Glad to see the horse getting up, I thought it was dead
-
I don't think i have the heart to watch any more of these accidents.
-
Could not belive it when 2nd horse got up he'd been been down for couple minutes so I thought he was dead
-
OMG - me too - so thought it was dead of a broken neck - SOO pleased
-
Magic that's what we all love to see the family members getting back on their feet. Brilliant well done to all.god bless.
-
Also worth mentioning, in many cross country derbies, any horse that falls is perminantly eliminated from competing. Riders try VERY hard to prevent his from happening because they lose all of their investments and sometimes a few years of time training a mount. Wet and slick conditions is the cruel thing- expecting people to put their horses in danger so races don't have to be rescheduled.

I was so happy they both got up!
-
Thank God that horse was ok.
-
It's really insane how they have this particular race where the horses have to jump so high at such high speeds
-
Was not expecting that second horse to get up! :)
-

-
I love that blue and white stripe guy he stayed and comforted that poor horse
-
I'm glad to see that the horses okay and the rider love and blessing

Not one of those horses got over that jump without touching it with their back hooves.
-
The orange jacket guy did an amazing job - so much expertise on horses wow
-

-
Oh Thank GOD!! They both got up!!

This is disgusting these people, the owners the trainers and the jockeys should be prosecuted for animal cruelty
