I can only imagine! I guess it's something that jockeys train for. It's too bad the person filming it chose to shoot in restrictive _vertical format_ - we would've gotten the "whole picture" - seen the jockey's full dismount better, if filmed in classic, *_horizontal_* format. Vertical format - usually shot by people who know nothing about filmmaking, but who want clicks on social media - is *ruining* the viewer experience.
I've worked with horses for years: field hunters, steeplechasers, dressage, 3 day.....I'll say without batting an eye, there's nothing more dangerous than being on a panicked runaway horse. Scary as %$$%^ even for seasoned riders. Excellent decision and stellar dismount.
Flying dismount. Experienced riders know when why and how. I salute you and stand beside you, I’ve been there. One thing I did learn at a young age was that getting the wind knocked out of you with a hard landing won’t kill you but being wiped off on a stall door could.
No one who hasn't felt it will understand the difference between a galloping, racing horse and a spooked bolting horse. The difference is very different and very scary/dangerous. Kudos to the skillful, knowledgeable rider.
I agree! Too short! Looked to me at the beginning he lost his left stirrup first and couldn’t get his foot back in. Either way, video starts too late and ends too soon.!
I've had to do the same thing with my Western roping trained mare. She would not stop until I bailed off, being trained to stop and back up when the rider left the saddle(pulling the rope on the calf tight). Except I was bareback, lol. But it worked.
That is a real heart breaker. What a shame. So did he finish the race with the other riders? That is a fantastic video, loved it. Sure hope he didn't get injured on that wild dismount.😢😢😢😢😮😮😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Did the same thing when my out of control horse was totally freaked out, so I bailed but my ankle ended up get tromped on. Could have been my head and back in the days we didn’t wear helmets.
I remember this incident very well. The mare is Daddys Lil Darling, the race was The Oaks. There was a sudden squall and lightening as she was cantering up the course to the start. Never having raced in the UK before, she wasn’t used to the open Downs course and not having a pony escort, so she panicked and bolted. Olivier ( Peslier) did well to bale out. Interestingly, she is the dam of current Ballydoyle star Savethelastdance.
Props to the horseman I’ve only been in that position once as a standard bred trainer. It’s much easier to slide off the back of a jog cart doing 30 miles an hour then from the top of a horse going 40
How do you catch the horse after the rider has baled out? Isn't it very dangerous for the other horses and the jockeys in the competition if the horse runs wild?😮
@@charlottepeukert9095 the Course behind the position of the starting stalls for the Oaks ( this incident was before the start on Epsom Downs) is a ‘dead end’ ( it is not a ‘circular track’ hence having to canter the whole course to get to the start). Olivier ( Peslier, the jockey) would have known that if he couldn’t stop the horse would go for the tiny gap between the stalls and the rails where he would likely have been seriously injured. Loose horses are not uncommon on a racecourse, especially in jumps races. They usually head straight back to the stables and are caught en route.
So many comments on here of people who have never sat on a bolting horse. They are in panic flight mode and the more you try and pull them up, the more trapped and panicked they become. They will try to jump or run in to any obstacle in their path.
Yep, had my horse scare and bolt on me and run out a gateway and directly across a road ... lucky for both of us no traffic was coming at that time. Good decision by the jockey.
Once when my lease tried to bolt I jumped off, got back on the ground safely and calmed him down in a few minutes. Better safe than sorry folks. He wasn't even full 14 hands (between 13.3 and 14 hands), but we were in the forest, close to a ditch, so it could've been *bad*.
I seen this in Mullins one day and I'm not sure if the jockey fell or he jumped but wondered why jump? Horse was not stopping and safely doing laps around the gallop and i thought surely that horse will tire out? I've often had take offs n rode them out but never felt the need to jump off. Obviously you can't run the horse to death but when do you make the call to jump?
Hola soy criador...!!! Yo he visto como se para un caballo... se le abraza al cuello y se salta del caballo siempre abrazado a su cuello el animal se frena... cuando sigues colgado de su cuello el caballo se detiene... !!! Saludos desde argentina...!!!
