I've also seen this before, no idea about what happened to the horse though.

HarrieC - I was going to suggest that - that is no 'ordinary behavioral' problem - it is an extreme reflex action that cannot be blamed on the horse or rider.
Poor horse - and lucky rider!!! Could have been really nasty for him.

Wouldn't surprise me if he was put down, tumour or not, he's a danger to himself and others. I wouldn't want to be near him thats for sure, thats like the ultimate in extreme behavior

I have seen this video many before and it still manages to scare the life out of me.

Sorry - don't buy that. No horse would THROW itself over backwards like that without some sort of neurological reflex action - risking itself in the process - and then get up and walk away like that quite calmly. I don't think he even knew what he had done - it was either a neurological spasm, or he was in extreme pain. Did he LOOK wild and vicious?!!! No!!

Oh, I'd really really like to see someone wave a carrot stick at that one...
I'd heard as above; horse was discovered to have a brain tumour and was PTS

No horse would throw itself backwards eh!!! Sorry to disillusion you punk but I have met several.I have even owned one that was prepared to do a very passable "fosbury flop " over a showjump,if a stranger had the audacity to ask him to jump.Some horses really arent afraid to throw themselves on the ground.

He died as a 9yr old, he last ran as a 6 yr old under rules, so this gives me the reason to belive he had been pointing.

We had this on here before and the horse was put down, I think it was a brain tumour. I think it was Vicjp who knew about it.

That isn't strictly true. My horse has epilepsy and can be completely normal within minutes of a seizure ending. I've been riding her, even taking her to shows within an hour. And yes, I do know EXACTLY what I'm doing with her.
A horse with a brain tumour can just flip, exactly like the one in the video showed. Often throwing the head up can trigger the behaviour. It would be interesting to know how long this horse had been doing this before it was put down.
