GV, re: "Equestrian Jumping must be the most difficult sport." Polo. Never figured how they even hit the damn "ball". But in both, the horse does 90% of the work. John (actually I read an article once that said jockeys were the best athletes)

You're dealing with a live animal, it's got to be more difficult to control than an inanimate object. As the owner of two horses myself, I can answer that with an emphatic YES! Of course, my breed preference only amplifies that difference... Equestrian Jumping must be the most difficult sport. Don't do jumping myself, but it's certainly not easy. You're working with a 1000-1500lb animal with all of the normal herd animal instincts and fears, and trying to get him or her to jump over objects which are 6' tall... without knocking them down... within the time limit.
