Here is another interesting video from Horse & Country.
I have always been taught that the horse cannot see the jump in the last stride (another good reason not to screw around and 'fix' things at the last second). This video says that they can see the jump, but depth perception and focus are limited. Either way, it is always useful to know what your partner is doing.
That's really odd about the horse losing focus close up like that. I learn new things visiting with you. ;)
