this is the most cruels shit eveyone could ever do,why horse race, are you really that sad!!!???? how would you like to be locked inside all day raced until you die of som painfull injury!!!!!!
Happy51593 your idiot the skin on the horses face is very thin and is a very sensitive part of the horse...do you know anything about horses at all ?? -.-
@MusicMotives on average a horses skin is atleast 10x thicker than a humans, as well as having an additional layer of fat and hair, with less nerves below the surface, tbh it was more the shock than any form of pain as a horse is a flight animal by instinct as so is wary of anything unusual
well, i don't know what you think, but this is so not typical horse racing. it's true that jockeys can be banned for this kind of actions. anyway, this kind of things, you will find it at people who are definitly not horse people. and those people are in every discipline in this sport
This is in no way typical and the jockey probably wasn't banned. From what I can tell he was just getting the horses attention back on to him. Like someone else said a mare will do this with her foal, and horses to horses. If it really hurt the horse, which it didn't, it would have thrown it self back but he/she didn't. At the beginning she wasn't paying attention so he gave her a butt, she redirected to him, and off they went, nothing more. Get over it.
Its like a mare scolding her foal. The horse wasn't hurt and there was no reason for a ban. Is picking a dog up by its scruff painful? No, because thats what their mom would do.
And you woulda lost your job as a jockey for doing it. Probably get some animal-rights activists punching the shit outta you for it, too lol. I'd pay to see something like that.
this isn't a typical thing, there was media hype in the racing world when this happened because it NEVER happens! do you know the story behind this? the horse was being plain naughty, he threw the jockey off at least once and bit at him, the jockey had no spare hands to he tapped the horses nose, BUT GOT A BAN.
now, when you go horse riding, and you're horse rears up or bucks or tries to throw you off, you usually give him a smack on the neck right?! SAME THING. sheesh!
How do people get away with these stupid comments on Youtube.. Head butting is a typical thing in horse racing? That is is Horse Stinky. Why would someone even put that on here unless he/she was desperate for attention.
That was a dumb move by the jockey and if he connected which I doubt he would feel it more than the horse.
God there are so many people who want to cry fowl on horse racing but they all come up with stupid examples, comments and videos.
lol this isnt common!!! ive never seen this in my life... and horse racing is the same as any competitve equine sport... accidents happen..scientists are constantly trying to make it safer for horse and rider. the horse wasnt even hurt!.. if he was he would have jerked his head back..
Paul O’Neill is a gid fucking pilot and im sure he wouldnt appreciate scum like you posting shite like this. horseracing been around alot fukn longer than you ye prick.
it's not typical this hardly ever happens race horses are treated like royalty why's is so hard for people to see it? but there are some jockeys that are complete ass hole's like this one and they get what they deserve eg banned. glad to here he was banned!
This is an absolutely unique incident. Horses are treated like kings by their trainers and the staff that look after them, and indeed their jockeys. This was a one off and Paul O'Neill got a lengthy suspension, and while this was a stupid thing to do, the horse doesn't seem particularly bothered by it. In response to previous comments about drug use, in the UK where this happened horses HAVE to run drug free. no bute, no lasix etc etc. And drug tests at every meeting ensure this.
what an ass clown! the horse is all hot footed and probably had been given adrenalin. Of course it's not going to walk strait and listen to you. I'm sure headbutting it isnt going to help.
Gee, give the bloke a break. Unless you work with race horses on a daily basis your opinion has little or no value at all because you couldn't possibly begin to understand what it is like working with these creatures day in and day out.
Im not defending what he did, but as a student of a blacksmith, I know that the'res some horses that is completely dumb. If a horse keeps nagging it needs something for some sort of a "wakeup call"(sorry for my bad english)
this is not a typical thing of horse racing...im 19 and ive been watching racing since i was 8 years old and i have only EVER seen one jockey do this...and this was the one above,and he got a ban for doing it as well like another poster said
@matthewcollingwood OH MY GOD !!!!! that 100 lb jockey head butted that 1000 lb horse ........... BIG DEAL ...... look i love horses and most of Gods creatures but you have to be an idiot to think that what you just saw hurt that horse.............was it unprofessional ? was it uncalled for?? was it childish???? definetly but i doubt it hurt the horse......
@Ducknbob8 i never said it hurt the horse! i just said it hardly ever happens and the jockey got punished for it so i dont really understand your reply!?!? read the comment properly before you go replying trying to start an argument!!
In the midst of this heated debate, did anyone notice that the rider also just after, stroked the horse's neck? There is far more hate in the comments, than in the video itself. Sheesh. Unfriend already.
the jockey was just mad and over reacting, now, before some one jumps on me, i would like to say that the jocket did the WRONG thing by head butting the horse. But i mean, really? who is going to head but a horse?
spam callayndanae and soulisscool for innapropriate fighting...the jockey barely even tapped his helmet on the horse, its not like he got his head right in fron of his and slammed him in the head...sheesh calm yourselves...get on with your lives
