Bucking bronco horse!

- How about this for horsemanship? Jockey Tom Greatrex readies himself for the ride aboard Blue Haze in a bumper race at Worcester in May 2016, and then this happens...
Ready to leave the parade ring and about to head out on course, Blue Haze decides to go all bucking bronco - and make the unsuspecting rider have to earn his fee! Despite the odds, conditional jockey Tom Greatrex rides the storm and manages to stay in the plate - and even dismount and head back to the stables with the horse, who was declared a non-runner and didn't take part in the race. Fair play, Tom!

My guess is most people won't be able to truly appreciate what a fantastic piece of riding this was! My hat is off to this jockey!
he was pulling on the reins/relyng on the reins too much, it is alg to pull on the reins as thts how to stop them but the way he has done it is pulling too hard and too far
My guess is that most people won’t be able to realise how abusive racing is!
Huge!!
i agree, no one can fight the strength of a horse, pulling on the bridle of a bucking horse can be fatal. got to let go and let horse ..
I’m just going to say this but if u watch the full video which is about 2 mins long, there was a loud boom/bang and that is what caused the horse to freak out. This was no one’s fault what to ever, wasn’t the horses, the handler, or the jockey. The jockey only did what he that he could do in that split second which was to pull back on the horse. I do agree that he could have pulled the horse in a circle, but sometimes us as humans, we only do one thing, and with the jockey he was thinking he had to get the horse to stop no matter what, yes he could have pulled the horse in a circle instead of pulling head on it’s mouth, but Yes it was “somewhat Horsemanship” but the many thing is that no one was hurt and that the horse was ok. Sometimes you have to do thing in order to keep yourself and other from get hurt and that includes the horse horse as well. It would have been horrible if the rider had gotten bucked off and badly hurt, and now you have a lose horse on the track with a lead road on, that if he stepped on it, it could cause him to trip and fall and maybe even break his leg. I think the jockey was looking at the WHOLE picture, for his safety and the horses
With the owners and trainers in the paddock it was much safer to take the horse out on to the course. There have been far too many examples where misbehaving horses having broken the paddock rails and injured the public.
There was not a boom
You cant ride a circle with horse broncing in a straight line The long reins and steady pull were exactly the right thing to do. Keeping that head UP at any cost with a steady pull on long rein was just right. Easy to be an armchair critic. Have you ever even been on a racing thoroughbred?? The power and agility and fitness level are way beyond any lesson pony or backyard horse.
@@lori5455 True I have been on a couple of very steady calm ex race horses long long time ago ..that would never do anything like this. But i have been on a couple of horses than would be cheeky ...i could sit out a couple of bucks without feeling it in my seat but nothing like this ...but this is on another level of horsemanship....its another level of human THIS GUY HAS NO STIRRUPS PEOPLE!
The Horse was bucking rearing and PLUNGING/DIVING!Horse wanted to rear and buck and DIVE/PLUNGE. A young horse had me off once when he plunged with his back arched UP strangely to avoid cantering round a corner. I BRUISED MY TAILBONE FROM THAT! PLUNGING IS LETHAL IMO...I hate plunging i would rather a horse buck than plunge any day! I had NEVER felt ANYTHING like that back arched up. Everything in my seat was gone! The horse that did it was a young Clydesdale called Noddy ...It took me AGES to get enough courage to ride him again. It feels like you are riding a cat on springs on a surf board.
Keep the Horses head up and Lean slightly back as this rider / jockey does - Experience Teaches.
When keeping the horses head up if your using a bit wouldn’t that hurt the horse?
Or is there a different way to keep the horses head up ?
Well no shit
Turn in a tiny circle? Cant buck when the head is bent🤷🏼♀️
@@katiebutland292 only issue with that is a fence and potentially risking an injury with loss of balance. I think he knew remaining call and letting his horse realize he's good was the best course of action
@@pebblekitty5740 yes it would hurt the horse, if the horse gets his head down though, you're gunna get thrown. This is the best way to nip this situation in the bud even though it is brutal. The thing is, prevention is better than cure. This horse only bucked because it was abused to begin with. Whole situation couldve been avoided without digging that piece of metal deep into the poor horse's mouth.
The commentator said it best “what a brilliant piece of horsemanship!”

