Bucking bronco horse!

- How about this for horsemanship? Jockey Tom Greatrex readies himself for the ride aboard Blue Haze in a bumper race at Worcester in May 2016, and then this happens...
Ready to leave the parade ring and about to head out on course, Blue Haze decides to go all bucking bronco - and make the unsuspecting rider have to earn his fee! Despite the odds, conditional jockey Tom Greatrex rides the storm and manages to stay in the plate - and even dismount and head back to the stables with the horse, who was declared a non-runner and didn't take part in the race. Fair play, Tom!

My guess is most people won't be able to truly appreciate what a fantastic piece of riding this was! My hat is off to this jockey!
he was pulling on the reins/relyng on the reins too much, it is alg to pull on the reins as thts how to stop them but the way he has done it is pulling too hard and too far
My guess is that most people won’t be able to realise how abusive racing is!
Huge!!
i agree, no one can fight the strength of a horse, pulling on the bridle of a bucking horse can be fatal. got to let go and let horse ..
@@soniyasinha3496He was pulling the bridle to get the horses head up, because when a horses head is up they can't buck properly but if it's down they will
I’m just going to say this but if u watch the full video which is about 2 mins long, there was a loud boom/bang and that is what caused the horse to freak out. This was no one’s fault what to ever, wasn’t the horses, the handler, or the jockey. The jockey only did what he that he could do in that split second which was to pull back on the horse. I do agree that he could have pulled the horse in a circle, but sometimes us as humans, we only do one thing, and with the jockey he was thinking he had to get the horse to stop no matter what, yes he could have pulled the horse in a circle instead of pulling head on it’s mouth, but Yes it was “somewhat Horsemanship” but the many thing is that no one was hurt and that the horse was ok. Sometimes you have to do thing in order to keep yourself and other from get hurt and that includes the horse horse as well. It would have been horrible if the rider had gotten bucked off and badly hurt, and now you have a lose horse on the track with a lead road on, that if he stepped on it, it could cause him to trip and fall and maybe even break his leg. I think the jockey was looking at the WHOLE picture, for his safety and the horses
With the owners and trainers in the paddock it was much safer to take the horse out on to the course. There have been far too many examples where misbehaving horses having broken the paddock rails and injured the public.
There was not a boom
You cant ride a circle with horse broncing in a straight line The long reins and steady pull were exactly the right thing to do. Keeping that head UP at any cost with a steady pull on long rein was just right. Easy to be an armchair critic. Have you ever even been on a racing thoroughbred?? The power and agility and fitness level are way beyond any lesson pony or backyard horse.
@@lori5455 True I have been on a couple of very steady calm ex race horses long long time ago ..that would never do anything like this. But i have been on a couple of horses than would be cheeky ...i could sit out a couple of bucks without feeling it in my seat but nothing like this ...but this is on another level of horsemanship....its another level of human THIS GUY HAS NO STIRRUPS PEOPLE!
The Horse was bucking rearing and PLUNGING/DIVING!Horse wanted to rear and buck and DIVE/PLUNGE. A young horse had me off once when he plunged with his back arched UP strangely to avoid cantering round a corner. I BRUISED MY TAILBONE FROM THAT! PLUNGING IS LETHAL IMO...I hate plunging i would rather a horse buck than plunge any day! I had NEVER felt ANYTHING like that back arched up. Everything in my seat was gone! The horse that did it was a young Clydesdale called Noddy ...It took me AGES to get enough courage to ride him again. It feels like you are riding a cat on springs on a surf board.
The commentator said it best “what a brilliant piece of horsemanship!”

