andarilho, critérios 2009

[@dshealey3015]

1st, that horse is a SAINT! #2, apparently, money can't buy everything (talent, graciousness and brains)! And back to #1. THAT HORSE IS A SAINT!

[@jamieban]

That poor horse's back :(

[@makaylamarlin2247]

I know it has got to hurt

[@redapril1990]

That poor animal's back and mouth is destroyed. Paralyzed or not this is cruel. He has no idea how amazing that pony is to be able to jump and stay so in balance while he back is being pounded on and his mouth used to steady a fat bastard.

[@fintamariaanna5858]

Even if it's for charity, I don't like it. It was way too dangerous for both the horse and the rider. The showjumper and polo rider could have "swapped saddles" without risking their lives and the horse's health - I don't have anything against making fun of yourself in a saddle, but next time do it in a safe and reasonable way, because what happened here is just nonsense.

[@LE123LE123]

This is an example of good intentions (For charity) with a bad execution (welfare of the horse). He slams on the horse---regardless of his riding abilities, he's not taking into consideration the difficulty this horse has with his 'comedy'.

[@reneesternhagen1872]

it scared all of my barn while watching... this man has NOOOOO business riding... this horse is a saint! Thank God the guy can't have children anymore after this ride!

[@sarahlanham3792]

How did they teach him to ride??! "Ok, when you go over a fence, jump as high as you can out of the stirrups. Try to touch your toes together. That is the main goal."

[@1Whipperin]

Too bad the rider didn't keep up his end of the deal as well as the horse did.

[@batmanandrocco9385]

This "jockey" needs to be BANNED, FINED and IMPRISONED!

[@MeninaLivre]

The text at the end of the video reads: We guarantee that the animal was left with only a small back pain, and that it was in perfect condition the next day to return to jumping. So anyone claiming that the horse's back was not affected is incorrect. Also, the rider is NOT paralyzed (which can be clearly seen in the video). His name is Vítor Gonçalves, and was riding for Carlos Simões. He is still riding and recently placed third in a class at the National Showjumping Competition A** in Portugal riding Eguador. The horse Andarilho was for sale at the time, so some have suggested that it was all a marketing stunt.

[@bartaloskriszti]

Áldott jó ló az ilyen, amelyik egy ilyen rettenetes lovast 2 pillanatnál tovább elvisel a hátán! Minden ugrás után a teljes testtömegével a ló gerincére esik vissza. Szerencsétlen jószág a jóindulat mintaképe lehetne, a lovast meg el kellene tiltani állatkínzásért (folyamatos fájdalmat okoz a lónak az ügyetlenségével) a lovaglástól vagy vissza kellene küldeni az iskolába!

[@iriszke22]

Hát igen.. A szárat is csak rángatta, a felvétel elején is látszott hogy húzza a ló száját. A belső száron fordítgatta folyamatosan, azt pedig nem tudom, hogy hogy tudott az ugrásoknál kiesni a nyeregből. Mondjuk, csak ül ott a lovon, nem csinál semmit.

[@jenniferbryant9470]

The back story on this is that it was an exhibition ride in Spain, during which polo teams and jumping teams 'switched disciplines.' Hence the mess over the jumps, but somehow the rider still has the ability to point and shoot his horse around a course anyway. It's not a Grand Prix horse, just a nice little Andalusian who can navigate a 3'6" - 3'9" course without getting pissed off about the loose-limbed 'stylings' of his pilot.

[@michellehoyt8218]

I call bullshit...... he did first double and one he lost stirrup normal....... that shit was intentional and disgusting

[@maguilera69]

I think maybe he needs to install a trampoline on that horse.

[@asrotties]

A dark mark on this industry. What a horrid display of animal abuse I hope the pony got to retire after that and had a good vet check and care after that.

[@onexslickxtrick]

You know what's totally awesome about this guy that I wish I could do? Loose my stirrup mid air and magically land with it right back on my foot again. I would pay good money for that kinda skill!

[@FrancescaHopee]

That is the most honest horse i have ever met. Im suprised he hasn't broken the horses back.

[@SchachtStudio]

Balls of steel! And apparently the horse had a back of steel!

[@NooskyPoosky]

Someone please for the love of that horse, take it aware from him. Seriously, never be this guy.

[@marthadodd1]

I believe he is a stunt rider. He always regains his stirrups quickly, and his upper body always stays steady. He has probably duped us all!

[@bushwren]

this is the most amazing bit of riding I've ever seen! Amazing that the pony puts up with being caught in the mouth like that, amazing he didn't lose his stirrups more often and seriously amazing that the guy stayed on...amazing yet horrible

[@xOutdated]

If its you? I hate you, learn to jump pls. Your horse can, you can't. I don't know what handicap movement you make there but it's not normal..

[@EllieKat]

I cannot believe this... the rider recovered pretty damn well from being nackered so many times...

