man v horse 2012

400 runners,50 horses racing over 22 miles at LLanwrtyd Wells in Wales. Runners have a 15 minute head start then the horses start in pursuit. The route is tortuous, hills, streams, bogs and forestry tracks. At the halfway point, all the horses are vetted and held until their heart rate is below 64bpm. The race can be won and lost at this point. With prize money of 1000 guineas it attracts top runners and riders. This year the horse was victorious. This clip shows the race to the halfway vet check, battery ran out for the latter stages! I dont own the music on this video and will remove it on the owners request.

Reading through the comments you can tell who is an experienced rider, who has limited riding knowledge & who has never got on a horse and ridden properly before

[@lovemore4ever]

so true

[@BrooklynLionvalley]

Danielle Dorey very true

[@Darin-USMCB--]

Which are you? I can't tell.

[@Duchy76]

Daniella D yep that is definitely true

[@minjarra_eqtraining8546]

[@joannab7299]

On those open fields I'd gallop passed the runners and just be laughing like crazy honestly XD

[@sodawolfy]

Me and you both.

[@bella_rono]

Same 😄

[@joannab7299]

H Hayek -Is that aot I see? :o XD-

[@ellainacase427]

same

[@randomfootageguy5333]

Nikki The Fox yes but then if you were actually running you'd be pushing an 8:00 mile.

[@taliaryner9180]

did anyone else gasp when the horse behind them fell in the mud pit 😯

[@claudiaprovince2450]

yes my horse did that once and it was so scary he was fine&though

[@ilanapaccar6170]

yes I thought he was sinking

[@laylahadi6391]

Yes I did I thought that horse was sinking in the mud

[@listenup9940]

+Misty Thunder Stables Do you know what fracture means?? It means broken bone. Not the same as lame at all. Lame is just the horse term for limping. Not fracture.

[@user-ku5kg]

Tali Ryner lol as soon as i read ur comment that happened 😂

[@furtfurt]

Beautiful country, and very interesting race concept. Thanks for sharing.

[@giareed7550]

may just be a wrong opinion, but i don't think it was a good idea to havr that spooked horses back legs aiming ay the crowd at the beginning of the video

[@daniellad7584]

+Gia Reed I know why you are saying that. But, as a rider myself, you know you need to turn your horse so they can't see the thing scaring them whilst going past it.. therefore calming them down. If you turn to face the thing scaring them, it can get much worse. Tbh, people know horses back legs are strong and dangerous. They should have all been further away/moved away when the horse was near, just to be on the safe side.

[@emmagorman2349]

Looks like so much fun! Not trying to be a spoil sport or offensive but some riders didn't have a clue. Oh well all a bit of fun and no horse got hurt

[@Hannah-gm7sj]

Horses Forever,no all riders there were experianced

[@kayleigh807]

They're experienced riders, but some are not experienced with deep mud. The one rider who went through the mud had no clue how deep the mud can go.

[@geni2906]

Then they were awful riders!!!

[@aleghastzedd4315]

@@kayleigh807 If they weren't sure, they should not have risked their horses legs going through it. Should have went around.

[@bubbebubbe1]

I've read most these comments and there about how far either the horse or runner's went. I'm sorry I would get pissed off if I'm trying to do a run then a horse just gallops past. I'm a long time horse rider and even I there was one person on the path I wouldn't go faster then a walk past them just in case something happens and it's just polite. they usually stop and let me passed and say hello. Oh well looked like a brilliant ride though nice horse

[@bubbebubbe1]

yeah I know it's the point but I think if you get to a runner you should slow down as my horse would probably of kicked one of them.

At some parts she was cantering/loping!

[@martinbuck3086]

Thanks.........It was shot uesing a Gopro 2. I only had a 8GB sd card so shot it in 720 resolution so i could fit more on the card,but the quality still came out ok. Great camera i use it for loads of different stuff :)

This is like endurance!

[@smitbar11]

Better event when mountain bikes participated, pretty sure Tim Gould won it once on his mountain bike, incredible athlete

[@horsegirl07]

That looks so fun!!

[@jessss3380]

Why are they cantering on the road??

