    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.

      Here we go...wondered when the animal cruelty bollox was going to surface. Jockeys know that if a horse won't go for one smack, it certainly won't go for two. Often, the whip is used to keep the horse balanced, or it's against their boot to keep the rhythm- the horse doesn't get unmercifully beaten when it's already trying it's best- the jockey knows if ever a horse came back with weals on it, not only would he have to face the vet and the stewards, but the wrath of the owner and trainer as well!. It is very unfortunate that Many Clouds died, and he gave everything he had, but to try and point the finger at the jockey for " whipping the horse furiously" is totally ludicrous, but at least it's a change from how cruel it is making them jump fences. Lastly, if you've got half a ton of horse, going at 30 mph, and he doesn't want to jump a fence- what is the ONLY outcome?

      Sorry in advance for the length of this, but....
      They most certainly did whip the horse. And yes, it does hurt. Controversial to popular belief, horses do not have thick skin. A horse's epidermis is actually as thin and thinner than a human's epidermis. Couple that with how many nerve endings are packed in there, noting the fact that they can feel a fly land on them, and you wind up with an animal that has very sensitive skin. A whip/crop is supposed to be used as a directional tool, as horses are the pressure and release type. And, they do feel the pain, even if they don't show it. They, as well as many other prey animals, have evolved to not show pain. Think about it. If you were a wild horse and looked to be injured or in pain, who would the predators go after?
      If you whip yourself and it hurts, it hurts the horse. There are actually quite a few studies about this. Once again, sorry for the length.

Horses show affection by grooming around the withers so scratching there would be much nicer. But I think at that point after a race the reward is being allowed to slow down and it being over!

      Nathalie Swahn they do love it. The jockey is just trying to ensure that the horse is going as fast as he can. This is not a fear tactic, the horses are usually trained to respond to these cues, like clicking to make a horse go faster and squeezing with you legs to encourage them to go faster. Jockeys can’t squeeze the horse with their legs, so they use their voice. They also wave the crop beside the horse’s face, as they’re only allowed to hit the horse a certain number of times

      Yes, but thankfully these last few years there has been hardly any losses to the grand national. The jumps get less harsh every year, taking into consideration where the horses make faults so that they can improve their time on the track. I don't know if you have ever watched secretariat, but that just shows how much some horses love what they do.
      Horses are lots more sturdy than humans and although some of the falls do look nasty, they get up hardly without a scratch in the grand national. I agree its awful to look at, but the chances of severe injury lately is not very high. Hope you can watch it this year without feeling too bad :)
