Has anyone else seen this video of the horse jumping into the crowd at an Australian steeplechase? Good Heavens! Can you imagine being one of the spectators and suddenly a horse comes flying over a fence and onto you??!
I noticed that the announcer said the loose horse was being chased by the police (?) before he jumped over the fence. I also noticed that the horse could NOT see through the fence, and that it was a HIGH fence.
I feel so sorry for the people on the other side of that fence.
I really doubt that the horse would have jumped that high fence if he had seen that his landing was full of people.
Poor horse :( Its the only state in Australia that hasnt banned Steeplechasing. I dont see why they dont just ban it all together.
The horse crushed a young girl holding a baby - fortunately they were both ok - the little girl saved the babies life by throwing her own body over it and was trodden on, herself.