@@stellacwalkerthe horse bolted.. you realize how dangerous it is to even attempt to stop a spooked bolting horse right- trust me. It’s a lot harder than you’d expect. When a horse bolts out of fear, that horse just keeps on going.
This jockey not only recognized the danger and dismounted to save injury to himself...but more than likely helped avoid serious injury to the horse... TRUE.
The horse didn't saddle itself up and enter a race. Racing horses is a cruel sport where horses die daily across the world. There's no sport in that only greed.
Such a pleasure reading these comments. I bailed off of a retired racer with a stiff leg that wouldn't slow going through the woods. Some jumps were ahead in a field and I didn't fancy being pasted onto an oxer. I went off in a tumble but nothing damaged. You can't stop them once they get the devil in them.
Oh come on, It's devil for the rider 😂- the horses are just scared and revert to what's in their DNA. They haven't been prey for a long time, but the mindset stayed. I'd like to see a smartypant try to stop a creature so big and powerful from running when they are fearing for their lives and running away is what they do.
I totally commend this jockey! Wow, what a dismount! I was ran off with on a Qtr horse I owned. He had 7 owners by the time I got him as a 6yo. And the last time was thru a wooded trail. I bailed when I saw the tree up ahead jutting out on the trail, that I knew would have ripped my leg off. The worse I got was a sprained wrist. Found him at the gate to the pasture. That was the last time he ran off with me, as I finally got thru to him. Ended up selling him to a young lady in her 20s who adored him...and her trainer said he was the most mannerly horse she'd ever worked with. If they only knew. LOL
I’ve done the same myself. Rolled into a ball and off the track. Ended up with a broken ankle and a diagnosis of osteoporosis so the horse actually did me a favour.
No you cannot. 500kilos of sheer power. If one wants to bolt ( I honestly couldn’t give two monkeys Fs what ANYONE says ) THEY will WIN EVERY SINGLE TIME. 1/2 Tonne v 10 stone wet through. Half ton EVERY SINGLE TIME. Even the very very best broken in horses, best riders in the world will NOT stop a Racehorse if they decide to bolt. FACT.
I had to bail off a horse in training, spooked by a motorcycle of all things. Head straight for a big thorn tree. I have to say before choosing too bail the speed & the flight of the horse was amazing. I had no control stopping or turning. I was able too free my sturrip & get off. Sprained one ankle pretty bad. The horse ran right under the tree & kept going. When I finally caught up with him he was munching grass with three other horses. What surprised me is as soon as he saw me he came walking up to me really fast. Like he was so sorry. I was hurting but I was alive. He was sorry & had thorn branches sticking out of the saddle in place I did think a stick could fit. So I know I made the right decision. I think about what it would have been like going into that tree with him & I am pretty sure traveling 40 mph into that tree would have ended my life. I tried so hard to steer him over to miss that tree but he was in a total panic, he was running like a blind fool. I respect bikers on Harley's but once in awhile, there is that one A hole, that I wished bad Karma Revenge on. Revenge is mine saidth the Lord! So, I ask God nicely as I was cussing in pain, too please get that guy! I was 26 years old when that happened & I'm 66 now & that wasn't my last get off the pony quick moment. Horses are wonderful but you always have to keep in your mind, you are dealing with a 1200 pound powerful animal, that has the mind of a toddler. It's in their DNA make up if they, Get Scared, Get Upset, Get Confused RUN!!! If they're already running Go Faster!!!
