She looks a little worried. As she should.
And then she learned to fly!
been there, done that. it sucks!
That horse is going to hurt. I don’t really care about the dumb lady though.
LOL. SHE’S ABOUT TO GET A SERIOUS CONCUSSION. LOOK AT THE LOOK ON HER FACE. SHE’S ALL LIKE, AHHH!!!!
NO, SHE’S LOOKING DOWN. SHE DOESN’T EVEN CARE.
OMG, I TYPE IN ALL CAPS. THAT MAKES ME A WINNER LIKE YOU AMIRITE?
Well, that’s quite an interesting question. You see, I would normally at this point say “Caps fail”, and that you are a failer, not a fighter. But that would actually be a compliment – We are all failers here, and proud of it. That’s the point of the website.
So the answer is yes, typing in all caps makes you a winner. A complete and total winner. And you should be very ashamed of it.
lmao adam!! FAIL!!!
OMG, I laughed out loud at this one…and then I felt bad for the horse!
mee too!! but then i started laughing again !! pff!! hahahaaha lol !!
i didn’t understand this.
It looks like it already hit its teeth . . . poor horse! It’s going to need some definite bengay after all that.
That is what happened to Christopher Reeve.
Humor about dead people WIN
Why does it say “upcoming”? that’s a failing statment. This fail is definitely already in FULL process
Lol…either way, both horse AND lady are gonna lose a few teeth I think.
And I agree with #14 – “upcoming” = weak
Yeah, you two are right, it’s way beyond upcoming. And I feel sorry for teh horse, I hope the woman has serious injuries on the way.
I think this is def an “upcoming” fail — from what I’ve seen so far (disclaimer: I’m new to the wonderful world of FAILs), fail pix tend to be taken after the fact.
wHAT A PREDICAMENT
@17: Ok I’ll agree that even more fail is coming up
I’m pretty sure that pic is from the Rolex KY 3 day event..that horse died and the girl is in a coma with pneumonia…kinda not funny
Its not Rolex. Because you read about a horse that fell and had to be put down at Rolex and saw a picture of a horse falling does not make them related. Learn the facts.
This is the the Rolex Ky and is really not funny. The horse had to be euthanised on the spot and the girl is still in a coma in the hospital . And that lady is not “dumb”…..she is a girl, a girl who is hurt badly. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.
You’re stupid. This is NOT Rolex. I have pictures of Rolex AND I have pictures of the accident and this isn’t it. Be even slightly informed before deciding that this definitely is Rolex. Damnit.
Obviously is not the Rolex – she’s inappropriately attired. If it had been Rolex, she’d be in a coat with her hair restrained, and wearing a certified helmet. BTW, the high rise in the background as well as the helmet would indicate non-US rider..
Making horses jump is retarted. They even kill the horses if they break their legs. Not because it wouldn’t heal but because they’d no longer be useful for horse races. Disgusting humans.
Actually, horses are built to jump and they LOVE it. They see a jump and their ears go forward, you can feel the surge of energy as they race towards the jump. Its their favorite thing.
Secondly, racing horses has nothing to do with jumping unless you’re talking about steeple chasing, which is a small and rare outcrop of racing largely practiced overseas.
Thirdly, no they wouldn’t heal. Humans can use crutches; horses cannot. A bad break that would need crutches with people would not heal on a horse because putting them on three legs for the six to twelve months needed for a spectacular break to heal is not feasible. It only makes the horse suffer interminably.
Last, there are millions of people on this earth who would give their lives and souls to save and help their horses. Don’t be so fast to judge.
Yeah, I bet this horse is lovin’ those jumps right now…
I agree. Many (not all) horses actually do love to jump. If they don’t want to, you really can’t make them. And most horses are not able to do jumps as high as the one in this pic. This is an advanced team, and I am betting the horse didn’t go over (he is really back on his haunches). The rider might even have stayed on or “just” have rolled off rather than somersaulting.
