    You're going to need to mod the horse a bit to get there:

    Light weight low profile shoes--reduces unsprung weight.

    93 or higher grade oats, no ethanol--anything less and you may get some pinging.

    Reduced weight corner balanced and cross weighted saddle.

    And I'd think about dyno tuning the horse prior to the attempt to maximize HP.....

    :lol::lol::lol:

    Trust me, she is fully modded with the equine version of almost all the things you suggested. Did I mention she is my JCW? :D

    At a height of 3' 9" and a width of 3' 4", counting take off and landing distance, coupled with the arch to clear the top, the riders head would be 10' in the air, while traveling a horizontal distance of 10' from take off to landing.

    In this case it is the driver that needs a bit more training. :yesnod:

    In this case, (and considering who the rider will be), as my mother used to say "he needs his HEAD examined" :biggrin5:

    :lol::lol::lol:

    It is funny how many people actually think that, but the rider had better be driving and the horse had better be listening, or it could get really ugly. That is why I'm still in training. :Thumbsup:
