As a prey animal, the horse has a very intense flight instinct; and keen aversion to being eaten!!! With the crowd screaming and people running around after it, the horse naturally saw a goblin around every piece/person in the ring/arena. The announcer's instructions for everyone to go to the inside was very prudent because a spooked, fast moving horse will naturally tend to run wide.

I don't know how people can jump in the path of a scared horse. I had a similar experience once. One of our horses broke lose and ran through the stable area. It came straight towards me - I waited calmly in its way, but only as long as I was sure it could stop. As I saw that it would not slow down I moved out of its way - safety first. Even if I would have wanted to wait it out I could not have done it. It is so scary to see a cantering horse running towards oneself ...

For those responding more recently the first horse (the chestnut) who bucked at the beginning then bolted was stung by wasps, it turned out there was a small nest which was disturbed by all the gigs driving past. There were obviously some people who panicked because they aren’t used to a horses so the situation got worse. I’m sure they meant well but the fact that all the loose horses kept coming towards the middle is because their natural instinct is to be within a herd of horses. I hope all the horses and humans involved were ok in the end.x

I grew up riding a dealing with horses my whole life. Training your horse well was instilled in me and the importance of it. And how I needed to know what to do in any situation. Calm and a steady tone is vital. And if you’re somewhere where a horse goes into panic mode, keep your eye on the horse and have a plan. Don’t just sit in one open targeted spot, get out of the line of fire. And allow the minimum amount of people handle the horse. Less is better. I was also taught that when I’m training my horse to develop a control trigger that will make your horse stop in any situation. It’s a combination of whatever signal you develop between you and your horse and your ability to immediately convince them that they’re safe and ok. Because that’s their mindset regarding you, they’re protecting and taking care of you, they need to the same from their rider. Happy Trails folks.

As someone who has knowledge about what happened during this class, I must say that the comments on this video are dripping with ignorance. First of all, 'we need a medic please' was for the paraplegic woman. It was her horse that was spooked last. She fell from her cart. Enough said. The man that was seen 'run over' was perfectly fine. At most, he had minor injuries. He was the most injured out of anyone. Yes, this is a trama that these horses will never recover from. None of these horses were ever driven again, I'm sure. That being said, NONE of them were put down either. It is absolutely ridiculous that any of you would actually believe that! That horse that fell down at the end got tangled up in all his equipment, that is why he tripped, and why they held him down. Just after this video ended, they succeeded in getting all the tack off him, and he was allowed to stand up, and they calmly walked him out of the arena. He wasn't even limping. None were badly injured due to this. Nobody was. That is a fact. It is also a fact that I had never seen anything like this before in my 15+ years with the Arabian horse. I haven't seen anything like this since then either. I am a third gen. equestrian to boot, and even my grandma hadn't seen anything quite like this before when I showed her the video. Someone mentioned that this happens with the gaited horses all the time. I can't speak for them, but Arabians are NOT gaited. Don't confuse Arabs with those that use the horrific practices found in gaited horse showing. The first horse panicked due to a beehive found near the entrance. The horse was stung multiple times on the belly, thus causing the initial spook. The people in the arena were stunned at what was happening and were trying to keep the horse on the rail, away from the rest of the horses. Horses are herd animals. The spooked horse wanted to join those in the center, thus why the handlers were yelling and waving their arms. Unfortunately, the horse was so panicked that it was still trying to get to the other horses, thus causing that domino effect. People, there was no 'calming' the horses in this situation. They were scared, in a big echoing arena, and something was chasing them. They wanted to be with their buddies in the center of the arena, but in doing so, they would only slam their carts into the other horses. That being said, could this have been handled better? Yes. Of course, it could have. But there is a saying, 'hindsight is 20/20'. They were acting in the moment, and as I have already pointed out, this was not something that any of them had ever seen before or could have predicted would happen. How do you prepare for something that you never expect to happen? On a final note, I have nothing to say for the shrieking audience. They really should have shut up. I hope this clears a few things up.

The moment the first horse freaked out they should have removed all other horses and people from the ring and let the horse run itself out. Especially as the silly creatures seem to have a habit of careening into each other, most likely caused by the limits that blinders place on their vision.

@@brendaclark3085 Your comment is contradictory and non-sensical. So, let's look at this from a 'money' perspective. Attempting to stop a panicking horse, especially one with blinders has a high probability of resulting in human injury, especially if the horse runs over someone, which one did. So that's doctor and/or funeral bills. Not removing all other horses from the ring means that the Panicking horse will do exactly as shown in the video and cause more horses to panic by running into them. So now, not only is there the issue of one expensive horse fatally injuring itself, but several. Panicking horses with blinders constantly careen into into other objects, so in not removing all other horses from the ring, they leave objects for the panicking horse to crash into, leading to more injury not only to the original Panicking horse, but to the other horses and people. So, if they had removed all other horses from the ring immediately, only one horse would have been panicing, and there would have been less for it to crash into and injure itself on. If they had allowed it to run itself out instead of attempting to grab it the horse would have eventually calmed down and stopped. Due to the blinders the horse could not see what was grabbing at it only that something was and that is why it kept running, because the people attempting to catch it kept on sending it into higher levels of panic. The reason the horse paniced so much was because it couldn't see. It was running from the unknown. Had it not had blinders, firstly, it would not have kept on running into everything and injuring itself, and secondly, after it realised there was nothing after it, it would have calmed down albeit slowly. Also, in case you didn't notice, the horse that went down at the end was not the original runner, but the 3rd or 4th. Had all horses been removed from the ring at the start, the last would not have started to panic. Basically, everything I suggested *lowers* the probability of injury and therefore expenses, not only to the original Panicing horse, but to everything else in that ring. So which of us, exactly, lacks logic and understanding?

