facetiousbadger]

These jumps are really high, but only a handful of hoses in the world can do this sort of work. Horses can either jump these heights or they can't, and if a horse can't do this then there's nothing you can do to change that. You can tell from the horse's body language that they're really into what they're doing.

[@anitabm3]

OMG!!!! the rider without the saddel is what I call a really good rider! Omg :D

[@yasminlarni5010]

These horses are more than capable of jumping this height, its wether they want to or not. They are not exactly forced to jump it, they get 3 goes and if they cant do it they simply dont.

[@aurora20XX]

It looks like they're jumping over a paddock wall and into freedom... in a good way!

[@olacocakola9110]

brawo!!! dlatych którzy tak skaczą.........💖💕💞💓

[@TheWhisperWolf]

these horses are specifically bred and trained for this. They are absolutely capable of carrying a full grown rider through a large course of jumps taller then most of us here.

[@zulu59]

these people are professionals. they don't jump their horses like this all the time. even regular GP riders train over regular-sized jumps in order to not wear their horse down. and the horses are well-rested and taken care of after. trust me, these horses are PRIZED and are VERY well-cared for.

[@Elenaproductions]

Your horse can only be as brave as you are. -my show jumping motto The rider could be just as well as scared to do it, because they don't know if they will clear it, fall, get hurt, or their horse gets hurt.

[@jessicavacheresse670]

It's all very nice seeing horses jump that high, I'm sure they enjoy jumping that high by the looks of this horse 0:14 ...

[@SaraNightfire1]

I've seen horses free jump before without the rider's guidance or urging. They love jumping, they don't need a rider to urge them over it 90% of the time. If a horse is lame, they stop immediately. These horses are expensive, and ruining them would cost the owner a fortune. They also love these horses and take great care of them. I remember once a rider nearly fell of on a course and fought to pull herself up while moving her body in all different ways on her horse and he stood there.

[@gourgousponys1313]

I love watching horses jump and its so wonderful how high you can get these beautiful creatures to jump but i find it a bit sad that they jump WAY higher then the hight of the ride and horse put together.

[@elizabethaman4381]

Great video!

[@shanjen100]

They make it look so dang easy! I jumped like 1 1/2 ft. today and that almost jerked me out of the saddle. Im not a beginner rider either, just a beginner jumper. It's sooooo hard, and the bareback jump was just incredable!

[@missvoisines]

FANTASTIC !!!!

[@Babyoreokitty]

Amazing! Our Monty is 32 and still competes. He can jump 2'9". He is an amazing boy. He is also a rescue horse!

[@HorseshoeStables11]

omg that looks like it would be so much fun, i'd never be able to do any of those though :(

[@Kalesta]

Everybody who thinks human can't force a horse to do something he doesn't want to... well, we CAN! I've seen a documentary about a horse trainer, he trained horses to do stunts. He could litterally make a horse ran to a wall and let him hit the wall. Of course he didn't do that, cuz he usually let the horses ran into (sugar)glass. But it prooves that horses will do a LOT to please their owner, because they trust them.

[@wolfwing2012]

Some horses actually really love jumping (if people dont push them too hard) i cant wait until im jumping higher jumps !!!

[@anakin92]

just imagine, cantering up to a massive brick wall and going "well i'm not going the long way" -hops over- XD

[@TwoPointProductions]

those bareback riders are crazy. looove watching this!

[@YolandaFernandez1302]

AMAZING!!!!

[@saddleback101]

So true. That's awesome that your in a pre-veterinary track! I want to be a large animal vet when I get older:)

[@AnnieKeller]

Guys, it's not abuse. The horses are in top condition and love doing this. Any mistakes are the fault of the rider or of the horse knowing not to go beyond his abilites.

[@LiaRedsky]

0:42 thats cracy xD

[@DaddyLongLegsCompany]

STUNNING :-O

[@ArryandElle]

for those who think this is horrible to the horse. ITS NOT. It takes serious trust and courage in the horse and rider together. and only the horses that LOVE to jump would even attempt to go over it. The horses that take this jump on, do it for a living because they love it. I know because I have a mare that is like that. She lives to jump, even though we don't do it often, when she's out in the pasture, she'll jump over the creek and any thing big in her way...

[@emily82198]

the bareback jumper is amazin i could never be able to do tht!!!haha

[@ItsTheHood]

those horses are ATHLETES!!!

[@bearbearbethany]

my heart goes into my mouth every time I watch a horse jump that high

[@islandinspired2]

WOW just WOW!!!!!!

[@LIvEloVERiDe01]

I couldnt stop watching... thats so cool but sad when they fall...

[@horseisbeauty]

These horses (and riders) are atheletes and monitored with best nutrition and care.. To me, there is nothing more beautiful than a good horseman riding his horse. (that knows how..) it's rare around me.. You can't really make a horse jump.. If they *really* don't want to go, you have an obvious fight...

[@LilCupcake1121]

omigod those jumps are HIGH!!!!!

[@TaylorGene98]

The horse at 1:04 is like oh hell no! lol!

