The Leaping Horse

The Leaping Horse is an 1825 landscape painting by the British artist John Constable. It portrays a scene on the River Stour in Constable Country. A tow horse pulling a barge is shown leaping over one of the cattle guard barriers erected to stop cattle wandering. It was one of the large "six-footers" he produced from 1819 onwards.

It was displayed at the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition of 1825 under the simple title of Landscape. It is now in the collection of the Royal Academy having been acquired in 1889. A full-sized preparatory study for the painting is in the Victoria and Albert Museum.
