How to fall of a Racehorse

racehorse fall on the gallops

[@UziDoesIt8818]

He's a good boy after you fell he stood there and waited

[@rajeevbhardwaj8514]

Wonderful

[@stripeyhorsestudios7800]

Hope you are ok? And what a good boy he is for just standing there with his bridle off on the floor. Money can't buy a temperament like that and no one could have helped what happened. It's just one of those things. Well ridden up to that point. It also looks like a professional fall, have you had lessons on how to roll before because it looks quite smooth. Xx

[@guymofo1971]

not lessons, just lots of practice :)

[@anniekekoegelenberg1301]

Hehe see what you did there.

[@arianefulton9052]

Wait they’re supposed to teach you to fall off I was always told to just learn it myself LOL

[@anonym2528]

damn that horse is faster than my scooter... time to get a horse then

[@linnstarland7781]

MY exact words

[@guymofo1971]

Anonym scooters are cheaper to feed tho lol

[@guymofo1971]

Me personally, I never rode this horse because as you say, years of experience and even then this horse was very challenging to ride.

[@alicediamondson817]

See scooters don’t poop

[@epicfromepicgames8222]

Anonym scooters are slow.

[@noor4036]

Urgh every equestrian falls off, and yes most of the times it's the riders fault but you can't freaking blame her for anything she did. I could go into detail about everyone falls here but that's just crazy. She fell, and i'm glad she is alright. And so is the horse! of course something even worse could have happend but IT DIDNT! so just zip your mouths and be nice.

[@mazymay6911]

[@KaienKuran]

Miau Noor is talking about the rider not the horse

[@Ra-rg1vk]

Why are u so aggressive? I didn't read any negative comments here before yours popped up🤣

[@TC-mb2dl]

Younger riders watching- Let go of the reins when you fall!!!! So important! Sometimes things happen so quick we cant do it- but you gotta try! I like how he just stood there 🧡

[@heartinheartextras8112]

It happened very fast. She didn’t really have time to slow down and calculate how she she should fall. And everyone makes mistakes. ❤😊

[@Jess._.Equine13]

And if your out in a large area with lots of things they can hurt themselves or get caught on, please try *hold* the reins so your horse doesn’t go hurt itself

[@phoenixsong1294]

My horse is to fat to go around the corner at 29 mph he would roll away before he got to turn XD Edit: he is not obese he is just fat he is a lesson pony and he isn't really all that bigger then what he is suppose to be but we just like to make jokes but I do love griffin

[@silverkitty2503]

awh!

[@turboeq4983]

😂😂 I’m guessing this is a race fit horse though xx

[@avelynjuno9300]

LMAO

[@Starry_Night_Sky7455]

Kermit wanted to show you how he can stop from 30+ mph. He's like, hey, I'm fast. I also have brakes.

[@prideeverystride8403]

And he's so good for just staying there and waiting for you!

[@anniekekoegelenberg1301]

Great tuck and role, the worst is that millisecond when you realize that you are going to fall and you just get your shoulder in underneath you. Good job showing a little first-hand experience of what it looks like.

[@Maddie_Equestrian129]

Yeah my first fall felt different though, I was just in the air, on the ground, and then I realized what happened, but I couldn’t believe it

[@silleenevoldsen9210]

Very useful tutorial, I was struggling with this issue.

[@Min-xh8ho]

What a good boy, hope you’re alright!

[@lexjohnson0803]

One of my worse falls was almost exactly like this. I took a 10 year old OOTB on a 1/4 mile track in my friends back yard and it was his first time back on a track. My friend was up ahead of me and we wanted just a canter she goes off and then my horse takes off full gallop. (I’m thinking his competitive side came in and he wanted to race) boy did I fall hard. It was 110% my fault but reminded me of this. Hope your okay as well!

[@guymofo1971]

yeah Angela survived with not much more than a bit of what we in the motorcycling world call gravel rash.

[@minafish722]

yeah the white fence totally spooked him!

[@bendy6626]

That little ear twitch as they come up to the fences was the tell 😮

[@lexifeldmann5353]

Amazing that the horse stopped right after fall, even as bridle is dangling. Not bad for a T-bred!

