Crash and Burn - Horse Bloopers 2012

Video clips from the 2012 season showing horses and riders having a bad day. Video by MovingImagesNW and from a variety of events from the year. PLEASE READ BEFORE COMMENTING: Use the old adage - if you can't say something nice, then don't say anything at all. These brief clips are only moments in time and do not give you, the viewer, the whole story. Some of these events are recognized events, but most of the bloopers here are from schooling shows - so give a little grace to the horse and rider as they are probably learning the sport or moving up a division/level. There could be a variety of reasons why the horse refused the jump or the rider fell off and making a snap judgement about the moment will not be tolerated. MovingImagesNW reserves the right to delete such comments. Please enjoy this montage and smile, because as horse riders, we've all been here and know exactly the frustration and challenge that comes with riding and showing horses.

I appreciate them showing the riders getting back up! I hope nobody broke a leg! I can't believe those cross country riders were jumping in that thick fog!

[@cherylvantil6918]

You can just see it when suddenly the horse thinks "nope, not gonna do that one!"

[@shestwotents]

I love the ones where they're all unsure about the water lol its cute. And the ones where they aren't even approaching a jump terribly fast but still decide to bail

[@leezak7540]

Love your vids!!! Keep posting!

[@SuperEquestrian98]

0:41 was my favorite!!

[@SarcasticPony12]

2:59 wow... is she ok... she didn't even move

[@faithdennis3860]

that naughty pony at 2:56 !!

[@KaregoAt]

+Faith Dennis Naughty?? Nothing naughty about that pony... Bad riding more like. And it might not even be the kid's fault. Her coach or parents might have put her on an unsuitable horse or made her do something that she doesn't have the confidence for and the horse felt that. If you don't trust your horse or yourself, it has consequences.

[@quietriot7132]

Faith Dennis the rider didn’t signal much. Naughty would be her running and bucking after the rider falla

[@Tumblepatch]

Did the rider at :45 just shover her pony in anger? If she did she needs some serious words having with her!

[@MovingImagesNW]

Nope. She was fixing her saddle and shoving it up into place again.

[@ameliejacobus4012]

verry cool

[@Nickybeegee]

At 3:34 I am LMFAO! Sorry, I am NOT criticising, this one is ever so funny. Hope she did not hurt herself! I only do showjumping since I do not have the nerve to go over jumps that doe not collapse when I or my horse or both of us touch them ;-)

[@malkyarmstrong8266]

1:15 was my fave!!!

[@morghamp]

May I use this footage?

[@alyssadhorselover]

0:19 look at the length pf that horses tail. WOW :O so pretty

[@quietriot7132]

Alyssa Drysdale actually no. The length of the tail is pretty, but not for jumping. The horse with get hurt when they jump and rip out hair

[@Jasemin1]

Stupid to let a horse with such a long tail dooing jumps! Every time some hairs will get stuck and be pulled of. Thats hurts and can be much worse if the whole tail gets tangled somwhere.

[@Freedom-activist]

These are all poor performances but nothing hurts the horse's tail in this kind of activities.

[@AmynBuzz123]

what one is she? x

[@kokacolarox]

0:37 omg thats me :) haha

[@koniczka2000]

3:02 what this saddle can be?

[@louisemincey1668]

3.35 = ouch

[@amandawong4969]

2:00 I would never hit a horse when coaxing. it will only make it worse because the horse will associate hitting with the object.

[@coffeehugger]

I was hoping that horse was going to knock her into the pond.

[@averymarin1688]

that makes sense but also you have to put some effort in when tying to get a horse in water, she's not going to sit there and wait for it to go in on its own, it NEEDS something to tell it "hey im not messing around and im not gonna wait for you to get in the water, come on."

[@gloriousequine1435]

So many people in this video with 0 balance

[@saigel8881]

Why is the girl just laying there at 2:12?

[@Keymixable]

Might be a beginner with not so stable balance. :)

[@quietriot7132]

Saige L if the horse started running while she was getting up, she would’ve fallen

[@davidahoran5524]

2:20 was completely rider error

[@equiiponii3432]

Cut the horses tail ffs

[@ReppendeGangsterYeaR]

Wrm doen ze geen dresuur inplaats van springen

[@Foxsong]

Overmounted and undertrained, to a one...

[@abbifry5424]

:() some people dont know horses get scared
