Ponoka rodeo accident (trick rider does a face plant)

[clairmatinaustralia]

thank god for a good horse!!!

[MrsCullenJankowski]

Guys! Rodeo does not abuse animals! That's it! They just don't. No rodeo I've ever been involved in even ignores an animal! 

[sgtshane]

let's hope

[greatbigbubby]

and God will give his Angels charge over thee!!!!whooyah!!!!

[davidwrightjr]

That's like saying football soccer basketball and more are abuse to humans people get hurt when don't want to is that abuse well that's the same with the horses try to ban sports if its abuse cmon do it

[sgtshane]

@davidwrightjr but a human can always quit if they don't like getting hurt and a human gets paid to play and preform but an animal has no choice to preform or not....

[hlover20]

Your not a good equestrian if you dont fall off

[Bloo445]

She just lost her balance. Happens to the best of us.

[sgtshane]

@Bloo445 I fall down every day LOL

[BlackFand1000]

@sgtshane was that u in the video??? If goid job!!

[sgtshane]

@BlackFand1000 NOPE I AM IN THE STANDS WITH MY CAMERA

[megs905]

ha sucks to be you doing a face plant!

[sgtshane]

@megs905 Me?

[NickiRocky]

wow what a well trained horse! it just stopped! i save bravo to the horsey, i think the horses have to be realy good at this with all the hanging off haha well no shit XD

[babysis940]

Yeah this video shows no abuse to the horse. If the horse was in pain or fear he could have very well bucked and seriously hurt both riders. He is obviously a very well trained horse to not freak out when the riders on his back lose balance or something. Kudos to those riders :)

[SilkJump2It]

wow! what a wonderfully trained horse! I hope the girl was ok...

[MrDMVenture]

OH my word!!!! I hope she was ok!

[suppdanicali]

People, SOME rodeos do abuse the animals.

trick riding, however, doesnt

[sgtshane]

@suppdanicali the ladies on those horses love their horses...however you can't say that about the people on a bull....

[poohbearwomensklsnd]

@suppdanicali Trick Riders deffenitly do (: , i would know ,

we have to trust our horses ecisaly in this vdery dangerous riding,

and they have to trust us

so we have to taake very very good care of our horses (:

[116jewel]

RODEOS ARE NOT ABUSE!! Yes they're are some rodeos in the world that are a little less caring but they LOVE those horse and bulls!!!!! ALL OF THEM!!!

[Verrn100]

Its not ALL rodeos that abuse animals, I mean, I go to the Rimbey rodeo and there last intention is to abuse animals. Most animals are bred for this, and they either do this, or there sent to the slaughter house, most rodeos are very cruel and im going to eventually rescue big farm animals that are abused for no reason when im Older. But like I said, some rodeos are just about riding and showing what you can do, not alwats tackling bulls.

[AppaLoosa25]

ow that must hurt

[Krisreiner]

She was lucky that the horse stayed calm and relaxed. Well done!!!

[victoriahorses]

i dont know what everyone is chatting about..

but the girls where ace on the horse!! well done!!!!

[sgtshane]

yes i agree the video shows someone doing a trick ride and we have every animal rights guy weighing in with an opinion about rodeos

[BaileyBlueFire]

ok This is not a rodeo horse

this lady owns her horse , so techniqly it is not a rodeo horse , this is how she makes her money

[sgtshane]

yes she is probably riding her pet....... by the way Peta does not like anybody to own a pet this video is just something I witnessed and posted I do not support Peta or Alf or any of those people who cause stress to other people in the name of animal rights.... but like I said before I cheer for the Bull

[moonlightlover4eva]

Oh yeah the animals are SOO abused! The Broncs and bulls only have to work for 8 seconds at a time!!! They're lucky if you ask me!! And a lot of the rope horses and barrel horses LOVE their jobs! So, back the fuck off! Go put some pink ribbons on the bulls and broncs you fucking pansy ass, try the sport before you diss it!

[IrishOne2010]

Go hug some trees. For crying out loud, you damn peta people kill horses and cattle every time you release prairie dogs out on property. You "abuse" animals.

[AnimalLiberation3D]

Rodeos abuse animals!!

[sgtshane]

Yes they do....I always cheer for the Bull

[AnimalLiberation3D]

Rodeos abuse animals and there is no line of justification which can justify animal abuse.

