I've been working at the same barn for a while now and when my Coach asked the stable hands if we would jump her horses for her. We couldn't resist.

A scenic leap... 11/21/2008
 

"So here's the skinny on this scenic leap:
 Me and some friends were having a jolly ol' evening down by the beach (Spanish Banks, Vancouver if you must know) when the sunlight started to dwindle creating quite a sunset.... soft cool sand, a beautiful background, an acrobatic buddy and camera and flash at the ready, could there be a better time to jump? I should think not, and while you're in the air why not throw in a backflip for extra flair. So here's my favorite leap, hope you enjoy it."

We loved all of the submissions and we will be asking for another favorite jump in the upcoming months. Take care and jumplove to all.
