Huaso (horse)
Huaso (1933 – August 24, 1961) was a horse that, ridden by Chilean Captain Alberto Larraguibel, set the high-jump world record on February 5, 1949, by jumping in Viña del Mar, Chile, one of the longest-running unbroken sport records in history, at 70 years. Huaso was born in Chile in 1933, and was originally named Faithful. He started as a race horse, but never achieved good results because he was too nervy and unruly. After six years of failure, the horse was purchased in the early 1940s by Chilean Army captain Gaspar Lueje, who thought he could be trained for Dressage. When Faithful was just starting his training he suffered an accident, impaling himself on the back quarter, and almost having to be put down. The horse eventually recovered, but acquired a slight limp in the left hind, which effectively put an end to any chances in that discipline. As a last option he was moved to show jumping. Faithful still retained his potency, but nonetheless, he was still too nervy and d ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