[@FreefallerXX]

Bayroanbopp _ a little cantering on roads won't hurt, but a lot will. We can't make any judgements as to how long she did that though.

[@holliespellman6676]

This didn't seem safe between the laneways and the people running next to you someone could have easily gotten hurt....

[@simonaceperova5961]

Skvělé video.😁😁😁😁😁😁😁☺☺☺☺ povedené.

[@martinbuck3086]

its 22miles,and yes a runner has won on a couple of occasions,its very hilly and will take you roughly the same time as a flat marthon,so if you can do a 2h 15 min marthon you may have a slim chance of winning !!!!!!!

I thought the country looked familiar

[@freya-gq1wq]

Please don't canter on roads(at the beginning), it can really hurt the horses legs and is painful to watch.

[@emilykelly8305]

There are special shoes for it and all the ones I saw had shoes on.

[@rachelwestaby2693]

my horse would love doing that running

[@delaney8728]

Rachel Westaby horses don't run.... you obviously don't ride

[@baskervillebee6097]

YIKES! Would rather do that horseback rather than afoot.

[@d3lta117]

Cool!

[@rambo_rides8068]

that looks soooo fun

[@gwendolinedrewauckram3178]

by the way I have ridden horses been Round them and ridden them I am sure they have the muscles for being ridden , it is again, not criticism, just concern

[@ellacooney6893]

id b like ' ha buy a horse numpty '

[@TagalogFan2024HD]

Darude Sandstorm

[@metalkingtohorses]

id rather be on horse for sure

[@ajlisknillat]

wouldn't it be tactic to go out quite hard and then chill before the vet part and then just go again.. i mean, coming in hot isnt too smart :p

[@wrenmatheson8640]

The Appaloosa at the start had too big of a rider

[@Angelaius]

okey it was maybe a competition , but the environment not the best. cantering on rocky paths are as crazy as canterin nex to the runners.

[@arsene7789]

I want to do that...

[@studiojangmi]

Galloping in the 90's

[@Astrid789456123]

unglaublich

[@equineznation2679]

I want to do this!! only thing is I cringed a bit at them trotting/piping on rocks. (their horses were most likely shod and thats ok. I was just thinking about mine with their bare hooves)

[@equineznation2679]

loping not piping lol

[@gwendolinedrewauckram3178]

sorry corrective text and typing to fast

[@alyyj1925]

If i registered, I would hire a trail riding horse and ride on a horse.(I can't ride) Fuck running when horses are available

[@pendelwitch4908]

Nice video however just 1 comment horses arnt robots

[@morganssmashingpearls3329]

And the award for pointing out the obvious goes to....

[@instantramen7277]

Wowah so pretty

[@Punish1er]

I love to do that

[@cdjmk1000]

unfair competition

[@fkioh]

you shouldnt canter oor gallop on pavement/road its bad for horses

[@davescopes249]

Man vs horse. I'm sure there are more than just one horse. And definitely some women their. Lol

[@emilycapon]

only in Wales lmao

[@gwendolinedrewauckram3178]

why does the horse have to run all the way and he has to carry you , maybe horse owners should consider the weight horses have to carry and the hard work they have to do ,how tired their backs will get and top of that you make the horse run all the way ,please consider horses can complain and please don't say "they are fine" please consider if you had to carry a saddle and a 12 to 14 stone man or woman on top of that for a few hours wouldn't you need a rest I have had my say please don't respond amber

[@miaschumann8749]

+gwendolinedrew Auckram read the description. they did get a rest

[@MaritsView]

+gwendolinedrew Auckram You can see there's breaks in this video... of course they let the horses rest.. and of course they let the people rest too Secondly.. l hope you realize that humans are also one of the farthest walkers.

[@XxMadz007]

+gwendolinedrew Auckram Yeah um also... if you consider the weight a human and rider is that a horse has to carry, it SHOULD be around 10-20%. Most school kid's backpacks weigh much more than 20% of their bodyweight... think of how many children are running after their school bus with those bags. Is there no consideration for them?

