JUMPS !!!!!

Be Sure to Scroll Down this page for 100 Great Pictures of the Incredible Jumps at Longacres!

Back to “Tour”

Welcome to the “Our Jumps” page on the Longacres website. Spectacular jumps are an important part of who and what we are. Some riders come to Longacres telling us their only goal is to “jump those jumps in the pictures”! There is much more to the Longacres riding program, but we’ll accept the compliment on the jumps.

Our jumps are not “show pieces” used only for the best riders, though I’ll admit that in lots of the posted pictures, good riders are featured jumping high. We build all our specialty jumps specially so that they can be set very low and used by riders with very modest experience. In every session, nearly every rider gets to jump courses on our dramatic show field by the end of their stay. You will jump some of these special jumps nearly every day while “migrating” from one ring to another during a lesson.

Video of Jumps

Scroll down this page, first to large pictures of the most dramatic jumps. Then to thumbnails showing many more views of our jumps (click on these for larger pictures). Be sure to also check this video link to a YouTube clip of our horse Whitley doing all our great jumps during the summer of 2010. The video is available in HD if you have a good broadband connection.

At the bottom of the page you’ll find this link to a video clip of a less experienced rider in our small show ring. We have a large grass Show Jumping field, a smaller enclosed grass & sand show ring, a dressage ring, two grass training rings, and a large sand schooling ring.
