Opposition Buzz rotational fall - Luhmühlen 2013

Nicola Wilson's 2012 Olympic partner Opposition Buzz in a dramatic rotational fall at Luhmühlen CCI4* (15 June)

Rotational falls are the worst type of falls any equestrian could have, it causes most riding deaths as the horse literally falls on top of you

[bestiehorse]

Bless him, such a good boy for trying to get over that boat after stumbling in the water. So glad they're both okay, it was a really nasty-looking fall.

[whatsuppup]

Ah I’m so glad both were able to promptly stand up after-

[addisonconte]

The girl new he wasn't ready and could barley make it over the first one so how would he jump over the second one?

RIP Opposition Buzz <3 there'll never be another horse quite like you, buddy <3 gallop in peace <3

[cleylaee]

such a sweet horse, made sure to stay there and let the rider get up before standing

[allisonwilliams]

It looks like a missing stride maybe? I may be wrong but glad they are ok!

[BlueHoofprints]

Guy in background sounds like Tom Felton

I am glad that both horse and rider are ok but I'm so glad that the horse did not break his leg, other wise, would have to be putting down. Because a horse is not like a human, a horse needs 4 legs To be alive

God dam I hope you are both ok- I just saw this lmao. I just had a horse accident where I was jumping and my horse fell down on the ground and rolled on me causing me to split my spleen and my shoulder was in massive pain. Just came out of hospital today! What did you both injure?

Did the vest not inflate until after she was crawling away from the horse? Lot of good that did her

[larnaandstar]

I feel more bad for the horse then the owner
When he fell (the horse) I was like omg is the horse ok and not thought about the person 😂😂

[belindastergaard]

Rotation falls almost everytime is the reason for killed equestrians if you look it up. I don't get, why these freaking obstacles cant go down, or move... its so dangerous! :-(

[Kavaind]

Why dont they tie the bar down wards, so that it falls vertically down instead of fouling the horses feet.

[jenellebe]

That poor horse... I hope he was OK after that...

[spunkycat]

Watch this is slow motion. Horse is struggling. Horses aren't made to do flips.

[flowerpower]

The horses are so exhausted its no wonder

[topequine]

Aww poor baby live the horse hope he. Alright x

[Evan-gl]

What is the point of doing this? And jumping in water wtf…

[spunkycat]

Whoever put that stupid course together needs to stop! This is horse abuse. That poor horse struggled so much. Let's put the designer of this course running thru a bunch of jumps and see how he feels. I BET they wouldn't make it so tricky. It's easy to sit atop a horse and say how easy stuff is but you aren't the one running and jumping. This is animal I was a veterinary technician in the Army for 5 years and worked at animal clinics after. When you have to euthanize a horse or large animal, you will have an ENTIRE different view on how animals are treated. Unless YOU are willing to RUN the actual course and jump it, don't force an animal to do it.
