funny story, but it's not a really high jump. Actually, it's not even jumping. Watch how the front legs hit the ground before the hind legs jump

Now compare that with this:

(no that's not me in the pic, I'm not even at the lowest competition level yet)

So you are saying that the jump is not very high. Would you say the jump the cow made was calf as high as one for a horse?

Well first of all I'm saying it's not even jumping. If you compare it with horse jumping, I guess it would indeed beef about half as high. (highest I've jumped myself is a little over 1m I guess, competition jumping usually doesn't go much higher than 1.60)

But all of that of course doesn't mean this isn't very impressive

Somebody gets this girl a proper horse......







I mean this . . . .horse is of nature this is of power. . . .much better. I mean there's more than 500 horsepower in this one alone, dividing it, is the problem. I'm sure not even the mighty Pharaoh had anywhere near 500 horses pulling his chariot so if you met him in on of these you could smoke him.





Okay maybe not that but this
