Women's Race 2011 part 2 [02:42]
This is after the race. So I think what happend is after the race a few girls couldn't control their horses to stop them. One girl turned around and hit an on coming horse and rider. and a guy tried to stop them but got trampled. I know at least one girl was take to the hospital for a broken neck. The news paper said that one hore had a pintched nerve but it looked more like 2 broken front legs.

Horse racing oddity: maintenance crew nearly trampled [02:53]
Date: August 19, 2004 Track: Del Mar I'm happy to report no one was hurt. There are two parts to this video. First is a clip of the "head-on" camera shot, which clearly shows three maintenance workers diving as they realize the field is about to trample them. Notice the bucket that they leave on the course. The second part is the full race. At the 2:29 mark, you can see where the maintenance workers scramble, but it's not nearly as clear as the head-on shot. From Steve Andersen's report in the Daily Racing Form: "Three members of the Del Mar turf course staff nearly caused a catastrophic accident in the seventh race Thursday, when they were forced to scramble under the rail to avoid a field of seven horses while replacing divots on the turf course. "The three men dove under the inside rail just as the field turned for home and had so little time to react that they left a plastic bucket on the course, which the runners nearly struck. "The incident occurred with approximately a quarter-mile remaining in a race over 1 3/8 miles on turf. The three men walked onto the course and began working when the field passed the far turn for the first time. They were alerted of the oncoming field by the screams of the jockeys."

So you think you got riding figure out? [04:02]
This is for all the people out there who probably have never been near a horse in their entire lives but still feel they have the required knowledge to tell me that it isnt a sport, that it is girly and that only princess attitude little girls ride. I am sick and tired of it. first of all proper horsemanship involves getting extremely dirty, sweaty and smelly. second of all horses are a living creature therefore dangerous the same way a dog can bite and a cat can scratch a horse can kick, take off and trample regardless of whether you want it to happen or not. second of all riding is not a matter of sitting there and looking pretty, you have to work with the horse and perform a number of commands to guide the horse. you have to be quick and agile to respond to your horse in order to avoid accidents. the phrase ''a good rider falls off at least 7 times' is not there for show. it is because you do fall off, you do hurt yourself as the saying 'been there jumped that got the bruises to prove it' (printed on almost every horsey item ive seen) people get injured and some even die. i know people who have had broken arms and legs, even someone with a broken jaw. I myself have a broken nose, riped a muscle in my leg and a damaged back from being trampled on after a fall and being throw off into a gate (not the jump) If there are anymore question or doubt that horse riding is a dangerous sport and not for princess girly girls please post it in a comment and i will add it to this already long description.
