Jumping past a dead guy has to be the ultimate test of event horse bravery, right? Photo by Leslie Wylie.
This post may be billed as a “Who Jumped It Best?” showdown — and we’ll get around to that eventually — but really I just wanted to take you guys for a tour around one of Rebecca Farm’s most over-the-top cross country masterpieces, the Western Village.
Let’s have a look around:

The Training competitors were asked to jump the most perilous obstacle of the lot, in my opinion: “The Gallows.” The B element table is straightforward enough, but the dead dude dangling to the right of it? That ain’t no jump judge.
Nonetheless, all the Training Three Day horses I watched come through all tackled it like champs. Who jumped it best? Choose wisely, because you know what we do with the riffraff around these parts.
(Just kidding. Everyone is a winner and no one is getting sent to The Gallows — at least not today.)
