I know people give Budweiser a hard time about the Clydesdales, but I've seen some of their facilities and talked to some of their handlers on a couple of occasions, and they really do care deeply for those horses and they are well taken care of. They're treated WAY better than the average high stakes race horse is, and have to do a lot less work and hard labor than a race horse. I think it was more the harness and yoke that was still on him that made it hard for him to get up as well as the stress of it. And it looked like his leg got pinched in some of the hitches, so his leg could be very sore as well. He's definitely breathing heavily, so no doubt stress is complicating it. Edit: fixed yoke for some grammar hammer on the Internet who felt the need to correct the autocorrect on my tablet.

First, thank you to the person from Model Horse Tack for posting this video. No personal commentary, no "jokes", or tacky music in the background. Really appreciate it. Second, I don't think I have ever been so emotionally invested in a YT video. The caption didn't prepare me for the angst as I saw the horses moving towards the accident, seeing the affected horses, the downed horse faltering, and then walking out of the ring...and the announcer was so great at not only calming the crowd but keeping me from flipping out. (Love the dalmatian who expressed his relief as they all left the ring -- I think we both started breathing again.) Finally, I have been a Budweiser Clydesdale Superbowl commercial fan for as long as I can remember. But this video has shown me how truly dedicated the support team is and, from the comments, how much they all mean to our communities.

I stopped the video because while I appreciate the care and professionalism I found myself in tears and anger. If you've never been to a performance like this, the arena is unbelievably small. They are accidents waiting to happen. Its the reason I stopped endurance trials of 50+ to 100 miles. I started feeling.... why?

Wow! Incredible teamwork! I managed a paint horse ranch for years. The owner was a wanna be cowboy, but a nice older retired guy who got himself into precarious positions with his horses. One day I was out running and I looked down the Valley and see a pregnant mare cast up against the pasture fence and flailing in a panic. I shouted and waved at the owner, a big man, who ambled towards the mare. I hopped a dozen fences and tore across the pasture ripping off my sweatshirt and sweat pants as I ran. The owner was very upset cause he didn't know what to do. I immediately covered the mares head and eyes with my sweatshirt, tying it down with the arms. I then had the owner talk calm to her and I ran off to fetch some soft ropes and a big easy gelding we had. I used my sweatpants to tie her front legs together like a hobble and made a rig tied to the gelding and pulled her over by her front legs. This very large paint mare popped up real easy and very preggo, but nice and calm. The owners eyes were popped out of his head. I suddenly realized that I was just in my bra and underwear and shoes. I just was very happy this gorgeous expensive mare was unharmed. The owner? He gave me the pick of the Spring foals.

I guess.. but, part of me can't help but feel like it might have been a lot more appropriate and helpful to announce to the crowd that they're going to go off mic for a little bit, so the handlers can more easily calm the animals, as well as communicate with one another verbally without having to yell or hear over some announcer babbling on with random facts about how much water the Clydesdales drink in a day! I would think whenever you have a large group of people responding to an emergency situation, them having the ability to communicate with one another is way more important than making sure the audience members don't grow bored due to a few minutes of "dead air".

Thank you for sharing this! Very emotional! I've seen these horses at the SA rodeo and when they used to have at Sea World. They are beautiful and very cool to watch. A friend purchased 3 retired Budweiser Clydesdales, I've had the pleasure of interacting with them up close. You can't tell from the video, but these animals are massive. My friend has 2 females and 1 male. My son is 6'5", the male stands taller than him. Most of horses in video are male. That's a lot of very large animals, with very heavy equipment and harness attached to each other. I have so much respect for everyone involved, this could have gone terrible wrong. It shows so much about the Clydesdale, how strong and smart they are and this isn't just a job for the people working with them. The driver immediately saw a problem and jumped into action. If he got tangled up in this, he would have been hurt badly, but he put himself in danger to save the animals. He deserves an award, very brave! All the people that ran out were in danger! So proud to watch this and see so many do the right thing. I feel blessed everytime I get to be around them, they are truly majestic. If your at the rodeo when they are there, I encourage everyone to see them up close. You can only understand how truly amazing they are, when you are standing next to them. I'm so glad the animal is okay. ❤️

Glad you noticed the harness as well. The downed horse was feeling the pressure of the harness wrapped incorrectly on his body and was at a loss what to do. I've trained horses to drive, the harness is one thing you immediately free them of when they get in a wreck. The driver was NOT attentive when his front lead horses started to turn into the bleachers in the arena, nor were his help. It should have never gotten as far as it did, I suppose when they review the entire incident they will see that. On another note, are you a fellow rockhound collecting obsidian?