Riveting story, so well told. Thank you, Kristen, so much. And brilliant, perilous just-in-time dismount [we’re all pleased you survived!]! Your description of the your equine trainee’s post-“breeze” grass break eye contact & his immediate hoofing it over to you almost out concern and guilt, a kind of equine empathy, was really quite moving. You so aptly describe the bolting instinct as well. I am curious about this toddler business. In your experience, are thoroughbred always this way? Do they not, at varying times and periods, moments of their development, behave like adults? 🐴♥️
@@crooning4leftovers125 The horse involved in this was actually a two & half year old dapple Grey Quater Horse! He was a toddler at the time! To answer your question, In my experiences with many horses, they absolutely can grow up with a good mind & soul. So much so , they can surprise, amaze & impress you with their intelligence & heart! I had a mare who was my partner for twenty two years! I got her when I was 13 she was 7 yrs old & past away at 30 years old. In her last two years of life she was called the baby sitter because tiny little girls 2 yrs to 5 year olds were riding her. I am not just talking walk & trot. She loved those little girls. Watching her spin their pony tails with her nose, while they were brushing her. Her brown eyes would get so big with affection watching over them. She would never have hurt them & never did. She had a job, taking care of little children up & coming riders & took it so seriously! She made me so proud of her. Trainers would stop me at the stables & share their stories about her, that They witnessed her doing, while being ridden by a child for a riding lesson. How she took care of the kids & listened to them without any objection! So yes, horses can grow past being a toddlers in their thinking & be a exceptional, brave, loving, kind, talented, thoughtful, caring individual who fills your heart & soul with gratitude & appreciation, too have such a wonderful friendI I Thank God, for creating horses. God Blessed me with horses, in my life & I learned a lot of life lesson from them. Just like any relationship it takes time, communication & dedication with love to build that trust. Then it takes courage, patience & medical insurance to survive the mishaps along the way! It definitely a journey!
sos muy inteligente ..solo quiero darte las gracias.por tan buena explicacion de lo q paso..de no haber leido lo q escribistes estaria muy ancioso🙏🙏🙏🇸🇻🇸🇻
Honestly. See some of the comments on here from people who obviously do not have a fuckin CLUE!! If half a ton racehorse 😮wants to run away with someone 9 stone wet through then it will. If a horse decides to bolt and you have no more to give, believe me this lad did this perfectly. He gets his toe out the iron, the he has both legs over at the near side and safely lands on the turf. Iv saw the best jockeys in the world being run away with and bailing off. He’s not the first and certainly won’t be the LAST to do that.
It’s sad how most people in horse racing don’t care about the actual horse or anything like that, I understand you care if the horse is still able to run the race but the second it leaves the track it’s dead to you. I’m open for counter arguments.
I agree unless you've been on a horse that bolts you have no idea how strong they can be and how hard to control especially in a race pad, I've seen them run straight through fences , very scary once that flight instinct kicks in
It almost looks like the horse is heading for the railing and has plans to try and jump it and go crashing into the stands or any bystanders on the ground. Jockeys know how to ride, and sometimes that means a reasoned dismount.
Someone above said she was headed for the stalls and he would have gotten crashed. It was a smart move, otherwise he could have just rode it out if there were no obstacles He was even kind enough to tuck the reins under the syrup leathers so she wouldn't get caught up in them and I swear he petted her on the neck before he bailed
@tammypelletier3195 I once had a pinto mare take off for the stalls on me. The person I was riding bareback with threw a stone at her haunches and frightened her. She was moving so fast there was no time to get off. All I could do was sink my hands in her mane, duck my head along her neck to avoid the very low overhead door framing, and pull my legs up and in like a jockey. I felt the sides of the barn door and the support poles in the lower barn, and the sides of the door to her box stall clip the tips of my paddock boots as we went in. The mare finally came to a sudden stop once we reached the back wall. It was one heckuva ride. God must have decided it was not my day to die or something because I have no idea how I made it through that obstacle course in one piece. True story.
You are truly blessed. I had a friend in a similar situation who ended up in traction for 6 months because she could not bail in time. Horse was tall. Barn door was low. End of story. Thankfully she ended up fine, but that is definitely a good reason to bail. It's a wonder that you were able to compress yourself into such a tiny mass. Congratulations on not being hurt. You are definitely blessed
@@BrembeliaSo glad you were ok, but what on earth was that other rider thinking?! You or your horse could have been really seriously hurt! I hope they learned their lesson and never did something that stupid/dangerous ever again. My riding instructors would have been pissed and probably would have banned them from riding anywhere but in the arena under their direct supervision. Not to mention the very intense lecture about safety and respecting their fellow riders. Plus punishment chores and a written apology to you and your horse. I hope they apologized to you. SMH.
