I remember when I was a lad, my sole reason for watching the Showjumping, was to laugh at these snooty equestrian types coming a cropper. Nice compilation and hilarious commentary.
Most regrettably, you no longer have to be an actual member of the posh and incredibly wealthy English aristocracy anymore, to possess a rather ridiculous double-barrelled name like Prior-Palmer. I understand that at least 20% of all English young newlyweds now combine their surnames and subsequently pass them onto any children that they may have.
Not only is it great anti-Oligarch humour, it also shows the cruelty meted out to the horses in that barbaric feudal "sport". The Class War is the only just war.
@Leona Bastet It seems you don't know what you are talking about yourself either: there are many, many documented cases of horses jumping out of fields over BIG fences and sadly, getting flattened by articulated lorries and the like.
@Leona Bastet I've made a living in/from the equine industry for a number of years: neither that, nor your lengthy diatribe, alters the fact that there are many documented cases of horses jumping over larger fences.

"Quite interesting, isn't it, to think what previous horses might have deposited in the water."
@Leona Bastet You seem upset.
@Leona Bastet You were talking about puerile comments?

0:30 Griff Rhys-Jones hating on hyphenated surnames
Brilliant. As good as it was then
"Yes...... she haaaaaaaz! Ha ha ha ha!"
This is so funny I can't stop laughing.
This looks more dangerous for a horse than racing-look at that jump at 0:20, the horse is coming off a huge decent right up to a big bloody log
And everyone loves being kicked in the shins too eh.
Class!😂👍👏
is this why lucinda prior-palmer changed her name to lucinda green? so that people wouldn't think it was her?
I like how the music in the beginning is basically Mozart's equivalent of a shitpost, making the satire even stronger.
Very nice falls :-)
Princess Anne's still falling off horses today.
Only ever felt any sympathy for the horses.

You don't know what oligarch means do you?

What silly creatures, little sense and all bred from a quite limited gene pool. And the horses are quite silly too!
Really funny commentary but I've had horse falls my whole life and this makes me cringe!!
Reverse snobbery masquerading as satirical humour.
And very funny it is too.
God help us!
Most wonderful and proper my dear Sir . Jolly good fun :)
