- EDIT: Good lord y'all. "Chaos" is being used sarcastically. Try to calm down.
Oct 26, 2011 - NAVONA GALLEGOS riding VATRICIA in the Adult Open Jumper short course falls, horse runs wild and free-jumps a water obstacle backwards.
The old man was my husband, Jay Shuttleworth, horseman, famous bit maker and love of my life. He had ridden every kind of horse good and bad his whole life, trained them, showed them, taught and later in life made custom bits for everyone, including the international teams - you can read articles about him if you look him up. I found this clip by accident - he had always been the one to throw himself into a dangerous situation to help with a horse and it lit my heart to see him still trying to do this just about a year before he had to stay home permanently because of early Alzheimers. I love that you all noticed him - thank you. Jay died in 2019.
My condolence your husband certainly showed his horsemanship skill's with his calm manner.
So sorry for your loss
He sounds like an amazing man. I'm sorry for your loss. 💗
Good bless Him❤
God Bless him 🙏🏻❤️
The old man absolutely saved the day.
Kaitlin Brooke your so right that’s what I was thinking?
how he did that
How old is he?
Yup, he knows horses alright. The fact that he reached first for the neck for example
Slow & steady!
For all angry that the horse could have gotten tangled- he was spooked! It isn't the rider's fault and it isn't the horse's fault. The horse tripped unexpectedly, the rider fell, the bridle came of and pony got spooked. So he ran. That's what horses do.
***** in which case was a fault of the course and not the rider
My horse does not he just stand there and look at me like I am a idiot
Emma Mathisen so does mine... But some don't 😂😂😂😂
My pony goes over to my trainer to tattle on me.😂
This is why they're called accidents because nobody is to blame. Could it have been prevented? Why sure it could have, just as most accidents could be avoided, if only,... you fill in whatever fits. Courses are meant to be tough and hard to navigate for the Open Jumper competitions. They test a riders skills and timing abilities to the max. A rider should know their surfaces in order to avoid such a spill, but then there are always those anyway. Always will be.
Horse: Don‘t panic, I got this! I will finish this round for you! *jumps and sees rider*
Wait, what are you doing on the ground?
Funny that was the only jump where the horse hit a bar. So I guess the rider is useful in completing a clean run.
Freacks
oh u play sso same
BAHAHAHHAHA-
Kind horse…
Bless the elderly man that helped with that gorgeous horse
Now that Old Man is a true horseman, can barely walk but rock solid qualmness.
My sentiments exactly. Gotta love that team though, and that dear old gentleman
That older gentleman is showing us how its done. The rider was having a very nice go prior to the mishap
What's qualmness lol
I agree. I had tears watching him. He goes to the horse's shoulder, not its head and you can bet he was talking to it a calming voice. And did anyone else notice how the horse jumped that jump far better without rider or bridle?
mark warnberg qualmness? That isn’t even a word you idiot. Just because you can walk up to a horse does not a horseman make. Get a clue.
Shame :/ She was having a beautiful round too. It could have been a lot worse though and it's just one of those things you have to move on from. I knew something was going to go wrong from the title but the round was going so well that I thought I had clicked on the wrong video. That was really unexpected and I hope she didn't take it too hard.
I know, I've never competed before, but it was looking good to me. It took a while for the 'chaos' to happen so I was wondering if something bad was going to happen or not or if it was just the horse's name!
Um. The title says it so...
@@cherryblossom801 The title doesn't understand the meaning of chaos! 😂😂😂
Yes I was trying to figure out which fence it would be since her round was going so well, then that unfortunate stumble happened. Anyone who actually rides knows stuff like this happens, generally when you least expect it :) It wasn't "chaos". The horse was pretty laid back even when dealing with the bridle. That's the only thing that gave me a few bad moments.
@@cherryblossom801 clickbait of course
I love how he gets his leads, circles before the gate and then poops😂
He was finishing his course, just like he knew how lol. Kind of brilliant really
it really is! its like so cute!!
agreed XD
AND does a jump😂!
thats all horses do is shit
Love that little old man. Calm and quiet. Glad horse and rider were fine.