I did this on the Lambourn downs more than 50 years ago. Not quite as gracefully ! It was that or get taken straight down the main road to town. My shoulder has never fully recovered 😮
I was working for Joseph O'Brien a while back and a horse bolted on the concrete with me coming back from the gallops, after trying everything in my power to pull him up he kept quickening up so I'd no choice to abort ship, luckily hit the ground running and held onto the reins, think he only won recently in the uk since leaving Joseph's under Benoit de la sayette round a month or so ago, horse was Max Mayham absolute nut ball😂
I was working at Mark Johnstons in 2001 I started and Charlie was a kid but knew the score even as a kid. Anyway I had holidays and went to see a friend in Wales and he stayed and worked right next to EVAN WILLIAMS yard. He rode out on weekends so asked me to go in on the Saturday to ride a few lots. First lot were going up this gallop that runs alongside a road but was well hedged high and at the top of the gallop there was a gate and when you pulled up , Evan would make sure there was no traffic and we’d pull up and walk home, anyway I could feel my horse getting a bit keen, this young lad comes flying past me and the other two in front away into the distance, I think the horse stopped on merit at the top TBH but once we all reached the top and Evan opened the gate this thing he was on got onto the road and it started bolting again on the road and again away he went into the distance and at the very end of this country road you joined a main road. Evan bolted in his SUV and found him 3 miles down this main road. No cuts or bruises on horse or rider just tears and I mean proper tears. He packed his things and left that night and never went back to racing as far as I heard. He was chalk white. If they want to bolt with you then they will bolt with you. See when Dylan Browne Mcmonigle was 13, I told him he’d be champion jockey 1 day. I hope he does. You’ll know him from Joseph’s then mate??
Thanks for making my decision easy tomorrow I see he is running tomorrow in the 3.35 at ascot so I'm gonna do em whatever price but I like city streak aswell
At that point there are professional outriders who will run the horse down. The jockey isn't doing any good at that point on the horse so no benefit in him staying on and getting both himself and the horse hurt.
There are no outriders at UK racecourses. This one is Epsom if you'd like to check it out. Like many courses here it follows the lay of the land and is very undulating, up and down hills and sloping sideways in the home straight. The racecourse traces its way through The North Downs of Surrey. If you look closely near the beginning using the horse behind and the slope of the rail as markers you'll see they're hurtling downhill.
Un cheval de 600 kg qui panique et prend la fuite par instinct, devient incontrôlable même pour un excellent cavalier. Ce jockey a subtilement réagit. Il a évité un accident pour lui-même et également sa monture. Bravo
D'autant plud que les selles de course et la poimsition des Jockeys ne donne aucune stabilité. Il n'aurait rien pu faire, même en étant excellent cavalier.
Honestly I couldn't figure out why he didn't ride her out, but someone above said that she was headed for the stalls and he would have gotten crashed. Crashed. I have to say he had the wear with all to tuck the REINS under the stirred weathers so the horse wouldn't get wrecked either by tangling them in her legs or tearing up her mouth. That was quite a feat. I swear he patted her on the neck before he bailed
That makes sense now why he bailed. Otherwise he could have just ran her out till she was done. If there were no obstacles. He did an amazing thing and reached under and tucked the reins under the sterp leathers so she wouldn't trip up in them, wreck her mouth or break her legs. That was quite a feat
I say he did the right thing.....have had horses bolt with me on two occasions at the Newmarket gallops....one had his tounge over the bit, managed just get him to change direction, from crushing into the trees and shrubs, and the other he went past another string by Luca Cumani and he calmed down......scary shit... what really pissed me off was my then stablemates saying I could not ride instead of asking how I was....they did not want to ride one of them, which says what shitfaced dickheads they were. In racing you really need to work for good trainers that support their staff. My naivete made me realise this to late. To many shit trainers and breeders in this game. Saw this when working at Tattersalls sales on occasions. Loved working in racing but wish I had come into it with the knowledge I have today. This Jockey should be commended. He did a real good job. X 😊
Lovely read. Yes stable staff are too quick to condemn you. The horse has its tongue over the bit then maybe whoever had been riding it beforehand had let the trainer know it needed a cross noseband you wouldn’t have had this problem, or if some can still get it over the bit even with a x noseband a tongue tie ( not often used in exercise) would be the answer. Some stable staff are too quick to judge. Take care and hope your enjoying whatever your doing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@kristin1980uk Doesn’t bare thinking about does it Kristin?? That’s what I mean about some of the idiots on here who say Olivier ( Pellier ) should have done more rather than bail. Until THEY get on one with 500kilos of sheer power and see what it’s like to be bolted with when you have no more strength in your arms to control this animal that has more power in its FARTS than a jockey 9stone wet through then by god they will NEVER know. NEVER 👎
Don’t often see that, I reckon the jockey was concerned about steering and felt safer jumping off rather then going through a fence or something Hope jockey didn’t sustain any injuries and hope the horse was ok as well
They were both OK. The jockey got up and walked away, the filly ran to the stalls that luckily had a gap in the middle. She was caught and went on the have a successful start at stud and is the dam of a very smart racehorse.
