    Guy throughout the entire race to horse: shhh it’s okay boy you’re doing good just take it easy Guy in the last 30 seconds of race to horse: A A A A A A A A ‘arms flailing’
  • Damn, it must be so terrifying jumping fences with horses and jockeys dropping left right and centre, knowing that you and your horse could be next.
  • @jackglossop4859
    The way he's just laughing and joking around before is amazing, considering he knows it could be his last day alive/able to walk. Massive balls!

    I backed Many Clouds last year. My first winner after 30 years of watching the National. Will never forget his name. Watching the effort he put in I should have sent a carrot through the post! Hope he does the double

    I love how at the end the dude riding shut the front door says "Give me a kiss" loll, good job :D

    Love this - there's so much captured on this otherwise and often missed. The exchanges between jockeys from the genuine and sincere words of good luck and best wishes at the start, the loud shouts mid-race to tell others to keep out the way and then heartfelt congratulations at the end. I competed in XC and endurance riding for years and was always big on encouragement and praise in-between jumps more so with a tired horse which could be anything from a quick pat and “Good lad” to lots of casual but humorous effing and jeffing mixed in with “Whooops” Euurggh!!!” and “WHEEE!!” There are times a horse really doesn't have anything else left in which case you have to pull up. Jockeys didn't used to have that worry once upon a time but we've moved on since then thankfully. The few times I made that mistake (instantly and bitterly regretted) the horse let me know by running out or refusing a fence sending me arse over tit. One or two would clip fences we should have cleared at a leisurely trot so I knew they were all out, pulled up and retired. I lived and rode this race - shatting myself at the first fence and gasping in excitement after safely clearing the last and feeling that sense of “Holy shit – we're over and almost home sweet – c'mon we can do this long run home C'MON!!” and you can see those two ears pricking back up and getting those last few drops out the tank. Brilliant ride and partnership. PS. Canal Turn made me go "Eeeeeeesssshhhiiitt..."

    I find racing thrilling but just race horses on a flat field not over jumps
  • Couple of things for me: Love the start when asking CJ if they are nervous “Just want him back safe” His ears are pricked all the way round, he was loving it, these horses are meant to jump!
  • @ya.ghostie
    That riderless horse just kept going on his own following the herd.
  • @Flufferz626
    The jockey constantly praising the horse when he was a good boy made me smile. Don't see that enough.
  • @awuma
    If you like riding along with the jockey, watch the eventing cross country videos by Elisa Wallace. Similar distance and pace, but it's just one horse and rider with much trickier jumps.
  • @yesno8588
    These horses are seriously impressive, to imagine they have so much endurance is crazy. I hope everyone was safe and no serious injuries happened.
