Drat, I was waiting until I got to a YouTube compatible computer to watch this and now it's been taken down. What the heck did it show?? Were these fine harness horses, draft horse hitches, 4-H'ers, what?Leia
Leia, the Video was at an Arabian horse show, the horses were in fine harness. One man lost control of his horse (galloping, bucking, bolting). The announcer said when it all started "slow to a walk and come into the center" One lady did get "rear ended" before she knew what the heck was happening. The runaway horse, soon lost it's cart and was running around the ring with it's harness still on,I believe the binders where still on as well. The horse was cutting across the middle often, People in the stands were screaming when ever it did so, there was also people trying to get in the loose horse's way making it cut across the center. At this point the announcer said "Be quit and keep the horse running on the outside, try to keep it on the outside if you can" (or something like that) The loose horse then cut across one end and crashed into a ladies horse, they got a hold of the loose horse but the one that got smacked into fell, the driver got dumped out, when the horse got up it was running (i'm not sure how this happened because she did have a header). After this horse ran around for a while the announcer suggested that they get the other horses out of there. It appeared that a few of them got their horses out, or at least unhitched but the camera was following the loose horse around so it was hard to tell what was going on with the rest of the horses. In the end they roped the second loose horse, I believe they got it by the legs because it went down so fast.
so thats what happened in the video.