@@FlightwithoutwingsThank you for being a very good reporter. You gave a lot of vital info, that most of us were looking for. Obviously this channel doesn't feel the need to provide any pertinent information. Just here for the clicks. Well, I will NOT be back here and, I hope all the disappointed viewers do the same. MISERABLE FAILURE!
What a very nice dismount even going at 40 mph on a run away horse!! I hope the jockey and horse were okay afterwards. That dismount was smooth but effective when you can't get the horse under control. Even dismounting like this is risky, but if you know how to fall the right way you'll be okay.
I have never seen that done before! It’s like a pilot ejecting himself. Horse riders just don’t dismount a moving horse like that!! When a horse bolts, you do everything you can to stop it… and/or you FALL off… you don’t dismount mid gallop. That’s very skilled riding
All those incidents makes me love my shire draft horse even more. Man she`s solid. 4 years, never been able to spook her more than half a second. Then she looks at me unamused. She`s a unit
I have had two horses bolt with me and it’s a very terrifying experience . The last one was a 3 yr old filly I was schooling on the ring . She bolted running off the ring at breakneck speed . It’s kinda like a runaway train and a car at 100 mph with no steering wheel . You have two choices sit tight and wait for it or bail off . I was getting ready to bail off when this particular horse hit a tree root that was hidden in the grass and we both went sprawling . Both the horse and I were fine . This was a very experienced Jockey if you notice he slipped his stirrups first and then dismounted facing forward. Well done !! I hope the hoarse was caught and there were no injuries
he must have thought she could make her way to the motorway or there were obstruction in the way Oliver persiler is a top french jockey so if he baled he saw something dangerous was about to happen and thought fxxk this I'm out of here 😂😂😂😂 perfectly right to he knows how to break a fall when he gets to pick the spot peace Dublin Ireland
You can see him see-sawing the horse to try and get her off balance to slow her down, that failed, safest option is to control how and when you hit the ground by bailing.
@@sylviategroen1583 not all racing stables treat horses badly (i was a strapper for awhile). That said, racing them as 2yo when their bones aren't fully formed is disgusting.
I had a memorable accident with a horse that was in full flight mode. I didn’t bale out. Ended up in a roadway where the horse lost footing at full speed and went down on his side with my leg pinned underneath. Due to his speed and the road slope, he slid clear across the road on my leg. That knee had to be replaced and has been a problem for years. I wish it had occurred to me to bale out.
I knew a woman who died with her spooked horse. That fear is primal. Even if they're trained, the fact that they have a rider at the moment may reinforce the instinctive panic of the prey animal.😢
It’s amazing to see jockey’s actually doing what needs to be done for the horse’s sake without trying to push for a prize. His dismount was very impressive, I hope he landed safely and that the horse calmed down without running into anything or spazzing out other horses and riders.
