For whatever odd reason my sister sent me this video of horse falls. To me it shows that all of us, even the best, have out bad days. Why you should wear a helmet is also another. Most, but not all, of these clips seem to be the horse acting out as a result of rider error. It takes a lot to make me flinch but some of these clips managed to do just that. I wanted to share this video, I did not make it, to show that all riders have there bad times but we still continue to ride despite the risks.
Yes I do realize that there are a lot of similar videos out there. Please do not post another video in this thread, I had that happen already. Don't mean to be rude but its about this video not some other video.
When I look at the these I always laugh, because of them are just hilarious. The way, the speed and the elegant way some of these riders fall really should get an award!
We had a rodeo last night and the rodeo queen was a freshman. Well, after her barrel race he horse did a sharp turn then stopped. The freshman landed right on her bum and then she started crying. It looked like it hurt - but not enough to cry about.... That girl can't control her horse and when she rides him she can barely stay in the seat... She shouldn't even be riding.
Ughh i know what you mean! At a horse show a kid was schooling and his horse took off around the ring, he had a panic attack and couldnt get his horse to stop. They were cantering around the ring for a solid 5 minutes before the horse stopped when he got bored. The kid got off, crying.
And the sad part is that kid was going to show 3'
He couldn't stop his horse when he took off at a fast canter. Seriously?
please tell me that one where the horse fall ON the cowboy, and stands back up with his limp body caught in the stirrup is not a video of his death. they would let that on Youtube, would they?
Tiny, are you talking about the dark horse at 1:50? No, that rider survived, but had to have some serious reconstructive surgery from where the saddle horn landed on her face.
