Devon Loch's 1956 National Fall - Nara

The unexpected popularity of this video has made me decide to add a description to this video.
This was in England in 1956. The horse was uninjured and those who keep insisting he was need to learn how to use a search engine and stop swearing at me and telling me that I do not know anything about horses. I am very sorry that you have not reached a point in your life where you can just look it up. The horse and jockey where unharmed; the horse had a slightly sore back from this unique accident. It could have been much worse, but Devon Loch lived for years after the incident and even raced again.
