Great horsemanship getting the horse back under control. Even the most steady mounts can spook.

Must be hard controlling a horse with one hand when the horse decides to bolt

A Drag?? Dragging is when a rider falls off, and their foot is caught in the stirrup, and their head is bouncing along the ground- This was a horse just cantering a little, the rider looks a little unbalanced, that is all.

Didn't really bolt, just being a bugger and it certainly didn't drag him

Sppoked? English classes more than horsemanship issues here. I didn't expect this in GB. We have it in our media in the US! Horrendous.

I notice that one of the Grooms from the Royal Household went to help and obviously the sight of a calm horse reassured the spooked horse . Perhaps they are stabled together at the Royal Mews

The horse could probably have done with a good gallop to use up some of his energy before going in the cavalcade. He looked to be a bit full of himself to me.

Over dramatisation AAA. Brilliant control by the rider.

It was mildly alarming but not at all shocking. The horse napped, he bounced about trying to maintain his dignity while it carted him off under the trees! Two police officers just stood and watched. Fortunately he wasn't dragged along the ground upside down with one foot stuck in the stirrup or they'd have had to stop and call an ambulance.

The horse carted him, it didn't 'drag' him. Happens to the best of us. "Stick on, it has to stop eventually".

Mas allá de los errores del jinete y del temperamento de "Jumping Jack", quienes debieron auxiliarlo de inmediato se limitaron inicialmente a mirar el caballo en fuga en medio de la arboleda, sin reaccionar con la presteza que el caso requería. Me imagino que el Mayor General habrá tomado las acciones correctivas del caso.

You are right, in the sense that somebody should have intervened, but unfortunately none of the high-ranking officers that surrounded him could have done that (they are not supposed to do that, plus they were at the end of the parade, exiting the grounds). However...there are stewards around, who did pick up things that fell down (a police officer picked up his helmet) and ran after the horse. In these moments, even the stewards could not intervene, since the horse started running (one cannot engage with a running horse), so Major General was the only one who should have controlled the horse. Luckily, the horse stopped quickly.

@@Roox8115 Concuerdo con Ud en cuanto a los Oficiales Superiores,stewards y policías involucrados. Mi comentario se refiere exclusivamente al accionar de los palafreneros a caballo que inicialmente demoran en intervenir y cuando uno de ellos brinda su ayuda, lo hace con mucha demora.

His riding isn't bad as they are highly trained i would like to see others controlling their horse with one hand.

@dianechilton5078 2 ай бұрын

They most likely control the horse with their legs more than the reins. When learning to ride I had the bridle and stirrups taken off me to learn to control the horse with my legs. They are good riders though it would be hard with all the gear on and holding swords etc.

@@helveticaification indeed. There’s little option but to take a pass on being on horseback while still fighting cancer. If the kings horse does to him want the major general’s horse did to him we could all have problems. Hopefully next year HM will be back in the saddle literally After all his dad rode on parade into his 90s
