As stated in the info box, all horses were able to get up and walk away under their own power… granted, that doesn’t say much for longterm ailments, but at least it’s something

The one at 1.32! It made me laugh so much! The rider stayed on the horse’s neck all the way to the bottom of the hill and then quite gently fell off into the water! I love the quote at the end! Great video. I hope nobody got hurt (horse’s included).

Indeed, getting hung-up is no joke.
Then again, notice that horse’s right rear leg is slightly trembling… it may have been somewhat bruised/injured, which probably contributed toward it staying put.

ahhhh, thats why i dont do cross country… god, those jumps can be so harmful, like at 1:47. the thing about the jumps is that they don’t knock over, so if you crash into them, you keep crashing over it, and a horse can easily break a leg going down the wrong way :-/

Because it’s a requirement of the course.
Sometimes it’s (slightly) deep, sometimes it’s not.

Why do they make the horses jump into the water? The water may be deep and the horse has no clue about it.
