i remember seeing video on youtube, that someone off here had found, of a racehorse pretty calmly doing a backflip..
i can't find it again.. anyone else able to??
Did you hear the woman in the background, "that's why I'm never riding that horse"... err, that's why you don't ride bareback unless you are confident you are fairly safe, which includes a hat and not being on tarmac!
Total idiot!
That guys a real idiot, really dressed for the part didn't he!?!?! Poss the type of person that would go and thump the horse for falling off too - complete jerk!!
I'd say someone else has [****] that horse up before she came along!
It certainly knew what it was doing (or what it didn't want to do)
She got it jumping a lil cross in the end tho!
I think the third video the girl rode fantastically!!!! From what I saw the horse was napping at the exits and had obviously got away with it many many times. I hope in that situation I am that brave, and that skilled.

I thought that too, didn't want to be the first to say it incase I got beaten down! I thought when it first started rearing she was quiet and calm.
First vid - horse didn't do anything really wrong - chap was just not able to ride.
Second one - ouch I have done that albeit over far less big fence.
Third - OH watched this one - said it was like watching me with Fleur - now know why he used to walk away as he got so frightened for me when she was in one of those moods.
Speaking from experience - it is not easy when a horse is like that - mine would nap terribly and throw herself around in a tantrum and all you could do was sit tight and try to ride her through it.
