Line 6:
* Happens in a [[Filler]] episode of ''[[Rurouni Kenshin]]'', where Kenshin rode a horse over several ''boats'' to jump on a ''moving train''. The horse quickly gained the [[Fan Nickname]] of "Super Horse".
* Occurs in ''[[Sengoku Basara]]''; [[Cool Old Guy|Takeda Shingen]] decided that jumping over a 100+ foot wall while riding ''two horses'' just wouldn't be cool enough... [[Up to Eleven|so he charged up the wall instead]], [[media:sengoku-basara-anime-demotivational-poster-1265569052.jpg|gravity be damned]].
** In the second season Masamune, Motochika and their armies pretty much ''fly'' over a ravine on horseback.
** All of the above is nothing compared to the acrobatics horses get put through in [[The Movie]].
Line 19:
== Film ==
* ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]] 2'' features [[Show Within a Show]] ''"Woody's Roundup"'' where he and Bullseye the horse jump over the ravine in order to get to Jessie and Stinky Pete. Unfortunately, the episode ends on a cliffhanger with the pair still in mid-air and the show got cancelled.
* In ''[[Star Trek Generations]]'', Kirk twice has his horse dramatically jump over a ditch. This is most likely an excuse to [[The Cast Showoff|show off]] [[William Shatner]]'s truly exceptional equestrian skills.
* [[Subverted Trope]] for laughs in ''[[True Lies]]'': [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]]'s character tries to follow the bad guy (who had made a motorcycle jump into a pool several stories down), but the horse balks and stops short, pitching Arnold off the saddle and almost to his death.
Line 35:
* ''[[Gone with the Wind]]'' makes a [[Tear Jerker]] out of a failed jump over a simple fence. {{spoiler|Or actually two, one with Scarlett's father and one with her and Rhett's daughter.}}
* In the final [[Time Scout]] book, Skeeter's horse jumps over a crashed wagon, but doesn't land well. In ''Wagers of Sin'', Skeeter jumps a horse over a small shrine, exciting the arena's crowd. Then he takes it [[Up to Eleven]] by standing on the horse's back and using a spear to pole vault over the wall, a moment of [[Horseback Heroism]].
* In ''The Saddle Club'', [[Alpha Bitch|Veronica]] had been showing a disregard for the Stable Owner's instructions concerning jumping and ends up breaking her arm, and causing her horse to suffer a fatal injury after running her horse too fast downhill for the jump.
Line 50:
== Video Games ==
* ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time]]'', with Link riding Epona and jumping the canyon in Gerudo Valley, and escaping the stables after beating Ingo.
* In ''[[Wild
* This comes up at the climax of ''[[Shadow of the Colossus]]''. Subversion - {{spoiler|the horse doesn't make it. Or rather, he did make it, but the ground gave away when he landed.}}
** {{spoiler|Though the ending cutscene reveals the horse survived the fall.}}