It was a stupid thing to do but the horse is fine. Stop acting like he beat it or something. There are far more important issues to worry about than one random jockey doing one randomly stupid act.
I used to work with the Jockey who did this and let me tell you he didnt touch the horse.I have ridden race horses for 20 years and let me tell you all one thing they are Hard so whats a scrawney jockey gona do with his head to a horse Yep you guessed it the horse said Shit mate is that all you got!
@supermands1 Yeh right, & what do you mean he didnt touch it. we can see he did!! and this is a typical example of how most jockeys regard their horses. They see them as mere tools for profit and when they don't earn them anymore they are discarded or sent to slaughter. Theres plenty of evidence on the internet. Deny it all you want, the proof is all there! So headbutting a horse in anger is ok with you is it, well it's not with me nor is it with billions of others & neither should it be!!
@callayndanae The point is if this is if he is actually prepared to headbutt a horse in full view of the public what do you suppose he does when he cant be seen???? THINK
@Soulisscool...the point is you're overreacting. Do you freak out when Ceasar Milan taps peoples' dogs with his foot? It's the equivalence to what this jockey did-it's a way to get an animal's attention. So you're insinuating the jockey beats the horse out of the public's view? Isn't that a bit much to ASSUME? Maybe *you* should think before attacking my comment.
@callayndanae And you're missing the point, which is - when Cesar Milan does it it is for the dogs benefit but headbutting with his hard hat was done in pure temper!! which is entirely different!! It is a totally fair assumption backed up by statistics!! What about your assumption that this is a random act? How do you know that, theres evidence that it is far from random!! So who should think before they speak again?
So you also think parents who spank their kids in front of others beat them as well? It isn't the action that they do but the intent behind it. You don't know that it was done in temper-have you actually spent time around horses? I believe the intent was to regain the horse's attention, which he did, then he left the horse alone. I think you need to chill-you're assuming way too much.
@callayndanae Oh I do, do I? Have I said parents spanking children is beating them? NO I havent. You are putting words into my mouth now.
You can see it was done in temper! Look at the way the horse moves afterwards.
Does a person have to spend time around horses to be able recognise that headbutting a horse is wrong? You need to be a bit more observant and you are not considering the horse at all. Would you like to be headbutted?
But you HAVE insinuated that this jockey has probably beaten this horse since he headbutted it in public. I SAID it was a stupid thing to do-obviously he shouldn't have done it. I told you to chill the hell out. Stop acting like I'm saying he SHOULD have done what he did anyway. I also wouldn't like being ridden or saddled, but that's kind of beside the point, isn't it? Like I said, chill out and stop attacking me! You're making a mountain out of a mole hill. CHILLLLL OUT!
@callayndanae Whaat? I have not gone back on anything that I have said! Are you mixed up with my objection to "So you also think parents who spank their kids in front of others beat them as well?"when I had not said a word about it! How dare you presume to know my opinion. We must all object to animal abuse & you need to realise that acts like this can lead to worse abuses & don'f forget this was in full view of the public which implies a lot. Would you tell me to chill if it was a child?
But it isn't a child. I've told you a million times, I think you're taking one small, obviously stupid act and making a huge fuss about it when there are more serious things you could freak out about. How about crap that happens in the rodeo industry? Dog fighting? Soring of TWH's? And OF COURSE we should all object to animal abuse-you don't think I believe that? Now you're presuming MY opinion. Obviously nobody is going to win here, so let's just call it a day and shut the hell up.
Can you tell me how you know that it is 'one small act' You can't, can you? you are just assuming that. It is irresponsible to ignore what could be the beginning of worse abuse or to consider the possibility of more abuse already happening away from the public! Unless you are used to horses being treated this way & see it as normal? How do you know I don't object to other animal abuses anyway? Surely that would make more sense.
It's one small act because this is no worse than one horse bumping into or biting another because the horse didn't listen. Have you ever actually OBSERVED horses acting naturally? If one horse continually ignores another, something to this effect happens. To the horse, this wasn't a huge deal. To you, it is.
@callayndanae Of course it's worse. It wasnt accidental. it was a deliberate act to hurt the horse! It is NO WAY to treat a horse and proper horse lovers would be horrified at your comments, as I am! You don't make any sense Goodbye.
@callayndanae It was ME that mentioned intent in the first place. And are you actually claiming that you can interpret his intent from this video? But you can tell he's angry with the horse, perhaps the horse didnt perform to his expectations and earn him enough money eh? After all thats the reason they race them! It's disgusting and I don't know why you can't recognise it unless of course you are involved in the 'business'' in which case your opinion would figure.
