The horse was on the correct lead. The only reason he fell was he tripped and then he couldn't get steady again. Just like people. It's trip, fell. lol. The only thing bad about horses is there bigger lol
That's happened to me before too. My mare was going to fast around the last barrel, and lost her footing. She was fine, thank God, but sometimes they just go too fast for their own footing.
just being on the wrong lead wldnt really be the main reason she fell. i mean, its a pole horse; they change leads for a living. and the horse knew it was supposed to switch when it turned. maybe the ground was crap...
i do this... its really hard to get... and you are really supposed to do this in lope. its not as easy to slip... well, thats what my trainer told me. she looked like she was going way to fast... and wrong lead..
I'm not trying to start anything... But maybe not everybody is out there to win. Maybe they just want to have fun and enjoy doing something they and their horse both love. Have you ever considered that maybe, just maybe, it's not all about winning?
oh my. im just starting to show this summer in games. i really hope this never happens, and if that does happen (which more than likely it would) i hope me and my horse can just get up and walk away
Its hard to tell in the video but it kind of looks like he was on the wrong lead. That would be unusual for that horse to be on the wrong lead because he is an old pro and super automatic.
@canchaser59 He was on the wrong lead at the very start of his turn, when he began to dig in. -frame by frame- but he did attempt to switch, though he was already buckling
just a tip (not trying to be mean) you shouldn't get in the habit of having someone lead your horse in the gate. I think (but i may not be right) that your horse is too hot and you need to spend less time in the arena so he doesn't get sour
Leading the horse in is the only way you will get him through the gate. He was already gate sour when I purchased him and we are trying to correct that problem.
You are correct about spending less time in the arena though. The more time you spend outside the arena doing other things the less of a chance of developing a gate problem.
God bless you for noticing and taking care of the problem. I know this one family who gets every.single.horse sour. They just got this new filly, and already in 5 months, she wont go in the arena. They have to blind fold her and beat her to get in, you cant even lead her. Its very disheartening.
The second horse that fell was diagnosed with EPM shortly after that crash. This was the second time that he fell during a run. He was treated for 3 months with very expensive meds and is back 100%.
i luhv that part*GASP* JESUS CHRIST XD

I hate it when things like this happen. That was a nasty fall that could've been a lot worse. Glad to see they were both okay.

If you have to fall thats kinda the fall you want cause you land easy and your away from the horse...

Ouch I did that exact same thing But we do poles slightly differently. And i landed in red mud. Looks good on cream jodphurs haha.
Your horse is a great sporter though maybe a little hot. but i understand that
