Jumping high

Why reach for the stars when you can jump? Huaso, a Thoroughbred stallion, set the worldwide unbroken record for jumping the highest...a jump that was 8 ft. 1 in. tall; the horse himself was 16.1 hands (about 5 1/2 feet at his shoulders)! He made the record on February 5th, 1949.

Here is one angle of Huaso jumping the 8 ft. 1 in. jump.