I am saying, if you've spent time around horses, you'd know that if the horse isn't paying attention to you, it's not respectful, and can be unsafe. And by the way, I HAVE been involved in the business and although obviously abuse happens with ANY sport, I haven't seen any go on myself-they're usually well cared for. But then again, you know everything, so why even bother.
@callayndanae You're stating the obvious again., & NO we don't need to spend time around horses to know that they need to be under control for safety - isnt it blatantly obvious & plain common sense? This isnt a case of the horse not paying attention but you are choosing to ignore that. Of course abuse happens everywhere, thats no excuse for this abuse tho! I thought so, you can tell when a person regards animals as their property to do with as they wish even excusing headbutting a horse, huh!
Actually, no, it isn't "blatantly obvious and plain common sense." I've seen plenty of people that let their horse walk all over them because the horse wasn't paying attention to them at all. I am not choosing to ignore that-I obviously believe the horse wasn't paying attention to him so he tried the first thing that came to him, which I SAID was a stupid thing to do. I wish you'd get solid proof before you'd condemn this one unthinking jockey to doing a world of abuse. Either way, I'm done
@callayndanae But it's YOUR opinion/perception that others let their horse 'walk all over them' & that figures when you are here defending the headbutting of a horse as a way of controlling them!! That's absolutely outrageous! The reference to a child & yourself was to try to put another perspective on it for comparison. This vidoe IS solid proof! You keep saying it was a stupid thing to do but you STILL continue to defend it, You say youre against animal cruelty and then try to justify this..
No, it isn't my opinion/perception-I've seen horses literally walk right over top of someone because the person didn't get serious enough to have the horse listen to it. It was a stupid, stupid way to discipline the horse, but it APPEARS to ME to be this jockey's half second decision of a way to do it. If he actually lost his temper, he probably would have started waling on the horse, which he didn't do and I would not have approved of. But either way, I'm sick of arguing with you.
@callayndanae Of course it's your perception, whose else could it be? you have seen something and then you've judged the person as not being serious with the horse and it could have been something totally different that you werent aware of or something you had never even thought of! You are being irresponsible by downplaying a jockey headbutting ahorse. I have never heard anything so ridiculous as to come out in support of such an action! Didnt you see how the horse reacted? Did it look happy?
No, it's not my perception. After YEARS of being around horses and seeing human/horse interaction, it's pretty easy to see when a horse isn't taking a person seriously. Another horse could have kicked the shit out of it-that little jockey's helmet pales in comparison to what another horse would've likely done. I didn't say I support what he did-I told you it was a stupid thing to do-I just, unlike you, am able to see that there things to throw a shit fit about that actually harm an animal.
what do people see as harmfull, may I ask? Some draw the line as high as the happening causing visible damage, such as blood or broken skin/scar. When the rest dont. You can give a horse damn good beating with a whip without harming it with bloody or scarred results. So if such would have accured in this vid, would that also´ve been non-harmfull towards the horse?
I view harmful as causing damage physically or mentally to a horse. As this horse wasn't hurt or mentally disturbed by this little jockey, I don't see it as being *overly* harmful. I have said again and again that I disagree with this thoughtless jockey doing what he did but I can see that the horse was ignoring him. I disagree with what he did, but I believe there are more *harmful* issues that people can have a fuss about.
I hate being attacked for seeing that there are more urgent issues to be concerned with than this incident. If the horse were harmed physically or mentally in any way, I would be very upset too. But...since he isn't, I'm finding other issues to be concerned with, but that's apparently just me.
chill.. firstly, this is the first time I´ve seen this clip + I didnt roll down reading all your comments on this, so that´s why I asked what I did.. More than true and fully agree: what we see here is like nothing towards far more harmfull things that happen all the time around us to horses. Though not the most adultthing to do from the jockey, it wasnt that big of a deal, that one time..
Sorry, I'm a bit up in arms because another person, Soulisscool, has been attacking my comments for five days straight. And thank you, I was scared I happened to be the only one who saw it that way. :)
@callayndanae How do you know that this horse isnt harmed mentally? Is that an example of your 'understanding' of horses? Headbutting a horse will cause distress for the animal. LOOK at the horses reaction!! Any decent 'trainer' would be horrified by it. Just because someone has looked after or been around some animals for years does not mean that they automatically fully understand them. You don't seem to understand the implications or repercussions of this idiots actions one bit.
I honestly don't give half a shit what you think. I'm sick of arguing with you, and I think there are bigger issues to care about. If the horse were HARMED by this, he would have freaked out. He didn't freak out, so I'm not too sure why you are. Either way, I'm done with arguing with you-we aren't all PETA supporters, you know. I'm done. Please leave me alone.