[@richardhelliwell1210]

Note to self - Kermit doesn't like white rails....

[@ormonde1111]

What happened? So glad he didn't break a leg or anything. And we're you ok?

[@plantsbatsandcats]

ormonde1111 it looks like he started to get worried about the white fencing to either side of the track. Look at his ears a head carriage and his ears, specially with how she said he‘d slowed down a bit.

[@alicodm5120]

He died

[@madamebkrt]

@@alicodm5120 Idiot.

[@sugerandlemon]

Owch :/ it looks like you took off his bridle :D

[@x.piercethesara.x1553]

Kind of looks like the rails spooked him a little. My horse does that sometimes if i set up a new jump for her, the horse probably wasn’t familiar with the track and so it didn’t expect the rails.

[@bullterrierinpoodlecostume]

mistakes happen. i thought you handled the fall perfectly. it’s better to roll off to the side than in front of the horse as it could cause all sorts of minor damage to his face and neck (depending how heavy you are). not sure why everyone’s getting triggered in the comments tho. mistakes happen and it’s about making the situation as good as it can possibly get that’s important and causing no excess damage x

[@SZYB3]

Yep white rails spooked him.... look at his ears just totally forward and not on rider and bit just before he stops...

[@Kaa_-jw5gd]

Sue Brown that's what I am saying

[@VinylScratch19]

I think it was the barriers across the field not the rails

[@plantsbatsandcats]

Kendal Bailey I thought that too, but I can‘t really pinpoint which it is.

[@ataysiaallon1168]

he didn’t spook he tripped . if he was spooked he would have darted to a different direction. like to his left side, he simply tripped. i train horses and this, was not a spook.

[@mikeacri8524]

@@ataysiaallon1168 if he tripped he probably would've gone down with the rider. He came to a stop

[@CharlotteWeb100]

Best feeling ever is coming out of a turn and onto the straight. “LUDICROUS SPEED - GO!!!” No idea why but I always thought the rider was a guy. Never occurred to me until you came off and made a distinctly female “urggh!”

[@benjam0]

Kermit came with an ejection seat.

[@milliegibsonxoxo802]

He is such a good boy and you are an amazing rider

[@believeinyourself7511]

I am glad he did not fall on you. I rode racehorses for 15 years at the farms and racetracks.

[@ajm.eventing1034]

is the horses mouth okay? saw the bridle on the ground!

[@kiersten.k3517]

Aly Marschall at the start of the video he was jerking on the reins alot to

[@misstoast5604]

Roisin Vincent horses can get loose

[@Violet-tf1rd]

Probably, when she'd fallen the pressure moved to behind his ears for a short time, because after that it slipped off over his ears which doesn't hurt too much and he probably saw it coming and if he did he opened his mouth for the bit. It might've scraped over his teeth or behind his ears but horses are tough animals, they can play roughly and not be hurt so don't worry :)

[@anamariescrenock7145]

Roisin Vincent, It’s a primary reflex to hold onto something. Horses have strong mouths and I’m sure the horse was okay.

[@madieemilyyy4797]

Aly Marschall it’s slipped forward so the bit was good it seems

[@karentjuhh101]

Wow the camera is not shaky at all, you manage to move along very well with a fast gallpoping horse (aside from the fall :p)

[@schonewillevera]

Title: how to fall of a racehrse Me: don't just don't it's going to hurt I promise

[@nicolesvajdlenkova6941]

Well ridden, he really is a good boy

[@irishelk3]

Right, so how do I fall off a racehorse?.

[@megand.7487]

well first go to an indoor arena when its windy, have bad balance, and the horse will spook at the door moving.

[@megand.7487]

then you will fall

[@madamebkrt]

If you're me? Have "just one more canter" after he starts showing signs of overexcitement.

[@verniixxx9191]

Wowza, that's actually a really nice fall? That sounds weird ack, but the roll was nice considering there was little to no preparation for it. I'm glad everyone is okay, or that's what I'm taking from the comments. Great horse, amazing temperament, awesome speed! My horse is fat and lazy so I could never get her to go over 10 mph haha someday!

[@equestrian975]

I saw the invisible gate close -hence his stop Glad you’re ok!

