Tumrue

It jumped to early and yes, it could be tired but the jumps are tiring

IF ANYONE DARE SAY THIS IS ABUSE THEN SHAME BECAUSE HORSES SOMETIMES ACTUALLY *LIKE* JUMPING!

Tired horses don’t pull to the jumps

Didn't the horse die

@@Xxx-n1c Obviously not if it got up and ran off soundly

agree, I don't know the horse on any other performance. However, he didn't seem to be having his best day at work. seemed a bit off through the whole course, could be a rider issue.

Did the horse get hurt when he knocked down that rail? Know one knows because no one checked the horse.

@@janethill4365The announcer said they were getting veterinary care at the end of the vid.

@@nicoblubI heard it plus I ride horses and I think it might have a temporary injury.

As someone who rides I agree on this, poor guy. But thanks God they're both ok, looked real bad at first but he was fine

Absolut richtig! TIERQUÄLEREI! Wie viele Opfer muss es noch geben, damit das verboten wird???

Poor her and the horse, they didn't want that, no, how sad ☹️

You guys know nothing about horses probably. Like if the horse doesn’t want to do the activity it will show signs of it and if the rider is nice then it will know straight away not to push them

@@Mr_Uranus7 The reality is they ARE pushed! Thats why accidents happen again and again... This horse clearly showed it wasnt happy to do it!

​​@@winonaloversYou're damn right

It looked to you😂

They usually don't have any bond... Especially Olympic horses, where in showjumping, they compete after meeting the horse like a day or so prior. It's terrible, the riders should have their own horses. The grooms are probably the only ones the horses recognise as good people.

@@horse_addictforlife_ECuestrianJust to clarify …. That is pentathlon, not the official showjumping of the Olympics, and that is NOT regulated by the FEI, which is why the scandalous treatment of a horse happened last time. And after Paris this year, the riding portion will be replaced by cycling. In showjumping at the Olympics, everything is regulated by the FEI, and riders who go are HIGHLY trained riders who own their own steeds. I’m a nationally published equine photographer and equine welfare advocate, and I have seen a lot, including refusing service to abusers, and I must say that while abuse is rampant, reforms need to be done to the sport as well. The problem with a lot of elite showjumpers is they are merely a vehicle for ego, overworked, not given time off … and tired out. This horse in the video is clearly showing body language signifying he is in pain and tired. On the positive side, I’ve also seen showjumpers who are treated very well by their owners, given chiro and massage, fed organic feed, given two days on and two days off of jumping. And seriously, nobody jumps beyond 3 feet fences at an ethical barn. Also, many breeds of horses are bred to work and love to do so as long as they are treated ethically, get bored and destructive if they don’t have a job. In fact, many breeds of horses are in danger of going extinct since there is no more work for them; some examples include the Shire, American Cream Draft, Timor Pony, Hackney Horse, Suffolk Punch, and Cleveland Bay. In a nutshell, there are good and bad in the sport. Many elite riders DO need to spend more time mucking out stalls, bonding with the horses, learning to read their body language and knowing what the horses’ needs are. And then truly a bond can form. As to pentathlon, I was scandalized to watch videos of how people in Tokyo and previous Olympics were riding: Poor seat, constantly falling off the horses, horses crashing through fences. This would NEVER happen in an accredited horse show and you would NOT be allowed to jump before you can canter securely under the tutelage of an experienced trainer. I found out that the pentathlon athletes BARELY have riding training (they often only go once a month for riding lessons, for example), and they should NOT be jumping with the terrible riding skills they have … or being put on high end show horses that are too advanced for their skill level. I have been taking riding lessons for six months, and honestly, I can ride better than any of those people. I am glad that what happened at the pentathlon last Olympics exposed the abuse and terrible riding standards that horse welfare advocates like myself have been noticing and calling out for a long time, and I am so glad that cycling is taking the place of showjumping for this situation … because it jeopardizes actual Olympic showjumpers, who OWN their own horse, train for years, fly them there. As I say as an equine welfare advocate, don’t ban the horse shows … ban the crazies. Hope you enjoyed a little insight! :)

The rider is just showing zero horse sense on the ground, just continuously fucking with his head to try and cram the bridle back on him while there's still reins flopping in his eyes and he's clearly backing away asking for space. Groom walks over, takes the bridle off, "hey, we're chill now," and just like that he's ready to stand and be haltered. Makes me wonder if some of these riders are spoiled rich girls who have never had to take care of their own horses.

@@thespaceshuttlechallenger7882 A lot of professional riders abuse their horses. Not saying that all of them do, but most of them do. Since the grooms are the ones looking after the horses and making them feel comfortable, the horses obviously know that the grooms are the people they can trust.

Dopo una caduta del genere nn 3 facile rimettere una testiera ad un cavallo mentre tremi.. Te lo assicuro . Il groom arriva calmo e nn ha fatto una caduta del genere.. Il cavallo essendo sensibile sente la persona che nn 3 tranquilla..

I completely agree with you….

A 100% true what you say

He was blowing and farting. Looked very sluggish. Those big old fences are making him sick of jumping.