"If the horse were HARMED by this, he would have freaked out. " so true!! people look at the horses´ head many times in a row when the jockey headbuts the horse- not that big a reaction. I believe my horse gets as much "panicked" if I slap him slightly to his nose when he´s tried to bite me (not mean angry biting but you know, small curious fast TRY with his teeth). Just leave this vid aside already ;)
@callayndanae You crack me up...It's YOU that has been aggressive to me & you've been swearing. I havent. You've told me to 'shut the hell up' amongst other 'nice' things, the way youve replied has been unnecessary. I didnt respond likewise because it doesnt contribute a good 'argument' and animal cruelty is far more important to me than any insult you can hand out to me. I'll say it again Goodbye
If I've been the least bit aggressive about this, it's because you've been bothering me for TEN DAYS now! How am I supposed to react to that?! I don't recall insulting you and the 'shut the hell up' was in the context of "we both should call it a day and shut the hell up." I do wish you would though. Either way, this is going absolutely nowhere and for the last time, let's leave it be.
@callayndanae Yeh right, youre understanding is about as good on that as the horse being headbutted. I have been 'bothering' you? If you don't want return comments don't come on here & I could say you're 'bothering me' (if it wasnt such a silly thing to say) after all youve been talking to me too. duh What a weird perception. I am utterly exasperated and have no wish to speak to someone who hasnt listened to what I've said carefully enough to respond appropriately and in context. GOODBYE
@callayndanae Incidentally all youve got to do is check back and you will see that not only did you say 'shut the hell up' and other similar things, it was in one of your very first answers, so dont try to use any excuses for it. There is NO excuse for that anyway, it was unnecessary and rude.
Right, I'm the crazy one. I read my comments and that was exactly in the context I said it was in. Oh well, have fun attacking everyone else on youtube. You've gotten on at least three people on this video alone. Whatever, have a good one.
@Jefrma Am I to assume that if you saw a child being slapped across the face you would not say or do anything about it because worse things happen? Is that your logic?
Depends what age kid you are talking about and WHY he/she was slapped in the first place. If a 12yr old kid tolds me to fuck off (yes sadly the swearingage has gone even lower from my years), I´ll damn sure slap that lil bastard. Besides, the "logic" you mentioned.. I despise EVERY person having such logic. I hear that "logic" eachtime I defend animals over people.. when people think animal abuse in genuine isnt bad just because many people are starving to death atm..
LOL! xD I KNEW the moment I wrote ´one time´ some hothead will pick that up. Of course I have no doubt that if a rider/person does smth like this once, that definitely wont be the last. Plus, I wouldnt be surprised were I to hear this same person HAS done this move beFORE.
@callayndanae What??? that omment wasnt even to you! Stop taking it personal and why do you keep answering, I've said goodbye twice! Goodbye - three times now
@Jefrma You said "Of course I have no doubt that if a rider/person does smth like this once, that definitely wont be the last. Plus, I wouldnt be surprised were I to hear this same person HAS done this move beFORE."
Absolutely, please try to explain that to callayndanae, because I have given up...
@callayndanae Who says it's just you? You have made your mind up that I am only concerned with this, no matter what the truth is because I have already told you that I care about all animal cruelty! We should not ignore or play down ANY act of cruelty to animals however small you think it is, It could lead to worse cruelty if it goes ignored, why can't you get that? How do you know this jockey doesnt inflict worse on this horse when not in publilc? You dont! it should not be ignored.
One last comment-jockeys ride horses basically only in front of the public anyway. Grooms and trainers handle the behind the scenes handling and preparation of the horse, not jockeys. So, it is extremely unlikely that this jockey takes people's horses and beats them beyond the public's view. Yet again, I wish you'd stop bitching at me and actually go after who did it if you feel so strongly-I assume you think you're actually doing something by getting on me about this? You're not. I'm done.
@callayndanae We both agree this was wrong.. I think that i f a person has the audacity to abuse another being (headbutt in the face!)in full view of others,that it is likely that it is not the first time, or even the first horse. Can't you see that? Abuse often begins out of sight but can progress to being done in full view of others later on. I'm am not bitching & I'm not 'getting on you' either. I am just giving my opinion after I read your comment. Arent I allowed to? It's not personal.
@callayndanae Jeez...how many times have I got to say it? This could mean that this horse could be being abused at other times too and maybe worse out of sight, something Jefrma gets but you dont seem able to grasp it. ANY abuse to any being should not go ignored. I'm exasperated...
If you feel SO strongly about this, you could stop bitching at my comments and DO something about it. Find the guy and complain until they fine him or something. I'm just saying I've seen more important things to completely lose your freaking cool about-perhaps actual abuse, not something you again are implying some jockey does, who basically only works the horse in public anyway. Stop acting like he is accessing some owner's horse and beating it in private-it's not his job to handle the