The horse recognized the Senior gentle gentleman's energy as calm , assertive and kind. The seniors guiding the juniors. Beautiful example of love and compassion 🙏💜
Hello Lynn how’s the weather over there
Indeed
Ma compassione per che cosa ?
Such a beautiful round up until the trip. It happens. Glad it wasn't a major fall.
That elderly gentleman was such a calming presence to the horse. The rider appeared to be ok physically, thank goodness, and I hope the horse was, too.
This was handled extremely well, in my opinion. Everyone stayed quite and didn't try to stop the spooked horse, the let it run itself out, then, they calmly gathered it up. It's always nice to see people that understand horses and how to be responsible around them, if that hadn't been the case, the horse probably would've spooked more and gotten injured. Props to everyone there!
No offense but their are way to many uneducated people on this site. If anyone didn't already notice, I'm almost positive that this rider was using a hackamore, yes I've seen jumpers using them so don't say that they are either illegal or never used in this level of show jumping or sj in general. People saying that this horse spooked at something is completely false, it was a minor stumble and he got right back up and even proceded to jump another fence. And people who are commenting saying that the rider is an idiot for askin her horse to make that sharp of a turn is also false, in show jumping you need to make tight turns no matter what, and they get tighter and tighter as you proceed through the different levels. This horse was clearly capable of making that sharp of a turn, or else it would have been much more drastic if he wasn't. This is in no way chaos, nor a rider error, the horse stumbled and the rider fell off, and the horse even proceeded to jump another fence because he knows what his job is and enjoys it, or else he wouldn't have done what he did. It is no ones fault, it's simply and error and an accident, it happens.
AND ENJOYS IT! HOW IDIOTIC!!!yes I'm sure the horse ENJOYS all that pounding pressure on his front feet, OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
@@susanflowers7425 hunny. its a horse. theres a reason they use SAND AND SHOES in the show ring. a horse of this caliber, can have scope up to 2m. (if you even know what scope is?? considering you know n o t h i n g.)
And not to mention, the horse was free on his own and jumped the fence without being asked. hes fine.
It's the hunters I'm pretty sure can't use martingales
@@susanflowers7425 it's a freaking horse. They're built for that. Their hooves are shock absorbers. Moron🙄
Rip bridle
+JumpingAround omg hahaha ! the horse was like : I AM FREEEEE !!
liz goesviral the horse was more like "shit, was is this thing under me, chassing me". He was a littel bit in Panic. It's normal and good that nothing happend :)
Lol, that's what I was thinking
JumpingAround . You are right.
I am glad it was the briddle which died, not rider
I LOVE the old guy "catching" the horse! The horse probably thought yay- he's not scary
Why are people so concerned with how the word "Chaos" is used? Jeez, hold your horses (pun intended).
I know, right? Geeeeez.
I'm pretty sure words like "Chaos" are relative anyways. On the girl's point of view that was probably a huge event for her, so for something as simple as that to go wrong, must have been pretty chaotic. Nevertheless, there's no reason for people to be freaking out so much about it xD
Ranisimo I think it could be because the bridle came off. Because that can really hurt the horse
I thought at first Chaos was the horse's name.
Because saying things that are not true in your title are a form of dishonesty, and tacit acceptance of dishonesty as normal in social media ruining our politics, our economies, our health, our climate, and our lives.
I love horses so much ❤. Did I just see that horse take a jump by himself? What beautiful animals that they are! Nice to see everyone comforting the horse.
Hello Lassie how’s the weather over there
@@Animal_lover123-x7w Oh that’s okay the weather over here is okay so where are you from? I’m from Dallas Texas
@@Animal_lover123-x7w wow that’s really nice of you so where are you from?
@@Animal_lover123-x7w Oh that’s a nice place nice meeting you so how long have you been on UA-cam
I have watched this clip or video twice over again...I am glad the Horse & the ride is ok...it is amazing that my horses always stood there ground when I came off not once did they run off they always stood by me and nudged me to see if I was ok horses are such Spiritual and Loving
Hello Denise how’s the weather over there
Sad to see the fall, but I noticed that at 1:10 that the horse jumped a fence on its own - the horse appears to be very competitive.
