HOYS today - shocked at 'professional's' behaviour

*sprinkles* said:
Well I apologise and I guess you know best seeing it close up and all. I'm certainly now convinced that an experienced professional would behave this way in front of a huge crowd for pretty much zero reason, not to mention that he would have the strength to pull a horse right over backward ...

Strength is not needed on a lightweight, sensitive horse wearing an American gag bit, especially not when you are in a temper.
 
strength is not needed to pull a horse over backwards. My lad was 15hh, I'm 5ft3 and weigh very little, he was in a snaffle bridle and I was not attempting to do anything other than sit tight and wait for him to come down, unfortunatly my shift in weight (significantly less than BM's weight) pulled him over.
Rearing horses are extremely unstable, a shift in you weight, a slight shift of thier neck etc will pull them over. Its one reason why known rearers should never go sidesaddle as your weight being where it is will pull them almost every time.

Horse reacted to the pain in its mouth from an americal gag (with long shanks) by going backwards, when backwards was blocked by a forcefull leg aid the horse went up, because BM was hauling on the reins already the horse shifted ts neck backwards to avoid more pain, the sift in its neck shifted its weight and the weight of BM and over they went!