@callayndanae I had to comment because you irritated me when you talked about this as a random act when I know that it isn't - it is typical as the title of the video says but as I said earlier if you are in the industry you can become indifferent & desensitised to the animals & thats very sad. All animal abuse should be opposed, it is unacceptable! and I wonder if you would like it if the police 'chilled' if you head been headbutted styraight in the face with a hard hat?
I agree with ForeverLona-Horses can not rationalize and they are creatures of habit,which is why when being trained is a repaticious procedure..The horse will do what it is familiar with,not because they enjoy it..So idiots who are in a bad mood or have a chip on their shoulder get on these horses..the horse is confused by what the idiot is asking...BUT it's the horse that gets punished! This dumb ass in the video needs a hoof kick in the face.
I worked at a racetrack. If I saw that, I'd report it and then wait in the jock's room. If not, the parking lot. NOBODY abused horses on my watch. I like them better than most people. Far more honest.
@rg184511 I find it hard to believe that there was no abuse 'on my watch' maybe you missed it? Forcing any animals to do things for human profit is abuse and exploitation anyway.
I was wondering does anyone have any footage of the 1996 hennessy gold cup in england? my grandad bred the winner coome hill and he would love to see it again.
lol....race horses receive expensive and illegal drugs to go fast ....training barely counts.. if they get wound up before the race..meds r wasted.. yea they want them calm...
racing is a big farce for big money ppl to launder cash!..with absolutely no care of how the horses are treated pre and post racing...id love to see the top trainers compete against backyard trainers with well cared for and properly conditioned horses of similar breeding..and see who wins...WITHOUT DRUGS of any kind!!!
I fail to see how a tap from a 50 kg jockey is going to seriously hurt a 500+ kilo animal. The horse barely reacted to it. Sorry, but anyone who has dealt with racehorses would know that if the horse had been seriously worried or hurt by the "headbutt" it would have reacted a hell of alot more violently than a slight head toss.
its not going to hurt him no, but every animal deserves respect, especially when he's doing something for your gain.
the horse was just standing there, if he didnt want to be lead, then the jockey should have given him a light tap on the shoulder, he would have understood that and reacted much better, because with his training, whip means go.
I wouldn't say this typically happens. You get bad eggs in every activity. The other day I was walking my dog and I saw some man slap his dog in the face because the animal misbehaved. Do most people abuse their dogs? No. That doesn't mean there aren't a few though. Very sad.
Since that day the horse in question has won 4 times, finished 2nd 8 times and 3rd 5 times. So stupid though the jockey's actions were they didn't harm the gorse in any way. British horseracing works in close partnership with the RSPCA to ensure horse's safety is a number one priority. World Horse Welfare, formerly ILPH, the largest horse welfare organisation supports the use of horses in sport. If you want to help horses who are badly treated start on their website to see what horse abuse is.
So punishing the horse for what they trained him to do. A horse on that high of energy food, taught to act with "spirt and fire". and to be excited and nervous at races. and he gets punished for doing exactly what he was taught to do.
Racehorses are NOT trained to be "nervous and excited" at races. I know full well that every horse we have at our training facility has time spent on it to avoid this very thing. The last thing any racehorse trainer needs is for a jockey to be dislodged and the horse to get away, or for the horse to be so wound up it runs it race before it gets in the barriers. It benefits no-one to have a horse deliberately fired up.
i have a racehorse, thank you. I know what he was like when i first got him. Ive worked at four different racehorse training stables. They want them to have "spirit" and "flash", so yes, they are trained to be hyped up, most of them time, they arent trained to be "crazy", but add the "spirit" with the excitement that comes with race day, and TB's natural high energy and super sensitivity, and most of the time, youve got a head case.
First up, he headbutted it on the muzzle which is an extremely sensitive area and usually should be respected. On this instance, the freakin horse probably deserved it. Although I personally would never treat my Arab's muzzle in such a way, he would never do anything to require such a rebuke.
dude, so u wouldn't mind to get hit just because there's 'only bone' on the place ur hit on? right. let's try ur shinbone then, and see how u like it.
i dont want to start a war over this but where he "headbutted" that horse was not the hard part of the head, that was its fragile nose. Also, he did it at the wrong time. not saying he should have in the first place, but, he did it when the horse was about to calm down. then boom. head butt. and the horse thought it did something wrong. and started acting up again. just my two cents.
Anyone who believes that hurt the horse has never touch a horses head, it's like concrete. That "headbutt" is a way of breaking the horses focus on current behavior and get it's attention. I dare anyone to headbutt a horse and see who it hurts more, you or the horse?
Everyone is getting way to worked up over this. Yeah ok he shouldn't have head butted the horse, but i seriously doubt it did anything other than piss the horse off, he would've done more damage to his own head than to the horse.
My pony gave me a headbutt. My nose didn't stop bleeding for an hour. I was lucky I didn't lose teeth. They have very hard heads! Human heads are wimpy.
why do people bother with horses leave um alone we dont live in 1850s any more.......car has now been invented people