If no announcer was speaking, and the horse had blood or other visible injuries that showed themselves during the untangling process, people in the audience may have screamed or made other noises that could have caused the horses to panic. This absolutely would have caused more injuries to the downed horse, plus every other horse would have been at higher risk of injury. Everyone involved with these horses, as well as the announcer, has been thoroughly trained on what to do when there’s any kind of problem, which includes when the horses aren’t performing. Fortunately in this case the outcome was a happy one.

A great example of how quickly things can go pear-shaped in harness. I saw a 16 horse team wrap itself around a tree once. Fortunately, the only injury was to the driver's collarbone, it could have been so much worse. Kudos to everyone who handled this situation so well.

As a horsewoman I can tell you that this is incredible training by the humans and learning by the horses. If you ever buy a horse, treat them well. You could not have a better friend. Like any child you adopt, be in it for the long haul. They live well into their 20s, some into their 30s. And they need you. When you grow older you will understand.

"If you ever buy a horse, treat them well. You could not have a better friend." No offense, but that is where I stop reading. We need human friends more, and you probably have more than I do today, (I got political against communism 15 years ago. No shortage of excommunication is a result of that I learned.). I do respect your relationship with your horses, it is admirable and adorable to even my harsh nature. But we have to keep this in perspective. We are human, and when we meet with good minds of morality and integrity, nothing is more wonderful than that friendship or relationship IMO. Just some thinking I have been doing.

The downed horse in the video, according to reports from show officials, is "back in action," KRLD-radio in Dallas reported.
Oh thank god
Like a downed athlete - everyone quiet and then when they get up - the audience cheers! I love it. What a good patient horse too. Waiting until his handlers got equipment off, and untangled him. Well trained, gentle spirit horse.

It's hard enough for a 2 ton horse to get up with a couple hundred pounds of equipment. Take it all off and up the horse goes. Beautiful.

Lots of pros involved. It's really inspiring. When competent people come together and halt a potentially disastrous. Even the crowd there helped with keeping a calm demeanor.
Not sure he didn't spook the horses the most.
@@erickellogg505 if the horses weren't spooked by the loud cheering and clapping from the crowd, I doubt if they were spooked by the announcer
I agree he did an excellent job. He spoke the whole time about their professionalism but he was a true professional himself! 👏
That guy needed to shut his mouth and ask for silence. He did more harm than good with his incessant rap.
I am amazed at how calm he was after he was down. No panic. He seemed to trust his handlers completely.
Putting the hood on his head helped to keep him calm. It is what they do in barn fires when you have to lead a panicking horse out of the barn.
It’s because the horse knows that there is nothing he can do so he kinda gave up (this is a fact and a real thing horses do)
looks like it was sedated with some short-acting drug.
@@MacNMollyyeah. But that horse wasn’t panicking, he was doing exactly what he was trained to do in a tangle - just chill and wait for people to sort it out. He actually could have stood up without a problem if that lady hadn’t put her jacket over his head and escalated the situation by disabling the horse. Horses were all fine but instead of calmly straightening everything out, this lady created a drama that didn’t actually exist.
@@michelleconrey4171, unless you regularly drive this team, lay off the criticism. The horse was taken care with no injuries, and for all you know, someone may have asked the woman to cover the horse’s eyes. Likewise, if she were mistaken, someone would have removed the cover.
The announcer is beyond comforting. Give that man a substantial raise. As a viewer, he kept me very calm. 🥰
The shotgun driver was technically the first one on the scene, but how about the lady in the jacket that was the first responding person on scene, she went to the horses head, placed her jacket over it's head, probably held a pressure point,and stayed with the downed horse the entire time! Someone buy that lady a beer! Nice work!
Almost all of the guys that train driving horses teach them to blindfold. They do it because if there is an accident ,it can be used without panic ( or at least the old guys that i watched training arabians, saddlebreds and the really big muleteams..)
the reason the shotgun driver is there is too hop off and run up and hold the lead horse when they stop,......he let that lead horse stare into a dead end stopped for way too long, i could see it coming 10 seconds before it happened.
so horse savvy.
Thank you. Calmness and trust played a huge part. No pressure point :)
@@danielleaubrey3226 , thank you for that, I didn't know.
Seeing how calm those horses are is amazing. Two horses went off script, something snapped, the environment is unfamiliar and one of them is on the ground yet not one of the horses panicked or spooked. It's not only a testament to the general temperment of that breed but also how much they know and trust their handler.
The driver pulled the lead raines to the right. Watch the video at the point they turned.

