one of our own makes the big time! Thank the Lord for security cameras.
Glad you were OK @Jordan Budd but dang girl, that is funny stuff.

You are exactly right. Those static slams are the ones that hurt. Your right about the clean getaway too. Here’s a pic of my thigh from a not clean get away. Funny, the part that’s not busted up in the pic is a perfect young horse hoof shape Any other body part besides a thigh and a femur and that same stomp is a big problem!So my wife is a pro barrel racer (top 30 in the world from 2014-2017) and starts a lot of horses... I know this sight all too well and I know how those slams can hurt so much more than they look.
The main thing is the horse had a clean get away from you. The steps and kicks are normally what get you real hurt.
She just had me add 4” of sand to our round pen and I make her wear a helmet on the young ones these days. We have two young boys who need their Mom to stay alive!
Be safe!

Exactly! I don’t have a bruise yet but my right hip has been killing me because of it. Just a muscle bruised deal but damn!

Getting busted up is never fun. Comes with the territory I suppose, especially with the youngsters. Was that a colt in the video? I suppose I just assumed it was because of Robbie’s headline
He’s 3. Still a young one!

I’ve seen many a Hancock bred horse that acted exactly as you described. No fun, especially because they are usually pretty darn stout also.That hurts to watch. I enjoy riding young ones till they do that. At 42 it hurts a lot more than it used too. I rode a big gray hancock gelding that came out of that western Nebraska country. He was a cold backed sucker till he was almost 10
Just thought I’d comment to get this back to the top. I would hate for it to disappear into the archives
