There are two types of water jumps used in show jumping: Open Water: a large, rectangular-shaped "ditch" of water, often with a small brush (18") or a rail on one side to act as a ground line. Water jumps are one of the widest obstacles a horse will be asked to jump, with a width up to 16 ft.
Although horses do not need to have a very "round" jump—indeed, large bascule is often detrimental to an event horse while on cross-country because it wastes energy and time, and also makes certain jump efforts, such as drop fences, bigger than they really are—the horse should have a safe jump, with the forearms parallel to the ground or ...
A horse free jumping. The airborne phase of the jumping process occurs between stance phases of the fore and hind limbs and is therefore biomechanically equivalent to a highly suspended or elevated canter stride. [citation needed] For this reason, horses typically approach obstacles at the canter. The jumping process can be broken down into ...

The cross-country portion of an eventing competition, the primary venue at which rotational falls are an issue in equestrian sport. The cross country phase of eventing presents a course of obstacles that the horse and rider must navigate through to the finish line, these obstacles are solid and unforgiving (photos below show examples of jumps on a course).
The path this horse takes through the air is an arc. Bascule / ˈ b æ s k juː l / is the natural round arc a horse's body takes as it goes over a jump. The horse should rise up through its back, stretching its neck forward and down, when it reaches the peak of his jump. Ideally, the withers are the highest point over the fence.
An example of a rider in jumping position. The jumping position is a position used by equestrians when jumping over an obstacle, involving a combination of both a "forward seat" and "2 point" position. [1] [2] A rider in jumping position has their body centered over the horse's center of gravity and the saddle.
The Horse in Motion studies are commonly regarded as a pinnacle in the development of motion picture media (although dates, titles, and pictures from different periods are often mixed up in statements about Muybridge's influence). Jordan Peele's 2022 film Nope made reference to Plate 626, published in Animal Locomotion. The film's main ...