@@brendaclark3085 I am aware that the announcer eventually made the suggestion, but much would have been prevented had the call been made earlier. They would not have been able to evacuate the horses quickly, or all at once, however there is a window of time between the Panicking horse running past the gate and coming back around to the gate in which one could remove one, maybe two horses from the ring at a time. It would require some timing and care, but would be the best option. Leaving the horses within the ring presents more danger than getting them out safely.

What do horses do when they freak out? They run. I've had this happen myself, with a team of Belgian Draft horses and it wasn't even a freak out. When leading them through a gate one day (after unhitching them from a wagon), then stopping them while I closed the gate behind them, as we'd done many times, suddenly they took off, and ran around the circle of the pasture, three times at full speed. It was just like what was pictured here. Finally they got tired and slowed down enough I was able to get ahold of the reins again.

Not one driver had the presence of mind to drop the quick connect, leave the cart in the center and exit the arena with their horse, when this first started. All those coats flapping and towels but no one can figure out how to use a blindfold. The horses still under control could have been blinded and led to the gate as the run away went past. Not one single person has a sharp knife to cut away the harness? A harness can be repaired a broken leg can not. Chasing, flapping arms, all that was counter productive and served only to cause the original horse to come off the rail and hit more horses and vehicles. Just going to the center of the ring to allow the runaway to just run out of gas, and removing one horse at a time. This requires cool heads and a clear understanding of what a panicked horse will do.

Unfortunately not everyone could see this. At 1:13 that groom in the white hat should know it was safer out of the ring than in it and get the horse out the nearest gate. (this is called situational awareness) The runaway passes him again at 1:45 and he isn't 50 feet from a gate! How many wrecks have to happen before he catches his snap? A horse with blinders in a panic running like the hounds of hell are after him is not looking for a heard to join. Flight instinct has kicked in and until the adrenalin burns up a bit he's going to run. The clearly unsavvy people on the rail shooing the horse off the rail are to blame for about 60% of this nightmare. And the announcer waited WAY too long to order them out.

Not sure why this was recommended to me now, 10 years later, but as someone who rode and worked with Arabians, trying to grab that horse and yanking on it was the worst possible idea. It would have riled the horse further. The announcer was doing the best she could- get all of the calm horses in one spot and clear(a corner would have been preferable, but most were in the center already). Then my recommendation would have been: trainers form a barrier between the spooked horse and the others with arms out in a T pose like a fence, then let the spooked horse calm itself in the remainder of the arena. It may have taken a couple minutes, but it would have been fine. The horse was trying to bob and weave away from everyone trying to grab it, and in its' panicked and blindered state, that wasn't something it could do effectively, causing the crashing. And for the love of all things good in the world, people, please don't scream at an equestrian event when something goes wrong? Call for help, maybe, but screaming just scares the horses more! BUT REALLY, JUST LISTEN TO THE ANNOUNCER.

For those of you concerned about the horses, I found this elsewhere: chucksiemon 1 year ago All the horses were okay,,no serious injuries....actually the last horse running loose was National Champion Driving that same year.... 1 year ago That was Bob Hart - he tried to lasso the horse but missed. The horse went down when it tripped on the harness leathers hanging on the ground. Just happended to be at the same time.... I think it was fine - it was tangled in the harness which is why it fell down. I didn't hear of any horses having more than a few scratches. The first horse is Hizberry Best who I believe was 16 years old at the time and had competed for years and is well known for his good manners. They aren't sure what happened here, but this is a classic example of how even the most bombproof horse can spook. After this accident he was taken out of driving totally. This video was posted originally at ablackhorse and there is an explanation about it there.

That's good news! Saw this video for first time today and don't know where to start with my feelings. But first....what was with that guy w/the hat yanking on the reins?? Extremely obvious he's hurting the horse's mouth and the horse is rebelling. Also extremely obvious the guy is clueless about horses and doesn't know what he's doing. I hope the organizers/organization has learned to pull these accidents-going-to-happen-in-a-few-minutes out of the ring before disaster strikes. When the one horse runs through the other side of the ring center, some guy grabs the left rein which yanks the horse's head hard left but the horse is still running and right into another cart/rider/horse. If that horse had been left alone it probably would not have crashed, but since it was running blind it was bound to crash. Very few people in the ring have much horse experience, very obvious by their actions. You should not be in the ring if you don't have to be. What's with people sitting in lawn chairs in the center? I grew up out West with horses and had the help of my grandfather and dad learning about horses. So when I see urbanites mixed in with horses there's a 50-50 chance of a problem because they are clueless. If you're going to be around horses, spend the extra money to learn about horses from someone who knows what they are doing. You'll have a much more positive experience in the long run.

