- Merida’s Horse Gets Caught in a Balloon at Disney World Magic Kingdom During Small Princess Parade. A toddler ran out into the parade route. The father grabbed the toddler to safety, but the balloon the toddler was carrying kept going into the route and spooked the horse. Both Merida and the horse were okay. I recorded this video myself and I own all rights to this video.

Disney needs to give those handlers a raise. Job well done
A raise, a bonus, grape soda, the works! Impressive most impressive!
How about the rest of the pandemic off.
They need to pay all of their performers better in general aren't they paid minimum wage
They treated the animal with love.. You are right
Dominic Conner ~ While we don’t make minimum wage, I appreciate your appreciation.
In the horse's defense, the balloon straight up came at it out of nowhere.
The guy in the white shirt and beige hat tossed the plastic piece at the end of the string at the horse's leg.
@@Pen_Pal_with_Sarah tbh i think it was a kid that did it and he was trying to stop it :/
Yeah it says it in the description
The horse can't be at fault of anything. It's just an animal
@@eve0nline03 wow rude
As an ex cast member, I do firmly believe child leashes are a fantastic idea for kids at Disney for safety. However, it doesn't appear that it would have done a thing in this situation. Kid accidentally let go of the balloon. Merida did a wonderful job staying on and dismounting when safe, the handlers did great soothing and handling Jacob the horse, and the parade team was on standby but not getting involved and adding more issues. Overall, it was handled exactly how I expect cm's to handle it, wonderfully.
do they lead the horses for the rider/cast safety even if they know how to ride? I notice there’s always a handler
Tbh i thought it was the dad who let the balloon go
So you worked for and with a bunch of pedophiles. Disney is disgusting.
I know this is like 11 months ago, but agreed, leash wouldn't have done a thing here. Balloons should always be tied down in some way though, even just to the kid's wrist or stroller (if they're that young) and that would have prevented this. The team did a great job!
@@TC-ep5hy agreed
To the lady who asked the child “ why are you crying for “ please educate yourself on how seriously fatal that could’ve ended for both horse and rider. I’m sure no apology would been made from her as she clearly thought it was fine. Two amazing staff on the ground keeping hold
Kudos
I feel bad for the kid. It clearly upset them seeing the horse get scared and the commotion after and the mom just dismissed them with ‘what’re you crying for?!’ Tell your kids everything is okay lady, reassure them, wtf.
Her kid started the whole freaking thing. Morons!!!!!!!!
Yeah, it was pretty obvious why she was crying. Pure arrogance from the parent there.
Karen’s will be Karen’s.
thanks for saying what I was thinking. She's crying because she is a tender child/human being with compassion...(for animals and people) and more brains than "mom" apparently to see this situation as potentially dangerous to horse and people.
You can tell Merida actually knew how to ride, props to Disney for not sticking an actress with no equestrian experience on a horse!
All performers go through two weeks of riding training with all types of scenarios that could happen on parade route if their characters ride horses and any type of November
@@Wheels518 that's good to hear! Props to all the CMs
@@Wheels518 That looks like *way* more than two weeks of riding experience - her hips stay glued to the horse during the bucks, she was ready to go up with the rear, and she doesn't crouch forward until she's looking for a chance to dismount (...looks like she's talking to the handlers on the ground..) and then times the dismount and is calmly down... That's the sort of comfort with bucking that usually takes a couple years and an experience with bucking to develop.
Im picturing how Gaston would handle this as he and Merida are the two characters riding a horse in the cavalcades.
Yup. I've been on a horse that spooked. It is scary. She kept her head, and her seat, and did what she had to. She took the first safe chance to dismount. Good call.
Props to everyone especially Merida’s wig the real mvp
Lol- also? I know the balloon was the catalyst for this whole shit show for poor Jacob (the horse) but we have to give props to how strong that freaking balloon is 😂
I was ready for it to fly off lolllll
lmao😂
I'M CACKLING THIS IS SO FUNNY
Cat Needham we do have to. even though their balloons deflate before you get to your hotel
Merida being an actually good rider and doing an emergency dismount at the appropriate time?! I'm kind of impressed!
This is an old comment, but what makes a dismount different from an emergency dismount? Just the fact that the horse is freaking out, or is it also a physically different technique?
@@homeiswonderland it is definitely different because you gotta find good timing and the way you go down is different as the horse is moving
Nornally you would dismount by putting all your weight on one leg stand on the stirrup and raising the other to go over the horse and to the ground.
