Did you know an average horse stride is 9 -12 feet long? You can measure the distance between horse jumps by walking with large steps that measure approximately 3' each. This video illustrates jumper rider, Nick Stewart of Across Town Farm, measuring a jump that is 12' wide. You can see it takes him 4 steps to walk to the other end of the jump.
