The Papo Jumping Horse with Rider figure features a horse in mid-leap, with its front legs tucked as it clears an invisible jump. The horse’s body is sculpted with incredible attention to detail, showing the tension in its muscles, the flowing motion of its tail, and the focused expression on its face as it leaps over the obstacle. Includes a clear stand for posing the figure in a jumping pose.
The rider, dressed in full competition gear—helmet, riding jacket, and boots—hovers confidently over the saddle, maintaining perfect posture with the reins held firmly but gracefully in hand. The figure’s tack, including the saddle, bridle, and reins, is accurately designed to reflect the standard equipment used in real show jumping events. The colors are meticulously applied, with natural hues on the horse and realistic shading on the rider's clothing, adding to the lifelike quality of the piece.
Horse measures approximately in inches:
5.5 L x 5.5 H with Rider.
Show jumping is a popular equestrian discipline that tests the horse and rider's agility, accuracy, and speed as they navigate a course filled with jumps. The rider must guide the horse through a series of obstacles, which may include verticals, oxers, and combinations of jumps that require careful planning and precise timing.
In show jumping, the horse must not only have the physical ability to clear obstacles but also the mental composure to respond to the rider's commands in high-pressure situations. Horses trained for this sport are known for their strength, speed, and ability to adjust their stride mid-course to approach each jump at the optimal angle. Riders, on the other hand, must master the art of balance, control, and communication. They need to anticipate how their horse will react to the jumps and adjust their approach accordingly.
