Rolex 2009 Fall at Second Water

I'm not sure of the horse/rider combo, but it's the log drop at ten to the second water (eleven AB combo).

It's just a short clip; Check out my Rolex 2009 video-its better quality and its got tons of clips!

A horse actually died during cross country.

Yeah, it happened at the log drop (the first fence). it's so tragic.

It was so strange; I mean, ten wasn't supposed to be a super challenging fence. It was downhill off of a quick gallop stretch, maybe he just didnt back off and balance enough. however it happened im so sorry.

The horse that died was Kingpin, ridden by Mike Winter

well it's better then the horse collapsing at rolex yesterday

[mcook311]

i know that was so sad. i know this sounds bad but im so happy i didnt see it happen. this fall wasn't bad at all; just mixed things up a little haha

[84horsecrazy]

well at least the horse dragged him out of the water

the horse is just like "like are we stopping now?"

There was one fall that made them change all the jumps. the horse jumped too early, and flipped. It landed on it's rider, and she's still in rehab. It happened like three years ago. THe horse broke his neck and had to be put down on the spot. The tarp was up for like an hour.

what a lame fall. you'd think if you are riding at that level you'd try harder to stay on.

[battousaiblade]

well at least they are both ok, the rider didn't get trampled

Graceful Fall.. Doesnt always happen like that. and usually the horse gets freaked out and Peaces out!

@mcook311 the fall was NOT about the course. It was that the horse got a pulmenary hemorage, or his heart failed him basically. I think something happened in his stomach too... it was a freak accident

@eventsid yeah, i know i'm cowsrule222, i forgot i posted that, but i don't know how i confused them..,,, she does dressage tomorrow, and i'm stuck here at home not even able to watch because its not on tv

@cowsrule222 this isn't actually jennifer wooten, she fell at the double diamonds (the corner complex towards the end of the course), I was standing right there when it happened, just a freak accident luckily they were ok. (not trying to discredit you, just getting the details straight :)) She is a great rider and I love that mare, can't wait to see them go this year!!
