LIBERTY HILL, Texas -- The owner of High Jumpers Stable in Liberty Hill call their home "a zoo."

Leo, a triple registered stallion with four world championships, co-exists with other horses, donkeys, a young Brahma bull and a zebra, but Leo is stealing the show.

Leo is the 2011 Pinto Amateur World Jumping Champion, the 2010 Spotted Saddle Horse High Jumping Champ and the 2009 Missouri Foxtrotter World Jumping Champion. He also won more USEF jumping competitions than any other Missouri Foxtrotter or Spotted Saddle horse in history.

Lexi Ferrar has been training with the 14.3 hand horse. Ferrar said Leo continues to win even after competing against larger, 15 to 17 hand thoroughbreds.

"We went to a double a show. I rode him. He did clear a round at 3-1, and he got a blue ribbon, with all the big horses," Ferrar said.

Leo is believed to have made history with his four world championships in three breed associations.