You spelled that wrong. The proper spelling is Shitland!🤣🤣🤣 I love them, but damn they can be asses! Mine dragged me in my knees through yard just to avoid going into the trailer. A trailer, mind you, that he had problem loading into. Had loaded into it a million times without problems. Loaded just fine a few minutes after dragging me through the yard. I swear little Smokey Joe was the cutest monster!😂❤
@@RPostVideos ohmygod that brings me memories 😭 they are the funniest and the most smart ass shitheads ever. Whenever it was snowing we would sled with him and that asshole just dragged us of the sled and ran off home where food was. I miss him so much
did he dismount cos she was bolting ... or did he dismount to save energy before getting to the start or something like that which would have disqualified them? she's only looking left abs right cos he's pulling her head to take control via steering, but once he let her open up she was racing and that would have been a waste before a race? was there a thunderbolt or something like that? personally i'd never say never bale but i am not convinced i understand this bale out unless something ahead was going to naturally slow the horse that would have been a collision had jokey stayed on?
I was riding a horse that wanted to run (we were waiting for the rest of the horses to get to the end of the huge field, those that didn't want to gallop) my horse reared and ran, I couldn't turn him, he was running forward with his head facing almost backwards as I tried to stop/turn him.....I was 9..........i learned that day that nothing stops a horse.
He did a great job doing this, but the video should show what happened next. At least some viewers know and thankfully write it in the comments. This reminds me of similar things that happened to me during the last 40 years and how fast you have to decide what to do. Sometimes it's the decision between a broken ankle or a broken back...
I was on a retired race horse that was being used for barrel racing, just walking a group of people who hired horses, down a dirt road in Manitoba, one of the people kept bugging me to race with her bc I was on a Tbred, and I kept saying no thank you. She kept pushing, and then my horse bolted. So fast that I left her in the dust, my shirt came out of my jeans, my eyes watered, and I lost a scarf. Tremendous speed. I stayed where I was, and just hauled on his head to bring it around and get him into the ditch at least. Up ahead was a highway at right angles to the dirt road, so I saw my life flash in front of my eyes. Got his head hauled around to my foot, and he finally slowed down. Jumping off wasn't an option, I had no clue how to do that. I yelled at the woman when she caught up, told her to never do that again. Not the first time I was bolted with, but it was the most dangerous.
My horse likes to bolt when he spooks. I’ve thoroughly taught him to give his head and disengage his hind end. So when he acts like a crack hamster and bolts or tries to back up and kick at another horse, I spin him so quick he doesn’t even know what happened. I feel very uncomfortable riding a horse that is not super soft in the bridle. That’s a safety must for me.
When I was about 12, I was on Molly a retires racehorse. She took off in a run toward the highway. At full speed, I jumped. Didn’t hurt me a bit…rolled down in a ditch. Too young to really care at all.
As a female trackwork rider ,if l did this ,l would have been highly criticised and probly lost many rides . He's a jockey ,one skill they absolutely need to be doing they're job is holding a horse ,even when it's bolting ,if he can't do that he shouldn't be riding in races it's dangerous bcoz if they haven't got control ,the horse in front of him can get "galloped" on ,shredding his back legs and left with permanent injury possibly never able to race again. Not only that ,l would never let go if it's possible to do so anyway. A horse running loose with reins loose etc.is in complete DANGER to itself and every one else at the course
The owners and trainer could not be happier that this thoroughbred did not get injured or the jockey more injured horse getting ready to throw rider bold move on jocks part
It was nice of them to tuck the reins under the stir up leathers so the horse wouldn't trip up in the reins and get wrecked. He must have been coming to some sort of an obstacle like the gates or something to bail and not just ride it out. If there was nothing in front of them, there was no reason to bail. It's not like he was going to fall off. Quite an amazing feat and nonetheless
He quit his stirrups to dismount. Tucking the reins under the leathers is very risky, if the horse stumbled it would be able to get its head down to counteract the fall.
