Photo Challenge: 13 Horses Celebrating Leap Day

Monday was Leap Day, the extra day that comes around only every four years. The equines of Horse Nation jumped at the opportunity to celebrate.

For this week’s 24-hour photo challenge, we decided to celebrate the 2016 Leap Day the best way we knew how: gathering photos of your horses leaping into the air! Here are 13 horses that can’t be kept down.