No horsemanship in the racing industry lol

Keep the Horses head up and Lean slightly back as this rider / jockey does - Experience Teaches.
When keeping the horses head up if your using a bit wouldn’t that hurt the horse?
Or is there a different way to keep the horses head up ?
Well no shit
Turn in a tiny circle? Cant buck when the head is bent🤷🏼♀️
@@katiebutland292 only issue with that is a fence and potentially risking an injury with loss of balance. I think he knew remaining call and letting his horse realize he's good was the best course of action
@@pebblekitty5740 yes it would hurt the horse, if the horse gets his head down though, you're gunna get thrown. This is the best way to nip this situation in the bud even though it is brutal. The thing is, prevention is better than cure. This horse only bucked because it was abused to begin with. Whole situation couldve been avoided without digging that piece of metal deep into the poor horse's mouth.
All this WITH NO STIRRUPS !! I would’ve been a gonner within a few seconds
Just a typical Musical nerd OMG same idk how he did it I rode a 17 hh horse and I Accidentally cantered with no stirrups but luckily she was calm and I stayed on sorry if it sounds like I’m bragging or something
He needed the length of his legs to cling on! Good thing his feet were not in hockey position (for racing)!
Me too!! I would be airborne!!
@Madeline Tramantano i dont support horse racing but for some horses riding is needed in order to keep them happy calm & healthy its a good source of exercise for some horses and u can really tell the difference in some
Seems no stirrups November paid off!
Amazing.
To those saying he should pull it in a circle, if he'd have sharply pulled the horse in a circle it wouldv'e very likely lost its balance and fallen over.
Well finally someone said it.
I was going to say the same thing. He has an amazing balance up there, but going straight forward is always easier than staying on a turning horse. No stirrups and just a little piece of leather between him and the horse, it would've been very unsafe for him to try and pull him in a circle, especially if the horse had tried to buck during the turn. A loose horse is extremely dangerous for himself and others, so not falling off is very important - he chose the right moment to jump off.
You spiral in a circle🤦🏼♀️
These English ppl are wildin
That’s called a one rein stop. I do it for my younger horses when I start them, it teaches them to stop from just one rein. It’s sort of an emergency stop for if one rein breaks off. It’ll spin him in circles till eventually he stops, he shouldn’t fall, or I’ve yet to have one just fall over from it even bucking. But this is coming from a western rider, so. What do I know lol xD Im not hear to argue I swear hah Every rider is different and honestly it didn’t look like he needed to do that he did amazing
His seatttttt😍😍
NO STIRRUPS!
@@silverkitty2503 he has stirrups
But he doesn't use them
Sydd Faith i knoww and he barely had a saddle, racing saddles are so small and not very supportive and especially without stirrups like omg
Rose Gray yeah i know jockeys have stirrups but he lost his
Nobody:
*Me running away from my instructor bc she wants to take my sturips away bc its no sturips november*
Truly amazing! It was a loud bang that scared the horse, the rider did it all correct, he sat, really SAT, and as soon as he had the opportunity he dismounted, and great speaker keeping calm too!🎀❤️
When the term "well sat" just doesn't quite cut it.. 🤣
I don't like races...but he was really amazing I mean he doesn't even had his stirrups on
He ditched the stirrups on purpose. No way he could have stayed on with his knees under his chin!
Excellent horsemanship most people don't realise how well trained and experienced jockeys are. Good that both didn't get injured.
Wow well handled! I was riding a horse that just started bolting randomly, and everyone told me I sat well, BUT WOW! He did great!
Had a similar situation happen once on a Gypsy Vanner. He was a lesson horse that my trainer said was "bombproof" 30 mins prior. He spooked because it was very windy outside that day even though I was in the indoor arena. He pretty much turned into a bucking bronco and even though it probably only lasted around 25 seconds, it felt like minutes. I remember just thinking as it happened, I really don't feel like getting thrown off today, and somehow I managed to ride it out. What I took away from that experience is no horse is "bombproof" and don't panic.
He really did super well and kept his cool, know how it is working with racing horses, not fun sitting on the back of them when they bolt, so he was super lucky. To us it looks like it is almost slow motion but you brain is just racing to get things under control. These horses are pure power and so unpredictable. He did so well. So happy for him getting off that horse undamaged. x
rode well... people don't c that side. kudos
Uhh no the horse was in pain and pulling as hard as you can on the but does NOT help you are so uneducated
Everett Young lol you do it then
There's a reason the horse freaked out so much :)
Kano Gibson yeah! there’s a full clip where there’s a super loud boom that spooked the horse and the flight instinct kicked in