If you imagine the movement, you can easily realize that doing that with a crazed horse could be extrememly dangerous as by moving he could simply throw off your balance and make you fall, maybe with one of your feet still stuck in the stirrup, and drag you around or kick you.
The emergency dismount is all about finding good timing, strongly holding onto the horse's maine with your hands and kind of leaning on him, letting go of your stirrups first to free your legs, and sliding down the side at the right moment.
great job on all the cast member parts including Merida keeping calm and getting the horse to relax they handled that situation like a pro
They are pros.
And this,my friends,is why the cast members say “Watch Your Children” to avoid stuff like this!!
If the dad hadn't been watching his kid, they would have made it all the way to the horse and may have ended up getting hurt. The balloon being released by the kid as the dad did his job and pulled them back was a byproduct, but he DID keep his kid away from the horse. It was definitely an unfortunate situation and I'm sad that it happened, but without having his kid on a leash (I have complicated feelings about child leashes), he did the best that could have been expected when his kid started dashing out into the street. The speed at which kids do such things means the dad WAS watching his kid, and showed admirable reflexes in preventing this from being worse.
Props go to all cast members involved in this situation (Merida, the horse handlers, and that manager, even the stage hand who followed Merida offstage to make sure she was okay). This could have ended VERY badly and instead only resulted in some frayed nerves. These cast members turned an unfortunate situation into a minor hiccup instead of the disaster that it could have ended up as.
My only qualm is the mom who asks her kid why she's crying. BECAUSE THERE'S A HORSE IN DISTRESS AND SHE KNOWS IT AND IS PROBABLY A BIT SCARED. I would have cried too, at her age. You can't hold kids to the "hold it in" standard that adults hold themselves to. She "Let It Go" and let her feelings show. This is something that should not result in the kid being chastised.
Let the kid who tried to run out to Merida know that there are times that you cannot just run out into a performance, but also kids who react to what they see (especially in such unprecedented times where kids are trying to process a LOT of bad news) shouldn't be chastised for showing emotion.
Dude same! They say it every time on rides and shows! And on the shuttles!
Looks like the dumb guy in the video slid it towards the horse.
Parents can watch their kids as much as possible but it takes one second for something to happen. Luckily there wasn’t any kids involved.
Shit happens relax Jesus I’m sure those workers know it was a pure accident.
Poor horse. She was just frightened by the balloon. I hope she’s alright. This is why you tie the balloon to your child’s wrist! That’s like balloon parenting 101 😂
Exactly just for the fact they cost 20$ and something like this
Right?! 😂 Accidents happen but yes tie to stroller, kids wrist, back pack, anything works lol
Me too.
Freak accident, don't act like you've never made a mistake.
Ryan Stannard exactly you guys want the stuff so Disney sells it the best respected follow the rules control your kids accident or not even if you have to hold the balloon for a bit that a parents job
All the cast members who were in this situation deserve a raise. They handled this perfectly.
I like how they handled the situation well, especially the person playing Merida, she is very skilled at emergency dismounts, but anyways, I like how they did not hurt the horse but gained its trust to say "Its alright, you'll be fine." its very happy seeing people not straight up discipline the animal because of something that startled it. What most people dont understand is that horses are pray animals and were evolved to be so. :)
The balloon represents 2020, the horse represents us , the handlers are 2021
Prayerfully lol because I’m hoping next year is like that
Hidden meaning than a hidden Mickey 😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Lmao
Well stated, Bigbird420. Well stated.
Your reply WINS the internet today.
She jumped out very skillfully and gracefully. So glad everything was under control.
Called a emergency dismount in the equestrian world (: they’re super handy
why am i seeing you everywhere
Your everywhere
omg you everywhere is this like MUSIKENNA and JUSTINY AND LITTLE KING RYAN AND cRaZy FoR mYsElF IN ONE ACCOUNT??

Poor thing was probably spooked. You should never approach an animal from behind for this exact reason, they will freak out. When he felt something wrap around his back legs, it triggered a natural instinct to buck it away. Merida did a fantastic job reigning Jacob in, as well as the cast by her side for calming Jacob down. Good work all around by the cast and crew!
Prey response to predators. Simple as that. The sensation that something's trying to take it down from the rear...doesn't even matter if it's light (balloon weight!) pressure.
FANTASTIC handling by the horse leaders, and credit to 'Merida" who's riding skill enabled her to stay on long enough to dismount safely! And that horse is a gem - it's somewhat minor reaction for a flight animal, and its quickness to calm down and trust its handlers despite this unknown ferocious creature attacking its hind leg, is amazing.
