Hola hermanita. - ray76, Jun 7, 2015

Answer 1

Después de perfeccionar este, haremos el salto con pértiga.

After perfecting this, we will be doing the pole vault.

lol. - annierats, Jun 7, 2015

Answer 2

Antes de haber visto este vídeo, si alguien me habría hubiese preguntado "¿Cuándo veremos un caballo saltando la cuerda?" yo le habría dicho "Cuando los cerdos vuelan vuelen".

Before having seen this video, if someone had asked me "When will we see a horse skipping rope?" I would have said to them "When pigs fly".

Timepo, this time I think I that "le" is okay there. We'll see. ;) - bosquederoble, Jun 7, 2015

"Si alguien me hubiese preguntado" "Cuando los cerdos vuelen". - Erreqs, Jun 7, 2015

Gracias, Erreqs. :) - bosquederoble, Jun 7, 2015

Answer 3

Will the horse jump the rope? Yea or neigh?

¿El caballo saltará la cuerda? ¿Sí o no (relincho)?

(It doesn't work in Spanish--I know--but I couldn't resist.)

Good one. - gringojrf, Jun 7, 2015

"...¿relincha sí o nó?". - Soybeba, Jun 7, 2015

Lol - rac1, Jun 7, 2015

The winner for me! - annierats, Jun 8, 2015

Answer 4

¡Pobre caballo ! Está obligado a hacer ejercicios tan tontos.¡ Imagina si su pierna se engancha en la cuerda !

Poor horse! It is forced to do such dumb exercises. Imagine if its leg gets hooked up in the rope!

May I suggest: It is forced **to** do **such** dumb ..... - sanlee, Jun 7, 2015

'obligado a hacer ejercicios tan tontos..se enganchA en la... .) - Pablo064, Jun 7, 2015

¡Pobre caballo! Está obligado a hacer tontos ejercicios. ¡Imaginemos (imagina) si su pierna se engancha en la cuerda...! - Erreqs, Jun 7, 2015

Don't worry, Porcu, you can't force a horse to do these sort of things, you have to train it very carefully with encouragement. Horses are interesting, nervous, stupid but love exerting themselves, they are born atlethes. - annierats, Jun 7, 2015

Gracias amigos - porcupine7, Jun 8, 2015

Answer 5

Para que el caballo aprenda bien tenemos que hacer que su trabajo le parezca un juego .

In order for the horse to learn easily we have to make his work resemble play.

Maybe it should be parezca? - annierats, Jun 7, 2015

siii anniee 'parezca' ;) - Pablo064, Jun 7, 2015

'resemble' is a new word for me - Pablo064, Jun 7, 2015

Las gracias de siempre, Tiempo, where would we be without you? - annierats, Jun 7, 2015

Answer 6

Me gustaría más que se bajara del caballo y saltase, solito, a la comba. I should like more tan he lowers of horse and he jumps alone with the rope.

I would like it better if he got off the horse and jumped// skipped ( the rope) by himself. - annierats, Jun 7, 2015

If you say ' skipped' the verb sort of includes the rope. - annierats, Jun 7, 2015

I would like it more if he dismounts and jumps the rope himself :) - Raja-jani, Jun 7, 2015

Thanks :)) - Erreqs, Jun 7, 2015

@ Raji: I would like it better if he dismounted/ were to dismount.. This is the Engsish subjunctive, in so far as it still exists, it presents as a past tense. - annierats, Jun 7, 2015

I would tend to agree with Annie here. :) - bosquederoble, Jun 7, 2015

Answer 7

Dicen que saltar la cuerda es un buen ejercicio.

They say that jumping rope is good exercise.

Indeed, the rider's arms will get well exercised! - annierats, Jun 7, 2015

:) - sanlee, Jun 7, 2015

They say that you can hurt your knees too - Pablo064, Jun 7, 2015

Q, I think you need the preposition 'a' here: saltar A la cuerda :) - FELIZ77, Jun 7, 2015

saltar 'a' la cuerda sounds strange to me - Pablo064, Jun 7, 2015

Thank you everyone. - quantifier, Jun 9, 2015

Answer 8

Aparentemente, a los caballos les gusta saltar a la cuerda. No lo habría sabido si no hubiera leído este hilo hoy.

Apparently, horses like to jump rope. I wouldn't have known it if I hadn't read this thread today.

you forgot ...**known** it - sanlee, Jun 7, 2015

...a los caballos.. :) - Pablo064, Jun 7, 2015

Haha! All kinds of errors. - jphip, Jun 8, 2015

¡Gracias! - jphip, Jun 8, 2015

Answer 9

-¿No encontró mejor manera para apisonar el suelo? - Couldn't he find a better way to tamp ground down?

Couldn't he find a better way... :) - Raja-jani, Jun 7, 2015

Gracias, Rajaji - Soybeba, Jun 8, 2015

Answer 10

So much for, "You can lead a horse by a rope, but you can't make him jump" rope.

Tanto para, " Puede llevar un caballo por una cuerda, pero no puede hacerlo saltar", cuerdo.

Creo que lo que quieres decir sería: "Mitad y mitad, "puedes llevar un caballo por una cuerda (o persuadir a un caballo), pero no puedes hacerlo saltar", cuerda". No sé por qué el último "rope/cuerda, a menos que le estés hablando. - Soybeba, Jun 7, 2015

Thanks for the corrections of my stupid mistakes. - gringojrf, Jun 7, 2015

There is a saying "dicho" that goes like this...You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. I was doing a satire of this saying. - gringojrf, Jun 8, 2015

:-) - Soybeba, Jun 8, 2015

Answer 11

¿ Pueden hacer rayuela también ?

Can they do hopscotch too ?

:-) - Soybeba, Jun 8, 2015

Answer 12

Mi caballo es una potra. Claro que todas las hembras saben saltar la cuerda.

My horse is a filly. For sure all females know how to jump rope.

jaja! :) - jim5489, Jun 7, 2015

Answer 13

Sólo no trate de enseñarle Double Dutch.

Just don't try to teach him Double Dutch.