Animal abuse is plainly and clearly abuse, and this abuse happens at rodeos.

[wyominredneckcowgirl]

No we put them to use, it is there job. If every animal had a job, there wouldn't be any business for the slaughter houses. Go hug another tree

[BarrelRacer955]

Not all do u little snot!!! I dont see any abuse in this vid!!!If u dont know a thing hardly bout rodeos just shut up and dont coment. I barrel race, pole bend, team penn and go to rodeos all the time. Its my life!! Not all rodeos abuse animals!!!

[beautifulpassion]

@BarrelRacer955 Take a chill pill and can the melodrama. You little snot.

[justinother40]

Why do people like you insist on watching these videos, which you clearly dislike, and slamming something you don't understand? I know of many horses that are starving to death because people like you are so hell bent on "saving" all the horses; horses that people can't afford to feed but they love these horses so much they let them starve or become crippled. You well intentioned people are often causing more harm than good.

[royalphantom1]

@AnimalLiberation3D why dont you put your damn money where your mouth is and go buy a bull or a several hundred of them just to keep as lawn deco, untill you do that keep your damn mouth shut. if these animals did not earn their keep they would be in your belly. or better yet go spend a grand at a county fair or raise taxes so the people who actually give a dime about these animals could care for them more easy! sell your damn computer and go buy a truck load of hay if you care so damn much!

[queensweet124]

Oh Gawd

[sgtshane]

I'LL BE AT THAT RODEO THIS YEAR TOO

[sheepluver316]

Good for you... would you be interested in buying some raffle tickets for Cadets? :P Most of our budget is made from the money we make from those tickets. :D Be a doll and help out the local RCAC sqn.

*cough* //end of advertisement. xD

And anyways, yeah. Our rodeo is really something else, eh?

[sgtshane]

YES I WILL BUY SOME THIS YEAR....you bet!

[boozkatiecakes]

damn that horse is well trained!

[painthorselover11]

i had to watch it twice cause i didnt notice the 2nd girl.

[gdslvs]

Thanks a lot again and again :)

[MedoraCowgirl]

She didnt even hit the ground!!!!

[sgtshane]

ya i know.... it's not a disasterous as i would like... but i'm going again next year

[MedoraCowgirl]

I would, there's never trick riders at the rodeos by me, its all cityslickers trying to hang out with us cowgirls and cowboys!!! It drives me NUTS!

[Spheett]

@MedoraCowgirl 1:13 - 1:16 her head drags allong the ground

[dangerous610]

that is insanely stupid to do on a horse

[tophandcowgirl]

i have had a bad trick riding accident while doing the suicide drag on a new horse. fortunately, someone was holding him so he didn't get away and smash my head on the post that we were next to, which almost happened.

[sgtshane]

I sure hope you are OK now TOP!

[sgtshane]

doesn't take much to entertain you guys does it?

[ArrowsUpEnt]

where is the face plant? 3 of us i just wasted a minute of our lives. 3 minutes total you d bag

[sgtshane]

the face plant is at the 20 sec mark the whole clip is only 1 min long did you watch it 3 times?

[jan1035]

Yeah he was so fascinated

[sgtshane]

YA THERE'S ALWAYS NEXT YEAR!

[GottaLoveFamilyGuy]

that wasn't as bad as I thought it would b

[horsetrickrider1]

Niki Moran is an awesome pro. She didn't do a face plant as the title describes!! Trick riding is risky business! I just broke my arm this past weekend at a trick riding performance and I actually DID a faceplant!! lol

[sgtshane]

yes I agree you would have to be in great shape to do these tricks

[sgtshane]

yes I agree you would have to be in great shape to do these tricks

[hollieshiels]

thats happened to me b4.. twice but i was quick enough n strong enough to get up and grab the handles

[trickridinaly]

the only danger in doing a tail drag/back bend is that the saddle rider can't help the dragging rider if anything happens. My team and I stick to tail drag/hippodrome for that factor.

[hollieshiels]

i agree with that... though if ur horse is "quiet" enough and doesnt freak out when u loose it off the side doin backdrag.. it really isnt that dangerous... the bad stuff happens when ur horse goes nuts while hangin at his flanks...