All this horse is head strong, that's why most America horses has a pony to escort them to the gates, I remember about 7 years ago Karim Mccoulin had a horse can't remember the name, going to the gates started to act up with the pony, the pony guy turned him lose, the horse went around Belmont park, José Ortiz were the jockey he stayed on, on till the out rider catch up with him, who remember that, watching 👀 from Bellrose NY
Racehorses are NOT trained in even the basic groundwork, so this happens more often than you might think. They are barely desensitized to anything nor can they be ridden like a normal horse since they are only taught to go into a box and go topspeed after the box opens again (which is why they need another rider to guide them into a box on the racetrack, not even THAT their owners/trainers bother with). During mediaval times horses were mentally broken into submission (as many people, sadly, still do today with horses). Battle mounts were harder to control due to the 'aggressive' nature of their 'job' but they were not spooky as untrained racehorses or such. Battle mounts were trained to be desensitized to the chaos of battle, swords clanking onto one another, being bumped and smashed into to a degree, etc.. All sorts of things were needed for training a decent battle mount. Sadly, mostly accomplished with breaking their spirit, but they were valuable tools so they HAD to be trained to not bolt and run off. Racehorses are sadly disposable goods that only need to be able to run fast on a track. All training that is unnecessary for their job are not bothered with, even basic groundwork is not done with them (which is why Off The Track racehorses need to start at total zero).
@@charlottepeukert9095 No problem~. It's a very interesting topic I found years ago. Sometime ago I found this video, maybe you'd like to take a look at someone professional, with MUCH more knowledge than me, explain what a war horse needs to be capable of: "Warhorses: How did a medieval knight and his horse work as a team on the battlefield?" That is the video title. It's by the channel Modern History TV here on RU-vid. He has MANY videos about this topic and even shows things instead of just explaining stuff. :) He started his own war horse training here I think, tho it's based on very human and kind ways (which were likely not so common in reality): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xKi8GQSnvaU.html
a runaway horse scares me more than a bucking hourse because you dont know what a horse will run you into off a cliff into traffic or into fencing or into a ditch. sometimes you cant get through them to slow down panic is panic. I was told by other riders to ride the running away just steer but when your panicing I doubt I could keep a clear head.
Being in a different environment, then the weather element combined w adrenaline of race day makes a perfect smoothie for a horse's panic or rather flight mode. The jockey had very little time to react and did so expertly. The instinct for flight took over and the horse responded. Trying to reign in a panicked horse could have dire consequences. 😮
I've done the same, but nearly lost my left lower leg in the process. Compound tib/fib fracture, muscle + skin grafting and osteomyelitis. Hopefully he wasn't hurt.
I have had that happen a few times. I stayed on and rolled with it. For me, abandoning is not a option. work for a solution. one time I grabbed the bit with both hands.
@@bridget1780there is always four main reasons why people ride horses 1. They love the horse 2. They were forced to by family or friends 3. They do it for fun and entertainment 4. They do it for a job. Everyone there knows it’s too dangerous we all know how many people die a year. Does that stop us? Nope we’re just insane.
@@ligboltcomma824 your right. Horses are the most mystical but real animals there are.They are beautiful but dangerous. If you fall in love with them its forever. I have had spinal surgeries and cant ride anymore and it pains me (surgeries not from riding). The problem with some people they dont respect horses people now want to touch everything they think horses are like cats or dogs and they are not. Horses are far more complex. If they dont like you or have had a bad life (which unfortunately happens to ofetn) with humans. Trust and leadership is so important to them Horses are a life commitment and horsey people are a breed of there own. Its more like a marriage than some marriages and its probably a better one with the horse. Crazy loving horse people are the best. If a horse trusts you you cant be bad.
I had a big gelding of mine bolt and he was going the speed this horse is. I was going to bail, but he beat me to it and bucked at full speed. The result was that I needed six pints of blood & surgery because my left kidney and spleen were smashed. I had to be air lifted to a major hospital 2 hours away. It wasn't true for me that you can get along well with only 1 kidney. I haven't ridden since Sept. 11th, 2005 when it happened. The good thing is that I had an extra smaller spleen and that I no longer have nightmares (pun intended!)
Hope the horse was ok. I worked in the horse racing industry straight out of schoolas a starry eyed horse lover. It didn't take me long to realise it was the live of winning not the live of horses for most owners. Sad times.
Did you mean love? Not all owners and trainers feel the same way. A few bad apples have given horseracing a bad name and I think that is a shame. I am from the U.S. , but I live in Japan now and horseracing here is much closer to British racing, which is a good thing.
