Equestrian Thrills "N" Spills 

I truly must applaud all of the jockeys that put their horses first. Even if the rider took a worse fall than the horse, they still stood and made sure the horse is safe. I'm glad to know people like that are more common than I thought. Cheers!

I love the grey who goes on and finishes the combination by himself after he's dropped his rider. ;-)

2:10 That is true horsemanship, a lot of people think all the professional horse back riders that compete at this level are only in it for winning and money, though that may be true in some cases, most do truly love their horses and put the horse first. :D

I really love what the rider at 2:20 did. He thought of the horse and jumped RIGHT off, and helped his horse get unstuck. Then he gave his horse a big pat. Very well made video BTW.

4:19 Ian Miller's face is priceless haha and 4:55 - 5:50 was so close!! That spruce grob is just the kiss of death in the derby sometimes.

I like how the rider at 2:11 was quick at jumping off to help his horse and then comforted him, decent of him not just leaving the horse to try and free himself.

Fantastic music, great videos and remarkable horses. I have watched this video for about ten million times and i have to tell you, that I still love it :-)

The venting rider that immediately jumps off to calm his horse down should be an example for all riders :) I really love to see that some GP riders really care about there horses, even if they want to win.

i respect that man for getting off and being eliminated to help his horse more people should be like this the world would be a better place !xx

I love the show jumping part where the horses slide down the hill on their butts! I could see my horse doing that if we ever went down a hill that big!

the rider at 2:06 is what you call a true rider :) he doesnt just put his mind to the prize, but he cares bout his horse!! i love that rider :) he should have been given a prize for doing that :D

this is my favorite thrills and spills video on you tube so far

some of that was Crazy! that bank in the showjumping was leathal!!! glad none of the horses were hurt.

That horse that continued through the triple rider less is amazing! thats so rare!

I agree! That should be the obvious thing to do, but not everyone would do it. It made me VERY happy to see that!

my definite favorite is at 5:50 when the gray loses it's rider, than finishes the triple flawlessly without them.

5:54-5:55 is SO FUNNY! The grey just keeps going even without the rider! It obviously likes jumping!

This is one of hte best videos I have seen on RU-vid so far! Thanks for posting!

Can i just add... that this video is 100% proof that even the best riders fall... so all the people who leave rude comments about people who post videos of them falling... watch this and remember... that all riders fall... but the real riders are the ones who get back on...

at 2:04 i liked how the guy didn't care bout the competition just the horse

@MagicDust112 It was the CN International, the rider was Casey Harrison and Kurr, if you look closley you can see the horses left front she come off right before they take off, and she is ok and so was the horse, the shoe falling of caused loss of traction and therfore he couldn't get his feet up, hope that that helps

i always watch this video i think its so cool i hope none of those horses have to be put down or anything bad

@TheLaallee The rider at 5:30 is a femal, named Lynda Sotherland she did survive and so did the horse, She went on to compete at the 1996 Olympics and is now the president of Spruce Meadows, in Canada, where she fell off

i love 5:59 both horse and rider were like okay were ok! lets go!

Lol at 3:26 the showjumping horse is like Horse:"Ok ready Johnny Watch this!" "1 2 3 take off stretch the legs land weird summer salt get up and leave him be" Johnny:"No Wait for me!" Luckily no horse got hurt !

Wow. Some of these clips are brutal. Glad I've never had a fall like that. haha. This vid is gorgeously put together. Bravo.

I meant 7:17... Absolutely breathtaking!

cant stop watching it. It is so amazing!! lol

5:51 is so cute. what a trooper

I love when that horse finishes the triple with out his rider!11

Oh, my. The horse at 7:19 is amazing!

Autch! Somethimes it's a miracle that those horses don't break a leg, their neck or back...

This is really good! When I was watching the xc, I was just cringing but glad that you know. I'm still on like entry level eventing! Loved the editing on the sj though! The Derby Bank must be soooo hard....especially with jumps like 2 strides from the bottom! Great vid =D

it's amazing what they go through and they just get up and trot off, we'd be rolling on the floor

none of these horses were seriously injured... all of the horses walked away from the falls. i have seen the whole clips and they all got up, horses are hardy animals and these are top eventing and showjumping horses, their riders really care about them. all these events have great veterinary care for them. equestrian sports are just as good as any other sport... people make mistakes and fall sometimes to.

If you lean forward while you're jumping DOWN you'll most likely fall off. ;) Cross country is a different type of jumping, it's nothing like show jumping. And if you look, they do jumping position when they take off, but they have to sit back and get ready for the landing.

4:43, SCARED THE CRAP OUTTA ME!

usually most horses take the hill slow and steady and most don't get hurt, but there are a fair few that fall there.

OMG I love the horse at 5.52 he just all I got this now I have no rider :D made my day. Don't get me wrong I have taken my share of falls off my horse and cleared a few jumps without my horse. It was just funny how much easyer the horse cleared the jump with out the rider.

Glad he did get off o.O I was worried the horse's leg would be broken, but he seemed okay

@equistera When these clips were created, no - you just get 80 penalty points, so you're out of the running placings-wise - which is why I love how that rider put his horse first. Now, though, you do get eliminated (it's officially falling) and you wouldn't be allowed to finish the course.

Hm. So, despite the fact that the animals absolutely love jumping(they could absolutely NOT succeed at that level if they didn't, it's near impossible) hence the horse that continued jumping w/o the rider, the fact that their joints/tendons/ligaments are heavily supported by supplements-showjumping has fences which fall down preventing serious injury and rotatioinal falls(which cause the deaths) and eventing has become EASIER and SAFER over the years, competitons require soundness checks.

wow it was AWESOME!!!!!!! absolutely loved it!! some of those showjumping courses looked like they were designed to not get a clear round lol

love this video! one of my favourites! x

The black horse and da pinto have got fail swag

haha i love falling off! :) only when im okay tho :P and at 2:18 that was precious! the man jumped off and helped his horse! amazing!! awesome vid! really liked it!

