JUMPING PARAMETER ANALYSIS OVER A TRIPLE BAR IN YOUNG SPORT HORSES
2013
Flavia Bochis
There are a lot of obstacles type used in jumping competitions. Normally, for every kind of fence, there is a different type of approaching and cross over. The most used obstacles are the vertical fence, the oxer fence and the triple bar. For crossing over the vertical, which is a high fence, the horse must jump only in report to the height of the bar. In the large obstacles case (oxer or triple bar), the horse must jump related to the height and the largeness of it indeed. The triple bar is an even greater obstacle than the oxer. It consists of three verticals and has a spread between each of the verticals. That is why the triple bar is the widest obstacle of the three types described. Many riders don't like this horse jump because it can look intimidating, but the fact is that most horses find it to be fairly easy. The investigation was made on a triple bar jumped in two schedules. The purpose was to measure four parameters for every jump: the taking-off distance, the landing distance, and the distance between bar and legs for the front limbs and for the hind limbs looking to some training aspects, and their influence indeed.