It was good to see everyone wait for the horse to calm down and not chase it. Approaching calmly when it stopped, that was beautiful
LOL "Finally, I'm free!" Good for her getting right back up and to him.... but I LOVE the extremely old man who went right in to get him. GOT EM'! ;)
Hello Michelle how’s the weather over there
That lovely old man who got the horse💖
That sweet old man first out to try and catch the horse
I love the old man on the end of the video
Me too! That is the only reason I read any of these comments lol
ShilohSwifty same here :)
The horse must have known the old man. That's why he turned around and went to him. That shows respect and love on the horses part, and a gentle voice on the part of the old man. Love it.
Ines Aboal Barreiro Very touching. You can see how smart the horse is and how wonderful the connection with the man. Gives me faith in the human horse bond.
I think she's going to need a new bridle
That old guy
Kind, wise, old gentlemen have a calming affect on me too. Bless him
Goodness all the hateful comments. I just enjoyed seeing the horse jump so effortlessly and glad the rider wasn't injured. Thank you so much for sharing a precious part of your memories. A widow too. You were very generous. Thank you again and God bless you.
What an over achiever :) jumping on his own and showing off!
He did hit one of them down tho

That incredible old man taking matters into his own hands ♥️
I love how that horse jumped all by himself... this proves to people who think that horse jumping is abuse, that the horses actually like it... and will even do it on their own!!!😂 P.S those flying lead changes all by himself... OMG!!😍
Watched it 10 times in a row, still waiting for the "chaos" to happen. Looked like a normal day to me....
For everyone going on about this rider, can just point out a few things I noticed.
1. CONGRATULATIONS ON USING A HACKAMORE! BRAVO 👏 👏 👏
2. I don't see an issue with the bridle coming off 🤷♀️ If he did get his leg caught, it would break. And definitely less pain than what a bit would be imposing over the whole course.
3. She DID NOT pull it off his face! Yes she didn't let go of the reins straight away but sorry that's natural. We all try to save ourselves in the moment!
4. He shook it off the rest of the way. So do you know what that means? It has been put on CORRECTLY! Bridles/Hackamores are NOT ment to be on so tight that they don't come off. When they are to tight, that's when they restrict the horses natural movement to be able to do what they need. Especially in jumping.
Bloody good horse & Bloody great rider 🥰
I thought it looked likena hackamore but wasn't 100%. That horse must be amazing to do those jumps and tight turns in just a hackamore probably works more off leg and is really good at yielding to pressure.
That old man in the suit is at every freakin horsebshow
I’ve been to this show many times and the arena is so small with obviously terrible footing. It used to be used as a basketball court, hockey rink and concert venue also.
That’s not chaos, that’s just a typical horse reacting to something unexpected happening. He calmed down pretty quickly once he spotted someone to help him.
it was such a beautiful round until the slip happened
The old man could barley walk yet Comforted the horse. It show he is one kind and caring gentleman
Like if you agree
Well, I still rate the horse a perfect 10 for the performance. Exceptional. Truly exceptional.
you call that chaos? it was a horse fall with just a little run around, no chaos lol!
chaos is a word used a lot by equestrians in any situation causing distress, usually sarcastically.
get with the program! *joking*
"Chaos" ...no, could have been, everyone did their job...kudos
What a better response from the people here than those that I recently saw on a video showing a horse cart/carriage event. A horse got spooked and threw his cart driver and then crashed into people and horses, etc. but the people didn't remain calm and quiet like these folks. They were yelling and jumping in front of the horse, trying to grab the reigns and then that horse hit another horse which caused the second horse to be spooked and he started running and crashing into people and horses as well. Had the people remained calm like these people did, there probably wouldn't have been near the chaos and apparent injuries that actually occurred. It was pure mayhem and an embarrassment for people that claim to be "horse people".
That ring is so difficult to ride in. So small, even on a hunter. I can't even imagine on a jumper! Amazing over the jumps. So sad the horse slipped but glad they were both okay.
Hello Jennifer how’s the weather over there now
The horse jumped without a person clever horse
This shows that you always have to keep calm when handling horses, especially if you want things to end well.
Their movement is so free when they're amped up like that
lmao i love how when he finally stops he shits
The senior gentleman was a true Horse Whisper!