I had a whole lot of exposure to horses up until I completed college. The fears of KNOWING what usually happens was there. It never leaves.
I was born in Saratoga Springs and worked at the track, my grandfather supplied tack there..they overwork horses there and *every* summer at least two die right on the track. They bring them in too young and over work them. Drugs too.. It must end. (I'm a meat eater, normal person here, not a PETA member..they actually abuse horses there). I'm curious about the track you worked.
Could have been prevented if the driver was paying attention.
Brought tears to my eyes. Those horses and personnel are so well trained. How calm that horse was as he laid on the ground. Did not thrash or kick, did not panic. He trusted his handlers.

@@tessaruby2273domestic horses wouldnt survive in the wild
I know people give Budweiser a hard time about the Clydesdales, but I've seen some of their facilities and talked to some of their handlers on a couple of occasions, and they really do care deeply for those horses and they are well taken care of. They're treated WAY better than the average high stakes race horse is, and have to do a lot less work and hard labor than a race horse. I think it was more the harness and yoke that was still on him that made it hard for him to get up as well as the stress of it. And it looked like his leg got pinched in some of the hitches, so his leg could be very sore as well. He's definitely breathing heavily, so no doubt stress is complicating it. Edit: fixed yoke for some grammar hammer on the Internet who felt the need to correct the autocorrect on my tablet.
My father loved the Clydesdales pulling the wagon. Had a blown up picture of it in the family room.
I agree. He will be sore for a few days, but he'll get the best care and recover quickly. They are a very calm breed of horse, and we could see that calmness exhibited with all of the horses after the accident. Of course, the calmness of the people around them helped a lot in getting the harness disengaged and untangling it all to free them, especially the downed horse.
Yep, had a string of them as neighbors in California decades ago. IMHO: they should have immediately removed the harness tack on the downed horse before attempting to get him up. I've dealt with training driving horses and teams, seen my share of horses doing goofy stuff. Seems the driver was not fully attentive to his leads and his help should have caught those front lead horses before fully turning into the stands. Hopefully they study this incident and learn from it. Glad it came out as good as it did...thank God.
I agree!
I've visited Grant's Farm in St. Louis, and I'd like to come back in my next life as a Budweiser Clydesdale. They receive excellent care.
Not only do I salute the crew that was "Johnny on the spot" that helped those horses, but I also salute the announcer for keeping the crowd reassured and calm throughout the entire incident. I'm so glad the horse walked off under its own power!!!
Did you see the back legs tho? The horse is extremely lame and in pain. Wouldn’t be surprised if they put him down in the end.
Agreed, 100%
Lame, sore, yes. But knowing Budweiser, vet was on it instantly and he really did get the best of care. If a few days of rest and treatment didnt do the trick, that horse would be treated at a clinic they use or sent back to the farm to fully recover.
Yeah the announcer wouldn’t last long in his career if he freaked out. “Oh no, everybody panic, run for the hills or you’re gonna get trampled!” 😂😊
Actually, this “experienced”rodeo announcer should have educated the people that one of the hardest moves for a horse is to get out of a down position. On top of that there’s close to 200 pounds of unnaturally distributed extra weight. And this horse was not lame one bit.
I almost cried when I saw the horse try to get up and just lay back down. I've had horses in and out of my life ever since I can remember, but I'm by no means knowledgeable when it comes to their care and such. But the speed at which the guy jumped down off that cart was impressive, to say the least! I was also impressed by everyone working together to get this horse back up off the ground. Didn't see any tension between them, they all followed each other's direction and queue... Add the announcer helping to keep everyone calm, which allowed for the horses to remain calm. Just amazing... The whole thing! ❤
But to see how easy he made it look when he finally did get up shows that taking it easy was the best bet. They didn't push him too much or too fast and he's okie dokie now.
I heard both front legs healed just fine, but later he was hit by a transport on high way 8. Was a great horse!
@babbalonian2 Wow! That's horrible!

