I have done that in the opposite direction.  And I had to pick my feet up to Savanna’s shoulders.  That gap is exactly the width of Savanna’s tummy.

Can you believe it was 8 years ago!!


This was Korbel's first time through the Gap. Loretta has a hip that won't let her lift her legs and she was worried she would get hurt on the walls. But, both made it through fine. The lead horse balked halfway through! And the rider had her legs lifted high. When she tried to kick her horse, she couldn't! 🤣 Finally, swatted him on the butt and he proceeded through.

so I guess it would be great if your horse was tall and skinny-you might not have to be so limber to get through  ;D
