Does anyone know what breed of horse this is?

[MrBschoeman]

@AlleMeineLiebe These are American Saddlebred show horses. For more information about the breed, go to the site for the American Saddlebred Horse Association asha.net.

perhaps a little less screamng from the crowd would help prevent these accidents....

[MissHeatherAnn1]

@bayyliner The horse was getting a bit nancy before the scream. But the scream probably tipped it over the edge

[TheEventingStar]

I think that horse should get a tail trim, its dangerous.

[JasperIsaLittleHorse]

You could tell this horse was fixing to rear the second this video started.

[LopeForestLope]

That horse was really ancy before the scream, but that probably sent him over the egde. But, it also coulve been something the rider did to make him tip. But, we will never know so its not worth arguing about.

@bettsa15 long toes, weighted shoes. They do a whole bunch or wacky stuff to "enhance" their gait.

[NotAfraidOfFlight]

I dont think that horse want 2nd place haha how scary!

[Briarrose2713]

@bettsa15 Their hooves are kept longer. Also with Saddlebreds, and TWH they use a wedge with a steel shoe over that. It causes that high action step that the crowds love. I have a TWH and couldn't imagine stacking him...he's too tall as it is!!

[bettsa15]

I'm not familiar with this breed, but are they ment to have long toes?

[rustyhorseandshiann]

it got mad cause it didn't win lol

[LadyAlcantar]

Show horses are accustomed to various noises. They have their moments just like we do

[Hunterjumpereventer]

My horse was a saddle seat horse (though he is a morgan), initially trained the same way, the training has messed him up! I cant TOUCH a whip, and thats with being in a big arena, without him freaking.