Yes me too
The trust the horse one ground had in the people around him was so heart warming, amazing horsemanship. Props to the announcer keeping everything calm
The horse that fell might have pinched a nerve when he went down. His movement when he walked off was very limited behind. It's amazing that he got up as quickly as he did considering.
Stop making animals perform!
It's more likely shock. Horses get a bit dazed when they fall, due to how unusual it is for them. Most of the time they don't really understand how they ended up on the ground and have to walk it off a bit. This sort of thing is so rare, and likely never occurred during their practices, so the horse is confused about what is going on.
@@cynthettaoh be quiet… these are not wild animals. If it was a bear or elephant… fine, wild animals should be left alone. But these are domesticated animals that enjoy being with humans and working. If you’ve never had anything other than a fat cat and labradoodle you wouldn’t understand. Certain Dogs and horses ENJOY working.

They are made to travel too much. Poor horses
They are truly gentle giants. When I was about 12 I was on the ramp of the trailer they came to a parade in and they were all lined up facing the truck. I slipped off the ramp and fell between one of the horses legs and he didn't move. The men working with the horses pulled me out and not once did that horse move until he was told to. They made me go back up the ramp, so the horse could see I was okay. They told me to pet him and let him know he did a great job. I was so scared, when I slipped and fell, but it is a great story to share how great these gentle giants really are. I'm so happy he got up and walked away, I hope he is doing well. They are big babies for sure.
That is so awesome. I never would have thought that they needed to let the horse know he did a good job because you were ok. Thanks for sharing.
@@susanpera2131 I was so scared to do it, but once he saw I was okay, it was like he relaxed. Many year before that, I was at a parade on the corner of the route with my family and we all backed up, so they could make the turn...I could almost touch them as they made the corner and I was afraid of houses since that day. So the day I fell between the horse was the day I was trying to come to terms with my fear of them.(trying to be a big girl) I love horses from afar, but I still fear them.
That is an amazing reaction from the horse. I saw the Budweiser Clydesdales a couple years ago and they are just amazing. But I agree, I don’t think I would ride one.
@Susan Pera oh yes! Not speaking about Clydesdales specifically. But more to trained horses in general. It was also a lesson for the op as a young girl. To consider what the animal may be feeling. What a great way to teach that lesson. And we can hear what an impact it had!