Jay confronted that horse with bravery. A good man!!!❤❤❤
RIP Bridle
I'm sorry but you must not be a horse person if you describe this as chaos. I can't tell you the amount of times this exact Situation happens in shows and lessons alike.... this kind of stuff happens to almost every rider
Well said
That horse has such heart. 💜🥰
Takes a fantastic senior citizen to catch him. How wonderful.
Awww poor horse, well.. I looked fun, but it sure wasn't for both the horse, and the rider.
I was so afraid the horse was going to be injured. I can't stand that. He just wanted to open up and run..❤️❤️❤️
The horse wasn't actually panicking, just irritated because of the bridle getting in the way. The best thing to do in a situation like this is to let the horse calm down and stop on its own so it doesn't actually get scared.
It was amazing the way he carried on jumping by himself! 😆
Props to the people for not chasing the horse and letting the horse figure things out and calm itself down.
is it me or is the arena a bit smaller than normal?
+ocean.beach.girl 5764 Sure looks that way to me, too.
seems pretty tiny for such high jumps
+ocean.beach.girl 5764
It's 85x250'.
Samantha B it looks rather small width wise
+ocean.beach.girl 5764
It's smaller than average, but not impossible to work with, these are upper level competitors so I personally would expect them to able to jump in any space, large or small, but that's just my opinion.
Such a perfect round too but am super glad the horse and rider came out perfectly fine. 😊
Someone who finally lets go of the reins. 🙌🏼👏🏼🙌🏼👏🏼good job. Also a stunning horse !!
The rider is like standing there looking at the horse jumping the fence like “uh this is a team sport. Last I checked I was supposed to be involved.” Before ppl start getting all mad, both rider and horse were clearly fine and yes, I realize that is was a hazardous situation that ended the best way possible.
I loved how smooth the rider was with her horse!
hardly chaos
What an amazing example of what you should do in a situation like this leave the horse alone to calm down then go ahead and approach it round of applause to these people 👏🏼👏🏼
It'a a natural thing to fall off every once in awhile. The horses hind quarters just buckled and followed by the rider.making my eyes widen slightly. I am glad your okay and I hope your horse is okay as well.
One of my horses named Silver was looking at Penny one of our schooling horses and Silver tripped. He went. down to floor and then got up. He arched his back and I went off breaking my wrist from impact. We were at the canter and so imagine not getting back on due to not knowing what is wrong. Then healing and getting back on to work on the canter when I was ready.
I would go then freeze up with eyes a little scared and stop breathing hence asking Silver to come back down to a trot. It took me 2 months of riding every day to finally be able to get into canter and push on!
Now Silver and I show in the ring with smiles on our faces. We are passionate about what we do and how we do the course.
Thanks for posting this Erin and I was directed to this video by a friend who was talking to me about horses and my fall. I was feeling stupid and how I fell off as my horse was almost up. My friend pulled out his phone and showed me your video just now. I then watched it again on my computer and am tying this now.
An excellent ride and I wish you and your cute horse best wishes! Hope Chaos is well and happy.
@Erin Stevenson
Everyone in this video handled this pretty well, especially the audience. Usually when chaos starts the audience gets riled up and loud and that just escalates the situation but besides the gasps here and there it wasn’t that bad, it could have definitely gone worse.
Hello Kerry how’s the weather over there
Hello Kerry how’s the weather over there
damn that horse is an amazing jumper, it’s such a shame the rider fell! both the rider and the horse had a very good performance until the horse tripped :( and bless the horse even jumped a fence on its own. you can really tell that both the horse and the rider love showjumping!
If that is your definition of chaos, you lead a very quiet life.
I luv how the horse stopped and pooed at the end 😂😂😆
Good work there old man :)
One of the reasons I don't like show jumping - at least tournament based; is that the obstacles are usually too high for the size of the horse. Also for this one.
The tendons are overstressed and here you can see very clearly how hard the horse touches down at the front.
Don't get me wrong: I often let my horse jump freely in the hall (just for the variety) but then with obstacles that go up to his chest at most.
I definitely agree there’s a limit for most horses! Mine is 4’5”, but I know my horses can handle it and I don’t jump them often (twice a week maximum). I do think that the FEI should maybe modify courses and checks on horses before shows to make sure the horse is in full top shape.
