Description 3'6"

She does distance better than height I've discovered.  Height makes her nervous, make her go distance and she's all like "Bitch I got this."

Looks like you might need a taller fence, she's clearing that too!

Increasing the height makes her so nervous though.  She balked several times when i raised this jump 2".  She does distance like a pro and doesn't hesitate, but height makes her nervous.  She only started jumping 5 days ago, so for 5 days of working on it I think she's doing pretty damn good

I'm talking about the arena fence She's clearing that puppy with these jumps here! lol but yeah, I can see height making her nervous, however very happy you found something that keeps her interested!

OH! Yeah, I think with her even if we had a 5 foot fence she could easily clear it if she really wanted to xD

yeah, its amusing how they'll jump what we want them to jump vs. jumping the much smaller fence to escape to the pasture which is what they (she in particular) REALLY wants to do

I don't understand their logic, but whatever Like the little meme thing that says horses our friends but we keep them in cages to keep them from running away. ANY horse could clear 5 feet if they really wanted to. And most corrals, and pastures especially, have fences that aren't very tall

Right??  Only horse I would question making it over a 5 foot fence would be a little Shetland or something, but even then they could probably get over it if they really wanted to.  Hence why when applying for the Mustang Makeover Challenge and similar things to do with wild horses they require you to have SUPER high fences (don't remember if they were 6-7' or 10') so wild ponies who DO, REALLLLY want to get out aren't able to do so.
