Well...I went and kicked another bees nest yesterday. (((SURPRISE))) LOL......and it was all because I frowned upon jumping a Percheron (3 course in a ring). Seriously folks.....drafts were not designed to be jumpers....they were meant for long steady trots, at most, and pulling. Understanding the concussion that happens during jumping, just multiply that by twice what normally would occur in an average jumper weighing in at 1100 lbs. The torque on joints/bone/tendons.....really amazing. Sure, you can get away with doing it with a draft for a bit, but ringbone is a reality for many many drafts that NEVER jump....so why ask for it!!! Just my brain, working over time. If we dont educate, then what is the point! Some just dont actually think about what they are doing. Rant over.horsenation/2013/02/28/video-du-jour-london-olympic-show-jumping-in-slow-motion/
