- This is the dramatic moment the horse pulling Princess Beatrice into Royal Ascot got spooked and threatened to bolt.
The princess was sat next to her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi when the horse bucked and pulled at the reins, veering off path and towards the central lawn.
Members of the crowd held their breath while the hora strained at the reins, threatening to jump or run off.
But "expert handling" by the rider kept the horse from bolting, while it was unclipped from the procession, and Princess Beatrice's carriage.
The incident happened on the final day of Ascot yesterday (18), and Beatrice was sat next to her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.
An onlooker said: "As they started disembarking, one of the horses quite violently freaked out.
"At one moment it looked like it was going to go into a barrier.
"It was only incredible horsemanship from the young lady on the horse that stopped it."

Rider did a great job reigning IN and staying ON the horse and kept her composure! I must say! Kudos to her!
That was very professionally handled by a classy team. Well done to the royal stables. Looks like those 2 horses will go back into training!
The guy who jumps in front of two panicking horses - kudos for guts that was going seriously awry at that point. Well sat and handled.
Well done by all. The people in the carriage stayed calm too. Very important.
Well the people in the carriage are the original horsy set😂
That was handled beautifully
STUNG BY BEES, that poor horse couldnt do very much!
Maybe something bit or stung the horse. Poor thing.....these guys did great calming the horse.
You can see the horse was bitten by something, watch the hooves just before they pull up
Drop the Riding crop
Are you sure ole Meganut wasn’t close by?? Just kidding
it was a very big load of horse dung they were pulling after all
Maybe a horsefly bite .lthey hurt.
Excell😢ent job of the rider keeping her seat!
I'm always impressed with the way the royal stable horses are cared for and understood. The staff are able to calm these horses and get them out of the public areas quickly so they don't hurt themselves or others.
You can tell that the horse got stung and when it bucked it’s leg went over the trace panicking it more. Well done to the royal service for containing a potentially dangerous situation!
Was thinking the same thing myself. Got the situation under control.
I have to agree, the horse was kicking its back legs like something was biting or buzzing around. Everyone did a marvellous job and the horse came away uninsured from the looks of it🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🇦🇺🇦🇺💙❤️
Calm clever grounds-men. And an amazing Gal !!
Beautifully ridden and handled. 👍❤️🇩🇰
Wonderful horses, wonderful riders and grooms.
Well done to all
she was incredible gentle with her horse!
You can SEE her stroking the horse's neck....awww! BUT she reigned in and stayed on that horse....so awesome!
What else could she have been in that situation that wouldn't have made it worse? No point in getting cross with an animal that is obviously well trained (or it wouldn't be used for noisy, crowded public events of this sort) but has been frightened by something unusual - possibly stung as someone else suggested.
Near Lead Horse (postillion) got a Hind Leg OVER the Trace. Great work by the grooms containing a potentially Dangerous situation. Possibly WHY there are postillion Riders instead of drivers.
EXACTLY....let the HORSES go FREE as they should with NO HUMAN on their backs.....! good comment!
The riders are tradition, and a good thing, too. Without the rider the horse could have fallen or injured the other horses. Well done, all round.
@@valnaples Horses would disappear. I guess that's what you want.
That's what I thought, a leg over.
The music matches perfectly what is going on, even when the fellow dropped the hats on the ground.
Looks like kicking at a fly bite which resulted in getting hind leg over the trace. Trace up under the belly and into the groin makes any horse kick to get rid of it.
Good people who handled well.
Jezdec,nesmirne odvazny.super spoluprace,diky moc❤❤❤
I don't know how many I have 👍, but, boy did I feel that right in the middle of my chest. Great job.
I noticed that Princess Beatrice was not in the carriage after the two horses were freed from the reins.
I wish the person recording had switched back to her getting out of the carriage to see the whole situation.
EXCELLENT HORSEMANSHIP! Rider managed to STAY ON the Horse! Which is the Idea,isn’t it?
Even the cameraman has to wear a top hat…
That’s scary
Very professional save by all concerned
Didn't see Beatrice in her carriage at all
wow ! I'm not knowledgeable about horses but can appreciate 🙏 their beauty, power and intelligence. Glad to read comments on this which said horse apparently got stung/bitten by something. ? No wonder it went crazy. When first saw video wondered why the only one with a rider went crazy (super visors gonna blame you. also cause you carrying 'roality')reality. I got even more concerned when camera close up shows that rider is a female so I'm thinking she really gonna get blamed, shit on by her 'employers '. Thanks to read the comments. THIS RIDER DID FANTASTIC JOB 👏- she somehow able to stay on and trying to deal with situation not knowing what issue with horse. Professional, well 👌 done my lady. ALSO ,seems other handlers around this carriage w 4 horses took action ,immediately and correctly . Well done 👏 everyone 👏 👍 is that horse 🐎 okay 👍
Why do you assume that she will get the blame just because she is a woman?
Are you implying that women are less good riders and horse handlers than men? Equine events are about the only ones where men and women compete on equal terms right up to and including the Olympics. There is no reason why the rider would get the blame for something like this, whether male or female. I'm sorry you live in a world where females are treated so unequally that you might think this.
