I know for sure that all of you have watched a showjumping performance at least once in your life, If not in person, on YouTube or TV. These performances are one of the favorite things that I like to watch during my free time. The way how the performers together with their horse move around and surprise us all with their outstanding moves is something that captivates you in. The whole performance seems very short because you can’t get enough of it after it starts.
It really shows hard work between horses, performers, and trainers who spend a lot of time rehearsing for the day that they will perform because everything needs to be perfect. It becomes even more difficult when you have set high expectations in the public because they were impressed by your performance in the past so you either have to keep the same level and even surpass it.
In showjumping, we are used to seeing horses but the video below proves that there are other animals who can be really good at it as well. We already spoiled it for you in the title, it is going to be a showjumping bull, however, there are a lot of surprises during the video that I will not spoil for you. This superstar bull was saved from the slaughterhouse is mesmerizing crowds with his showjumping and dressage skills.
Five-year-old Aston, nicknamed ‘le taureau’, is a very unique animal – capable of doing things previously unbeknown to bullking. Horse trainer Sabine Rouas, from Strasbourg, France, adopted Aston when he was only one – saving him from slaughter. Sabine turned the helpless calf destined to become veal meat into an agile adult bull with a fashionable tuft of curly hair – teaching him alongside jumping horse pal Samy.
As you can see, Aston has been through a lot in his life but thanks to his trainer who saved his life, now he is enjoying the success of a superstar and I believe he is definitely living his best life. I have already seen some of his performances and they are all great. Below, you will be able to watch only sequences from them however, you can easily find the other performances by searching about him online. Let us know what you think about this amazing bull after you have watched the video below.
