First post

So this is my first post. I did a search and had a look but couldn't see this, but if it's been posted before it wouldn't surprise me. Sorry if it has! :P

I laughed really hard when I saw this. The silly cow only cares about the money and not her horse. I don't know what happened, perhaps something spooked it?

Has anyone ever seen a horse spook like that? That was downright weird.

Looks like it hurt and it immediately cut to her scratching the horse's face... falling off at any show sucks, but a huge one? Awful :(

It "almost" looked like the horse started to crow hop...

Jeez that's a bad fall.. What are they doing, anyway..? I plead ignorance. It looks.. Hunterish?

I believe their doing show hacking, they have it over here in Australia too.
It's basically like... hunters on the flat crossed with dressage. It's also like dog showing in a sense, but you're riding the animal (I couldn't think of a better comparison haha.) I personally hate it, the stuff people do to their horses is ridiculous...dye their coat, put makeup and glitter on their faces, get $100+ new bling browbands virtually every reasonably sized show, i've competed in a few classes and the judge would even look at my tb because he wasn't in a double bit with his head stuffed to his chest like most of the others.. Basically they don't give a flying f--- what the rider looks like, as long as he/she sits up straight and can kinda sit the gaits. A horse was bucking and going crazy in a class I was in and the judge just asked her to go 'around the other way' the horse got 2nd, my tb who was acting close to perfect got 4th...

It's at Horse of the Year show (HOYS) and it is the biggest showing event in the UK, and to qualify you actually need to be good. By the look of her attire (tweed jacket and plain bridle) she is doing Show Hunter Ponies (SHP), where you'd just do a show on the flat. It is a huge event HOYS with huge crowds and nothing like any other show so the horse was probably spooked by the lights and the atmosphere.

Even though 'daddy' probably bought her the ready made pony, you do have to be a certain level to even qualify

All of this info about the HOYS and classes are very cool to learn about! We don't have this stuff in America, (at least not with cute ponies) and even though I was in Pony Club they didn't cover these type of shows in education.