This is a stadium course which is why the jump is poles that come down which is a safety factor for both horse and rider. Eventing is solid jumps which can be deadly, especially if a horse or rider is “overfaced” (doing more than training or ability allow, as I would say was the case with poor Mr. Reeves). Because of the fatalities during eventing over the past few years, the rules are changing. Nobody who loves horses wants to hurt them (or ourselves). We do, however, want to be with them and enjoy a bond that is like no other (really, it is special).
Fail. Broken legs are very rare in horse jumping. They are commonplace in horse RACING. Two different things.
Anonymous comments tend to ruin this site… I get the feeling there’s like 1 dude who posts as anonymous throughout the whole site.
It’s not that they’re no longer useful for racing (they’d just sell it for money anyway) it’s the stress on the horse to heal a leg. horses can’t survive unless they can stand with full weight on at LEAST 3 legs. it’s necessary for bloodflow. Don’t call us discusting, we do what we can and more and more advanced research is being done to try to help these horse. Look at Barbaro (is that the right spelling?) they did what htye could and he just couldn’t survive it. Lighten up Anonymous!
poor horse!!!!!!!
horse r bred to run and jump. Horses in the wilde jump over logs and gallop up hills
i agree with Kit, the horses are put down so they dont suffer… so wud u rather see the horse in pain, rather than out of its misery???
i feel for that girl and horse
shes not wearing a REAL HELMET. No straps. theres the real fail!
That is the real fail, you’re right. Stupid hunter/jumper people.
and by the way this is NOT the Rolex competition, dummy. shes got her hair in a ponytail, no hunt coat, and a bridle without a browband.
the horses at the rolex that died were doing cross country not even this event
Thank you Dev, this is NOT Rolex. One of you guys just read the article about it and somehow assumed that any horse falling over any jump was happening at Rolex, which is infuriating.
1) This picture was taken before Rolex 2008 even happened.
2) The Rolex accident that left the horse euthanized was on the cross country course, not show jumping.
3) The horse who was put down at Rolex was black, and his rider infinitely different.
4) Rolex is in the rolling hills of Kentucky, and clearly there are skyscrapers in the back of this event.
5) I was at Rolex, saw the accident, and this isn’t it.
And finally.
6) This is NOT A BAD FALL. it is taken at a particularly spectacular instant, but the really bad falls happen much differently than this. I guarantee that both horse and rider were bruised and sore but otherwise unhurt.
If you want to take a stance against Eventing due to unsafe practices, at least do serious eventers the courtesy of understanding what the fuck you’re talking about or being vaguely informed.
Which event was this then? People keep telling us what it wasn’t – was this at an event? Something private? Plain old practice?
There are thousands of horse competitions held in the country each year, and more overseas, so I cannot tell you which event this is. I can only tell you definitively which event it isn’t when other people insisted that it was.
I have to agree with Emma, there’s no way to know. It’s obviously in an urban area, but, the fact that she doesn’t have a jacket on, or her hair up neatly, etc means that it wasn’t a very important event. It’s either one of thousands of minor show jumping shows, or simply practice.
All of you are so dumb. Horses love to jump. They love to run. The girl does have a strap under her chin, its tan, and her horse does have a browband, it blends in with the shading. This could’ve been a local event because her shirt is show attire. Her hair is right at the limit of being disqualified at local shows. I’ve done jumping, that high too. its not a funny thing for a horse and a person to make a mistake that could risk thier lives. And they also put horses down because the vets think that the horse could not live with a cast. In the movie Dreamer, they put the horse on a sling, wich a horse can not be in for more than a few hours before there circulation is cut off due to thier legs not moving. So HA to all of you that are dumb and clueless. HA!!!
ABOUT TO FAIL LOL
poor horse hope that bitch get what she deserves though.
lol, kinda looks like the boss form MGS3
unrelated o.O
but still, that’s gonna be sore.
NOMNOMNOM DELICIOUS POST
What really is happening in this picture is…
The jump isn’t as high as it appears. Teh horse and rider misqued and has pretty much run straight into the jump.
Horses do love to run and jump…even when casually riding a horse will still jump fallen trees, puddles of water or whatever they happen to come across.
I am willing to be that neither horse nor rider where injurred.
dumbies. if you have the urge to be outraged at a form of horse racing…dig into chariot racing and other simply pointless acts of animal cruelty