No horsemanship in the racing industry lol

All this WITH NO STIRRUPS !! I would’ve been a gonner within a few seconds
Just a typical Musical nerd OMG same idk how he did it I rode a 17 hh horse and I Accidentally cantered with no stirrups but luckily she was calm and I stayed on sorry if it sounds like I’m bragging or something
He needed the length of his legs to cling on! Good thing his feet were not in hockey position (for racing)!
Me too!! I would be airborne!!
@Madeline Tramantano i dont support horse racing but for some horses riding is needed in order to keep them happy calm & healthy its a good source of exercise for some horses and u can really tell the difference in some
Seems no stirrups November paid off!
Amazing.
To those saying he should pull it in a circle, if he'd have sharply pulled the horse in a circle it wouldv'e very likely lost its balance and fallen over.
Well finally someone said it.
I was going to say the same thing. He has an amazing balance up there, but going straight forward is always easier than staying on a turning horse. No stirrups and just a little piece of leather between him and the horse, it would've been very unsafe for him to try and pull him in a circle, especially if the horse had tried to buck during the turn. A loose horse is extremely dangerous for himself and others, so not falling off is very important - he chose the right moment to jump off.
You spiral in a circle🤦🏼♀️
These English ppl are wildin
That’s called a one rein stop. I do it for my younger horses when I start them, it teaches them to stop from just one rein. It’s sort of an emergency stop for if one rein breaks off. It’ll spin him in circles till eventually he stops, he shouldn’t fall, or I’ve yet to have one just fall over from it even bucking. But this is coming from a western rider, so. What do I know lol xD Im not hear to argue I swear hah Every rider is different and honestly it didn’t look like he needed to do that he did amazing
His seatttttt😍😍
NO STIRRUPS!
@@silverkitty2503 he has stirrups
But he doesn't use them
Sydd Faith i knoww and he barely had a saddle, racing saddles are so small and not very supportive and especially without stirrups like omg
Rose Gray yeah i know jockeys have stirrups but he lost his
Nobody:
*Me running away from my instructor bc she wants to take my sturips away bc its no sturips november*
Truly amazing! It was a loud bang that scared the horse, the rider did it all correct, he sat, really SAT, and as soon as he had the opportunity he dismounted, and great speaker keeping calm too!🎀❤️
When the term "well sat" just doesn't quite cut it.. 🤣
I don't like races...but he was really amazing I mean he doesn't even had his stirrups on
He ditched the stirrups on purpose. No way he could have stayed on with his knees under his chin!
Had a similar situation happen once on a Gypsy Vanner. He was a lesson horse that my trainer said was "bombproof" 30 mins prior. He spooked because it was very windy outside that day even though I was in the indoor arena. He pretty much turned into a bucking bronco and even though it probably only lasted around 25 seconds, it felt like minutes. I remember just thinking as it happened, I really don't feel like getting thrown off today, and somehow I managed to ride it out. What I took away from that experience is no horse is "bombproof" and don't panic.
Wow well handled! I was riding a horse that just started bolting randomly, and everyone told me I sat well, BUT WOW! He did great!
rode well... people don't c that side. kudos
Uhh no the horse was in pain and pulling as hard as you can on the but does NOT help you are so uneducated
Everett Young lol you do it then
There's a reason the horse freaked out so much :)
Kano Gibson yeah! there’s a full clip where there’s a super loud boom that spooked the horse and the flight instinct kicked in
Everett Young The horse was not in pain also have you ridden a horse? If you don't pull on the reins hard enough the horse will not stop and will keep going like its running a race.
Excellent horsemanship most people don't realise how well trained and experienced jockeys are. Good that both didn't get injured.
Well sat and well rode!
Lily Dogelake you starstable player!!! Your dumb can’t you see the pain
Brooke .Equus.Trian ?? That makes no sense
@@brookeraquel2151 he put himself first. In that situation, it was the correct thing to do. To ride a horse, you apply pressure and release when the correct thing is done. This follows that pattern.
Hannah Heal in this situation, the "rider" better let go off the reins et try to sit properly to calm down his foal. I'm sorry, but pulling on the reins is not always the solution, and here, the "rider" should have calm his 3 years old foal in another way, because this one is cruel, especially when it's a baby like this one.
brooke raquel he isn’t in pain educate yourself! Your the dumb one here!
My horse done that when I was having a lesson on him and he just galloped for like 10mins
I got bucked off today:(
Weeeeeee 😂
@@MsVanorak yea u have to keep relaxed
OMG SAME!!!
