Love it how the horse shrugs the remnants of the bridle away and just carries on - mum I've got this! And the rider coped pretty well too!

I presume looking at it that the bit failed?

Not sure as the photo I've seen just shows a simple hackamore

I witnessed this today, the horse just focussed on the jumps, as they passed the arena entrance the rider held up the bridle, it then took a full lap of the arena to run back to the entrance and stop. Kudos to the rider for not panicking!

Well done to both horse and rider who didn't miss a beat. Did they manage to complete the course?

Was it a snapped bit? Video can’t quite show what happened there. Amazing for the rider not to panic, but just to go with the horse. Very impressive!

That's fantastic to watch, the rider was so calm!

That happened to me last week! My bit snapped. I managed to stop and not fall off but I certainly did not finish my round at BS like this!!
