Leaping Horses That Arc Unafraid 



Though horses usually hesitate to jump over obstacles 

 near human beings, the horse of a United States Army 

 lieutenant jumped over a mess table surrounded by 

 soldiers. He showed no hesitation, and did not upset 

 even the bottle of sauce or pitcher of coffee on the table 

 though they were dangerously near the flight of his heels 



At right, a feat of horseman- 

 ship not without an element 

 of danger to both horse and 

 rider. The illustration be- 

 low shows "Rabbit," a priv- 

 ately-owned horse of Wash- 

 ington, D. C, hurdling a high- 

 powered racer without making 

 a scratch in its white hood