I would shit myself. I can’t post yet lmaoooo
Amazing seat. With bareback riding, you wrap your lower legs around the horse's rib cage and have your upper leg and pelvis moving with the seat. In a buck and bolt situation, you lean back, keep the horse's head up and ride it out. When the horse slows, you get off and calm the horse, then when it is calm, get back on and ride home. You DON'T STAY ON when it slows, you reward this behaviour (slowing);by getting off. Besides which, if you stay on, horse is probably going to go into round two in a few seconds. Get off in the lull, regain control of your mount, and go from there. He did everything right and prevented a very bad situation. BTW, I break horses as a hobby and have been riding off track racehorses since I was 15 years old and I'm now 45. Before you reply some bullshit comment, you need to think what it might be like to ride a horse that's not a perfect little Pony Club Schoolmaster.
He really did super well and kept his cool, know how it is working with racing horses, not fun sitting on the back of them when they bolt, so he was super lucky. To us it looks like it is almost slow motion but you brain is just racing to get things under control. These horses are pure power and so unpredictable. He did so well. So happy for him getting off that horse undamaged. x
Janet omg that was amazing he knew how to handle the horse. I'm so glad the horse and jockey are save it could've turned out different.!!;)
Well done to him! I ride horses and i see how well he did! AND no stirrups?! I would have been on the ground.
I’m an ex jockey that was unbelievably good.
What an amazing rider!!
And something one learns from all these kinds of videos: CZcams commenters are ALL top experts on riding, especially riding the horse that's featured in the video.
And no stirrups too! Amazingly ridden.
No stirrups would probably be better for sitting that than jockey length stirrups, tbh.
Jennifer R. Povey Haha, you have a point!
flatbread emporium not well ridden AT ALL he is pulling on the bit!!
flatbread emporium he was using the bit and reins to stay on
Horse_Lover_22 22 you play with plastic horses and film it! Horsemanship is not star stable. Come back when you have ridden a few times instead of watched Raleigh.
This is best example of chestnutness
NO stirrups! amazing. I wouldn't have pulled him in a tight circle but then it gives the horse an opportunity to swing out shoulder in and probably unseat the jockey. He did well to keep the horse as straight as he could while being calm.
I don’t really support racing but the jockey handled the situation so well! Amazing, I would be on the ground within a few seconds 😅
A horse i was riding did this once. He was not a Tb so results will vary.
Instead of stopping him I asked him to speed up. I really hustled him. When I asked him to slow down he did.
Turn the spook into work, make it your choice and take control of the situation not the horse.
Thank you for pointing this out... bringing a scared horse to work is the best solution so he focuses on something else than the reason he's scared
Nice staying on 😂👌
The announcer was sooooo impressed. I mean the jocky did good. But that horse wasn't even going crazy. I've seen em buck twice as hard. And fricking bulls! Ever been to a rodeo?! Those bad mamba jambas would throw you to the moon!!!
So yanking the horses face and head off is good? NO! Horse should have thrown the evil jockey off and then trampled the jockey.
I'll never know how they do it. Only rode a horse once at a fair, being walked slowly by a lady and I somehow still managed to fall off. She caught me, that was kinda half her job to catch falling kids, but like... This guy looks like he's magnetized to the saddle or something, just... Amazing
I love how he controlled the horse well however he was pulling on it's face a lot but it did slow down a bit and allowed him to get off and once he did he patted it and let the horse know it was ok
THERE WAS 0 CONTROLL
@@baileyslife6390 how the fuck do you expect him to control this situation a horse has a mind it does what it likes its not a robot
BigBoiOlly and this is why he shouldn't be riding a foal. A horse is not a robot, you're right. So stop pulling on the bit in this type of situation, and let the horse calm down by itself for gods sake !
Not sure if I’m interpreting what your saying correctly but not only young horses buck. My 15 year old does this all the time
I'm so glad the way he handled this. He didn't tear on the horses mouth or cause it to panic more
Oh wow I decided to watch this with the idea that I would see someone flying off but well done to that dude for staying on. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Brilliant horsemanship
Brilliant peace of horsemanship my butt
i remember a horse doing this too me when i was in elementary school, the horse jump and make me fly away from the saddle then proceed to stares at me when i was down while crying lol this bring back memories
This jockey did wonderful
Wow just learned brilliant advice keep horses head up if it’s bucking to prevent big ones - woke 😳
@Emma Kolander Someone mentioned that the horse could have fallen over and lost its balance had he done that, although Im still a noob equestrian so I don't know the facts very well yet. What do you think?