This Clydesdales name is Jacob and is gentle as lamb . He is always used as Merida's horse in the parades and for Disney Fairytale Weddings upon request .He was our carriage horse and follows commands very well. Thats how they calmed him down so quickly .
anne candreva how do you know
dancingangel95 read the description.
I wasn't sure if this was Jacob or not (after all, horses can look similar). In that case, no surprise. I've met this horse twice and he's been an absolute gentleman in the face of the endless insanity that is WDW (from a horse's perspective).
Yes this is Jacob! He came to Disney in 2008 as a colt after his mom abandoned him. We got to see him when he arrived and he was the cutest little guy. We go over to see hime every time we are in Disney and watched him grow up through the years. Now he is the tallest horse they have and he is absolutely stunning!
Maybe y'all should train bratty kids and their shitty parents .....it was that kid's fault.....
Merida grabbed the reigns with both hands even before the balloon touched the horse. She saw it coming and reacted so quickly. She's definitely skilled with horses.
Definitely Girl she rlly is from a movie , coming from an equestrian they handled this so well, u can tell the horse is treated well. And that they had a real rider riding and helping out. They calmed him amazingly!!
Yep, she shortened the reins as soon as he started to tense up.
I noticed that too! I'm glad they hired someone who actually knows how to properly ride
Yea she handled it pretty well
@@kenny6912 That's like 2 tons of horse. I would want an experienced rider, especially since you never know what crazy bullsh#t tourists are going to do.
Very good horsemanship by everyone involved, and I love how they calmed the horse down in a caring but safe way. I’ll bet they’ll be spending some more time desensitizing to this kind of thing.
YESS! SO GLAD to see how good they treated the horse trying to calm her down properly. Was afraid they’d get aggressive screaming and waving their arms around. Merida stayed calm too. They really could not have done it any better. Great job 👏
That would have only resulted in the opposite effect. So why would experienced handlers do that?
"What are you crying for!!". Lady, the little kid understandably got frightened by a big horse getting spooked and jumping around near her. Little girl was probably also afraid that Merida might get hurt. SMH
Exactly. This pissed me off so much.
For real...the audacity of the woman sayubg that to the child. In my mind, she would have gotten bibbidi-bobbidi-BOOPED in the face. Some adults can be so insensitive.
right like damn she was probably sorry
The mom is stupid and so is the dad he let go of the bullion near the poor horse I hope they are never ever allowed back
Was gonna say the same.
This video might have just convinced me that this girl is the real princess straight from the movie. That was Brave.
👏
👏
👏
👏
Was that a pun??
That’s nothing compared to what is equestrian go through we get bucked, trampled, thrown, bitten, crushed, stepped on and we still get back on she should not have gotten off she should be able to calm the horse down on her own no matter the situation if she knows how to ride but she doesnt
@@cheyenne6765 well she might not be as experienced as you she was extremely brave and she got off for her safety also it would be quite disturbing if she got bucked off and trampled on in front of all those children, she was very brave.
@@nikkibullas4884 she was not brace because there were two people holding the horse as if she was a beginner rider at a lesson going on a trail ride at a camp, honestly shame on them for not putting a actual rider on the horse
That girl has skills. Stayed glued to her seat, shifted her weight correctly and at the correct moments, timed her emergency dismount perfectly.
props to the actress for staying calm throughout this! this is why animals should not be used for entertainment.
Wow!! This could’ve gotten so much worse. Those are amazing employees. Handling the situation and taking control ❤️.
too bad they are severely underpaid.
@@ctraltdel3558 I saw a bunch of workers getting laid off now 😢
That was very dangerous for the horse and handlers. Not funny for those involved with the horse. Such a beautiful horse with lots of power.
@Desconocido I know right
Yes. A good trained horse can get scared too so they need people who can handle that
Merida jumped off like it was nothing. I'm impressed with the cm playing her obviously rides horses before.
i would believe they do put experienced riders on a live horse & they don't just put any cast member on a horse in a costume
Usually they don't have experience. Just the handlers
That is wrong. They do not have experience
The handlers helping at the end do as shown, but not performers
More like I’m outta here.
I'm glad the performer as Merida got off the horse before she was thrown off by the horse and had more serious injuries and thanks to the handlers for their quick reflexes into calming the horse.
Merida is still on Character after dismounting the horse. You can tell how well trained both the cast member and the princess characters are at any given situation.
As someone who grew up with horses- she handled that incredibly well! She is obviously a skilled equestrian.... and the real MVP was the wig!!!!! Haha
A skilled equestrian? Keeping your standards low on that department lol
@@jrmints80 Obviously not Grand Prix or Olympics level babes. Its just impressive that she didn't freak out and sat those bucks so gracefully.