Correct me if I'm wrong because I've only been working with horses for a month but shouldn't you do what the announcer says and let the horse calm down/run out of steam on its own.

Yes it would have been best and safer for everyone if they moved out of the way, stayed calm and waited for the horse to stop on it's own.

I was just worried that when so much was in the horses way (buggies, humans, etc etc) that the horses were going to fall and break a leg. I hope that last horse was fine afterwards? The video didn't wait long enough to see it stand back up. Horses are such beautiful creatures.

Yes everyone should have stayed in the center instead of spread out like tat! The only reason the horse started running into the crowded center was to get away from the idiots trying to block it everywhere else! Let it run, calm himself down, then attempt to catch him. Every horse that was run over was run over because of the people trying to catch the terrified horse and scaring him more. Every person he dodged every person he ran over, every horse and cart he hit, sent him into a tailspin of more fear!

Shoelacy yep everyone should have stayed quiet, those in the ring should have moved to the center together, and let him run himself out. Those morons jumping out at him yelling and flailing their arms is what caused most of this chaos.

I could be wrong on this issue but it might help if the judging were done similar to Olympic equestrian competition. One at a time. The horse and driver get a set amount of time then out and the next horse and driver come in. Also, if a run away or panicked horse happens, have just one horse and rider who can assist in catching and regaining control.

Ahh found the first comment here with a smidgen of sense!! I’ve said for years that the risk assessment should advise that if one horse is in a panic then all others should be removed from their buggies and all taken out of the ring. An arena like this one is ideal as all “calm” horses can leave by one gate and the panicked horse guided to the opposite holding ring, much smaller and easier to catch there.

why people would think that moving to the outside of the arena, chasing the horses (most of whom have blinders), yelling and jumping and waving all about would help anything absolutely baffles me. if a horse spooks and you fall off, keep calm, move to the MIDDLE of the arena, and let the horse just run a bit. it'll only calm down if YOU calm down. i honestly don't understand how people think chasing it around while it's already frightened will help anything.

Once I saw a horse just start running & bucking at a horse show once; turns out it was reacting to a wasp stinging it.🤔➡️Just saw another commenter explain that that first horse was indeed stung by a wasp. Should always inspect rings & barns for wasps nests they are everywhere. This whole travesty could have been avoided if ring had been inspected & wasp nest gotten rid of before hand.

@@makaylam947 No, it's not to scare the animal, it's to get it to stop and think. We had a barrel horse that slipped and fell running to first barrel (him and the rider are fine.) He got up and ran the entire arena, scared at what had happened. Yes, you can let them run it out, but that can get dangerous. All it took for him to stop was someone literally threw a jacket in front of his face. It made him stop and they were able to grab him and calm him down. They do that for the horse to stop and calm down. The only problem with these driving horses where that they had the carts on them so they thought something was chasing them so it was harder for them to get out of their fight or flight response and realize their humans where there to keep them safe.

The judge was literally the only person who knew what the hell to do. If they didn’t have her that would be even more of a disaster then it already was. People SCREAMING all over the place is NOT going to resolve anything. Just let them run and they will run out of energy. Waving your hands at them and getting ran over by them is only going to spook them more. They should have brought all the other horses out while the first one spooked so he could just run out of energy and it wouldn’t be so traumatic.

A scared horse is a dangerous horse. These horses who are running out of control believe in their hearts they are running for their lives. When a horse is this scared they will run thru fences even over humans. They will do what ever it takes to get away from what they see a horrible danger. I couldn't believe these men trying to catch these horses. Again, when horses are in fear of their lives no one can catch them unless they allow themselves to be caught. What I see in this video is several running horses scared for their lives and several men trying to catch the scared horses. These horses are running over people and object which are directly in front of them because they can't see anything directly in front of them. This is just due to their normal anatomy. Then put blinders on the poor horse and they can't see to their sides. Normally a horse will tilt his head a little to the side to see anything in front of him. What I see in the video is one of the most dangerous situation a human can be in when it come to horses. How best to handle this situation was almost exactly what was done: have all the horses who are still under control come into the middle of the arena. Have the drivers get out of the carts and then unhook the horses from the carts. Then make a human chain around the horses and drivers but have the human chain talk loud enough for the out of control horses to hear them. This should help the horses know where the humans are. Normally horses do not want to run over humans or other horses. Now try to get the audience to be as silent as possible. Finally you just have to let these frightened horses run until they realize there is no danger. Unfortunately the horse may still injure themselves or have a stroke of a heart attack. All said I think all involved in this video did their best to keep everyone involved safe, including the poor horses.