@MusicMotives on average a horses skin is atleast 10x thicker than a humans, as well as having an additional layer of fat and hair, with less nerves below the surface, tbh it was more the shock than any form of pain as a horse is a flight animal by instinct as so is wary of anything unusual

well, i don't know what you think, but this is so not typical horse racing. it's true that jockeys can be banned for this kind of actions. anyway, this kind of things, you will find it at people who are definitly not horse people. and those people are in every discipline in this sport

This is in no way typical and the jockey probably wasn't banned. From what I can tell he was just getting the horses attention back on to him. Like someone else said a mare will do this with her foal, and horses to horses. If it really hurt the horse, which it didn't, it would have thrown it self back but he/she didn't. At the beginning she wasn't paying attention so he gave her a butt, she redirected to him, and off they went, nothing more. Get over it.

HAHAHAHHAAAA DUMBASS!
this isn't a typical thing, there was media hype in the racing world when this happened because it NEVER happens! do you know the story behind this? the horse was being plain naughty, he threw the jockey off at least once and bit at him, the jockey had no spare hands to he tapped the horses nose, BUT GOT A BAN.
now, when you go horse riding, and you're horse rears up or bucks or tries to throw you off, you usually give him a smack on the neck right?! SAME THING. sheesh!

How do people get away with these stupid comments on Youtube.. Head butting is a typical thing in horse racing? That is is Horse Stinky. Why would someone even put that on here unless he/she was desperate for attention.
That was a dumb move by the jockey and if he connected which I doubt he would feel it more than the horse.
God there are so many people who want to cry fowl on horse racing but they all come up with stupid examples, comments and videos.

it's not typical this hardly ever happens race horses are treated like royalty why's is so hard for people to see it? but there are some jockeys that are complete ass hole's like this one and they get what they deserve eg banned. glad to here he was banned!
TheRide4life 1 year ago
This is an absolutely unique incident. Horses are treated like kings by their trainers and the staff that look after them, and indeed their jockeys. This was a one off and Paul O'Neill got a lengthy suspension, and while this was a stupid thing to do, the horse doesn't seem particularly bothered by it. In response to previous comments about drug use, in the UK where this happened horses HAVE to run drug free. no bute, no lasix etc etc. And drug tests at every meeting ensure this.

supermands1 2 years ago
@supermands1 Yeh right, & what do you mean he didnt touch it. we can see he did!! and this is a typical example of how most jockeys regard their horses. They see them as mere tools for profit and when they don't earn them anymore they are discarded or sent to slaughter. Theres plenty of evidence on the internet. Deny it all you want, the proof is all there! So headbutting a horse in anger is ok with you is it, well it's not with me nor is it with billions of others & neither should it be!!

@callayndanae The point is if this is if he is actually prepared to headbutt a horse in full view of the public what do you suppose he does when he cant be seen???? THINK
Soulisscool 1 year ago
@Soulisscool...the point is you're overreacting. Do you freak out when Ceasar Milan taps peoples' dogs with his foot? It's the equivalence to what this jockey did-it's a way to get an animal's attention. So you're insinuating the jockey beats the horse out of the public's view? Isn't that a bit much to ASSUME? Maybe *you* should think before attacking my comment.
callayndanae 1 year ago
@callayndanae And you're missing the point, which is - when Cesar Milan does it it is for the dogs benefit but headbutting with his hard hat was done in pure temper!! which is entirely different!! It is a totally fair assumption backed up by statistics!! What about your assumption that this is a random act? How do you know that, theres evidence that it is far from random!! So who should think before they speak again?
Soulisscool 1 year ago
So you also think parents who spank their kids in front of others beat them as well? It isn't the action that they do but the intent behind it. You don't know that it was done in temper-have you actually spent time around horses? I believe the intent was to regain the horse's attention, which he did, then he left the horse alone. I think you need to chill-you're assuming way too much.
callayndanae 1 year ago
@callayndanae Oh I do, do I? Have I said parents spanking children is beating them? NO I havent. You are putting words into my mouth now.
You can see it was done in temper! Look at the way the horse moves afterwards.
Does a person have to spend time around horses to be able recognise that headbutting a horse is wrong? You need to be a bit more observant and you are not considering the horse at all. Would you like to be headbutted?
Soulisscool 1 year ago
But you HAVE insinuated that this jockey has probably beaten this horse since he headbutted it in public. I SAID it was a stupid thing to do-obviously he shouldn't have done it. I told you to chill the hell out. Stop acting like I'm saying he SHOULD have done what he did anyway. I also wouldn't like being ridden or saddled, but that's kind of beside the point, isn't it? Like I said, chill out and stop attacking me! You're making a mountain out of a mole hill. CHILLLLL OUT!

