The Big Save


Last night while cleaning I found a photo sequence taken by my friend during the Spruce Meadows tour in Calgary about 2 summers ago. This particular event occurred during a 1.45m speed class, and was quickly dubbed the big save. You're about to see why.



That entire display of fuckery occurred entirely within 100 feet, without a circle, and yes, the last picture shows my horse jumping clear out of the line. These jumps aren't small, either; for those unfamiliar with the metric system, a 1.45m roughly translates to a solid 4'9".

And that, my friends, is what my poor horse has to deal with, and why Jimmy is the best horse EVER.