If you renamed this a plunging horse you would get all the equestrians looking in awe.
Did anyone else realize he did that with no stirrups? 😂
There was probably a reason why the horse spooked. It was not the horses fault. But he did good staying on.
He’s terrified!!! This horse looks like 2 years old and probably hasn’t been trained well. Horses shouldn’t be broken in until they are 4 years old anyway
I know,I hate Racing.
Reminded of my past 😂 lolzzz that was great to watch.
Dang he did a good job with staying on, if that were me I would’ve gone flying over the horses head :0
To be honest the horse was probably remembering the way the rider whipped him rides before
You never turn a racehorse in a sharp circle. They can injure their fragile legs. He did the exact & most profession thing. He kept the horse STRAIGHT which is your safest option on a racetrack. Try to turn the horse sharp, he could hurt himself, try wide circles, you may both go through the rails & end up in the ditch, with a 1200lb equine athlete tangled in safety netting on top of you.
Sam Bur Their legs are fragile cause their babies and they should not be raising them and they’re all idiots in the racing industry this is disgusting and abusive
So pulling the horses mouth is the new horsemanship?
EXACTLY!!! like yanking on the bit is just gonna make it worse. idk who this guy thinks he is
Bella Evans lmao no, if you let the horse get it’s head down they can roach the back and twist and boom you have a serious injury and a loose and spooked horse that is a danger to itself and other horses.
Ellie Colangelo yes, of course. But rip out the horse's mouth is okay, especially when it's 2 years old, in a loud and full of people arena.
Sorry, but the more you pull on the rein, the more the horse is going to spook. I know it is a racehorse, but a horse will never ever galop as fast as they do in races, and if his "rider" knew how to stay on the horse, well he better let go of the reins a bit.
The only solution in this kind of moment is : fall down to let the horse calm down itself, which here, was not a good idea, OR the rider let go off the reins, sit properly, and try to stay calm, reassuring the horse. And it worked many times for me, and for a lot of people. It's the same with a little foal.
L'Univers de ma Pensée most racehorses don’t even start racing until they’re 3, a horse will not spook bc you are pulling on the reins, horses gallop quickly in their fields all the time and racehorses are bred to run, just as a horse bred for jumping will jump. the rider had no stirrups on a horse that is most likely tall and narrow and is currently taking off and bucking, he’s sitting up and back and keeping the head up and the horse actually calms down and stops running, he’s not seesawing the reins or trying to flip the horse.
@@liolikesgrass What are you talking about. If a horse takes of because it is afraid in most situation you are not letting the horse take off. Because if you do they will go full speed. Just watch videos with other race horses take off. They get bloody fast. And when they ghet headless they have no regards for stuff that is in theyre way. People includet. If a horse thakes off you have to catch it imediatly and not let the rains go. If you let them go that is a recepy for desaster.
This guy really knows horses!!!
He has done wonderfully and I can DEFINITELY agree with the guy talking that if you let the head of the horse go between their legs your gone . Because that happened to me it was kinda funny tho
WOW That was amazing.
Was für ein toller Reiter… Respekt❤
Es un verdadero artista se merece un like
He controlled his horse really well😇
give me his seat
Buy better the shorts for cyclists. It's comfortable and sexy too 😊
Slowly bend to a stop with one rein, guiding the horse in a smaller and smaller circle. Far more effective than two (flexion should be practiced ALOT at home first)

Excellent rider!
once on the course, an outrider pony may've been helpful...oh wait, that's right, European horses never misbehave or get spooked, except when they do, and there's no one mounted out there to help the jockeys get them safely stopped, or catch them if loose...just this morning 2 races at Strasbourg were delayed - one for a loose horse who ran around for several minutes, and was actually brought back, and made to race anyway - finishing almost last (shocking!), and another whose saddle slipped back till it was like a rodeo flank strap, poor thing was bucking to high heaven, with only a gate attendant to try to control him...horse even fell down, hard, onto his side during this, before they were able to get him stopped (and it seemed, for a bit, as if he wouldn't be scratched, either, as the saddle was reapplied, much to the commentator's horror)
lead & outrider ponies (& their riders) save lives, they should be as mandatory as the ambulances that follow the field
That poor girl must feel terrible. She lost control of that horse and was utterly helpless to regain it. That little jokey took control of that horse in the saddle and the second he jumped off. That poor girl should have never been put in that situation which was clearly beyond her ability.
this man can ride
Bloody hell what a rider!!!!