The redcoats and rider are awesome
The people with the red coats on are called footmen.
unnessarry pomp for miner royals
Oh they dig for coal in the mines like my great grandfather in England? You said they are miner royals.
Stop using horses to pull wagons for entertainment! This is the 21st Century FFS!!! Sad
he didn't like the horse next to him, it happens
Great reflexes.
Maybe stung with a bee from the flowers?!
❤❤🎉🎉
Why don’t the just stop doing this it’s all so unnecessary !
the music change💀
Just a load of posh nonsense!!
And yet here you are watching it just to complain 🙄
The horse looks as thought its left back ankle is painful.
👍🐎👍
All these people do is party..party. I wish I could have seen those horses throw them off the carriage..I was rooting for the horses...
Eh, I don’t think the rider or the escorts where partying. They where doing their job ensuring that all the horses where safe.
People who wish ill on others be they pauper or prince karma will come calling on these.
Those horses probably live a better life than you, your bitterness is very jealous and ugly
That was 2 years ago. ??????
the horses went nuts after finding out they where about to pick up prince andrew
Hmm lame joke
That’s not a spook that is an equipment problem that was hurting the horse.
Don't ride around like a lemon in a carriage then!
The rider and on foot grooms handles these horses on the daily basis, and the harness on the outside horse (unsaddled) had moved over the rump and was in an uncomfortable position making him buck a bit and unsettling the mounted horse ending with the harnesses being removed.
I'm not sure this was the cause as we don't see where the ridden horse takes off, but if you go back to 0:37 just before the camera cuts away to the right, the ridden horse was already starting to buck but at this point the offside horse's harness is still in place. I suspect it was when the ridden horse bolted off to the left, that was when the harness was pulled over and aggravated the situation. What was impressive was how quickly that offside horse calmed down despite having been pulled around like that, and how he made no fuss about being unharnessed in a strange situation even though there were straps in places there shouldn't have been.
Horse won 🏆
Nothing to do with "winning" not everything in life is a battle. The horse was stung by an insect very clearly.
Even the animals are tired of all this protocols..
This is happening too much.
This is life if you work with and own horses, when unpredictable or frigtening things happen the horses natural response is flight. It's understanding this and how you deal with these situations which determines how good a horseman or woman you are. First class response by all involved.
Love the way the back 2 horses where backing up and causing resistance for the horse that wanted to take off. Bet that horse got the sack from Royal service.
A Horse de doesnt give a shit about being sacked by royalty, shut your gob their not servants
Highly unlikely. These horses are far too experienced and well trained to be rejected because of an unavoidable incident.
I wonder if the rider was pulling too hard on the bit. Horse didn't look spooked, the horse was bucking and in the short bit of time that you could see, it looked like the horse's mouth was open, trying to avoid (pain from) the bit. Unless it is just a "bad habit," that generally arises from the horse being bothered by the bit. Those are pretty strong bits (okay, not the worst, and at least the horses don't have their tongues tied and their mouths cinched shut). I'm just wondering, since there doesn't seem to be real reason for the horse to "spook."
The horse actually got it's hind leg over the trace, which freaked it out.
The rider did everything correctly in making sure the horse stayed put and didn't bolt forward.
You obviously don't know horses
The horse got stung causing it to kick then got its leg over the trace and panicking. Everyone did their job perfectly.
if you look at 0:37 you can see the first buck - until that point the horse had been perfectly calm.
Why do non-horsy people always think that the bits cause horses pain. If they did horses wouldn't willingly accept wearing them or work as well and as willingly as they do for humans. The whole point of a bit is to guide the horse not to act as a handle for the rider to hold on with or to torture the animal. The gentler the bit is the more willing the horse will be. In normal circumstances the signal to stop comes from the balance and position of the rider, backed up by their legs, not by hauling on the bit as if it is a car's handbrake.
Although is may look to you as if these ceremonial horses are wearing strong bits, both the front ones at least (and almost certainly all four) are being ridden/driven on a Liverpool driving bit, using a single rein and no curb chain. The rein is connected to the big ring at the bit giving minimum pressure to the mouth, especially in the hands of the experienced riders and drivers here. Even if the rein was connected to the bottom hole of the cheek piece, that would give leverage and some pressure behind the ears, not much extra pressure to the mouth and could not by any means be considered 'severe'
Posh people.They have no problem paying energy bills. They are supported by taxpayers.
whole cup of coffee per person per year.
The thing is that these horses all look scared. That is seen when physical abuse and punishment is used. There MUST be a trust with the horse and rider. I have seen many times where these royal horses are abused to make them obey.
And yes I do train horses as well as dogs. So I’m not saying this with no knowledge.
Much love from Kentucky, Lesley and Service Dog Jake.
His hind leg clearly got stuck or agitated rather than fear making him lash out
These horses do not look scared and the rider clearly showed that there is trust between them .
@@trishmcgarvie5053 do u have horses?? I do.
@@guardiansanimalrescuestate7289 I also have horses. And they do not look scared. The other three horses in the team were perfectly calm. A friend worked twenty years at the Royal Mews and I assure you horses are not abused.
@@Roheryn100 that’s great. I guess it’s hard to tell from a video.
He finally realized he was towing the 🫣one , poor horse
I doubt harry and meg were there.
