I haven't seen this myself yet, but the yard manager and my OH have - !
Our two boys are out on the yard's professionally built cross country course, performing the role of lawn mowers. When the yard manager was hacking past the course, she saw Roupert taking himself OVER THE JUMPS ALL ALONE. She told the OH, who waited round and saw exactly the same thing!
The amazing thing about this is not only are the jumps big and solid, but Roupert has NEVER been taught to jump in his life AND HE HAS ONLY ONE EYE!
Who says Arabs can't jump? If only I could find a jockey for him (I am too old and fat!) we could do some flag flying at local shows this summer!
Proves that some horses really love to jump, and Arabs love to play Would love to see photos, but you'd probably have to watch for days with a camera at the ready to catch him at it .
