Colonel Alberto Larraguibel Morales (May 30, 1919 - April 12, 1995) was a Chilean Army officer born in Angol, Chile. He remains as the record holder for Puissance (high-jump) on Horseback, one of the longest-running unbroken sport records in history -- 64 years as of 2013.
Captain Larraguibel broke the record for the "high-jump" at 2.47 metres (8.1 ft), riding Huaso ex-"Faithful", at the Official International Event at Viña del Mar, Chile on February 5, 1949. The Committee of Records[who?] ratified this record on May 28, 1949 and stated that a height of at least 2.49 metres (8.2 ft) must be cleared to beat it.
Larraguibel died in Santiago, Chile at the age of 75.

Hey Google, who gives a crap about Mary Leakey's birthday. What did she ever do to really benefit mankind. You should have honored Ronald Reagan's birthday. You know, the man that won the Cold War among his many many other great deeds that benefited the entire country "directly".