Everett Young The horse was not in pain also have you ridden a horse? If you don't pull on the reins hard enough the horse will not stop and will keep going like its running a race.
Well sat and well rode!
Lily Dogelake you starstable player!!! Your dumb can’t you see the pain
Brooke .Equus.Trian ?? That makes no sense
@@brookeraquel2151 he put himself first. In that situation, it was the correct thing to do. To ride a horse, you apply pressure and release when the correct thing is done. This follows that pattern.
Hannah Heal in this situation, the "rider" better let go off the reins et try to sit properly to calm down his foal. I'm sorry, but pulling on the reins is not always the solution, and here, the "rider" should have calm his 3 years old foal in another way, because this one is cruel, especially when it's a baby like this one.
brooke raquel he isn’t in pain educate yourself! Your the dumb one here!
My horse done that when I was having a lesson on him and he just galloped for like 10mins
I got bucked off today:(
Weeeeeee 😂
@@MsVanorak yea u have to keep relaxed
OMG SAME!!!
I would shit myself. I can’t post yet lmaoooo
Well done to him! I ride horses and i see how well he did! AND no stirrups?! I would have been on the ground.
Janet omg that was amazing he knew how to handle the horse. I'm so glad the horse and jockey are save it could've turned out different.!!;)
Amazing seat. With bareback riding, you wrap your lower legs around the horse's rib cage and have your upper leg and pelvis moving with the seat. In a buck and bolt situation, you lean back, keep the horse's head up and ride it out. When the horse slows, you get off and calm the horse, then when it is calm, get back on and ride home. You DON'T STAY ON when it slows, you reward this behaviour (slowing);by getting off. Besides which, if you stay on, horse is probably going to go into round two in a few seconds. Get off in the lull, regain control of your mount, and go from there. He did everything right and prevented a very bad situation. BTW, I break horses as a hobby and have been riding off track racehorses since I was 15 years old and I'm now 45. Before you reply some bullshit comment, you need to think what it might be like to ride a horse that's not a perfect little Pony Club Schoolmaster.
What an amazing rider!!
And something one learns from all these kinds of videos: TH-cam commenters are ALL top experts on riding, especially riding the horse that's featured in the video.
I’m an ex jockey that was unbelievably good.
I don’t really support racing but the jockey handled the situation so well! Amazing, I would be on the ground within a few seconds 😅
NO stirrups! amazing. I wouldn't have pulled him in a tight circle but then it gives the horse an opportunity to swing out shoulder in and probably unseat the jockey. He did well to keep the horse as straight as he could while being calm.
A horse i was riding did this once. He was not a Tb so results will vary.
Instead of stopping him I asked him to speed up. I really hustled him. When I asked him to slow down he did.
Turn the spook into work, make it your choice and take control of the situation not the horse.
Thank you for pointing this out... bringing a scared horse to work is the best solution so he focuses on something else than the reason he's scared
This is best example of chestnutness
And no stirrups too! Amazingly ridden.
No stirrups would probably be better for sitting that than jockey length stirrups, tbh.
Jennifer R. Povey Haha, you have a point!
flatbread emporium not well ridden AT ALL he is pulling on the bit!!
flatbread emporium he was using the bit and reins to stay on
Horse_Lover_22 22 you play with plastic horses and film it! Horsemanship is not star stable. Come back when you have ridden a few times instead of watched Raleigh.
Oh wow I decided to watch this with the idea that I would see someone flying off but well done to that dude for staying on. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Brilliant horsemanship
I'm so glad the way he handled this. He didn't tear on the horses mouth or cause it to panic more
Nice staying on 😂👌
This jockey did wonderful
I'll never know how they do it. Only rode a horse once at a fair, being walked slowly by a lady and I somehow still managed to fall off. She caught me, that was kinda half her job to catch falling kids, but like... This guy looks like he's magnetized to the saddle or something, just... Amazing
If you renamed this a plunging horse you would get all the equestrians looking in awe.
i remember a horse doing this too me when i was in elementary school, the horse jump and make me fly away from the saddle then proceed to stares at me when i was down while crying lol this bring back memories
Was für ein toller Reiter… Respekt❤
Wow just learned brilliant advice keep horses head up if it’s bucking to prevent big ones - woke 😳
@Emma Kolander Someone mentioned that the horse could have fallen over and lost its balance had he done that, although Im still a noob equestrian so I don't know the facts very well yet. What do you think?