This horse wanted him to fall Down..That’s so obvious.
I dont know why there are so many comments saying that he shouldn’t have pulled the reins; let me ask you something: if you didn’t have a proper saddle and no stirrups with a wild horse (clearly too young and hasn’t been trained well or at all for that matter) how would you calm the horse and held on as much as this man did? This horse was far beyond calming or stopping, he made his mind and when a situation like that happens it’s almost impossible to do what this man did.
Such a good job, only a few people can do this.
Before you start saying stupid nonsense, please use your brains and whatever experience you ever had with a horse like this!
you don't know how old the horse was so stop saying it was too young
THE HORSE WANTED HIM TO FALL? YOU ARE ACTUALLY SO STUPID

It warmed my heart so much that rider didn't panic, he jump off The saddle when It was right moment and horse started to calm down. Horse just probably spooked the leash on him...

With all they put these horses through I'm surprised they don't put up a fight all the time. This sport wouldn't exist if horses weren't so good about taking abuse.
This horse just did this cause he was afraid of the racing box and he feared to go in. Easy Explanation 🤷♀️🤷♀️

Damn that jockey handled himself well
Brilliant horsemanship would have never got it that way to begin with.
He did pretty well riding through that. One rein stop
I trust the jockey received a decent sling after that. He should get an invite to the Mount Isa Rodeo. They are always on the lookout for international talent.
Never pull back on that bit. Bits hurt like hell especially being yanked.
He kept a good seat though.
He could have died if he’d have let that fit race horse bronk him off. Never let them get their head down. They’ll soon learn not to do it when they know all they’re gonna get is pain in their mouth
THANK you finnally a person who realizes the abuse
Julia Schoeman There’s no abuse
@@jessicamaijp totally agree. This behaviour is dangerous and needs to be corrected, the rider did well
He knows what to do!
Should have turned the horses head to his knee, he wouldn't have been able to do much but turn in circles then. For me and my horses I turn their heads to my knee as an emergency stop. Eventually they will stop. Also getting off at the end there no, he should have stayed on until the horse calmed down more. I get why he did it but should have stayed on a little longer. Dismounting too soon can teach a horse to buck to get the rider off. But yes good seat.
Shorty'sRemedy not everybody is perfect like you he didn't really have much time to react
don't stopracing I'm not perfect I just now how to avoid dangerous situations because I've been there and learned. If he's been riding for awhile he should know a few tricks by now. It comes with the territory so don't bitch at me. Trust me I've been in this guys situation and it was now fun. In my case my friends green horse spooked took off, torn the reins from my heads and went straight into a fence. The same horse did the same thing to another girl months before I rode and she went over the fence and shattered her collar bone. I busted a vertebra in my low back coming off bare back into a wood post ended up under my horse. Looking back now to my novice days I can clearly see what I could have done to prevent accidents like that. I have emergency stops on my horses because I let my neighbors and kids ride them. I don't want to be blamed for them getting seriously hurt and not even just that. I would feel insanely guilty if someone got hurt riding my horses. All I'm saying is that he could have done things a little differently to have a better out come. That's all I'm saying.
Shorty'sRemedy yes but have you ever ridden on a racing saddle?, because you have your knees up by your ears and riding one of the most unpredictable breeds you realised your mistakes after you had made them he probably did the same thing
Not trying to be rude, just trying to be funny. My baby girl can run straight bodied with her head bent all the way to the side. I have to bring her head up until she gets tired of her antics, usually only around 10 seconds of running off. Whips or kicking will get you thrown faster than anything, so I just sit there and talk to her until I convince her that my way is more comfortable. Then bring her back up to the arena. Lots of diplomacy.
Amber Blyledge that's what my youngster does he is now 7 and being a bit of a teenager so I just have to let him get on with bucking and sit Tal and then when he does calm down get his head up so he can't do it and he learns that it is much easier just to keep his head up rather than plunging it down
he should try keeping the rein lower while holting
I think he did quite good 😌
Omg... I can’t believe it. I’m reading these comments and no one is talking about how horse racing kills...
it’s rlly nice to see
Ellie Colangelo what’s really nice to see?
SOME people in the horse racing industry kill. Just because there are a handful of bad apples doesn’t make the rest of the bunch bad. There are a lot of people in horse racing that treat their horses fantastically.
