@AGRLMK: and this is the difference between arabians and drafts...arabians start a panic..."he;s running...well, ok I'll run too!" Drafties "uh...im gonna stand here, outta the way...too much work to do anything else..." but i love both equally!
idiots running off! they could have easily stopped them. knobs! thinks this whole little show is pathetic horses are for loving and riding? this is a clear example of that?
@hannahemilyxxx: Genius...draft horses are bred for PULLING! Each of these horses weighs over 2000lbs! That's like stopping a car coming straight at you...generally, if you have enough sense...you get the fuck outta the way. AND This class is an example of how supplies used to be delivered around cities and towns...They do various maneuvers with the teams as well. And just for shits and giggles, we draft people also ride and LOVE our horses!
God i love brandon Fair... for all those silly people saying too many horses have no idea... they put way more teams than this in there... it shoes true control of a team, the horses got out on a freak accident... GET OVER IT!!! and yes i am a residant in Manitoba and was present when this happened
man! i wouldn't want to get near one of those percherons, especially when they're out of control! seriously, their hooves are like manhole covers!!! :O
hahahaha i think it is funny how MEN are runnng after PERCHERONS thinking if they get a hold of those huge horses that are running they can STOP them lol
Theres been some good wrecks at that fair. The way they show the heavy horses has to be reconsidered. Those two caused enough caos in that ring and they were well trained. could have done a lot of damage. every body there was lucky.
It was just a fluke accident. There's alot of stuff holding those pairs together and it only takes one buckle to break or one snap to let go. I've personally seen 8, 8 horse hitch teams in that exact arena. I'll agree its alot of horses in a small area but those horses are so well trained and have such a great temperment, if I had to have so many in there at one time, I would want it to be those drafts
@cowgal58 only in america dumb ass yanks why take take so many heavy teams in to a poxy small indoor arena. come to england and learn how its done properly.
People AND horses can get killed in situations like that. Not ALWAYS due the inexperience or idiotic behavior of a person, sometimes it is the horses fault. Most of the time, it's the humans. But what that girl said is completely accurate, just as what you said is as well. It depends on the situation. There are different situations that happen for different reasons and they all should be taken care of and viewed in various aspects. These people reacted quickly and got the horses back to normal.
and at the third second when that guys is tripped by a set of spreader bars he was runnig to catch one of the loos horses he tripped over sarrillion percherons spreader bars
i had seen that pleasure class too, those ppl were stipid and idiotic, these were fast reacting to an "emergencie" not that is but any loose can be dangerous
0:03 the guy tripping over something, loose traces maybe, as he tries to run away from the thundering hooves....Ha ha ha love to have heard what was going on in his head . Hope he wasn't hurt.
These are Percherons. Each weighing approximately 1,600 lbs. plus. Did you notice how easily they were caught and the situation brought under control. Not so with the other video where the arabian pleasure driving class go bananas. Arabians are nutbags.
Most Percheron weigh around or over a ton, and most are between 16.2-17.3hands (5.4-5.7 feet at the withers) but can range from 15-19 hands. Dr Le Gear was one of the tallest horses known at 21 hands (Seven feet at the shoulder.) As far as horses go, they're huge.
Just a quick reminder to those humans who think they've got the upper hand! :D One horse to the other, "Ok, stay together now and show 'em we don't need them to put on a good show!"
Good job to the handlers for ending a bad situation before it got worse. As for stepping in front of them, horses aren't (generally) mean by nature, they aren't going to just run you down unless they are truly terrified out of their wits. If those two had spooked the other horses on the other hitches it could have turned very ugly quickly.
ya, we were really going to let the lead team run all over the place and spook the other hitches, it made more sense to stop them, and they will stop with you get infront of them.
i say grab to horses still hooked the the wagon and get the hell out of the way you dont want to be hit head on but a horse at full speed esspecially a draft! (personal experience)
wow what is it about brandon and the drafts in 06 when I went, a hitch turned over in the arena, and I another one spooked in the asile when they where getting hitched up, almost ran over a bunch of people.
that happened to me 4 of 3 of my freinds were with me and there were 2 huge perchons and one didnt like his bit so he started walking and there was no one on the cart so thery ran and and i was right on front luckil i run track do thats good and they tore right through my neighbors back yard and it was so scary
This was crazy to see in person! The guy who fell tripped on another guy who was running. They both were trying to get out of the way as the 2 loose horses came barreling straight for them. Luckily nobody was hurt, it could've been bad!