[@StudlyFudd13]

Wow....that was scary...I was just waiting for him to come off, but it never happened. That dude has some really good balance :)

[@Starflite]

I have been looking for this video for MONTHS and I'm so glad I finally found it. Nothing like watching this failure to make you feel better about yourself XD

[@miekiepiekie1]

He is a western rider. He and his friend (a Jumping rider) thought it would be fun if they change My english is very bad. haha

[@GrayEyedGirl845]

We were watching this at my barn today; my trainer said that if that horse ever goes up for sale, she wants it. :P And we all agree that it should be made a Saint.

[@Chloe-pf2bq]

props to the first horse who refused the jump

[@ShowJumperHunter1]

I think he jumps better without stirrups.. ;) What a great pony!

[@bigfishbovvl]

I feel a little bad for the poor horse... but man this is one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life!

[@traceyreed7831]

That pony is a saint!!!

[@grothstein]

wow that guy never gave up even though he almost fell off a couple of times

[@caitlinlfantin]

This is the most tolerant horse I think I've ever seen..,

[@lilyabbo]

This has to be the most honest horse ever to put up with that!

[@passionforpiebalds]

The pony at the red fence was like "you know what.... NO.... Ive had ENOUGH!!!!" I don't blame him/her poor pony :(

[@breyerhorselover5562]

Wow.. Bless this horse for baring through that, and not throwing him off.

[@deathcabforcutie67]

I'm not sure I understand how you can be that bad a rider with a horse that has that big of a heart. Bless him, I hope he retires to some lovely pasture.

[@LyssandLayla]

I seriously don't know what this man was thinking. That pony was way to honest for him. And to be honest if he rode my horse like that, she definitely wouldn't have been so nice

[@liesldalpe5747]

How DARE he strike the horse after he failed to jump that last one. The horse had enough. This guy CLEARLY has no clue what he is doing. That horse has a heart of gold for putting up with as much as he does.

[@officialshylowen]

The rider's name is Vitor Gonçalves - He's not handicapped... Also this was NOT a pentathlon, or a polo/jumper exchange as some rumours are saying. The event was the Campeonato de Cavalos Novos (championship of young horses) in Lisbon, Portugal - It was the 1m jumper class. The results are under Campeonato de Cavalos de 4 Anos (championship of 4 y.o. horses) here is the

[@J19huskies]

That horse is a saint!

[@Aezyme]

What is this ? I can't believe my eyes. This horse is really really nice... I was waiting for this moment when everything stopped.

[@Sniffysmyboy]

He actually jumped civilized when he lost his stirrup...

[@Soddda]

What an honest horse.. someone earned his oats!

[@ecupins]

Look really. He never hurts horse's back. He absorbs the fall with his knees. Very strange style but not a bad rider at all. Very good balance and the horse doesn't seem to be bothered by his rider.

[@DreamingUnicorn]

I admire that horse's patience and tolerance... I am a very patient person, but if I were that horsie, I would throw him of my back after the second jump... O.o

[@MyPoniTequila]

I love that horse...

[@saddleclub17]

This is practically abuse to the poor horse. What an angel...

[@eventer5]

that is one dang good pony

[@Elmo9607]

That horse is a SAINT!!!!

[@SuperSuperolivia]

the horse is fantastic, i wuld not even think of jumping with a rider like that

[@Marleyaye]

Omg. poor horse. The horse is gorgeous. no words for the rider..

[@OuterSpaceMe]

That pony is a saint if i ever saw one!

[@Dooooodle]

I'm amazed he wasn't thrown off, what a tolerant horse

[@terriduderstadt6053]

That was so painful to watch, that I didn't watch the whole thing. That horse is excellent, because it completed the course in spite of the rider. Hope it's back wasn't too sore afterwards.

[@PonyJumperGirl1]

this song is perfect!!!!!!it makes me wanna cry cause i dont like horses (srry if i offendent anyone) but i love ponies..they r my life

[@heatherkelman4007]

That fold is top notch tho

[@fluffideer1066]

WHAT IS THAT SEAT LMAOO HE IS LITERALLY A SACK OF POTATOES :DDD that poor horse oh my god

[@rahelluik6164]

omggg , what did i just saw ?? like seriously, poor horse, this horse really deserves better rider.

[@caseyrescue4859]

I cant imagine how much back damage this horse has...

[@debbiegregory100]

that horse is a saint!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@punahele85]

I dare say he won't be having kids haha. I'm amazed he even stayed on the horse!

[@WeirdAille]

That poor horse did really well to clear those jumps, no wonder it refused one! What an honest horse, i hope it has a good home and doesn't have to be subjected to such an idiot of a rider anymore! :/

[@RedRoan23]

He is one of those oh so many riders whom pay to have the horse ridden and trained everyday and only shows on weekends thinking he can ride once a week or less and win win win!!!

[@superspysuzie]

That has got to borderline animal abuse...I mean, god, think about that poor horses back! But I have to say, that horse is a trooper for putting up with that guy.