@@jrmints80 i mean, she kept in that saddle really well. especially since she's on a fairly large horse.
@@pomegranatejuice5139 Also she is short, in a western saddle (tge stirrup leather cut is way too long for her) and barely a good grip in the stirrup.
Another reason why I highly dislike western tack.
@@simplypaul8681 I'm like _thee_ furthest thing from racist but be uneducated all you want 🙄
I'm impressed. The horse must be really well trained to calm down so quickly. Horses get spooked easily and when they do, they won't stay still for anybody. It's why, when a horse spooks themself in an arena, everybody just lets it run around the arena for a while to calm itself down before even attempting to approach it. The horse let the handlers stay near him, and calmed down in what, like 20 seconds? That's good training, and shows good trust between handler and horse. Elsewise that horse would have broken away from the handlers and run amock (nobody can control a giant horse like that if the horse doesn't want them to)
They did a great job of keeping control of a large powerful animal, keeping him turning in circles to keep him from deciding to take off running.
In my experience draft horses tend to be calmer and less high strung than light horses. Easier to calm down.
Disney actually has a rigorous training program for all horses that come to their ranch and will be used IN the parks. Tons of desensitization, tons of exposure to noises, people, etc.
In this situation you can see the horse brace his hind end to see if whatever was touching him would stop, when it didn’t that’s when his horse instinct of “get it away” kicked in, also doesn’t help he couldn’t see what was “attacking” him.
Props to the handlers and “Merida”, kept his feet moving in a circle to prevent a dead bolt down the slippery street, got him calm and all ended well.
ZERO PROPS to the parent who allowed their kid to let a damn balloon go.
Clydesdales are beautiful horses, but when spooked.. look out. Glad that Disney at least invested some thought into the people handling the lovely horse, and thank goodness the actress portraying Miranda knew what to do. I was 'oh dear', but she handled it pro style!
Especially with all that loud ass music. This is the main reason I don’t go to Disney. Their music is so loud you can’t even talk to people
Talk about YOU being in the right spot at the right time! This footage is pure gold!
Why am I tearing up, I want to soothe that horse so much. Poor thing
“wHat ARe YoU CRyIng FOr” Karen your child thought Merida was about to get hurt and it scared her. Learn some parenting skills.
Well... I think it's her sister..
Honestly!! Thank you, finally someone said it 👏😂
Her child sister whatever is part of thr family who let the balloon go.
I'm just saying that the girl may not know how to react and that's why she is so abrupt, since she is still a child...
@Shantal Blaze no... The fact is that I'm the horse..so...EAT COFFE AND BANANA 🍌
This is not a bad horse, its just a horse doing what comes naturally to him, do love draught horses❤, i think belle should ride Philippe and have a ride together with Merida and Angus
Omg thats an amazing idea 😌
@@ashleyisawesome28 ❤❤🐴
Hells yes
Ok but did you see the guy roll the thing with the balloon attached to it right to horses leg?
@@Finninlimbo yeah i did notice that
“What are you crying about?” The catchphrase of every parent at a Disney theme park
The horse behaved really well actually. That could have been so much worse. What a good boy.
if I were that kid, my Asian parents would've banned me from Disneyland LMAO
And buy all year homework
That too with a tight slap
Those Handlers deserve a raise for saving the situation.
Also Merida deserves a raise to for being able to handle the situation without breaking character.
She kept atop with bucking... most people topple alone on that one... definite raise for that girl. Though with Disney, doubt it.
No doubt about it, knowing how strict Disney is with actors needing to stay in character regardless of the situation
@@museluvr ONG the horse didn’t buck it was simply spooking and somewhat rearing, that’s nothing compared to what I’ve been through while actually riding a horse not just having two people lead me (I do barrel racing) I’ve been thrown into a fence I’ve been on a horse that has reared like fully reared, I’ve been on a horse that bucked, I’ve been knocked off of a horse a few times, I’ve been bitten by horses, I fell off a tall horse while leading a yearling
@@museluvr honestly she did nothing, she didn’t even try to help calm the horse Horses come first than people she should of tried calming the horse
@@cheyenne6765 lol what? She has to stay in character and it isn't her job. That's why the trainer's are there! -_-
I gotta give props to the staff and actress Merida for knowing how to stay calm and keeping the animal calm thank goodness no one got hurt and the horse is safe and didn’t get hurt but still poor horse just glad he’s okay . ❤
1. In all seriousness, I'm relieved the cast member and the horse weren't injured.
2. That mom is Totally becoming 2020 meme material.
LMAO!
