Budweiser Wagon Accident at the SA Rodeo 2023

Missed direction by the driver and this happened. The horse is recovered and back to work.

The downed horse in the video, according to reports from show officials, is "back in action," KRLD-radio in Dallas reported.

It's hard enough for a 2 ton horse to get up with a couple hundred pounds of equipment. Take it all off and up the horse goes. Beautiful.

[@donaldmatthies6026]

The shotgun driver was technically the first one on the scene, but how about the lady in the jacket that was the first responding person on scene, she went to the horses head, placed her jacket over it's head, probably held a pressure point,and stayed with the downed horse the entire time! Someone buy that lady a beer! Nice work!

[@ponyiq]

Almost all of the guys that train driving horses teach them to blindfold. They do it because if there is an accident ,it can be used without panic ( or at least the old guys that i watched training arabians, saddlebreds and the really big muleteams..)

[@jimmiematho8082]

the reason the shotgun driver is there is too hop off and run up and hold the lead horse when they stop,......he let that lead horse stare into a dead end stopped for way too long, i could see it coming 10 seconds before it happened.

Putting the hood on his head helped to keep him calm. It is what they do in barn fires when you have to lead a panicking horse out of the barn.

He actually could have stood up without a problem if that lady hadn’t put her jacket over his head and escalated the situation by disabling the horse. Horses were all fine but instead of calmly straightening everything out, this lady created a drama that didn’t actually exist.

@@michelleconrey4171, unless you regularly drive this team, lay off the criticism. The horse was taken care with no injuries, and for all you know, someone may have asked the woman to cover the horse’s eyes. Likewise, if she were mistaken, someone would have removed the cover.

[@melaniesbuchanan1759]

I almost cried when I saw the horse try to get up and just lay back down. I've had horses in and out of my life ever since I can remember, but I'm by no means knowledgeable when it comes to their care and such. But the speed at which the guy jumped down off that cart was impressive, to say the least! I was also impressed by everyone working together to get this horse back up off the ground. Didn't see any tension between them, they all followed each other's direction and queue... Add the announcer helping to keep everyone calm, which allowed for the horses to remain calm. Just amazing... The whole thing! ❤

[@moosedawg71]

I know people give Budweiser a hard time about the Clydesdales, but I've seen some of their facilities and talked to some of their handlers on a couple of occasions, and they really do care deeply for those horses and they are well taken care of. They're treated WAY better than the average high stakes race horse is, and have to do a lot less work and hard labor than a race horse. I think it was more the harness and yoke that was still on him that made it hard for him to get up as well as the stress of it. And it looked like his leg got pinched in some of the hitches, so his leg could be very sore as well. He's definitely breathing heavily, so no doubt stress is complicating it. Edit: fixed yoke for some grammar hammer on the Internet who felt the need to correct the autocorrect on my tablet.

[@gaydenmaccallum508]

My father loved the Clydesdales pulling the wagon. Had a blown up picture of it in the family room.

[@cathyann1601]

I agree. He will be sore for a few days, but he'll get the best care and recover quickly. They are a very calm breed of horse, and we could see that calmness exhibited with all of the horses after the accident. Of course, the calmness of the people around them helped a lot in getting the harness disengaged and untangling it all to free them, especially the downed horse.

[@staralioflundnv]

Yep, had a string of them as neighbors in California decades ago. IMHO: they should have immediately removed the harness tack on the downed horse before attempting to get him up. I've dealt with training driving horses and teams, seen my share of horses doing goofy stuff. Seems the driver was not fully attentive to his leads and his help should have caught those front lead horses before fully turning into the stands. Hopefully they study this incident and learn from it. Glad it came out as good as it did...thank God.

They are truly gentle giants. When I was about 12 I was on the ramp of the trailer they came to a parade in and they were all lined up facing the truck. I slipped off the ramp and fell between one of the horses legs and he didn't move. The men working with the horses pulled me out and not once did that horse move until he was told to. They made me go back up the ramp, so the horse could see I was okay. They told me to pet him and let him know he did a great job. I was so scared, when I slipped and fell, but it is a great story to share how great these gentle giants really are. I'm so happy he got up and walked away, I hope he is doing well. They are big babies for sure.

[@MonumentToSin]

It's more likely shock. Horses get a bit dazed when they fall, due to how unusual it is for them. Most of the time they don't really understand how they ended up on the ground and have to walk it off a bit. This sort of thing is so rare, and likely never occurred during their practices, so the horse is confused about what is going on.

Wow! Incredible teamwork! I managed a paint horse ranch for years. The owner was a wanna be cowboy, but a nice older retired guy who got himself into precarious positions with his horses. One day I was out running and I looked down the Valley and see a pregnant mare cast up against the pasture fence and flailing in a panic. I shouted and waved at the owner, a big man, who ambled towards the mare. I hopped a dozen fences and tore across the pasture ripping off my sweatshirt and sweat pants as I ran. The owner was very upset cause he didn't know what to do. I immediately covered the mares head and eyes with my sweatshirt, tying it down with the arms. I then had the owner talk calm to her and I ran off to fetch some soft ropes and a big easy gelding we had. I used my sweatpants to tie her front legs together like a hobble and made a rig tied to the gelding and pulled her over by her front legs. This very large paint mare popped up real easy and very preggo, but nice and calm. The owners eyes were popped out of his head. I suddenly realized that I was just in my bra and underwear and shoes. I just was very happy this gorgeous expensive mare was unharmed. The owner? He gave me the pick of the Spring foals.

They’re not just animals, they are legends and cared for like Kings. They love to perform and they love people and other pets. My dogs go by with me on walks when they are out and they look at my dogs with a nod. Sometimes they will come to the fence and sniff and nod. They are so regal and smart. If you ever visit St. Louis come tour the brewery and you can see them. No, I don’t work for A B ,but they are great for our city and we love our neighbor Clydesdales.

