    No I am so far from knowing nearly it all!!!!!

    let me try some questions from a different perspective!!!!

    What do you call a jump that has a certain height (say 5'3")
    but also has a spread varying in 3 heights from front rail,middle rail to back rail...(front and back being equal height)?????

    How many faults do you incur in show jumping if a horses' hoof Touches the water in a water jump????

    What is the name of a spread jump where the outside rails are heigher than the center of the jump????

    What do you call the items you place on a shoe of a show jumper just to be used while in the ring competing,to insure that they do not slip?????

    For a spooky horse in the jumper division that "Sees' Shadows on the ground" what piece of tack could you place on his bridle to help prevent him from seeing those dreaded shadows????

    O.K....I have to ask this....Does anyone know the name of the Famous horse show announcer(N.Y.,L.A. and Atlanta Games)
    that also won the Florida Lottery last year...to the tune of sharing 70.0million???? (about 28.0 mil. each!!!!) and what was his earlier claim to fame????

    thats' enough for now!!!!

    Hey Delidog, I'm going to have to do some research for some of the questions but I will try a couple.
    Are the jumps Oxers or In and Outs or Combinations?
    Is it 4 faults for touching the water on a water jump?
    Are you talking about those rubber cups that fit over the horses feet to protect them? I forget the name of them.
    I think I know what the spooky horse thing looks like a fringe over the eyes maybe or blinders?
    Gee, did I just answer every question with a question?
    Maybe they were a little hard and you scared off the other horse people!
    RIP sweet Samantha

    I'm sorry...I really did try to think of easier ones.....
    in answer to you....yes, they are oxers...anything with any kind of spread is an oxer...the first is called a hogsback oxer...as it is one height in front,then higher in the middle,then the back rail is same height as the first...(they usually take it down with their hind feet as they cannot see the back rail,the second is a swedish oxer...being of equal height on the outside and lower in the center forces them to jump straight...

    For a foot in the water it is 3 faults...it is not a rail down...but is still infringing with the jump....

    the items placed on the shoes are called Caulks"...they are like an athletes cleats on their shoes...so they dig into grass or mud for traction...wet grass can be like ice....especially first class of the morning...just helps them get their footing...

    on their bridles for spooks...you can use what is called a "Shadow Roll"....it is a piece of fleece that wraps around the noseband(Cavesson) they can't see over it so they soon forget about those Nasty shadows on the ground....

    O.K.
    Last one...(I thought that this was the only hard one)....but I thought that you might get it,to this day he is still the announcer at Ox Ridge....
    Peter Doubleday!!!!!
    Great man...grandson of Mr. Abner Doubleday....Baseball guru!!!!

    he won the lottery last year...was working hard last weekend..announcing at Wellington!!!!

    I really didn't mean to make them too hard....i'll go back and find some easier ones.....
    I'll try harded this time!!!!

    Since you guys liked that so much here is some more info on them!
    This is the website that I got those 2 photos from, there are more great photos of the different "Airs Above the Ground".
    http://www.lipizzan.net/index2.html
    Here is another website and some photos from it
    http://www.imh.org/imh/bw/lip.html

    Can you believe that the horses are born black and take 5 to 8 years to mature and turn white!
    I did get to see them the summer before last and you can visit their stalls after the show. They are the sweetest most loving horses!
    Another funny thing at their show was the man who works with the horses also has a couple of dogs who keep going in the ring and begging for attention, they become part of the show too!

    One more question for YLL, Do you know what breed of horse Shadowfax from the Lord of the Rings II is?
    It is related to Lipizzans and there is even a link to the breed on one of the websites I just posted.

    Shadowfax is an Andalusian (sp?). Read it in my Lord of the Rings Filiming the Movies book about a month ago.
