I had a good laugh...then a ponder...more laughing.

Surely I've never been THAT far out of the saddle!!!

That has to be a joke.

haha, this is going around the internet like crazy.

It's soooo horrible. There's no way that could be a joke, unless that person has no care for their horses well-being.

Yeah.. no way that is actually real... If it is real, oh dear... He no doubt will never reproduce, probably have little to no teeth and a broken nose...

On the pro side if you wanna ever show a student/someone what not to do... There's lots of stuff you could talk about and show them lol

I have to say kudos to that lovely grey horse. S/he obviously has a great temperament to deal with that! That horse definitely deserves a MUCH better rider! (understatement of the year) What was he even doing in a show???

i hope its not a joke cause thats not funny, that rider is horrid and then to be hit after putting up with that bad a ride! border-line abuse in my opinion. My sympathies to that brave horse. I could never jump that course/height, and i realize that, so i'd never subject a horse to that punishment of putting up with me flopping around.

Kudos to that wonderful horse. Wonder if the guys n#@s were a little tender after that ride. He did ride better when he lost his stirrups.

Made me cringe - couldn't even watch the whole thing! Poor horse.......
Ugh!

What the heck was that guy doing? Was that his first time jumping? Poor horse, if i were that horse that guy would have been on the ground!
