No offense, but honestly this does not look fun at all-- and especially not to the horses. I mean, honestly, do you really think the horses believe being forced to jump in a crowd of horses /WHILE/ occasionally falling down and being trampled is fun? Yeah, thats my definition of fun to. I love being trampled. Overprotective is good-- see how you like being forced to do something like that where your scared, and getting injured.
The one that ran the whole way without a rider was so brave and strong enough not to fall as without support from the rider, one mistake he would have been down :/
This was a bit too chaotic and definitely very dangerous. Some of those riders looked dead when they fell off and those poor horse's, especially the grey one, you could tell she was struggling to get up but something was wrong. I wish the stupid announcer and cameraman made sure the grey was okay before continuing on. Safety should always be the top priority, NOT who wins!
Je ne vois pas du tout la beauté du sport là-dedans ! Juste Eurkkk !
excellent stuff, got to love the Carberry's, thoroughbred jockeys.....
these people should get lives..
ctfu at the horse that ran the whole way without a rider!
I thought Barry Gerety looks really young then saw the video was 15 years ago 😮
Was the grey horse that fell ok? It was a nasty fall and he/she looked to be seriously injured.
what are you watchin it for? go watch dressage instead

So it's still alive? Thank god, hopefully I'll be doing that at some point! AM looking to go into national hunt racing, but this looks extreme!
If the horses didnt like it or didnt want to do it then they wouldnt do it
Some people are so over protective of horses,i think this looks like great fun and i would love to do it!
Split rail and hedge fun!

In dressage a horse can trip and fall and roll on top of their riders. One wrong step or bad footing can mess up everything.
@RetrainedRacehorses Thats what I was thinking and they did not even stop to make sure he was ok :(