@@tessdurberville711 Yes Tessa i meant love, sometimes I forget to put my glasses on. I worked in the UK racing industry, it opened my eyes and broke my heart. The grooms loved their own favourites, but everyone else...I am glad you had a better experience than I. Races like the Grand National need to be stopped, its a horrendous course, but I am only one voice, though I tend to chatter peoples ears off sometimes lol. All the best to you from one horse lover to another.
I have had several horses take off on me like that before. It is a very scary serious situation because the horse going fast like this and makes a small mistake in footing, that horse can topple over you and kill you. Remember, most of these horses are over 1,000 pounds each. There is no control when these horses go into panic mode like this. I truly hope this rider did not suffer permanent injuries.
should always be an option. you don t know whats gonna be on the way after the next turn? a tree fell? jump off before the collision if you can t stop the horse in the first place it takes to always keep it in the back of your mind and ready to go. otherwise you could be sorry
@@xhogun8578 Stop talking idiotic! You clearly know nothing about horses! You don’t stop a bolted horse by trying to make it stop! That’s a no win situation! You stop him by making him go faster! that way you’re in control again and only then do you start asking him to slow down! Works every time! Taught this many years ago from a retired French Grand National Steeplechase Jockey!
You pull the horses head around to the left or right slowly and they will end up running in tight in circles until they stop. A horse has to follow his head. I've had to do it , once, with a horse I got off the track. My dad told me that growing up and it stuck with me. Bailing off is a good way to get hurt.
If you don't have enough room to circle a horse at a dead run, he'll fall and you should know not every horse will turn with one rein, that if the horse is panicked, he won't turn with one rein and will continue running straight ahead.
No, you can see the jockey take his foot out of the stirrup before doing an emergency dismount. I take it you have never been on a bolting horse before
There comes that moment for every rider where you have to decide I can do nothing here to help, time to bail out. It generally makes the situation better for both rider and horse. I have done so a few times, he executed that dismount perfectly. Outriders will have caught the horse and it probably slowed right down once the jockey was off anyway.
You know how they say you can lead a horse to water but you can't make 'em drink? Same with racing. You can pay a million bucks for a colt with a platinum pedigree, everything in the right place, sound as a bell - and if the bugger doesn't want to run, that's it. And it happens. You cannot make 'em run if they don't want to . There are a lot of very expensive, beautifully bred colts that wind up as hunter-jumpers, equestrian horses, trail horses, cow ponies, lead ponies at the track because this runrunrun thing they refused to do. The ones you see in races are the ones that want to run.
I understand that they usually want to run but that dosent change the fact that they are treated as objects that just ‘break’ when they get hurt then they are shot and killed on site because of human carelessness/unawareness. The riders are hardly the problem it’s the objectifying of these live animals. I’m still open for people to change my mind because I don’t want to write off any horse discipline (if you don’t know the meaning of discipline I’m assuming you don’t know much about horses)
@@ligboltcomma824 In 1951 as a 4yo a TB colt named "Your Host" clipped heels and fell in the San Pasqual H, breaking his right foreleg and shattering his right shoulder in 7 places. Believe it or not, "Old Sidewinder", as he was called, was saved, lived to the age of 22 and went on to become a successful sire. Many are saved after severe injuries. They are NOT "shot and killed on site". That's ridiculous. Yes, some are injured to the point they cannot be saved. But that also happens with backyard saddle horses, feral horses, cow ponies and horses that are just out in a pasture. Many well-known horses have died from injuries that happened from "paddock accidents" - they are out in a pasture on a sunny, dry day and are found with broken legs. Sh*t happens with horses. Always has, always will.
@ligboltcomma824 - your mind is not interested in being changed, otherwise you would have done some research for yourself before making such an ill-informed comment.
@@ligboltcomma824 I get the feeling you could talk to 1000 stable staff from grooms up to and including owners and they still would never convince you that they care about their horses. There’s always bad owners, just as there are always bad pet owners, bad gun owners, bad car owners, bad parents.
Any more camera angles? Ive done my fair share of emergency dismounts. I want to see the whole landing phase. I was taught to roll like a ball to reduce your impact.
That's better than the horse jumping off the jockey. That Pony ain't paying attention. The jockey lost the right reign tried for it once than did the right thing and bailed out ! That called good horse sence.
