The horse did rear, but does anyone know why? The cinch on the saddle was loose. As the saddle began to slide, so did the rider. The rider in his effort to stay on not only covered the horse's face with the flag, he used the reins to try to stay on. That's an instinctive reaction, but that is what caused the horse to rear up and go over and down. I imagine the horse had his mouth ripped out. I hope the gentleman is ok and that people realize the horse was not at fault.

the horse tossing his head like that - something was wrong with the way the rider was holding the reins (which run to a metal object in his mouth - the BIT) poor horse AND poor rider.

um no ... you can clearly see that the cinch is way too loose. The saddle is sliding around under the belly...

Horses are amazing animals. 2 weeks ago, during the meteor showers, a flame fell down the night sky, hitting inside the horse corral, scaring my friend's horses. She saw it, but in the morning, there was no evidence of a fireball or charred remnents left on the ground. I wonder if it was a small meteor fragment or someone causing trouble.

@mfresh1965 It's always easier to blame the horse.

[mfresh1965]

@HokeeDokey They'll find a reason to blame the horse and off to the glue factory he goes. I love the donut stuffing sheriff coming up the rear ready to draw his service revolver and finish off the horse. Mr. Ed doesn't stand a chance.

you crazy fucker always filming with the GoPro

It's an awesome capture. It was confusing to see what happened in other videos I've seen, but this one reveals everything. And it's a relief to see the rider able to stand up and walk, too. Thanks
