The Female Jumper Who Broke the Gender Barrier in the 1940s

Wow! Look at some of those jumps she took!

From the video link:

"Heralded as the greatest rider in late 1940s America, Jane Pohl competed against men without gender concessions and beat them. And she did it on a horse that was so unruly–and dangerous–he was going to be shot.

Jane Pohl’s courage and skill riding the equally remarkable Fitzrada broke barriers, including the prohibition against women being able to compete in the Olympics."
