Zebra thinks it’s a horse, rides and jumps like one

First there was Luna the cow who jumps fences and now, from Texas, we have Zack the Zebra who also thinks he’s a horse. Owner Sammi Jo Stohler says she decided to train her 6-year old pet zebra to jump because he kept jumping out of his paddock.

Sammi explained:

I could see Zack was very athletic so I thought I’d try him on some show jumping fences and he loved it

The first step was getting the striped beauty used to having a rider on his back. Once that hurdle was overcome Zack took his first jump over a fence without a second of hesitation. Now he’s clearing fences 2ft and 8inches high.

Will Zack make it to the Olympics? Who knows, but it’s nice to see a zebra expanding his horizons.
