Poor horse has done himself/herself no favours by being so willing. I do hope the rider, and I use the term loosley, hurts in all the places I would like to hurt him in.
Poor horse - what an honest animal. The idiot needs more than a few lessons.
I once did a similar thing on my dear Asters in a hunter trial. She rather over-jumped a 3'3" hunter trial jump - and I gather she cleared it by about 2'. The jump judge was my son's pony club instructor - and she said she couldn't see how I had managed to stay on - and I should be jumping the 5' course as Asters had so much scope.(they had several different courses at the Blue Anchor cross country venue) I did say that although Asters could have done a 5' course - there was no way I would have attempted it - as I would never have had the courage or ability to stay in the saddle.
Annette Lewis only threw her legs back on Tutein to avoid hitting the fences as he was so little, also he was a pba . This guy is only staying on through the grace of god! That horse is a saint!!
I remember Tutein and Annette well although I hadn't seen that round before! Didn't realise he was PBA - does anyone know his breeding as he is not on Allbreeds?
I don't think he had a 'pedigree' as such, just I remember an interview with Annette Lewis saying he was heavily arab bred, so I reckon not registered. Do you remember that amazing trot he had? I saw him live at Olympia I think it was and he came in the ring doing this amazing trot, almost taking his own teeth out!
Think I read it on another forum that the guy is supposed to be a polo rider??
I would love to give him a few lessons on how to jump a horse! Poor horse and lets just smack it about 10 mins after its refused the jump so that it understands what its being punished for...idiot!
What a fab little horse putting up with that. That man should be embarrassed!
Phew - that must give one a sinking feeling for a rein to go like that!

Yes, I seem to remember Tutein jumping off the top of the Derby bank. He does look quite Arab now I know but I hadn't realised it before. Lovely horse and an exciting ride I should think!
What an honest wee horse!