[@saddleback101]

It's not, but these horses obviously love it. They may have to quit jumping in a few years but it is still worth it

[@mtrenchFTW3]

0:47 that horse is beast.

[@Chut619]

i think its awesome how they just seem to slither over the walls..... :)

[@shakeAbooty88]

@ArryandElle You are absolutely right. The horses themselves are daredevils. They aren't forced to do anything, only encouraged. Over years of schooling many horses a few are picked for this type of event because they choose to do it. They are willing and get a lot of enjoyment out of it.

[@virginiehornez4361]

Trop fort !!! ^^

[@facetiousbadger]

Ty, and I'm glad to hear he's okay. I understand the worried mother perspective. My Mom wasn't so enthused when I brought the paperwork for her to sign. I'm just asking you to keep an open mind about this sort of thing.

[@sarahattar6857]

You can't force a horse to jump this height they do it cause they love it and it's such an amazing feeling for both the rider and the horse when they clear the jump the footing is really great too so the horses legs won't get hurt

[@lillyannamccue3233]

WOW!!! THEY. ARE . GOOD. I feel like i jump only a foot compared to them!!!!

[@Dienomyghtt]

Wowiee! These animals have skills.. I cannot imagine how brave those riders must be..o_O

[@jumpingstarr]

GO whoever that is who was bareback!!!!!! Puissance is awesome!!! :)

[@Justbecouik]

I hope that after horses are exceptionally rewarded! *heart*

[@TheMissWin]

I always think "Weeeeeee!" when watching puissance!

[@MILLA306]

This is amazing. Loyal creatures we're riding.. you need a really close bond with a horse to make it jump something that towers over you as you ride towards it - and the horse has no idea what's on the other side of it o.o

[@heyponypony]

Omfg. These horses are ninjas. Whose joints will be dead by age 8.

[@cameuille]

Lol ! J'était trop consentrée et j'avencait la tête quand il sautaient au ralenti genre "vas y...! Gagne !!" Mdrr' !! Pouce vert ! ^^

[@Santner25]

WOW that's insane!

[@TheChopsinator]

Some horses do jump for their own fun- I had a horse I couldn't trust in a six-foot pipe enclosure. He delighted in jumping it. Also, no, you cannot bully a horse into doing this. They rear, they kick, and if you piss them off enough, they will throw themselves down (sometimes over backwards) and crush the rider. You cannot force a horse to do anything unless you physically overpower it, and that usually takes several people working together to accomplish.

[@facetiousbadger]

I work at a decent sized Warmblood stable that breeds them. Part of my job is to nd give medicine. The only horses who get any sort of pain meds are either older and it is natural to have that happen, have an acutre jjust needs some time , and other a few who hurt themselves at various ponts, non competition related. I'm telling you again: look at their legs. Accidents happen, but the reasons you only see WArmbloods in these shows is that thy are sturdy as well as fast They long sturdy legs

[@karenlucasbadders]

My horse would jump that high without being 'forced into it'. We put his favorite mare in another paddock and he jumped the our 6 foot fence with ease. (The fences are that high because he used to jump out more often. Guess we will be adding another row of boards to the top this week).

[@jessicacampbell3100]

Oh my theese makes my jumps look like nothing lol

[@saddleback101]

I risk it because he loves to jump. I wouldn't in a million years take it away from him. I don't push him either, he kinda pushes me. I think you need to look on the bright side, sure there are injuries and deaths but it's the best feeling in the world when you and your horse win something together. It brings out the best in both of us and the pride and love we feel for each other is undescribible. Jumping bring us closer and we both love it. THAT is why I risk him in this "dangerous" sport.

[@shadowfaxx1]

Amazing animals!

[@tahlitas5993]

haha I hold my breath at every jump!!

[@goldcooper1]

Horses legs are perhaps the most vulnerable part of their body. The impact on landing is incredible as is the pressure required on push off. Will the horses do it, obviously yes, but not because they "love it". They are trained and follow their trainer no matter what. Is it physically good for them? NO. And yes I do own horses and yes I have seen what strain and impact can do to their legs and bodies.

[@Horse4LIFE003]

i get some of the horses like doing this, but i love jumping. and i feel like i would never want to jump THAT high

[@CallMeSnowshoe]

that´s unbelieveable

[@EllisE373]

My horse would never in a million years go over that !!!! Even if she was capable to jump at that height I wouldn't let any rider jump that wif her

[@facetiousbadger]

The WArmblood stable I work at has several high caliber jumpers who have jumped at shows higher than our fencing, but they never rtry to escape. Horses are lazy except when stud smells a mare in heat. Barrel Racers don't run in clover leaf pattern, dressage horsse dont collect, reining horses don't slide. So your horse jumping that high is perfectly fine.

[@HorseLuverTheMost]

whoa, GREAT HORSE and rider

[@kellyclark8244]

BUT CAN YOU IMAGINE GALLOPING UP TO A JUMP THAT IS BIGGER THAN YOUR HORSE LIKE OH MY GOD THATS AMAZING

[@98horseymad]

THIS ARE MOOHOSIVE !!!!!!!!!!!!