Poor horse, so scared. Balloons are the devil.
For real, I hate balloons.
My horse would’ve reacted the same haha! he spooks at my own dog when she tries to lick his nose lol
Actually, it’s the irresponsible mother that is evil.
😂😂
@@shizukagozen777 you are not fun at parties are you?? No wait, sorry you're probably not invited to any.
This is such a good example of how to handle a situation like that. No screaming, no panicing. Obviously also a little bit of luck because the horses freak out wasn't too dramatic but the way they handled it probably prevented a much worse outcome
Can we give some love to the nearby Veterinarian who stepped in at the right moment? I'm so glad they had all of this under control with the right people who can handle the situation.
I applaud The person who is portrayed Merida for being graceful on getting out of a scary situation kudos to the handleers of the horse as well
Everyone who works at the D ranch are experienced with equine . They did an amazing job handling Jacob...... GREAT JOB
That is true but the balloon also has a weight so it doesn't fly away. I think the child was probably holding onto the weight.
I just LOVE how she performed that dismount, very safe and well done.
good on the employees aswell for calming him down in the best manner that they could.
And she was wearing that flowing costume when she dismounted!!! This was an accident that turned out well, there would have been a lot of injuries otherwise.
calming her down*
OMG that was stressful to watch. But major props to the rider and handlers for navigating the situation so well, keeping the horse and everyone safe.
Mom says to her kid, “what are you crying for?” . Maybe because she let go of a balloon that got tangled in a horses leg that caused him to buck and panic and possibly could have stumbled and thrown off its rider and then broken its leg and had to be shot to get put down.
Honestly, it’s impressive how little he reacted. The bigger draft breeds tend to be calmer and less reactive but still, he must have had some good training. Maybe they should do some more work with balloons, though, lol.
I don't think it's possible to completely train out the startle reaction when something literally wraps around its leg.
My horse would probably rear up or back up fast and run into the crowd
For the most part the horse handled it very well. Remember they’re fight or flight animals and it’s
their natural instinct. You can’t really train natural instinct out of the horse
@@kimj6369 hobbling is a perfect solution
Most horses get training with stuff they will and may encounter.
So if you have a parade horse you work them around banners and noises (like bands and random yelling) and even balloons. But like everyone said no matter how used to something a horse gets, a surprise is a surprise.
I don’t think that random woman knows how bad it could have gotten-
Seriously. With a different actress and different handlers....
@@someonesomewhere9115 cant read? He said the RANDOM lady...the idiot that ran in like shes a horse whisperer only to run away and almost trip over herself..
@@bobsaget9675
Actually I can. Maybe you can’t? I reiterated what this commenter said by pointing out that this situation could have been a lot worse with an inexperienced rider or inexperienced handlers.
@@bobsaget9675 I think she was a handler, she was wearing some kind of plastic tag around her neck.
By the looks of it, wasn't a random woman. She was keeping pace with the parade & watching the horse, second horse acted up she ran in, also didn't try to get the balloon while the horse was freaked out at the end, random person would've immediatly tried to get the balloon from the horses leg- woman knew the horse was spooked still & could kick, so she was waiting with a gentle touch to the flank. Body language is someone who seems to know the horse.
I love how the person who let go of the balloon didn’t even help or apologize. 🥴
1. If someone is inexperienced with horses he would only make it worse
2. They are professionals, they know what they are doing
3. The person who let go of the balloon was a toddler. How do you expect a toddler to help? 🥴
I remember riding my horse in parades and he was terrified of balloons. One floated under his belly that thankfully he never saw. Held my breath the whole time
Such a good horse. He's clearly spooked but trusted his handlers enough not to bolt. Such a very good boy
Not only big kudos to the rider for having a "velcro seat"/stayed with the horse very well until she could safely do an emergency dismount, but also BIG kudos to the walkers doing the right thing by calmly & quietly turning the horse until it settled (rather than jerk on the reins or hit the horse like soooo many people unfortunately do when a horse is scared, which only ever escalates the panic and often causes the horse to flip over backwards)!!! It's always a welcomed relief to see handlers/horsewomen/horsemen de-escalate a spooking horse with a soft and level headed presence to help guide the horse to calm down so they can help untangle it; and all without beating the horse for getting nervous over something. They deserve raises for sure!!!!🙌🐴👍
Yes! Agreed!
I was also positively surprised by the horse friendly handling of the two, they know how to act around horses. :)
My horse does things like that whenever she gets worked, I do tighten the reins and release when she stops
@@Faeyeful YES. YES AND YES! loooved to see it. There’s so much animal abuse and cruelty everywhere it just crushes me. So it made my soul happy for once, seeing how good they treated that big girl.
