    That looks to me like a deliberate move by the horse...its ears are back and I don't see anything that could have spooked the horse. Regardless, if I were the owner of the horse, I could never trust the horse again, so it's either out to pasture or out to the glue factory. As an owner, that horse is a liability at this point, with this incident on its record.

    I sure hope the poor woman survived her injuries.

    Here's the story;

    What you don't see in the video was the temper tantrum he pitched in the beginning, or the fact that his his buddy just finished their run and was heading back up to the barn, how windy it was, or the fact that the reigns on the left side were open. I clearly came up too high and tight on the right when closing that side off, but had he given into the circling that was meant to happen until he was ready to finally move forward into the ring then we could have avoided all that. Sorry to disappoint, still alive, no wheel chair, not even any broken bones, just some gnarly bruising 😂 And we still hit up the trails a few weeks later, there were no hard feelings, just some good lessons. 👍✌😜

    Until the next time.

    Good luck with a horse like that, and make sure your healthcare and liability insurance payments are made on time.

    When I was about 16 a group of us went horseback riding, the horse I was on stopped when we were out of sight of the barn, it bucked a little, was trying to bite me, I got off and walked back to the barn. The guy was yelling at me for not knowing how to control the horse. When he drove me back he grabbed the reins and punched that horse in the nose. There now get back on and don't do that again. That horse ran full speed the whole course, I couldn't stop him. I felt like the Lone Ranger trying to catch a bad guy. I passed the group a couple of times. He finally slowed down when it was time for the whole group to head back to the barn. I told my friends thats enough for me. I'll stick to working on cars. LOL. I sure hope that lady is ok.

    Looking at the horse footage very slowly, (after this silly lady pulled too tightly on the reigns and held the horse's head too high) she slipped out of the saddle to the left and appears to have had her right leg injured or at least trapped.