[@davezed5466]

fast as fucc boiiiii!

[@guymofo1971]

Favorite comment so far !!

[@lesleywilbourne7823]

Hope you’re ok 👌 think he might have been testing his brakes 😂 xx

[@yaemiko7582]

Damn that was a pretty nasty fall

[@celestevanvuuren1022]

I hope you are ok. Thats a good horse and looks nice to ride.

[@naomigrant9248]

Wow that’s amazing😱😍

[@cecilieelvius9195]

WOW!! RESPECT! i really hope ur ok! 💖

[@alexismarsh8433]

I love that he horse waits when she falls my horse would just gallop off

[@Kaa_-jw5gd]

I think he got spooked by the fencing

[@cm6995]

I'll have to be reborn again to ever go that fast on a horse. Love horses and love riding them too!

[@egmontosaurus1433]

wow that is sooo fast

[@_WanderIust]

So glad you two are fine. This is my main fear when my anglo arab is doing the same and having fun in the forrest. I always try to relax and enjoy it but i m also prepared for this..

[@PunchyGrace]

I’ve done that before except I fell on rocks. It’s not fun at all! I was so mad at my horse because the thing that spooked him was a pole that had been laying in the same spot forever and he had seen it a million times.

[@guymofo1971]

Ellie Grace Mobley haha, kermit, the horse in this vid, would spook at things that were no longer there. We took him on a hack once where we walked past a parked car on a lane which was gone when we came back and we couldn’t get him past the point where it was parked. Quite funny in hind-site but really annoying at the time

[@chantalprins3360]

Ellie Grace Mobley bruh.

[@pdjdjdjdjd5500]

It’s not your horses fault, be mad at yourself

[@guymofo1971]

pdjdjdj djd so you knew my horse did you? You think this is the only horse I’ve ever owned? Armchair experts!! You know nothing about this horse and you feel entitled to make that sort of a comment. Good luck going through lie basing decisions with no reliable data to work from.

[@pdjdjdjdjd5500]

Guy Finnegan So it’s ok to blame your horse on a situation you put them in? It’s a horses natural instinct to be spooked, no one should be mad at their horse. It’s not about individual differences as most equestrians use as a pathetic defence so it’s never their fault. Also, I was replying to the first guys comment

[@rhondaserges5136]

Nice landing .. I had an ex racehorse aqha .. Let him go a couple of times. It was great.

[@prideeverystride8403]

That was some speed ;D such a shame you fell off!

[@747fa]

As with the French Foreign Legion, "One must be ready for the unexpected."

[@saraa6872]

today my horse spooked at a train and took of right behind the train i was so scared and just jumped off her 😹😹

[@-traininggem-8254]

And this is why you let go of the reins when you fall. Keeping hold of your horse isn’t worth the risk of tearing up his mouth.

[@sararose5263]

Oh I see. He was going so fast that he tripped and made you fall. That happens alot on the track it could kill the horses.

[@guymofo1971]

+WeAreTheFallen No, he didn't trip, he just stopped, very quickly, possibly because of the approaching white rails.

[@guymofo1971]

he didn't trip. he just stopped, very quickly

[@emiliaksenijakrantz3865]

he went faster before he fell, he was actually at a slow pace (for a racehorse) when he stopped. He probably tripped himself by spooking at the white rails.

[@guymofo1971]

Ksenija Maksimora he just stopped. He had mental issues which made him do stuff like that. He was the most sure footed horse at speed you could hope for. Of you watch the approach to the rails he actually slows, ears forward, goes a little choppy then stops for no other reason than he was a bit of a nutter.

[@KeciapTube]

Ksenija Maksimora no

[@caroline377]

Ouch. Hope you were Ok! Nice ride though!

[@izzybaby5360]

whenever i have fallen i have always let go of the reins beacuse as you can see here she or he has taken of the reins of the horse which probably hurt the horse i know it all happened so fast but please try and remember to . not blaming you at all by the way 🐴

[@kashesan]

This was thrilling! Hope you are ok after that fall.