Second, I don't think I have ever been so emotionally invested in a YT video. The caption didn't prepare me for the angst as I saw the horses moving towards the accident, seeing the affected horses, the downed horse faltering, and then walking out of the ring...and the announcer was so great at not only calming the crowd but keeping me from flipping out. (Love the dalmatian who expressed his relief as they all left the ring -- I think we both started breathing again.)

I guess.. but, part of me can't help but feel like it might have been a lot more appropriate and helpful to announce to the crowd that they're going to go off mic for a little bit, so the handlers can more easily calm the animals, as well as communicate with one another verbally without having to yell or hear over some announcer babbling on with random facts about how much water the Clydesdales drink in a day! I would think whenever you have a large group of people responding to an emergency situation, them having the ability to communicate with one another is way more important than making sure the audience members don't grow bored due to a few minutes of "dead air".

A friend purchased 3 retired Budweiser Clydesdales, I've had the pleasure of interacting with them up close. You can't tell from the video, but these animals are massive. My friend has 2 females and 1 male. My son is 6'5", the male stands taller than him. Most of horses in video are male. That's a lot of very large animals, with very heavy equipment and harness attached to each other. I have so much respect for everyone involved, this could have gone terrible wrong. It shows so much about the Clydesdale, how strong and smart they are and this isn't just a job for the people working with them. The driver immediately saw a problem and jumped into action. If he got tangled up in this, he would have been hurt badly, but he put himself in danger to save the animals. He deserves an award, very brave! All the people that ran out were in danger! So proud to watch this and see so many do the right thing. I feel blessed everytime I get to be around them, they are truly majestic. If your at the rodeo when they are there, I encourage everyone to see them up close. You can only understand how truly amazing they are, when you are standing next to them.

@@wholeshebang1The reason for that was to give the audience something positive to focus on. If no announcer was speaking, and the horse had blood or other visible injuries that showed themselves during the untangling process, people in the audience may have screamed or made other noises that could have caused the horses to panic. This absolutely would have caused more injuries to the downed horse, plus every other horse would have been at higher risk of injury.

Like i said, no offense. Doug in Michigan

I can tell you from being at San Antonio showing cattle the entire event is manned by absolute professionals from start to finish . This shows that they are always on top of every situation. Hats off to these Budweiser teamsters.

[@deborahferrari9233]

That was a very professional regroup of horses and people. Everything remained calm. Hats off to the announcer great voice and calm talk!!]

[@ChernobylObsidian]

It took way to long to remove the harnesses. However, everything was handled so gracefully, as much as could be expected from the situation. I was in tears almost the whole time though, I was trembling! I am so glad that the horses are all okay and that there were no serious significant injuries or removals.

[@staralioflundnv]

Glad you noticed the harness as well. The downed horse was feeling the pressure of the harness wrapped incorrectly on his body and was at a loss what to do. I've trained horses to drive, the harness is one thing you immediately free them of when they get in a wreck. The driver was NOT attentive when his front lead horses started to turn into the bleachers in the arena, nor were his help. It should have never gotten as far as it did, I suppose when they review the entire incident they will see that. On another note, are you a fellow rockhound collecting obsidian? Cheers and have a Happy New Year

Well done to the shotgunner, announcers, ground staff and the medical team for handling this so well. I grew up down the street from the farm where these beautiful Clydesdales are bred for Budweiser so they’ve always held a special place in my heart. Glad the horse is okay!

@NuThobga why? Accidents happen, all is well, horse recovered.

[@jennifereddleman6656]

Kudos to the announcers for world-class stalling for time. They kept the crowd calm and at ease while giving interesting information to keep them entertained as well.

[@darroniverson]

I agree. The audience keeping calm and quiet, helped with the situation.

[@theosceola2927]

It looked like a miraculous outcome. I did wonder if the handlers would prefer the announcer to turn off his microphone while they calmed the horses. Also wonder why they don’t have a quick release mechanism on the harness.

[@michaelkirby655]

Kudos their mouth sounds like diarrhea spooking the horses even more

[@boathousejoed1126]

Agreed.

Was the crowd supposed to go into full panic and riot or something? Damn

How incredible these horses are, the ability to stay calm and not use their immense power to just thrash around… beyond impressive. The crew of people were also amazing in their response.

@Karl with a K Perhaps you are not aware of the differences in disposition of cold blooded horses and hot bloodied horses. Draft breeds are cold bloodied and even with their immense size and strength. They have calm dispositions. They don’t and any horse for that matter, need to be whipped into submission. I fed hay to cattle from a sleigh using Belgians and Clydesdales every winter in Wyoming. They were incredible horses and we loved and cared for them. Idiotic liberal, woke ignoramuses like your self would benefit from whipping into submission…

[@sly2392]

i actually broke down and cried when i saw the horse get up under its own power. WELL DONE TO ALL OF THOSE PROFESSIONALS.

stop being a cry baby!! This really was not that big of a deal AT ALL. You people are so soft its pathetic, nothing was going to happen here.

Oh me too

Same. I had a lump in my throat because I was pulling for the horse to be OK. Seeing it rise to its feet and walk out of that ring was wonderful.

Fantastic effort by the team I was very impressed with the quick response after shotgun Rider and then the young lady covering the horses head. I live in a place called Punchestown here in Ireland and I love horses look it up it’s some racecourse and we have five days here as well, but from now well done to everybody there, you have my respect❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@justice8563]

These horse are extremely pampered and it’s not surprising that they trust their handlers to get them out of such a serious situation. Just the fact that they were able to get the horse’s tack off with the one down without further panic, is commendable.

[@tphillips37]

They knew their people would take care of them.
