2:20 it looked like that horse really hurt his front left leg, after the fall he stood there and they stopped the video right as he was going to pull his leg up to take pressure off of it :/
I see what you're saying, but I think that's just the horse being a bit shaken up and uncertain what to do in the middle of an obstacle without his rider. Also, Oliver said his horse, Ashdale Cruise Master , was fine afterwards, and he continued to compete , taking 5th place at LUHMUHLEN ****** just 2 months later. A horse really couldn't do that with an injury. Unfortunately, Ashdale Cruise Master's career was short lived, and he was put down a year later because of a degenerative neurological problem www.horseandhound.co.uk/eventing/oliver-townends-ashdale-cruise-master-is-put-down-310234 I suppose you could imagine that the odd step was an early symptom of a neurological problem, or even that the fall triggered something, but I think either of those would be rather far-fetched.
@kaggs100 Go right ahead. It just contains snippets from an on-air broadcast promoting safety-awareness in eventing, so getting that out to people who haven't seen it sounds like a good idea. I would prefer it not be used to sensationalize Oliver's accident without the air vest story, but I can't really prevent that.
And yet he took 5th place at LUHMUHLEN ****** on the same horse just two months later: www.britisheventing.com/results/horse/a1U58000000nAOREA2 Not just understatement, but also a rather stiff upper lip!
I really hope that they do make the jump safe for the horses and Riders because I heard about a horse and his rider Derek coming out of jump and the horse collapsed and died at the course and the girl died at the hospital
What research is under way to provide similar protection for the horse is such extreme sports? I suspect none, as at the end of the day the horse is expandable and there are plenty more to be had and trained up to fulfil the rider's egotistical needs of thrill seeking at the horse's expense.
Please could i Use a part of this video

i- dude the human nearly died but a horse with a broken leg is a bigger priority?

Typical British understatement. A few cracks were... broken collarbone, broken shoulder bones, fractured sternum and four broken ribs.