I love how he controlled the horse well however he was pulling on it's face a lot but it did slow down a bit and allowed him to get off and once he did he patted it and let the horse know it was ok
THERE WAS 0 CONTROLL
@@baileyslife6390 how the fuck do you expect him to control this situation a horse has a mind it does what it likes its not a robot
BigBoiOlly and this is why he shouldn't be riding a foal. A horse is not a robot, you're right. So stop pulling on the bit in this type of situation, and let the horse calm down by itself for gods sake !
Not sure if I’m interpreting what your saying correctly but not only young horses buck. My 15 year old does this all the time
Es un verdadero artista se merece un like
This guy really knows horses!!!
There was probably a reason why the horse spooked. It was not the horses fault. But he did good staying on.
He controlled his horse really well😇
He has done wonderfully and I can DEFINITELY agree with the guy talking that if you let the head of the horse go between their legs your gone . Because that happened to me it was kinda funny tho
Excellent rider!
Dang he did a good job with staying on, if that were me I would’ve gone flying over the horses head :0
Reminded of my past 😂 lolzzz that was great to watch.
Slowly bend to a stop with one rein, guiding the horse in a smaller and smaller circle. Far more effective than two (flexion should be practiced ALOT at home first)
I don’t support the racing industry so I don’t really know why I’m watching this but this person did an amazing job props to him
It warmed my heart so much that rider didn't panic, he jump off The saddle when It was right moment and horse started to calm down. Horse just probably spooked the leash on him...
Ew
What is this formula hard to see a horse getting abused he probably also doesn’t want to go in there because he probably knows you can break his freaking legs these are babies
@@lunadreamscroll8142 he isnt getting abused, the jockey was helpping calm the horse, they're all fine. relax
Did anyone else realize he did that with no stirrups? 😂
WOW That was amazing.
give me his seat
Buy better the shorts for cyclists. It's comfortable and sexy too 😊
What a fantastic seat
Wow he made that look easy 😂❤
I think I fall down. (Sorry for my english.)
Számít az is, hogy mennyire gyorsan, erősen és durván bakol a ló. Hát én már tapasztaltam ennél higanytestűbb állat bakolását,,, mit ne mondjak, 4 ugrás után már alulról néztem a fejét
Wow brilliantly sat!!
Man that jockey has skills
Woah, I really look up to this guy,
Amazing!!! What a great rider he must be 🥺
No heisn’t.
not amazing at all
Oh wow yeah I’m a horse rider and oml he did well ALSO WHITH NO STIRRUPS BRUH I WOULD HAVE FELL OFF IN A SECOND
Brilliant horsemanship would have never got it that way to begin with.
haha very funny reading the comments as usual. I actually thought this horse was fairly honest. Hes a young green horse, he could have slapped his head between his legs and start to plunge but he didnt. The jockey did well fair enough but the horse could have went to town on him and he didnt
STILL Amazing 2020
I would be straight off 😂
You never turn a racehorse in a sharp circle. They can injure their fragile legs. He did the exact & most profession thing. He kept the horse STRAIGHT which is your safest option on a racetrack. Try to turn the horse sharp, he could hurt himself, try wide circles, you may both go through the rails & end up in the ditch, with a 1200lb equine athlete tangled in safety netting on top of you.
Sam Bur Their legs are fragile cause their babies and they should not be raising them and they’re all idiots in the racing industry this is disgusting and abusive
He knows what to do!
Bloody hell what a rider!!!!
Cheer~~(of a horse) to perform a buck.😊
Must have VERY strong legs
He did pretty well riding through that. One rein stop
Damn that jockey handled himself well
this man can ride
Der reiter sitzt sehr gut👍
OMG! how did you stay on so long😱!?
@Nufc Magpies 123 wow no shit

I'm a goner by just looking at it.
I don’t like race tracks and the things that go on there, but he handled that situation very well

rofl.... hang on to it.... well done Tom. many would've lost out and eaten turf.... i'm gonna watch it again.
Absolute amazing
I think he did quite good 😌
Does this guy even know what he's talking about. Omfg!
The announcer was sooooo impressed. I mean the jocky did good. But that horse wasn't even going crazy. I've seen em buck twice as hard. And fricking bulls! Ever been to a rodeo?! Those bad mamba jambas would throw you to the moon!!!
So yanking the horses face and head off is good? NO! Horse should have thrown the evil jockey off and then trampled the jockey.
Great jockey, he handled that perfectly.
Someone's getting giddy 🤣
I trust the jockey received a decent sling after that. He should get an invite to the Mount Isa Rodeo. They are always on the lookout for international talent.
How did you stay on 😫😫
They caught that one out on the plains of Wyoming and let him compete lol.
My word he did do well!
He handled his horse well
Champion.
Omg his seat😍🤩 thats going to be me one day :)
Good jockey. Smart horseman.
Well done!

Bravo, Bravo, Bravo!,!,
he should try keeping the rein lower while holting
I think he’s done well there
