Horse long jump at the Paris Olympics (May 29th, 1900).

This one-time Olympic event was won by Belgium's Constant van Langendonck and his horse Extra Dry, with a distance of 6.1 metres. The Olympic record for the human long jump at the time, however, was 6.35 metres (America’s Ellery Clark at the 1896 Olympics).