[@mariemceniery4843]

And that’s children why we wear helmets XD

[@yeahsure9035]

Great ride; nice horse. Sorry about the fall. God Bless ✝

[@lissvazquez8649]

Goodness! Hope you and he are alright! He just SLAMS ON THE BRAKES!

[@taylor-7566]

looked rough and i’m glad nobody got hurt.

[@broedfilth]

Ouch!!! I hope you're ok!

[@Xciss0rs]

I've also fallen off a horse. When I was little I went to riding school and there was a sertain horse that just hates me. For no reason. First day I was going to ride her and she bit me(not so hard though). But she was super kind to others, and when I was riding her she turned so she could bit my leg (tried) causing me to flinch to the other side and fell.. yeah.. that was the last time I got to ride her..luckely next I got to ride a horse that became my favorite. And i loved happily ever after THE END

[@madamebkrt]

OMG so glad to see someone has experienced this! I still ride at a riding school and the other week was put on a horse who bit me on the leg. I was so shocked, but instead of falling I shoved her head away and switched horses lol. In 10 years of riding I never once considered that was possible.

[@SilverScaleMA]

Yeah, after the first 15 seconds I figured that this wouldn't end well... did he just stumble or shy at the fences, maybe get a rock stuck in a shoe? Did seem like he was favoring one of his front legs slightly at the end...

[@nbt3663]

As a non horse rider (❤horses) can explain what happen? Did you lose you balance leaning forward? Did he slowdown before you were ready? I'm amazed you didn't break your wrist or arm. I imagine a horse is like a boat... 35 mph is fast to the senses.

[@madamebkrt]

It looked like the horse tripped to me but that may just be the camera playing tricks because I haven't seen anyone else mention that.

[@darlenefraser3022]

What caused that fall?

[@lorelaik8182]

Hope your alright // this is why I don't ride on asphalt (road) because when you fall it hurts a lot worst then sand dirt or grass. And yes I say when you fall Cuz your always guna fall if your riding a race horse at top speed

[@changingleads4017]

Lorelai K it wasn’t asphalt :) mulch and dirt

[@alpalmieri8644]

Horses have bucked me off but i have never fallen off a horse ever.

[@melodymoore9765]

Bendy railings. He stayed with you. Were you ok after the fall?

[@jw9737]

Now that's some horsepower! There, I said it.

[@josephraguso2838]

Yes it happens quickly.. I witnessed many people falling off. I have found myself come out of the saddle a few times. A good quarter horse can do that as well as througbred

[@sarahwarwick1166]

OMG HE IS SO FAST

[@patsstuffclark9522]

I ride almost everyday. This scared me

[@tinynina9650]

PLEASE READ THE WHOLE COMMENT! I AM NOT TRYING TO THROW HATE! Are the horses mouth and teeth okay? I was worried since I saw that you were holding the rains while falling and that way took the whole bridle off so i thought you might have yanked at the bit and damaged his mouth and especially teeth. I also saw at the beginning of the video that Kermit was jerking his head so I thought that you might have been pulling on the rains too much which could also damage the horses mouth. Try to use your weight to stop the horse rather than thr bit, sit back in the saddle to stop him, use slight pulling of your hands on the bit so you don't hurt your horse. This is not hate, I am just trying to help. P.S. Kermit is such a good horse for stopping when you fell.

[@guymofo1971]

PsychoNinaa all good points in normal circumstances. Firstly lets be clear, its not me riding, Angela is riding and does all of those things you mention ie using her seat to control not the reins. Also, racehorses are trained to run into pressure in the bit. Its a different riding style to a normal hacking horse. The way to stop a racehorse is to release the contact so there is no attempt to stop kermit with the reins as this has the opposite effect to what you would expect. Kermit was a very special horse with many insecurities from his racing days. He would pull on his bit quite aggressively just while standing. There are a few other vids on my channel filmed by me that show kermit ‘standing’ waiting to go. Have a look, it may answer some of your concerns

[@tinynina9650]

What happened

[@littlehollyleaf4422]

[@thequietmanpaddynevin9091]

Potentially a lot going on around that gallop to distract him passing sheds and coming up to open rails! Jeez your braver than me going that fast and obviously very capable but that type of work is better on the Heath as you’ve plenty of time to see what’s coming! Great to watch though
