I am quite sure the horse is Park Hall, a terrific grey gelding Karen rode for several years at the top level in the late 1980s/early 1990s. The other version of this video posted includes announcer Nigel Casserly on the PA, so I'm guessing it's Rolex KY in the early 1990s.

this poor horse what that does to his back is horrid...so sad

[rbartosz]

What a great horse to - first of all, keep his footing after such a slide - and second, to stand there so patiently while Karen regained her seat!!!

@Fall0utAtTheDisco i know right? lol if i tried to get back on like she was my horse would just buck me right back off

[JumperPony166]

She's strong!! What a good horse:)

[keodirtman2]

WOW! Perfect music! LOVE IT! That Karen is a wonderful freak of nature - she is my hero!

[stephanielauren2011]

i do think she probably would have come off if it hadnt been for her foot being wedged in the stirrup like that becaus eyou can see by the way she is hanging its stuck :L

no idea

Perfect example of why it is so important to teach a horse to stop and stand when something is going onto his back - or coming off of it. Also a perfect example of why no saddle should be sold without safety stirrups!