Yes. It honestly makes me teary-eyed seeing them handle that with care and consideration for the horse. I am so happy they didn't just hit the poor horse to make it obey them.
Came to the comments to find a "ThaTs HoRse ABuSe!!!" And I'm pleasantly surprised to see that there aren't any (at least at the top)
The rider is amazing, looks like she took some lessons and big praise to her (and the handlers!!!) For not freaking out.
The situation stayed under control.
The horse did amazing! Really well trained and desensitized, took the scary situation really well
She stayed on so well I can’t believe it!😂props to her for staying calm❤
I love how Merida fully prepared by holding the reins a little tighter because she saw the balloons wrapping around the legs a bit. She immediately prepared for this situation in just a second and she stayed in the saddle in a prefect way. She's truly a amazing princess with riding skills. Also, i love how calm the employees stayed with the horse and how carefully they tried to calm it down and protect the people around from any danger. It takes a lot of skill and strength to keep a horse that big calm and with you. I hate the woman asking the girl ''why are you crying?'' Like woman, there's a big horse nearby that's scared, a princess that might be in danger and a situation she wasn't expecting. What did you expect her to do? Laugh and be all okay even though it's happening right in front of her?
THIS!!!! You took the words right out my mouth.
I think it was that families balloon too, the little girl obviously has some emotion too her unlike the unbothered mom.
I think it was a balloon she was holding in addition to the other one, and felt guilty that it got away from her.
Hhahah wie der dud denkt sie wäre echt
@@mzrobbinzoriginalz7239 Exactly!! I was searching specifically for someone who realized that too lol

Me when I play DDR on the hardest setting
That mom or whoever being like "WHAT?! What are you cryin' for?" 😂
my favorite part is the lady that says “oh, really?” when the horse starts jumping as if she’s annoyed at it LMAO
The horse is not an “it” 😁
Elsa Moore when i said it i was referring to the event of the horse getting excited, not the horse
@@suzinarumi6260 the horse wasn’t exited it was scared bruh
sanne van baak excited doesn’t necessarily mean happy, it just means higher energy
It can be used as gender neutral when you can’t tell if the horse is male or female. It’s not disrespectful and the horse certainly doesn’t care.. and yes excited is used in the horse world sometimes when meaning a horse is not being calm. Not always in a happy way.
If the house could talk: "get it off get it off get it off get it off"
lol
🏠🤭
Yep! That's how I react to spiders!
HORSE
NOT HOUSE
1:02 it’s so sweet how the people comfort the horse, and the actress did the right thing dismounting before the situation got any worse.
You have to admit- Merida's seat was amazing
Also, I used to live in Orlando and would go to Disney a lot (knew lots of people that worked there). That lady bitching at the little girl for crying is, unfortunately, a very typical adult-child interaction at the theme parks. They get very short with the kids they're traveling with and it's really embarrassing to see them making hell out of what's supposed to be a good time.
what makes it worse is that she took the mask off just to yell at her kid
Man I was crying at this situation....and I’m a Disney loving, animal loving 44 year old!!
Yes it’s the classic: “This is the happiest place on Earth, so shut up!” If you haven’t done it, you haven’t taken your kids to Disney!
I took my son and his friend a few years ago. The families bickering is one of the main things that he remembers about the trip.
It’s unfortunate but its just normal family behavior. Believe it or not people get short tempered with their family members when they’re in hot humid conditions with packed crowds and hurting feet from waiting in lines all day. It’s expected, Disney’s not the most comfortable place but it’s definitely the most magical.
I love how they weren't afraid to get stomped or kicked, they just cared about calming the horse down so others wouldn't get hurt, give 👏them 👏a 👏 raise 👏
Edit: 2k likes? Thats amazing, thank yall so much 💕😭
It isn't funny to get kicked by a horse, so you shouldn't be afraid, but you should have respect....
@@paluca9859 I know, I own a horse myself and my uncle works with them, I know the force they have in their legs and the damage they can make. Thats why I think we should give them credit for managing the situation in such a way they dont demostrate they're scared because that would make the horse panic.
@@soft_bunnybun I have got horses too, and I think it was great from them but I just got kicked at riding in the countryside😒😂
I've been kicked by a shire. That shit hurts!
@@erintubb9860 I got kicked once (it was subtle tho) and got stomped on my feet twice lmao
That is a very good emergency dismount. Props to them for soothing the horse when it stopped instead of getting frustrated.
