“stay as still as you can” *ppl running for their life*

What happened there was that the saddle slipped back to the flanks and that's a very sensitive part so it tried to buck it off. Any horse would do that!

I remember when this happened. The main outcome was there was a baby in a buggy that the horse trampled on. Luckily the little girl, who was two, I believe, was uninjured.

*runs over a baby carriage* “please keep calm stay still please”

"Stay as still as you can" People run as fast as they can

'Stand still' when there's a bucking bronco running towards you. Easier said than done!

This is me when some says there's a spider on my back...

Surprisingly the baby was unharmed, I remember seeing this incident live on TV. I think the filly's name was Fire Fly, ( am watching the clip on mute so can't hear the commentary). It was a shock to watch it live. Luckily, no one was seriously harmed.

“Keep calm, don’t run” literally everybody:🏃‍♀️🏃🏻🏃‍♂️

Monotone British accent: “Stay as still as you can” well it didn’t work for the baby at 0:15

holy shit, it's just a horse Horse: watch this round house kick to your human skull

I am speaking as an equestrian here, and I am here to tell you that you should NEVER at all attempt to catch a stampeding horse. There was a big chance when they caught his reins that he could've kicked up and possibly killed people. When a horse is doing this, especially in this situation, you need to get out of the way of the horse and let it calm down by its self.

Respect for that guy (before the horse settled down) that stood up for the crowd and actually tried to stop it

The tack slipped and thats all there is to it. I've seen 23 year old horses buck from slipped tack. Any horse at age could react like this. This is where the "flank strap" is put to encourage horses to buck in bronc riding.

Wow, never seen this before. Saddles that slip back to that area are SO dangerous. Horses won't stop bucking. Glad it seems to have worked out OK.

"He's in the cheaper enclosure", phew what a relief god forbid the upper classes get injured, who cares if a few peasants get trodden on.

it just wants to put a bet on

"He's in the cheaper enclosure" !!!!!!

“Stay As Still As you can!” *People Running For Their Lives Trying not to get stomped by a 2,000 Pound animal*

I'm pretty sure that baby in the pram was staying pretty still for all the good it did him.

All these people saying he's upset from being dragged and abused 😂 no sweeties his tack slipped and he's uncomfortable and spooked it happens.

Fair play to the one who actually stood and tried to stop the horse and calm her down.

“And the horse is now loose in the cheaper enclosure” Oh, that’s all right then, phew, for a moment I thought it was blazing with rage and murdering the rich punters.

“ Stand still and keep calm.” *Says as baby stroller gets crushed by the horse.*

That saddle slip or equipment malfunction should never ever have happened. All equipment is supposed to be thoroughly checked before the jockey even mounts! Someone should be fired and never allowed near the race track or race horses again.

I’m so beyond upset at whoever put that poor boy’s tack on. Now, I won’t rule out that some crazy mistake might’ve happened and it might not have been their fault. However, I’m fairly sure the only way that happens is when the girth isn’t tightened enough and checked/fitted for him properly.

I love how the commentator is being so calm while people are screaming

I understand it is absolutely terrifying to have a horse or more so a thousand pound animal come charging at you, but animals are sensitive and if you panic, they will also panic.

Man, stay right where you are, do not move Me, IM SORRY, THERE IS A LOOSE HORSE COMING RIGHT FOR ME! I AM DEFINITELY NOT GOING TO TO STAY WHERE I AM!

The tack had slipped back as he went under the gates and was sitting on his family jewels! Unsurprisingly, he was trying to kick the tack away.

Oh the poor thing! He must have been so frightened

I actually found how they dealt with this really admirable, ran when necessary, no one most their heads. Anywhere else in the world- chaos

The reason why the horse was bucking so much and made this mess was because his saddle slipped down to the rump of the horse and when a horse feels something on its rump that’s unknown to them, its first instinct is to buck

How about we let the announcer have the horse run at him while being told to stay as still as he can?

I remember watching this live, the horse appeared to trample over a pram but miraculously the baby was unharmed. Scary and so lucky nobody got hurt.

"Stay as still as you can." "OK, 500kg of racehorse about to flatten me but I'll stay still and let it knock me into the middle of next week."

I'm so sorry for the old lady that falled :(

fair to say more than a few pairs of undies were filled during this situation😂

This horse looks like me trying to learn the controls for a new game.

0:15 Heroic parent abandoning the pram.

It's easy to say don't run from the safety of a box

Poor Horse

Damn there was so many chances to calmly catch that horse before it went off the grass

Stay calm ....Stay as still as you can....easy for you to say from safety box! Hope everyone is safe!

He just wanted to tell the people to bet on him !!!

By the looks of it, the saddle must've slipped onto a nerve and made him do that, also I hope the guy who fell over is ok, and didn't get injured

actually, this is so sad do you guys know how many horses die on the race track

“Stand still! Stay calm! Stand still!” Everyone:🏃‍♀️🏃🏃‍♂️

0:15 The baby and the grandma!!!

This kind of thing is probably why lots of tracks have an extra person for each horse in the gate to hold onto them until the race starts. I've seen a horse break out of the gate prematurely but the handler held onto him and the horse didn't get away. Much safer

i love how he says ’stay as still as possible’ and the ppl are just running around like headless chickens

The saddle just moved back and it was soooo uncomfortable for horse... i think peaople should move on and give a moment for horse keep calming.

