  • I feel more sorry for the horse than the rider whenever i fall my horse always come back :)

  • was glad the horse at 1:12 go up and ran guess he was ok

  • its kind of slow, but i like it :)

  • 1:09 I can't believe that horse didn't snap both cannon bones.

  • I love it when the horse is like "Sorry, there is no way I'm going to jump THAT!" and the rider goes flying over its head. That'll teach them not to dress horses up in ribbons and try to get them to jump over cardboard castles.

  • did they have to replace the wall do u collect model horses breyers

    

  • oh wait how did he get his foot released from the wall

  • @etdell1 just kicked it off

  • how did he do that do u have a video on just that horse

  • @etdell1 no was just on a fall sequence, think he just got wrong strides

  • at 1:18 who did the horse get his hoof stuck and what were thoes holes in the wall did the horse do that

  • @etdell1 yer the horse stuck its hoof through and got it stuck, so yer the holes were made by the horse

  • Heavy days for those riders. Great video! It always cracks me up to see the horses keep running around the course after they've lost their rider.

    Classic =]

  • 2:23 was so depressing, having to watch sapphire tear through that jump again. Maclain actually came out of the ring and said "why didn't i just leave her aone, she knows her job; i got in the way" =]

  • @CamronTawney im probably being incredibly thick, but wasnt tht andrew nicholson (sp). nd anyone could have seen it coming, the horse was exhausted he did very well to keep her standing up until that point, just a pity she couldnt quite make it to the end, they were so close!

  • @nutter666f Boy am I blushing haha, i meant to type 2:53... oops =] but yes at 2:23 was nicholsons elimination from an otherwise quite succesful trip around the 3 day

  • @CamronTawney that makes a lot more sense :) i thought i was going crazy!

  • I understand why these horses are falling....THE JUMPS ARE TOO BIG! I love jumping and all......but that is much too high. Can you imagine how hard it must be on those poor horses legs? I understand that they are taken care of outside of the ring.....But the highest I will jump is 3 ft. Not 6ft or 8ft. Jeez.

  • @PalominoLove LOL the jumps arent too big. the majority of actual falls were from the pentathlon, where only non pro riders compete, they fell as the quality of horses was poor, and the riders were unable to ride them effectively. none of the jumps were 8ft. if the horses where unable to jump the hight they would not jump it. horses are not made of china, it doesnt hurt their legs, why be afraid to do anything with them? they will injure themselves in the field playing and galloping around

  • I think the song is chariots of fire or something.

  • what is the name of the song?

  • @Horsezrlife oh christ, you know what, i have absolutely no idea, i dont even have the file on my comp any mroe, sorry i cant help

  • Thats fine :) I have always hear it in videos along with slow motion of people falling and stuff. I was just curious cuz i could never figure out the name of it.

  • hehe thats coz its awesome :) if im not mistake it was in an old movie possibly caled chariots of fire, but i couldnt guarantee it

  • @nutter666f OK... i'll check it out thanks!

  • @Horsezrlife

    It's the main theme from the movie "Chariots of Fire".

    Vangelis did the soundtrack, I believe.

  • 1:20 poor precious llittle chubby horse got stuck! and poor rider!! aww love the vid btw

  • Did that bay that went through the break-away wall hurt himself? he looked lame when he trotted away. Great vid!

    It is terrifying, hilarious, and kinda uplifting(to see that even olympic level pros have off days) lol. Thx for anotha great vid!

    = )

  • @TheStewartFamily5 I couldnt find anyt info ont he horses, but i dont think it was too serios :/

    glad you enjoyed, thanx for commenting :D

  • that would be horrible, to fall at the olympics.

  • this just proves that even the best of us fall off sometimes

  • not the best music selection for this video. other than taht, nice!

  • Thank god for hats...

  • Most Of The Jumping Riders are Quite harsh and tend to be quite snobby and never stop to think that mabey sometimes tehre is a Less Well bred Horse That is brilliant at Jumping I ride a Long legged 20 year old gelding and he is an amazing Jumper He will Jump anything from standing still he has no Good Breeding behind Him

  • im not entirly sure you know what ur tlking abt, but of course u are welcome to ur opinions, thanx for commenting :D

  • 1:33 , WELL LANDED!! X gr8 vid x

  • she's a Canadian this has happened to them before because he's a looker and misjudged the jump

  • Sure is a good thing those show jumps were all collapsable, otherwise horse AND rider would've been severely injured

  • get over it... every rider and every horse has a bad dayy here and there...

    but that is the reason i am a dressage rider ( ",)

  • I hate the "whoops! & Uh-Oh moments" i ride western but still ever rider has a bad day every once in a while...just a part of riding!

  • thats poor quality of jumping considering how much those animals are worth....

  • a lot of the bad clips are from the pentathlon, so horse and rider sont exactly know each other very well. the rest are just mistakes

  • Thats not poor quality of jumping b/c even the best horses lik these horses are not perfect as this video & other videos show...every1 has there ups & downs to riding.

  • The lower showjumping fences were from the pentatholon - which is a circus in it's own right, considering alot of the riders have not met the horses, have not been riding terribly long, and generally only take a weekly lesson compared to riding 6-7 horses every day like most riding pros.

  • excuse me but it looked like a VERY tough course and these "animals" had flown 1000 of miles to be there, it was probably very offputting, and the XC was in the poruing rein.

    think before you speak. and tbh a lot of these were rider faults.

  • Ugh, that REALLY sucks, that's so disappointing. I love the song though, haha.

  • the video or falling off at the olympics thats disapointing?

  • the second horse in the video shouldnt be allowed to jump! hahah

  • lol y nt?

  • "super-man" jumpers is what we call them(or what my jumping friends call them) and they can be very dangerous if not corrected because instead of the cannon bones(which are of course protected by boots) hitting the rails their hooves go straight into the wall and they will fall just about 100% of the time.

  • ohhhh ok, that makes sense, but i think that was the only jump it did tht at, it did take of rather rediculously early

  • Thanks for that. I was at the xcountry phase at Hong Kong and it was amazing but never saw any tv coverage.

  • wow tht must have been amazing to watch, hopefully i will get to c th 2012 olympics

  • Would you mind if i use these? I am not needing them at the moment but, i would enjoy them for my next fall video. =]

  • hi ummmm afraid u cant take these, seeing as there not really mine to give, they are the BBCs, i think they are available on a website somewhere, and they would b better quality too, sorry :D

  • Um okay thanks

  • oooch some of those have got to have hurt, but somehow funny too:)

  • yehh lol mi thorts exactly, felt sorry for the horses in the pentathlon tho

  • i never saw the olympic horse bits except the Modern Pentathalon which was HYSTERICAL but painful at the same time. Thanks for posting this :)

  • hehe thanx, i didnt see the modern pentathlon, but really wish i had, i only caught the falls bit. :D
