Morgan Hightower and his friends created their own unique style of wakeboarding, with an equestrian twist.

Hightower filmed Emma Rushing and her horse as they cantered at speed along a canal bank, pulling a rope attached to Garrett Marchun on a wakeboard.

Incredibly, the creative setup worked as planned; Marchun was able to get to his knees on the board and enjoy the ride. Credit: Morgan Hightower via Storyful
