@snappaloosa: Oh, I broke my back once parting ways with the saddle over a four-foot rail and landing sitting straight up.

Silly Quarterhorse just wasn't trying hard enough. Ask any Gawker editor: I'm hard to kill.

Can't we pay him to go back to Jolly Ole England and do this to his wife & in-laws?
They are quite useless and dieing while hunting would be such a proper way to go out.

Are the royals upset about the loss of life of the stains left on the turf?

Maybe he's just weeding out people who can't handle the stress of being an Olympian. Or being on an Olympian horse and than being thrown off.

The worst I've managed to do (so far) while jumping was to crash head-first through an oxer when the horse refused and break my collarbone. If I had been royalty, would I have gotten a free upgrade to snapped spinal cord?

@Sarcastro: El Ingenio De Medio Peligroso, though I think La Peligrosa Idiota (the dangerous idiot) has a nicer sound.

Please, think of the children before posting that snuff film.

Over 2,000 American children die a year from the combined threat of suffocation by drapery and falls from cute little rocking toys.

If I ever become one of those maskled Mexican wrestlers, I'm going to call myself the "halfwit menace." Can anyone translate that for me?

If this equine uprising continues, we two-leggers will crush it and teach the hoofed ones a new, and considerably less flattering, meaning of "hung like a horse."

I thought this was metaphorical and then I read it again - he's really killed three riders. Huh. I used to jump and never died. Maybe that's why I'm not an Olympian. Or, you know, dead.

I agree, horse-riding, like vodka-snorting and incest, is something that should be left to the Royals.
