[@ameliarufus1056]

I know he didn't but if you don't see him wobble before it so looks like he's just had enough and popped off 😂

[@meeramunilal6734]

He should have been "put down"

[@darrenkirsch4870]

Fellow comment leavers?

[@talleybarnes9195]

Here!

[@ToTheKneeProductions]

Heyo 👋

[@davidgraham2673]

Here's a comment; It's a good thing he only weighs about 115 lbs. At 200 lbs, that would likely be a broken neck, back, or something that you don't want broken.

[@KaptinScuzgob]

his horse, however, had to be remotely detonated

[@michaelgrace1298]

He cleared it better than the horse 🐴

[@johntiswell7599]

Good execution .. ima give that an 8 !

[@wakaphwap]

front flip for style

[@matthewrandell5055]

if that's a Jack Pattillo reference it's wild that F**kface brought me to this video 7 years later

[@ProsandCons26]

F face brought me here 😂

[@ajtronic]

Wow that could have ended horribly.

[@scottmetcalf6994]

Flipping hell!!!!

[@everydayebony]

I know nothing about horse races so does anyone know why he took his leg off at 0:25 did he know the horse was going to change direction or was it a balance thing?

[@cormacbyrne1832]

Purely balance horse went one way he went the other and when ur stirrups are so short most of the time there’s nothing u can do

[@SgtTibbs31]

Money

[@alistairelias536]

Amateur rider in his 5th professional race?!?

[@seanscanlon9067]

Amateurs can ride in pro races but here I assume she meant on a professional card and racecourse.

[@itsmyaccount1153]

Rubber jockey

[@georgeprout5316]

Funniest thing ever!!!

[@kingsleyc5677]

Holy shit

[@dagzboss5804]

Was they about to put him Down? I see them green screens

[@bellaequestrian3109]

Omg u absolute idiot no! The screens were there to block the view of the jockey

[@svenazzopardi5650]

oh my God!!!!!!!!!!

[@robcoleman2916]

That jockey reminds me of nordberg

[@jazym4222]

U GOT KNOCKED THEE FUCK OUTTTTT!!!!🙉

[@tarporley2947]

It wasn't a professional race!!!!

[@seanscanlon9067]

Presumably she meant a Hunter Chase on a professional card and racecourse, as opposed to a completely amateur point-to-point, where he might have had several rides not under rules.

[@pastyourbedtime1]

Gymnastic practise😂

[@emilyshmelimy]

why did he try to get off the horse?

[@Apassion4horses]

emilyshmelimy he didn’t the horse swerved a bit, he lost his balance, fell, and in mid air hit the jump and that happened

[@jamiemidge4983]

Georgia Quinn exactly, and it would’ve been much worse if he’d managed to keep his balance.

[@rommelilinon1110]

O mi gosh she is fall

[@chriskent1159]

I had 20 on that at about 100/1 it was a fix paid to go down

[@jeskoabsolut7845]

he did that on purpose

[@Apassion4horses]

Shannon Blanks why on earth would anyone do that on purpose?

[@seanscanlon9067]

I'm guessing (and hoping) that was meant jokingly.

[@TheDarrenguyuk]

he jumped off

[@Kazuko-rq4qd]

Looks like that jockey was auditioning for the circus instead of the racetrack! 🎪😂
