Kelsie Thatcher & Sublime were both okay!

0:12 what an amazing horse! i hope the ridder is alright poor girl

[BrightLights741]

@CelticCharm8 he's awesome :) and she was fine! :)

Honestly? Rider error. Everyone makes mistakes, you gotta give the horse credit, it jumped the friggin jump, even with the beyond shitty distance, now I'm not saying that I find perfect distances to every jump (TRUST me, I don't), but GOD, what an HONEST and well-natured horse to even put in his/her all and jump the jump! *Applause* for the horse.

It actually looks like she moved him up too much.

[peacebeauty101]

@xoxSherwoodxox Yeah I think she did too :)

[BlueRoanGal7]

ouch your her horse might need a martingale 

[afleetalgebra]

OMG that was terrible how high were the jumps glad they were okay

[LHSforever13]

[betterinthesaddle279]

I know this rider personally and trust me shes amazing. everyone makes mistakes. its called "being human" so get over yoursleves

[equestrian998]

omg that horse is stunning. omg "Igot it on tape!"

[agilityluvr]

I agree you moved him up way to much to just sit there and wait for the closing stride make a decision girl!!! however we all make mistakes and i cant say i havn't had plenty awful distances myself :P

[paininthebuttbilly]

Huge distance= bad results.....some worst then others.

[Scottylover4ever]

That was a little long... Just a little

[MetalSiicken]

OMG! wow....she could have REALLY hurt that horse or gotten hurt herself. they are BOTh VERY lucky. I have seen a bunch of those where rider doesn't get up, and worse, the horse doesn't....or does but there's a bunch of blood. I would way rather take a chip or refusal than swim my horse across something. these horses are too stupid sometimes, they want to please us, and look what happens.....