[@MariaVana]

I really want to buy this horse he jumps super well and hes brave

[@2piskle2]

:OOOOOOO wtf? the rider is not normal as well, I admire this horse....

[@ImmortalSynn]

Can't even watch this, had to cut it off. The fact that that horse chose not to DESTROY this freak, speaks volumes about its character. Most horses wouldn't have even given that person a second chance, much less saved his life over every friggin' jump. Whoever was managing this show/event should NOT have let this go on.

[@SillyFillyGirl]

there are no words to describe this

[@RingoEventer]

Title: Andarilho (hiker), criterios (criteria) 2009 Words at end: "I guarantee that the animal was left with only a slight back pain, and that was the next day in perfect conditions to jump"

[@sskeels]

Apparently it was a thing where polo players and showjumpers swap horses or something... but even if he only played polo he should still have a basis in basic jumping...

[@Hejmandiz95]

omfg i laughed SO much when i saw this video, but i feel SO sorry for the horse too.. :(

[@WildAppy22]

my back hurts just watching this

[@TheHorseLady1212]

What an honest pony...

[@HorseRider5545]

How come NO ONE Stopped him! Jeez if I was an official, I so would've been like "DQ!!" I am not much of a jumper, i prefer flat, but @ least I have a solid form. What a GREAT pony tho! :D

[@redrider4show]

He isn't a polo player, I can tell you that much. And if he was a polo player, he definitely wasn't a top ranked polo player. His name is Vitor Goncalves. From what I've gathered, he just has a metric buttload of money and decided to get into jumping. Supposedly he always jumps this way.

[@Kokischan]

Geezus... I was laughing until I cried... X¨D I feel so sorry for the poor horse but seriously... what the hell is he doing it for!? It looks absolutely lifethreatening.

[@msfwb]

very good rider, i like his style!

[@Mnalhathal]

would like to know if his nuts were aching at all after this round.

[@TheHeartNeverLies442]

that horse is a saint

[@EventerForever93]

that horse is a saint, he needs a new rider asap

[@klbeau]

I kind of feel for the man riding that horse, because he obviously isn't that experienced in what he is doing, so he can't help landing on the horse's neck each time. But... that horse deserves a much more experienced rider with its skill level. It's a great jumper, and the skill shouldn't be disrupted by the rider; the rider should assist the horse in every jump. This rider is just on the horse for guidance around the course. The horse is doing all the work.

[@coyotekat]

That is a GOOD horse holy shit

[@moxmortuusdiabolus]

that horse is so honest! looks like he's have a nice jump in him if he had a decent rider. only one refusal and one (?) pole down when riding like that is unreal. horse riding is supposed to be a partnership.

[@Ringading45]

I can't believe the pony kept jumping! The best jump was when the rider didn't have her irons. Take them away for a very long time. The poor pony will have a very soar back to say the least, and will stop jumping....

[@petra_icelake]

Who else is here in 2020

[@Becca96D]

This horse seriously saved this guys ass. Someone should have stopped him after the second jump...

[@Leslieconnito]

I hope the horse's back is okay... Looks pretty in humane.

[@TinkerKilken]

he's a show jump rider who jumps with a polo horse. it's some tradition, polo players and showjumpers change horses. it's supposed to be funny, well i think it's not. i bet the horse doesnt like that. what a kind horse, still jumping over even though the rider swings all the time. - sorry for my bad english(:

[@TatixTouchxNinskopp]

Oh shit.. ... aber man muss sagen, klasse pferd !

[@hrjeffers]

I don't actually understand how he has been allowed to ride that. its mean!! poor horse!! guts for carrying on though and staying glued on too!!

[@louvarun]

Rolalala!! Mais j'ai jamais vu ça! Quel horreur! Et quel poney en or!!!

[@daziet]

This horse did come up for sale a couple of days after this was first posted back in october! I would say they are looking for the sympathy vote ;)

[@dannidanni]

How has this guy not broken the poor horse's neck or back yet? Christ, I don't even ride and that was the most painful equitation I can even imagine.

[@osceolapug]

This makes my crotch hurt just watching. This pretty much is the definition of "riding for a fall"

[@pelleruler3]

How does that man dare to hit that horse when he was being such a good boy!!

[@IvanaM.]

THAT MAN IS NOT A SHOWJUMPER!! That man is an elite horse polo rider & he switched the discipline with some famous jumper. It was an exhibition ride, not standart. This man had never jumped before. This is why he has this horrible style. The horse is a real saint, though.

[@Niesje1985]

Poor Lusitano, don't know who the 'rider' is but this is....No words for it :'-(

[@hastalskare]

Poor horse, Is it not any judges there who can tell the rider to not compete anymore and that he have a fantastic horse who not would be treated like this. fantastic horse who still jumpes

[@MuscleAndFuss]

@facetiousbadger I laughed :) I totally agree about the mouth thing, also that's a good thing for a polo player...

[@NoSassenach]

Reminds me a bit of Kevin Bacon... He used to hover over his horse as well during the jumps....