Agreed. The hotse wasn't happy from the start. Always the riders fault, the horse does not ask to be made to jump. She fucked up.

yea that horse looks like it doesnt want to be there-

Yes! The horse's head kept dipping down when landing. I expected a tumble at every jump. Horse and rider did not seem in sync at all. Definitely not the grasses fault. 100% the rider.

Yea..

I’m not hating but they’re a big animal, they’re a lot stronger than us. There is a sport called quadrobics which is moving and running and jumping on all fours like a horse. Some people can jump very high and do a buck and some people can jump very long, my longest jump was a tiny bit over five feet and my highest must have been three and a half feet. If we took obstacles like the poles for the horses and had obstacles that are equal in size, you could see. Quadrobists. An hurt themselves real bad from jumping and stuff as well, my brother did it a little bit and he had a bruise on his face for weeks, you can easily break your wrist with all your body weight landing on it. I once hurt my elbow so bad I could barely use it for weeks. Try searching up a quadrobics video. Horses are a lot stronger than you think, they’re kinda made for this, I’m not hating, I still know they can get hurt very bad

Ich kann es nur immer wieder sagen Pferde sind Fluchttiere dieses Ganze Turniere sind Geldmacherei auf Kosten der Tiere 😢das gehört total abgeschafft .....Es sei denn die Tiere laufen ohne Sattel und Geschirr im Maul freiwillig Mit Ihrem Reiter ,,,,,Das WÜRDE KÖNNEN DER REITER BEDEUTEN WAS JA AUGENSEINLICH NICHT VORHANDEN IST ..

It probably took a while for the rider to just comprehend what just happened and she was probably hurt too (coming from an equestrian) Plus if u look closely the rider came up to the horse as soon as she fell but the horse immediately bolted

You are 100% correct. Thank you for pointing out the obvious, as it appears many people can't see it.

She rode the horse perfectly, so stop thinking you know anything about the rider

⁠​⁠@@mathmester1457perfectly? Apparently you do not know the meaning of perfectly.

You spelled "ego" wrong.

Erm. If you say this is abuse THEN NO did ya know some horses *like* doing this sorta thing? Did you know……? I mean yes thre rider and horse aren’t in sync so obviously the performance was not to plan. BUT THIS GENERALLY DONT HURT THE HORSE

Then go get another horse!!

When you work with horses accidents happen, accidents are pretty rare, and I totally agree with you when you said they are so kind to allow us to do this stuff to them! Their so friendly and I’m sure the riders would never want this to happen to their horse. I think the whole reason why the horse slipped was because the grass was slippery, there are specific breeds of horses that have been bred to favour in this discipline, Jumping is a sport and is an test of fitness and training and a partnership between horse and rider. It is an all round test of horse and rider. 😊❤

Yes, its too dangerous for them. And for the rider. But the horse is most in danger. Yes, is a sport but sometimes we need to say STOP...

I do agree with you, but it’s not for, “some prize money”. Other than racing, show jumpers compete for the most money; the purses are thousands of dollars. Where there’s money, there will be abuse.

@@sherinnovak729 I do horse riding because I love working with horses and I one day would love to compete at a high level, in sports there’s most definitely people in their for the money, but show jumping isn’t like racing, unlike people who own race horses (most of the time they’ve never even ridden a horse) show jumpers spend countless hours of training and thousands of dollars just to do a sport, and I’m not saying some of these people aren’t abusive, the equestrian community is full of terrible people, but this was a total accident :)❤️

Its not just jumping also flat racing its horrible

They are NOT OK. And you want to return that poor stressed, abused horse to the jumping ring? Wow. No words.

@@famouskate9071 lol, he needed more speed for the spread, and he tried to tell the rider...and yes, I've seen horses take worse falls in the pasture...these guys are pros and they will be back

Exactly,they are doing the same thing in Dressage,turning into spectacle rather than a test of horsemanship. Very sad indeed.

I'm not very interested in equestrianism anymore and I agree. The horse seemed unhappy the whole way through the competition.

@@joythesylveon496 Tense, not unhappy.

​@@mrswoodbrookeDie Wortwahl ist egal. Dem Pferd ging's nicht gut und es ist nicht raus, ob es sich innere Verletzungen zugezogen hat. Das Pferd leidet, nicht diese verwöhnte reiche Göre. Springreiten gehört verboten!

Très juste, c’est pitoyable ! Cela montre vraiment comment elle considère son cheval.

FR

Just because you've been riding for 18 years doesn't mean you're always right. This horse was tense, probably not trained right. The tension cause lack of performance and it went downhill.

You are correct. Ignore those who disagree. They don't know any better,

@@mrswoodbrooke right or not they IGNORED the horses signs in general

lol

@Bebeandbanjo thanks for that great information!!

@Bebeandbanjo ??

@Bebeandbanjo ok I just learned something!! lol

Tense, not tired

A lot of them have a nasty habit of not releasing the reins. I was always taught that in an arena the best thing is to let go.

it was just a simple mistake they misjudged the jumped causing the horse to knock the pole and just lost footing on the landing. luckily both horse in rider had no injuries

​@@jul_eq7Das ganze Gespann hat von Anfang an nicht gepasst. Das hat man doch gesehen!