Oh god. The jump at 2.08 is awfu. Poor beast got his leg caught.

@esox19 Es fängt da an, wo man einem Tier Schmerzen oder Leiden zufügt. Bei unserem Beispiel Pferd: Gertenschläge, Hals herunterbinden, das Barren bei Springpferden oder Pfeffersalbe auf die Hufe, Bewegungsmangel, nicht artgerechte Ernährung, die Koliken auslöst, Kandarren und andere Methoden, dem Pferd im Maul Schmerzen zuzufügen, Sporen, das Reißen an den Zügeln, tagelanges Stehen in kleinen Boxen, brutales Einreiten etc.

Was good to see the guy at 2.05 quickly dismount to help his horse and give it a pat, i know of many that wouldnt. Awesome vid, got 5 star's and a fave from me. Helped abit that your an aussie like me too lol. Wicked vid

wow those r some pretty intense falls

It hurts...a lot. Last time I fell, I thought I had a concussion, my head was in so much pain(I was wearing a helmet, obviously). And my back, geez, I had to get it messaged twice a week. I ride saddle seat, so it's not as tough as jumping, but certain exercises are tough to get the hang of.

wow thats awsum! never seen a horsee get its foot stuck like that horsre did

either some sort of grease/oil or foam. most likely it's grease. Eventers use it so that the horses are less likely to get caught up on a jump.. :)

Love this music !!! :P this is a gd video xxx hope none of the horses & people gd hurt x

@XoxCrimsonLovexoX I agree! I broke a finger badly because I held on to the reins after going flying on a refusal. The finger still isn't quite straight, today. I would think if you have a running martingale, a loose horse would be less liable to trip over the reins?

@EscyKane: all the horses walked (or ran) away from the falls... no legs were broken :)

Yea they count it like a fall and the new regulation states that you are eliminated after you or your horse falls where as you used to be able to fall off and get back on and keep going with an acquirement of penalty points.

Cross country is exactly the same as Show jumping except the jumps are made from logs and other natural items and don't fall when hit. Also, the riders technique is exactly the same. if a rider leans back on a flat surface jump, they r getting behind the horse's movement and thus pulling on the horses mouth. To jump properly you must lean forward unless it is down hill.

Wonderful video

I fell off 9 weeks ago at a show jumping competition and ended up seriously breaking my ankle (open wound!). Cast came off 2 weeks ago, and I still can't walk. Do I want to ride again? Damn sure I do! :D

You need to make more awesome vids like this. :)

all the songs are from operator please love them

awesome job~~ sometimes i feel bad for the horses in some of these!!! but really good job...were do you get your footage?

im an eventer and even i think it is crazy and stupid to make horses go down that huge hill. if i ever had to do that i would walk down it. thats asking for a fall or a torn legament. anyways... great video! prob the best thrills and spills video i have seen =]

OMG I hope the horses didn't get hurt! Do you know about that? Some clips look like the horse had it's legs broken! The horse that finished the combination without his rider is really cool :D

Great video! :3 Some of those falls were spectacular! XD May I use a few of these clips from the video for a video I'm making? I'll credit you in the description. ;)

Best vid ever.

You're never a true rider until you've fallen off. That's what my trainer ALWAYS tells me when I have an accident.

amazing horses..

This video somewhat emphasises the difference between a showjumper and eventer's seat! Fair play, some of the sj falls were totally justified but there were a fair few bails that an eventer would have sat to, not to mention the difference in jumping position style security and subtlety!!! :-D

i have one thing to say... ouch!

would you mind if i can use some of your clips and then send it to you and give you credit

WOW!! Oliver Townend's fall at 3:15!!!!

is there a name for that big grass hill thing they had to go down in showjumping

the songs on this video or when gravity comes into effect for equestrians??????

@ryckangeln - Teil 2 Artgerecht - ist je nach Tierart verschieden, aber ganz sicher keine reine Stallhaltung oder Anbindehaltung, Enthornung, Kastration ohne Betäubung, Spaltenboden etc. pp. Würden alle Nutztiere artgerecht gehalten, dann hätten wir schon sehr viel erreicht.

I love your videos! :)

Im just amazed that people see horses hurting themselves as entertainment?!

In CrossCountry they put grease on their legs to let them slide over jumps if they get stuck =]

wow there are some nasty falls in there!! it was kinda funny when the horses slid down that hill on there bums!! :D

at 2:20, is the white on the bottom part of the horse sweat, or color?

man talk about making me cringe...awesome video =) great job

awesome!!!!! poor horses though.....

YOU MAKE AMAZING VIDEOS!!!!!

This clips are amazing! May I use them?

Operator Please - leave it alone

I think its a brilliant video!!!!!

I can't ride worth a damn. I want to sympathize for every horse and rider that has had a fatal injury or severe injury.

wat program do u use to edit ur videos?

Excellent video!!! =D Song fits well!

please can i copy a part of these fantastic video??

stupidblonde428a owns when gravity comes into effect and i own this one

@MagicDust112 umm im not sure what even but i know its at spruce meadows in canada...

may I have permission to use these videos?

How big were those puissance jumps they were HUGE!

The smart-ass comments are killing me..... :D The vid is brilliantly but together btw, grats :)

yes people have made it. The trick is you have to walk down the hill. Many riders make the mistake of trying to jump down it or gallop down it.

Really good video!! Music fits good. =)

i love the horse at 5:53! what a little trooper. Do you know how it is and what event?

The guy att 2:08 was reall quick of they horse when it stucked, I wouldn`t be so quick in my thoughts!
