Saint Greg said
Yes. A horse jumps. A frog leaps. I feel like the leap is bigger.

Feelings aside. Let's consider the facts.

The world record long jump was set on April 26, 1975, by a horse named Something ridden by a Mr. Andre Ferreira. This pair jumped a distance of 28 ft.

Participants entering the longest-jumping frog were to win a $750 prize, or $5,000 if their frog were to break the 1986 record of 21 feet 5+3⁄4 inches, set by "Rosie the Ribeter."

While the word Leap may Feel bigger than the word Jump, it appears that when comparing Horses to Frogs it's just the opposite.

Now wouldn't it have been Something had Rosie taken a dose of Ex Lax before Leaping. She might have Leapt a little Farter.
