WEG Social Media Corral: All Kinds of Jumping

As in, the kind you do with horses over obstacles, and the kind you do off of horses with flips to music (also called vaulting.) We’ll bring you the best of social media daily!

19-year-old horses competed too, apparently!

Valiant attempt, Norman.

Ah, yes, of course, it makes so much more sense now.

Today’s leader Bertram Allen and his picture-perfect mount Molly Malone V.

Eye-wateringly expensive horses dancing to Vanilla Ice/ Genesis medleys? Must be the World Equestrian Games. Loving every minute #WEG2014

Vaulting: a sport both for gymnasts who like horses, and people who are really good at lunging.

Vaulting: for the most athletic among us.

Australian vaulters demonstrating their excellent teamwork.

FEI, I’m not pleased that you are helping to continue this terrifying horse-mask trend.

Combined driving: four horses x three days = many chances for excitement.

Twitter and Facebook feeds continue to be dominated by #WEG2014 coverage. #iloveit