I know that the horse is scared but I have never a horse who ran straight towards someone and crushing them. Usually, horses don't do that. The ran away from people who wave there arms

“Please stay as still as you can.” *crowd runs*

0:35 Im gonna hire this taxi hey hey taxi taxi!

Goes to show how tight that girth was

"Stay as still as you can.." Yeah right! Stay as still as you can and let the horse plough into you. Poor horse had the saddle girth at the worst place on its belly -- in front of its hind legs. Cowboys who ride bucking horses have a tight girth around the horse at the same spot.

Wow thats incredible, just so glad the horse ended up ok, and know one was hurt

poor baby, was obviously stressed :(

I 'love' how the announcer says 'please stay calm and as still as you can' then peeps do the opposite

I never understand why people CLAP AFTER A SPOOKED HORSE IS FINALLY CAUGHT????? Like, do you want it to spook again?? It's not the moment you want to be making any extra noise people!!!!

I love how the announcer was completely unfazed

Gotta love it. In the 'cheaper' enclosure lol

I feel bad for race horses.

Poor thing, it must hurt with that girth on his sheath. He probably didn’t mean to hurt anyone, hopefully, everything turned out ok in the end..

That horse is me when my mom says get ready for school 😂

That poor horse is used to being handled roughly by trainers, handlers and Jockeys. He went berserk because he’s treated like a circus animal and probably thought he was being made to wear that for some weird punishment or training. He wants to get the hell off the racetrack foreverz

"Stay as still as you can" says the guy who's safely watching from the box.

He’s got into the ‘cheaper enclosure’ 😂

"Why didn't the people just grab the reins?" Humans have fight or flight too! We are animals xD Of course the people got scared/spooked and fled, then again some people dealt with it properly and grabbed its reins but the people were clearly scared.

It looks a scary incident. If only these horse experts in the comments section, were all there that day! The horse might have been caught seconds before. The saddle slipped (I think it is safe to say, that everyone now sees the problem and knows where a saddle usually sits). A horse unexpectedly, breaks through a barrier into the spectator's area, in full panic. It is natural that the crowd is going to diverse.

that guy saying to be calm and still, would be the first one to run and scream if he was in the audience

Omg something like this happened to me at a barn that I go to, basically a girl Was putting on a saddle on a massive horse and the saddle slipped and the girth was still attached and the horse bolted jumped over the inside arena fence and BROKE it and broke the saddle broke. At the end everyone was fine tho

Kudos to the brave men who stood up and tried to stop the horse.

Gentleman at 0:36 was much sensible to pull the halter and the horse was calm.

That guy that caught the horse was the real hero here, he just pulled the thing then horse stopped, like wth is he a horse whisperer

“Stay as still as you can” When a bucking Bronco is running at you, your run or walk to the side, not from it

*stay as still as you can* made me laugh , easier said than it was done !

"She can't see you if you hold perfectly still...!"

Just like Obi-Wan said Luke reach out with your feelings

When the bubblegum gets stuck under your feet

and This is what happens if you don’t cinch the saddle properly

‘Stand still’ Everyone: -crowding and running-

"stay as still as possible, keep calm" *everyone frantically running*

I know this can happen, but damn I've never seen anything as bad as this happen from a simple case of tack slipping.

Stay still keep calm don't run its easy for the commentator he's safe enough in the commentary box the horse won't get up there.

Guy in the suit on 37 seconds, brave as, and stopped the whole thing! Respect

Looked up this video because that horse is now a champion show jumper ironically.

I like that, horse was just getting his revenge. _’Yeah how do you like this, now you run and I’ll place a bet on you!’_

0:35 Deleted episode of Mr. Bean.

The cinch has become a bucking strap if you understand anything about tack plus the "irons" stirrups if still on the saddle are stricking into the horse as it bucks.

I remember that happening but it was all about how the baby in the pram escaped injury thank god.

I felt the same way first time I wore a string.

The summer of 2013, everything was calm and still. People were placing bets on horses and the race was about to start. Then, tragedy struck. One of the horses burst out of that stall making the jockey fall off and the tack sliding back on the horse. It freaked out. It then started to buck and kick, almost falling over in the process. It then slid under the fence and started to run through the crowd. People the running and trying to get away. “Please stay still and keep calm”, the announcer would say, but it was no use. The horse was to far gone in fear to care about the people if they we’re running or standing still people we’re running for the exits as the horse persisted. Then one man ran out from the crowd. He grabbed the reins and was able to get the horse under control before the experts arrived. He very well could have saved lives that day. The horse was fine, a little shaken, but fine. No one was injured that day, thankfully.

Could the announcer be heard from the actual track? I remember this when it happened, it was in the news.

Horse: charges at person. Announcer: stay still as you can!!

0:15 That's one lucky baby right there. Those carriages could have tangled into horses leg and cause even more damage.

0:15 omg the baby!!!

Astonished that no one ended up with a smashed skull. 10K newtons of force.

Formidable Flame, eh? Well it was certainly quite the feat getting him to stop!
