Don't be silly, basically you can get off the horsey and go around the obstacle, but the this doesn't work for eg a pawn cause what are you going to do, split in two?

While is this technically possible, it takes too much time (about 2-3 turns depending on the size and fitness of the horsey).

That's what they don't tell you. "Horseys can jump, the Germans call them The Jumper." Yes, but at what cost?
