... I would love to know what the text is at the end of this video..

Perhaps something along the lines of...

"and you thought your jumping position was bad"

is this the awful bloke jumping the grey (can't watch it at work)? It was posted at the beginning of the week. I think someone said it was 'horse had a sore back for a day or so but is ok now'.

I hope the bloke's nuts fall off......
 
A free Google translation gives this:
'We guarantee that the animal one ficous barely with a ligera pain of back, and that the next day was in perfect condicoes for come back it jump'

Ie, the horse wasn't hurt, had a good back and was in good enough condition to jump again the next day.

The horse had the patience of a saint to put up with that tho! The weird thing is he did a couple of the jumps alright and wasn't a bad rider (the incident after the refusal aside) so it must have been done on purpose? Very strange!
 
This is SO funny - anyone who has no faith in their own jumping position should watch this!
At the end it says something along the lines of We guarantee that the horse didn't suffer back pain and he was fine to jump again the next day...
 
Report it on what basis?!! Gosh, the poor horses back. I couldn't watch it all the way through I felt so bad for the poor bugger

I have not seen that before but ino I think its staged. The rider gives no indication of being that bad on the flat and those jumps don't look so big as to be thrown out the saddle like that. In one shot you can see him throw his lower legs back.

Nahh something not right there, probably done for some how not to ride video or money from some ' clip' show.
 
I've read on another forum from someone who used to work with circus liberty horses that this is an old staged act. This horse never objects too much or loses balance, the rider's legs are thrown clear and the horse doesn't get jabbed in the mouth. Taught along the same lines as circus acrobats apparently 'plucked' from the audience and western stunt riders getting dragged by the horses. You still need a patient, competent horse to put up with the stunts though.

ETA, I've read the polo player swap thing too, this was probably the ruse they used to stage it.
 
The text says,
"We guarantee that the animal was only left with a slight backache, and that, on the following day, he was in a perfect condition to return to jumping

I do agree with those who think it's done on purpose! No way he could have stayed on otherwise, or got the stirrups back so quickly etc.