[@daniellad7584]

+gwendolinedrew Auckram Horses are strong and can carry riders who's weight are suited to theirs. It helps them build muscle too, similar to doing weights in the gym. Also, I'm guessing you have never ridden a pony/horse? I don't mean sit on one for a little walk round as a young child, I mean correctly ridden a horse, many times, and are an experienced rider. If you were, youd know that it is a lot of hard work for the rider too: www.bing.com/images/search?q=what+muscles+do+horse+riders+use&view=detailv2&&id=5A466CA801C2F99C2DEB933CD6AF019995563E3D&selectedIndex=0&ccid=Z3ili%2fJF&simid=608041922556595301&thid=OIP.M6778a58bf24516737d3cd8e089d9a645o0&ajaxhist=0 It is a work out alone just trotting for ten minutes. You should give it a go, its much harder than it looks. Just keeping balance alone is hard work! But a lot of fun - worth all of it.

[@bryn8809]

Do you even know anything about horses?

[@lovelove-qc3wm]

she DIDENT even give him a rest

[@KigerHeartAO]

The video is cut alot, they could have. And you know, horses can run for miles.

[@lovemore4ever]

horses run for hours on their own think before you speak and these endurance horse are very well accustomed to this and to to win they must be able to run another race all cautions are taken to make sure these horses are treated well

[@frejaskelton7147]

love love rad the description. Every horse has to rest at the halfway point until there heartbeat is below a certain point. So, yes, she did give it a rest. Idiot

[@depressiespaghetti9979]

First, *didnt* Second, read the description of the video before you try to rant...

[@shanel_loves_her_ponies7510]

that poor horse when it got stuck in the mud behide why did she even go in the mud when she could just go past it poor horse 😖😢😥

[@LittleCbHawk]

+Shanel_loves _her_ponies Honestly a lot of riders aren't experienced with bogs I know in my local area we don't have them so to them this would just look like a little bit of mud and they would have NO clue of the depth these spots can get to. Definitely a lesson in learning the environment you are riding in and a great experience (so long as no one was hurt) for both rider and horse. Really kind of proud of the horse for not panicking.

[@michaellewis242]

Horses are built for that kind of stuff it'll be fine don't be worried

[@alvabraverider4964]

The horse is fine no reason to cry about to see it got back up? The rider is the problem

[@multifandomedits1274]

The guy at 0.23 doesn’t know how to sit a canter

ive also always wanted to do cross country with my horse!

[@minkmoss406]

If you want to try the sport in this video it is called endurance. There are rides from 16k (occasionally there are a few 10k rides held) all the way to 160k.

[@minkmoss406]

Its a great sport and really fun. Very welcoming environment as well

[@equestrianl6312]

Is this the Wales/or/and Scotland by any chance will you know I mean marks/or/.

[@minkmoss406]

Equestrian L it is in Wales.

[@shianneparsons7924]

Some people need to read the caption before commenting, these horses are almost all kept in the top shape you can get them in, they aren't running them the whole time, and when you are seeing them running on pavement, they have protective shoe like things on (idk what they're called we don't use them) to help and as you notice they aren't running them as hard as they can on the pavement, or at any time during this video, it was actually mostly trotting and reading he caption it clearly says that they were vet check during the middle, that means if something was wrong, they wouldn't continue, so like it's not like they would have been forced to run if the horse broke something or got hurt, I am sure there have been times someone or something has gotten hurt but 1. sometime someone will turn up, 2. you really shouldn't be too far away from someone, 3. ik cross country is MUCH different than this but they still run out in the woods and such so like they are able to be hurt too, and 4. if you have a problem or concern dealing with yourself as a runner or rider, I am sure the vet could help you and I'm pretty sure they would have at least a nurse or something of that sort there, there is no way, with that many people, that they wouldn't.

[@d10323]

I thought I was going to watch a man arguing with a horse rider lolz. Looks like a great day out.

[@JustASleepySloth]

clearly not well informed riders as a sensible person wouldn't canter on the roads or over rocky ground, unless you want a lame horse

[@lucyt9961]

Why were they cantering on the road??? Thats really bad for your horses feet honestly.
