Terrible accident but the sportmanship of the other drivers trying to catch the loose horses the outriders couldnt get is hearwarming. Ive been drivers drive with one hand and lead the other horse with the other.

shout out to the jockey that reached out and grabbed a jockey less horse while driving his horse. Good horsemen ship there.

They are called outriders, they are so important to harness racing. I was in harness racing in Canada driving thousands of races and I have seen hundreds of times they have saved peoples lives and horses lives.

I worked at a harness racing barn and have been around horses for almost 20 years. It looked from th3 video like a jockey. I know how important outriders are.

Terrible accident to see, Stephen was trampled on by several horses and he was very lucky to survive this mishap. Did he do any more driving or decide to call it a day.

looks like the drivers in the front started slowing down their horses as soon as it happened, which caused rear-enders from the horses behind?

Such a horrible event and yet, the replays at the end are shown while a very upbeat song plays? VERY inappropriate music.

The only thing more inappropriate would have been Benny Hill music.

He had some broken bones but survived. I think he’s long dead now.

According to Animal Planet's show Untamed and Uncut, a show that showed shocking footage of animal encounters gone seriously wrong, the jockey ended up being okay from that ordeal.
