H&C can't stop watching the video of six-year-old show jumping zebra Zack - watch it below - and we've only just got over the show jumping cow that we reported on in April!
Sammi Jo Stohler of Oregan, USA, grew up hearing 'You can't train zebras, they're untrainable', and decided to prove the world wrong. She got her first zebra ten years ago and now has two zebras, Zack and Charlie, a zorse and a zonkey. She rides Zack frequently and drives Charlie.
Sammi Jo decided to start trying Zack over fences when he kept jumping out of his field.
“I had to build an 8' fence around the property because he kept jumping out,” she told Chronicle of the Horse. “He can clear 5' without a problem; he just walks up to a fence and ends up on the other side of it. I said, ‘I bet he can do it with a rider,’ and yep, it was no problem.”
Zack took quickly to the fences. “He’s large pony size, but he jumps very easily. The first time I pointed him at it, I just put it really low and showed him this is what we’re doing,” said Stohler. “And he said, ‘Oh yeah, I got that.’ He likes jumping, and going higher was no problem.”