I'm happy she got off in time... And happy she's safe
The horse, the handlers, and the rider all handled themselves extremely well in this incident. The horse calmed down even with the "predator" still attached to his leg, listening to his handlers telling him it's OK. The rider did an awesome job of performing an emergency dismount in a long dress and jumping clear. Horses, regardless of size and presence, are big chickens. They run first, think later. It says a lot for this horse's training and his innate temperament that he did not drag the whole crew all the way to the stable area.
Everyone is still trying to make this year happen, but that balloon came in to remind you it’s cursed.
Is the balloon made in usa or you know who?
I hate balloons
Pat rice lol 😆
yolanda's lemon s it’s made in China 😂
The year is whatever you make it. Not everybody has to collectively feel the same way about something.
She jumped off so gracefully that it took me a minute to realize she had gotten off.
Kudos to the staff's professionalism & horsemanship!
Situation beautifully handled by the cast. "Merida" rode that beautifully, great seat. Kudos to the handlers who knew exactly what to do. Extra carrots for "Angus" who, though spooked, allowed himself to trust his handlers and didn't bolt.
bless angus, he was so scared. you can tell he was doing it out of genuine fear. was so glad to see the handlers patting him well done after he calmed down a little.
Imagine how embarrassed the person whose balloon caught must feel. Also Merida handled that real well and I like how they calmed the horse at the end ❤️
No, he threw the balloon anchor at the horse's leg on purpose.
They didn’t seem to remorseful. They just got pissed at their kid for crying instead. Complete Karen’s.
@@sharkstriker1 the girl asking her "why are u crying for?" Is the sister. The little girl's balloon was the one that went to the horse and she was crying cuz she felt it was her fault, also cuz it was her balloon.
@@mechelemede4579 yeah the dad threw the balloon. 😠
@@setofreakinkaiba8553
It says in the description;
A toddler ran out into the parade route. The father grabbed the toddler to safety, but the balloon the toddler was carrying kept going into the route and spooked the horse. Both Merida and the horse were okay. I recorded this video myself and I own all rights to this video.
Respect to all those employees. No panic from anyone. Immediate action. Very well done.
I am so glad this was so well handled. :0 No one got hurt and the horse calmed down. :D Very nice to see.
Poor Angus. People gotta hold their balloons better. I'm happy he's ok and I hope Merida is alright.
She certainly handled that situation like a champ. The attendants did a fabulous of handling Angus.
I guarantee you every single horse at Tri-Circle D will be getting a whole lot of desensitization with balloons after this.
People? You mean the three year old?
It looks like the dad or his kid threw it- it hits the ground and skids before getting caught, and a women with them goes “wow really?” as if she knew they did it
@@charliemacsart The dad wasn't holding onto the kid with a one ton horse passing by. The kid tried to run out to see Merida, dad grabbed the kid, but the kid let go of the balloon and momentum carried it forward. Hard to tell if the person saying 'wow, really' was mad at the dad for not watching the kid closely enough, or if they expected the horse to handle it better. Either way, you should make sure you're firmly holding your children when a draft horse walks by. It's asking for disaster if you're not.
That poor horse didn't know what the heck was on his foot. Props for getting such a huge animal calmed down!
Huge props to both cast members for calming the horse and Merida doing a perfect emergency landing and not falling
They actually handled this well i love how the actually knew what to do and how to calm a horse.
because you can see how much calmer the horse was a the end
And let's hear it for the Becca who took her mask off to yell at her kid for crying
I think that was an older sister
@@marissaoconnor7561 Yeah, I agree. I can see an older sister being that way.
ya what a joke poor kids sorry but I dont think kids should be at disney in florida right now anyways with the number climbing . they put their fingers in their mouths all the time . that kid will remember that about disney for the rest of her life .
I don't think you can understand what was going on with the two specifically it could have been something entirely different no need for the pointless words
OMG her name is totally Becca! Lol
U can tell the horse was trying to stay calm but was still very concerned if he was going to get hurt by what was on his legs as soon as he realized it won't hurt him he calmed down
So glad the riders at Disney have proper training as well as the horses! Major props to everyone handling this so well.
She stayed calm, kept her seat and then emergancy dismounted and avoided the rear. Also the handlers didn't freak out or further spook the horse. They calmed it down. Perfectly done!
Wow at least they made Merida a equestrian not just a random actress cause that could have ended badly if she wasnt
With all the other strict I wonder if the Merida’s have to pass a riding test or something. If not then what luck that they hired an equestrian.