@callayndanae Whaat? I have not gone back on anything that I have said! Are you mixed up with my objection to "So you also think parents who spank their kids in front of others beat them as well?"when I had not said a word about it! How dare you presume to know my opinion. We must all object to animal abuse & you need to realise that acts like this can lead to worse abuses & don'f forget this was in full view of the public which implies a lot. Would you tell me to chill if it was a child?
Soulisscool 1 year ago
But it isn't a child. I've told you a million times, I think you're taking one small, obviously stupid act and making a huge fuss about it when there are more serious things you could freak out about. How about crap that happens in the rodeo industry? Dog fighting? Soring of TWH's? And OF COURSE we should all object to animal abuse-you don't think I believe that? Now you're presuming MY opinion. Obviously nobody is going to win here, so let's just call it a day and shut the hell up.
callayndanae 1 year ago
@callayndanae
Can you tell me how you know that it is 'one small act' You can't, can you? you are just assuming that. It is irresponsible to ignore what could be the beginning of worse abuse or to consider the possibility of more abuse already happening away from the public! Unless you are used to horses being treated this way & see it as normal? How do you know I don't object to other animal abuses anyway? Surely that would make more sense.
Soulisscool 1 year ago
It's one small act because this is no worse than one horse bumping into or biting another because the horse didn't listen. Have you ever actually OBSERVED horses acting naturally? If one horse continually ignores another, something to this effect happens. To the horse, this wasn't a huge deal. To you, it is.
callayndanae 1 year ago
@callayndanae Of course it's worse. It wasnt accidental. it was a deliberate act to hurt the horse! It is NO WAY to treat a horse and proper horse lovers would be horrified at your comments, as I am! You don't make any sense Goodbye.
Soulisscool 1 year ago
Oh, and when Cesar Milan taps his dogs or when parents spank their kids, it IS for the exact same reason. Remember, it is the intent, not the action.
callayndanae 1 year ago
@callayndanae It was ME that mentioned intent in the first place. And are you actually claiming that you can interpret his intent from this video? But you can tell he's angry with the horse, perhaps the horse didnt perform to his expectations and earn him enough money eh? After all thats the reason they race them! It's disgusting and I don't know why you can't recognise it unless of course you are involved in the 'business'' in which case your opinion would figure.
Soulisscool 1 year ago
I am saying, if you've spent time around horses, you'd know that if the horse isn't paying attention to you, it's not respectful, and can be unsafe. And by the way, I HAVE been involved in the business and although obviously abuse happens with ANY sport, I haven't seen any go on myself-they're usually well cared for. But then again, you know everything, so why even bother.
callayndanae 1 year ago
@callayndanae You're stating the obvious again., & NO we don't need to spend time around horses to know that they need to be under control for safety - isnt it blatantly obvious & plain common sense? This isnt a case of the horse not paying attention but you are choosing to ignore that. Of course abuse happens everywhere, thats no excuse for this abuse tho! I thought so, you can tell when a person regards animals as their property to do with as they wish even excusing headbutting a horse, huh!
Soulisscool 1 year ago
Actually, no, it isn't "blatantly obvious and plain common sense." I've seen plenty of people that let their horse walk all over them because the horse wasn't paying attention to them at all. I am not choosing to ignore that-I obviously believe the horse wasn't paying attention to him so he tried the first thing that came to him, which I SAID was a stupid thing to do. I wish you'd get solid proof before you'd condemn this one unthinking jockey to doing a world of abuse. Either way, I'm done
callayndanae 1 year ago
@callayndanae But it's YOUR opinion/perception that others let their horse 'walk all over them' & that figures when you are here defending the headbutting of a horse as a way of controlling them!! That's absolutely outrageous! The reference to a child & yourself was to try to put another perspective on it for comparison. This vidoe IS solid proof! You keep saying it was a stupid thing to do but you STILL continue to defend it, You say youre against animal cruelty and then try to justify this..
Soulisscool 1 year ago
No, it isn't my opinion/perception-I've seen horses literally walk right over top of someone because the person didn't get serious enough to have the horse listen to it. It was a stupid, stupid way to discipline the horse, but it APPEARS to ME to be this jockey's half second decision of a way to do it. If he actually lost his temper, he probably would have started waling on the horse, which he didn't do and I would not have approved of. But either way, I'm sick of arguing with you.
callayndanae 1 year ago
@callayndanae Of course it's your perception, whose else could it be? you have seen something and then you've judged the person as not being serious with the horse and it could have been something totally different that you werent aware of or something you had never even thought of! You are being irresponsible by downplaying a jockey headbutting ahorse. I have never heard anything so ridiculous as to come out in support of such an action! Didnt you see how the horse reacted? Did it look happy?
Soulisscool 1 year ago
No, it's not my perception. After YEARS of being around horses and seeing human/horse interaction, it's pretty easy to see when a horse isn't taking a person seriously. Another horse could have kicked the shit out of it-that little jockey's helmet pales in comparison to what another horse would've likely done. I didn't say I support what he did-I told you it was a stupid thing to do-I just, unlike you, am able to see that there things to throw a shit fit about that actually harm an animal.
callayndanae 1 year ago
what do people see as harmfull, may I ask? Some draw the line as high as the happening causing visible damage, such as blood or broken skin/scar. When the rest dont. You can give a horse damn good beating with a whip without harming it with bloody or scarred results. So if such would have accured in this vid, would that also´ve been non-harmfull towards the horse?
Jefrma 1 year ago
I view harmful as causing damage physically or mentally to a horse. As this horse wasn't hurt or mentally disturbed by this little jockey, I don't see it as being *overly* harmful. I have said again and again that I disagree with this thoughtless jockey doing what he did but I can see that the horse was ignoring him. I disagree with what he did, but I believe there are more *harmful* issues that people can have a fuss about.
callayndanae 1 year ago
I hate being attacked for seeing that there are more urgent issues to be concerned with than this incident. If the horse were harmed physically or mentally in any way, I would be very upset too. But...since he isn't, I'm finding other issues to be concerned with, but that's apparently just me.
callayndanae 1 year ago
chill.. firstly, this is the first time I´ve seen this clip + I didnt roll down reading all your comments on this, so that´s why I asked what I did..

Though not the most adultthing to do from the jockey, it wasnt that big of a deal, that one time..

@callayndanae How do you know that this horse isnt harmed mentally? Is that an example of your 'understanding' of horses? Headbutting a horse will cause distress for the animal. LOOK at the horses reaction!! Any decent 'trainer' would be horrified by it. Just because someone has looked after or been around some animals for years does not mean that they automatically fully understand them. You don't seem to understand the implications or repercussions of this idiots actions one bit.
Soulisscool 1 year ago
I honestly don't give half a shit what you think. I'm sick of arguing with you, and I think there are bigger issues to care about. If the horse were HARMED by this, he would have freaked out. He didn't freak out, so I'm not too sure why you are. Either way, I'm done with arguing with you-we aren't all PETA supporters, you know. I'm done. Please leave me alone.
callayndanae 1 year ago
"If the horse were HARMED by this, he would have freaked out. " so true!! people look at the horses´ head many times in a row when the jockey headbuts the horse- not that big a reaction. I believe my horse gets as much "panicked" if I slap him slightly to his nose when he´s tried to bite me (not mean angry biting but you know, small curious fast TRY with his teeth). Just leave this vid aside already ;)

How do you know this jockey doesnt inflict worse on this horse when not in publilc? You dont! it should not be ignored.
Soulisscool 1 year ago
One last comment-jockeys ride horses basically only in front of the public anyway. Grooms and trainers handle the behind the scenes handling and preparation of the horse, not jockeys. So, it is extremely unlikely that this jockey takes people's horses and beats them beyond the public's view. Yet again, I wish you'd stop bitching at me and actually go after who did it if you feel so strongly-I assume you think you're actually doing something by getting on me about this? You're not. I'm done.

