Neigh! Another horse goes over a jump with the rider leaning back in his saddle. Have you ever wondered who changed that? Federico Caprilli! Caprilli had an interesting childhood, he had new ideas for changing horse jumping for good. But it didn’t come easy. Federico Caprilli made an amazing change for horses and it all started with his interesting childhood.
Federico Caprilli had an amazing childhood. He was born on April 8 1868 in Italy. Federico Caprilli went to a military college with no riding experience at the age of 14. His experience at the military college led to future inspirations for future inventions.
Some of Federico Caprilli’s accomplishments were his two inventions. One of his inventions was leaning over the horse’s neck when he or she jumped. His many accomplishments led him to getting a nickname, “Father of Modern Riding.” Even though he had many accomplishments he also had a lot of roadblocks and oxers to jump over.
Frederico Caprilli’s hardships were, as a child he had no riding experience. That was not the only roadblock he had, his new idea was turned down by a guy named Arnold Von Gunter. Also he was in war in 1888. His final and last hardship was falling of his horse and hitting his head on a sharp object on a footpath and had a deadly concussion while on his favorite animal, a horse.
