The Leaping Horse is an 1825 landscape painting by the British artist John Constable.[1] 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.[2]
