I had to supply a lot of footage that they required over the last few weeks, I had to go back and revisit and relive many, many memories. Six weeks ago out of the blue I was contacted by The Guinness World Records to say they would like to verify and recognise my record as it had received so much support and attention worldwide. I can now see how crazy it was riding two completely different horses over two completely different jumps and to do it on the same day was extremely ambitious, to say the least. I had to dig deep mentally but my trusty steed had to do so much more! To date, this is the most difficult thing in my life I have ever attempted.
Then I mounted SIEC Oberon to attempt 6’5″ (1.98m) over the triple bar. Below, Beemat takes a look at the art of vertical jumping amongst mammals currently living on our planet and which mammals can jump the highest. The horse threw his heart over, followed by his body and all I had to do was give him encouragement and hang on.
The relief of landing clear over 6’8″ (2.07m) was and still is indescribable. We jumped a few walls before the big one. He fed me confidence and I fed him bravery. This horse had jumped to the top level internationally and was the ultimate schoolmaster. On the day I rode SIEC Atlas over the wall. I needed a saddle that was short and light so my horses could release behind and for me, I needed a saddle that had not much support as I was relying on my balance and core to keep me in the plate-a real balancing act! I had only got the right side saddle two weeks before.įinding the right saddle was a major struggle. One of the greatest women’s high jumpers in history is Iolanda Balas. The Cuban great set the current high jump world record of 2.45m in 1993 and is the first man in history to jump over 8ft.

On the 24th of October 2013 I had videographer, photographers, FEI officials, HSI officials and personal friends present to witness my attempts.

Javier Sotomayor won Olympic gold at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. The news was disappointing, but at this stage I was too involved in my vision to back out. The Record is still held today by Captain Alberto Larraguibel on Huaso in Chile in 1949. The current world record for men was set at 2.45 meters by. In 2012, I contacted the Guinness World Records to see if they would verify my record but unfortunately they only had a category for The Horse that jumps the highest, whether ridden by man, woman or child, frontwards or backwards. The high jump has been a permanent fixture for men at the Olympic Games since 1896, while the womens event was first introduced in 1928. I was at the bottom of the barrel mentally, physically and financially. The attempt was scheduled for the 24th of October 2013. Well, the reality was very different: Two years training, five days a week, many horses, many life lessons, and over 40 side saddles.