@@someonesomewhere9115 yes they do. Along with the headless horseman
@@someonesomewhere9115 She *and* the handlers HAD TO know what they were doing for the sake of the crowd's safety. That horse had at least as much training as any big city mounted police horse. And instinct *still* took over when the balloon string wrapped around its hock. It could have bolted into the crowd in a blind panic. Kudos to the whole staff involved for keeping the animal, all of the actors, and the crowd safe! People, please remember, to keep common sense in mind when you are a bystander at parades! No matter how much training an animal has, self-preservation will take over and blind panic will cause a tragedy. Keep things like balloons, bubbles, and flashing lights out of the animals' sight!
@@meganfedor
I know that. That Merida clearly rides and what idiot would have inexperienced horse handlers handling horses in a parade? And the lack of concern from most of those bystanders was scary. People don’t tend to realize how dangerous horses are or how fast they can move when they want to. I was once with a group of new riders who were putting a horse back in his field and didn’t know why I told them to stop at the gate. They were shocked when a galloping horse came into view and at how quickly he was moving (I’d heard him coming, they didn’t know what a gallop sounds like).
Merida would of had to take at least 2-3 lessons before she would be allowed to be on that horse. I wouldn’t call her an equestrian but she definitely knew some stuff about being around horses so that’s good
The Disney staff and the actress playing Merida on the horse handled the entire situation admirably! I'm happy to see that neither the horse nor any of the people were injured. Disney should really give the actress and the handlers a bonus for calming a potentially dangerous situation.
That was a really good dismount on her part! That poor horse was so spooked. But at least they got him relaxed after a moment. It could've been way worse than him circling around. 💙
Merida be like:IMMA GET THE F OUTTA HERE-
Merida and the other cast members handled that like CHAMPS!!!
Hello
Wow. I do love how it was handled. They just held the horse and had them calm down. Great job by the CMs! I'm also glad that Merida hopped off and no one got hurt.
Hello how are you
What a amazing horse, even with the balloon around his foot it still stayed as calm as it could. I mean when you get something stuck to your foot ur first instinct is to kick it off. Glad they know how to treat a horse in this situation, this was handled so well.
I worked at dland with balloons. We were all taught to stay away from the horses. At least 10 feet. They get spooked by them. I’ve never seen it happen. I’m so glad everyone was okay.
"What are you crying for?!" First of all, Karen, no need to take off your mask while speaking. It's just fabric and not a sound barricade. Secondly please learn some basic skills in empathy. Your child is scared. Comfort and not yell at it. To be frightened by a gigantic horse going wild is a natural reaction and proof of their common sense.
I agree with your comment entirely, apart from the mask part; they do kinda muffle your speaking 😅
@@pobdog6385 well but certainly not enough to not hear her screaming. And in any other case just raise your voice a little bit and don't take it off. It's that easy. We're not supposed to touch our faces anyways so...
@@beamaria4273 The Karen here, is the one staring at you in the mirror... 🙃
And to get all offended about a piece of clothe being removed from one's face? Priceless. 🤣
Put a blanket over a speaker then try saying that fabric cant affect sound. Silly take
She was outside and speaking at a family member.... so I doubt it did harm. But yes, masks do muffle your voice. I have a slight hearing impairment, and although I'm 100% supportive of masking it does make it harder to understand someone
Merida handled that like a PRO as did the handlers! And I have to say, that is still a VERY WELL trained horse. It could have gotten REALLY BAD but he calmed down pretty quickly. I'm glad everyone is okay. A balloon caught on my foot would spook me too!!
Fascinating to watch how everyone else comes in to assist, most of whom were invisible until needed to work the issue.
Merida BRAVEly handled that horse! Well done! She must have trained well! Very in character, not shaken but concerned for the horse and the people around getting out of the way. go girl!
And situations like this are exactly what those handlers are for, great job!! And great job to the CM Merida for how she was able to ride and dismount to let the horse handlers calm it down. Well done.
That was a perfect display of horsemanship on all those employees parts. Including the rider. Props to disney for having people that actually knew how to handle and com the horse and for having an equestrian for the rider instead of someone that didn’t know how to ride. That was awesome! If I had been there I would have clapped.
Hello
She wasn't so BRAVE after that 🤣🤣🤣
What a nice scenario, and beautiful horse !!! ❤️
I love love love how the workers kept the horse in a small area and let it get it's spooks out instead of chasing the balloon around and causing more anxiety for the horse! Once the horse stopped moving, he was desensitized to the feeling of the balloon on his ankle so he was calmer. I also love how the workers pet the horse and soothed it instead of scolding it! Props to those Disney workers and Merida for handling the situation so nicely!