Good on the girl for getting back up when she fell!
Classic equestrian gets right back up
***** hahaha she means she didnt stay laying on the ground for 20 minutes having a winge about it
livelyfe4eva Right, I think equestrians are much tougher than say soccer players who I see rolling on the ground for so long lol
What a great round until it wasn't. Glad the horse and rider are ok. Beautiful mount - very graceful!
Horse: 'Take a dump. Eat some flowers. Oh, hi, who are you? Got a snack?' Horses, gotta love 'em. LOL!
What I noticed about the rider was her stiffness. We all know correcting unexpected movement is impossible when you're that rigid. Having a great connection gives that extra pinch of a second to make corrections. Just my quick observation. The elderly gentleman at the end was the best part of this video for me.
I did the jumping, made my circle & here’s the gate! Such a good boy!!
“All the way from Santa Fe, New Mexico.”
This Burquiño: 😍 Saweet!
I'm glad to see the old man step out and comfort the horse because not many people would do that people would just think "shit there is a horse running around in the arena🙄" which I know they already do cause I'm an equestrian but still this man had a completely different mind set and went I'm going to help this horse and take it back to the rider which I love about people. ❤️
This is actually what happens at most (if not every) USEF/FEI show when a rider makes an unscheduled dismount.
Basically, what happened:
The horse tripped on a tighter turn and fell, so did the rider. The horse then got up, the bridle tangled around his neck/leg, so he got spooked and started running around. Then the horse calmed down.
A horse, wearing a hackamore (no bit in his mouth), slipped and his hind legs went out from under him a little. It happens sometimes. Bridle comes over his ears when the ride fell forward. Horses run around quite often when their rider falls off. Bridle got tangled and broke. Horse free jumped. Not that hard to dissect here.
I don’t think she was using a bitless though
This is why it’s so important to hobble!
Outta everyone the old man was able to get the horse 👏👏👏
As soon as that man said “whooo” the horse stopped and went back to him. Neato.
Horse tripped on that hard turn the girl was trying to make, and got spooky with them reins around their legs, I thought that the horse would've tripped again. Good that they didn't trip on the reins. After the horse ran them self out, the old timer was that extra comfort for the horse, their ears really perked up when they saw him. Also, I think it was very good that the girl instinctively let go of the reins, since, well, if she DID hold on, she'd just hurt the horses mouth and probably make them more spooky. Up until the sharp turn, those 2 were a good team. But it'll be a good lesson for the girl. Taking too much a of a sharp turn like that can make your horse fall over. Best that she tries to not do that anymore.
Nice horse he calmed down and stopped after his initial fright
glad the rider and horse is okay, beautiful horse.
Wauw, well handled everyone! Because everbody stayed calm the horse was able to stop. Touching to see hè stopped for help, hè really trusted them. And well done old men!
Maybe the man was his owner. Once you work with HORSES you never forget.
Love that the horse went right up to the old man :)
Thumbs up for the old man I almost exploded
The horse thought to itself, I’m going to run this course by myself.
This is lovely. Rider in hackamore, bitless for the horse's comfort. Horse has minor freak out the runs to exit where lovely older dude calms and collects and all is well. Could some ground lessons in trust be of benefit? Heck yes, but for the most part this was just a slip and fall where the rider released the horse once fallen (could have done so quicker but fear-response is hard to combat) and horso quite happy to be caught. SETTLE DOWN
Them hunter jumper horses scare the shit out of me woo wee. Makes me nervous each time, definitely why my mom won’t let me be one lmao
Is that a hackamore?!?! I’m shaking
That's why nobody is screaming *ABUSE*
I don't think the situation could have been handled better honestly. The rider had a hackamore (not that they're that 1000000% better than bits bit still) and she had a very gentle hand it's unfortunate that the horse tripped but I'm glad everyones okay.
A life well lived helping others.
This horse sure jumps better without his load! 😂😂😂
Always more interesting to go straight to the comments section with horse videos because all the expert horse women like to give their reasoning to what just took place . They all seem to be experts on what a rider or horse did to create a situation . In reality most horse women should really just own a cat instead of a horse .
That literally the reason I watch those vids