@callayndanae We both agree this was wrong.. I think that i f a person has the audacity to abuse another being (headbutt in the face!)in full view of others,that it is likely that it is not the first time, or even the first horse. Can't you see that? Abuse often begins out of sight but can progress to being done in full view of others later on. I'm am not bitching & I'm not 'getting on you' either. I am just giving my opinion after I read your comment. Arent I allowed to? It's not personal.

@callayndanae Jeez...how many times have I got to say it? This could mean that this horse could be being abused at other times too and maybe worse out of sight, something Jefrma gets but you dont seem able to grasp it. ANY abuse to any being should not go ignored. I'm exasperated...

All animal abuse should be opposed, it is unacceptable! and I wonder if you would like it if the police 'chilled' if you head been headbutted styraight in the face with a hard hat?

I agree with ForeverLona-Horses can not rationalize and they are creatures of habit,which is why when being trained is a repaticious procedure..The horse will do what it is familiar with,not because they enjoy it..So idiots who are in a bad mood or have a chip on their shoulder get on these horses..the horse is confused by what the idiot is asking...BUT it's the horse that gets punished!

its not going to hurt him no, but every animal deserves respect, especially when he's doing something for your gain.
the horse was just standing there, if he didnt want to be lead, then the jockey should have given him a light tap on the shoulder, he would have understood that and reacted much better, because with his training, whip means go.

I wouldn't say this typically happens. You get bad eggs in every activity. The other day I was walking my dog and I saw some man slap his dog in the face because the animal misbehaved. Do most people abuse their dogs? No. That doesn't mean there aren't a few though. Very sad.

Since that day the horse in question has won 4 times, finished 2nd 8 times and 3rd 5 times. So stupid though the jockey's actions were they didn't harm the gorse in any way. British horseracing works in close partnership with the RSPCA to ensure horse's safety is a number one priority. World Horse Welfare, formerly ILPH, the largest horse welfare organisation supports the use of horses in sport. If you want to help horses who are badly treated start on their website to see what horse abuse is.

So punishing the horse for what they trained him to do. A horse on that high of energy food, taught to act with "spirt and fire". and to be excited and nervous at races. and he gets punished for doing exactly what he was taught to do.

Racehorses are NOT trained to be "nervous and excited" at races. I know full well that every horse we have at our training facility has time spent on it to avoid this very thing. The last thing any racehorse trainer needs is for a jockey to be dislodged and the horse to get away, or for the horse to be so wound up it runs it race before it gets in the barriers. It benefits no-one to have a horse deliberately fired up.

i have a racehorse, thank you. I know what he was like when i first got him. Ive worked at four different racehorse training stables. They want them to have "spirit" and "flash", so yes, they are trained to be hyped up, most of them time, they arent trained to be "crazy", but add the "spirit" with the excitement that comes with race day, and TB's natural high energy and super sensitivity, and most of the time, youve got a head case.

He Told The Horse Off

First up, he headbutted it on the muzzle which is an extremely sensitive area and usually should be respected. On this instance, the freakin horse probably deserved it. Although I personally would never treat my Arab's muzzle in such a way, he would never do anything to require such a rebuke.

thats harmless in all fairness,that part a the nose is all bone and it is like concrete.

dude, so u wouldn't mind to get hit just because there's 'only bone' on the place ur hit on? right. let's try ur shinbone then, and see how u like it.
annemariegodijn 2 years ago
yah if u hit a horse on a shinbone it would hurt as well.if i got that headbutt on my bare forehead i dont think it would hurt much.
sceanable 2 years ago
Lol, I really think a hit on the forehead with a jockeys cap would hurt pretty bad... But never mind. Thats just my opinion.
annemariegodijn 2 years ago
i dont want to start a war over this but where he "headbutted" that horse was not the hard part of the head, that was its fragile nose. Also, he did it at the wrong time. not saying he should have in the first place, but, he did it when the horse was about to calm down. then boom. head butt. and the horse thought it did something wrong. and started acting up again. just my two cents.

Anyone who believes that hurt the horse has never touch a horses head, it's like concrete. That "headbutt" is a way of breaking the horses focus on current behavior and get it's attention. I dare anyone to headbutt a horse and see who it hurts more, you or the horse?

And also its a ridiculous title. That isn't a typical occurance at a horse racing ok.
YehhOk1993 2 years ago 2
Everyone is getting way to worked up over this. Yeah ok he shouldn't have head butted the horse, but i seriously doubt it did anything other than piss the horse off, he would've done more damage to his own head than to the horse.

wow what an arsehole.
you don't need to headbutt a horse to get it to do what you want, infact to do so is very counter productive.
obviously all that head butting you've suposedly done has killed more than a few of your brain cells.
