Horse steeplechase race accidents

After seeing two horses fall over a hurdle i quickly grabbed my camera and started filming the rest of the race where a few more horses fell and one crashing into the side rail.

I love how that one horse keeps going without a rider... I wonder if he could win first place, even though he doesn't have a rider.

@djxlove5 once a rider falls that horse is immediately disqualified from the race, the horse managed to keep up because of the less weight.

I think this shows that the racehorses aren't necessarily coerced into running... The riderless horse had no trouble at all keeping up with the other ones and from his (and several other horses') body language it was evident that he enjoyed every second. Freedom of motion, the ears pointing forward, an excited expression etc.

Grow up you pussies ! The guard rail is plastic - if you want to campaign against humans hurting things - campaign against Israel, America and UK wanting to kill innocent Iranians in pursuit of oil and power. If you can't get off your ass for that - do us all a favour and please do not breed and infect our society !

Start watching at 1:15 or this video is completely lame. Riderless horse is totally awesome.

I like how that riderless horse just kept on running. Did everything right except running into the side rail.