Until you’ve seen these animals very up-close, it’s impossible to understand their grandeur. They’re some of the most magnificent animals on earth, and none receive better treatment than these.
@@nadia4985 good thing I’m not a horse. 🙄
@Nadia You are ridiculous. Many domestic animals need to have a job, and without that job...their health would suffer.
Horses have tails
These horses are treated very well. Youins on here tryn to victimize them like lab monkeys are slinging more horse shit than the horses do. Have you ever been close to one?? I have 4 btw. Educate yourself a little so you don't sound utterly moronic. , well maybe.
@@cindysplace8984 lol these particular horses get better treatment than some of these "woke folks" kids I'd expect ! Farm life dont need any rescuings from heroic concrete jungle types ! How pathetic ;-)
8:02 Look at the Dalmatian on the truck. That dog is also very well trained. She has stayed on the truck and remains calm. The Budweiser horses have been around my whole life and I love them. My favorite part of the Thanksgiving Day Macy’s Parade since the ‘50’s, are those horses! :) 🐴🐎🎠 🌲🎄
i didn’t know this until recently, but Dalmatians were historically bred to work with horses so that makes sense and probably why he is up there :) to tie the whole image together. they’re apparently really good at reading horse’s too and are calming to them.
Yes you're right that's another reason they're associated with fire stations. At one time there were horse drawn fire wagons.
@@comfortmeit's not so much an image thing, but more like tradition. The Clydesdales and dalmatians have been representing Budweiser since the beginning, back when we needed horses and dogs to help with daily life!
This is why we carefully train our horses to not panic when they are in trouble and consider how they naturally respond to distress. Amazing job by everyone involved. Poor buddy, he was pretty stressed.
You can tell from the the way they handled the horses was outstanding. Everyone did their job and when one changed positions there was someone who immediately stepped in. They were prepared for everything. The shot gun driver didn’t hesitate to get down to help. I’ve never seen someone move faster than him. The crew were there in seconds. I’m so proud to live in St. Louis where these gentle horses came from. Thank you Auggie Bush!
Hats off to all of you! Bravo 👏
I live 3 blocks from AB in St. Louis and walk by them all the time when they are out of the stables. I have friends who worked there and know how devoted the caregivers and trainers are. They’re not just animals, they are legends and cared for like Kings. They love to perform and they love people and other pets. My dogs go by with me on walks when they are out and they look at my dogs with a nod. Sometimes they will come to the fence and sniff and nod. They are so regal and smart. If you ever visit St. Louis come tour the brewery and you can see them. No, I don’t work for A B ,but they are great for our city and we love our neighbor Clydesdales.
I cried tears of joy when the big guy finally got up, thank you everyone involved for taking excellent care of these magnificent animals 🐴❤️
I can breath again now. SO GLAD THAT HORSE WAS OK. ❤❤❤
Congratulations to the announcer as well for keeping it all positive! What an amazing human being! 🙌🤗
those horses are totally trusting. The way he laid down and said 'nope, I can't do it, do what you gotta do' instead of fighting it, just amazing to watch.
Yeaaah! 😏
I live in St. Louis and have visited the farm where the horses are kept many times. This announcer was correct. The crew that looks after these horses are so dedicated and devoted to their welfare just as they were indeed a family pet. It's a beautiful thing!
Yes and I love the videos they air sharing the joys of working with these majestic beasts. Clydesdales are my favorite. They're so gorgeous and graceful. Well, for the most part lol.
I've been there too. Their stables are nicer than my house
Did the horse survive?
@@heidiwolff3044 well sort of since you didnt finish watching the video, we took him in the back and made burgers
Dud you see the part where…bevermind
Good grief that sure got my tears flowing! Sometimes things just dont go as planned. I also want to commend the guy in green who ran into the chaos to save those horses from injury. Thats true love right there. What beautiful horses they are and thank you Bud for all the hard work you and your family and team put into caring for these magnificent horses and sharing them with us all. What a show! This one will never be forgotten! God bless you all!
This happens way to often seriously
Sad prayers
@@tenderprecious How often? 🤔
@@michaelcossey8474 often enough there's a slew of videos showing the same type of tragedy, there's just not enough room in those arenas
@@tenderprecious I did a search and only found two such a incidents. That sounds like very few considering there are three teams of Clydesdales that make 150-200 appearances a year.
So glad horse ok. Such a beautiful animal and announcer very good! God bless all the animals ❤️ 👍Good job to the helpers!
Cheers to the commentator as well who kept everyone calm.
I was taking a course in large animal care years ago. Our class was taken to care for and groom the Budweiser Clydesdales before a parade. The joy of working with these gentle giants has never left me.
Wow. What an experience!
A once in a lifetime opportunity. Good on you.
Can those annoying people told people to be quiet but they just kept on talking.
What a privilege!
Stop cutting off their tails! Stop supporting this kind of stuff
I love how quiet the audience was. You can tell how gentle and well handled these horses are to just lay there and not thrash around!
From my experience it’s probably not the first time that this crowd has seen something bad happen at a rodeo. for some people rodeos are a yearly tradition.
They also put a towel over its head, that calms them down.
Quiet? Afterwards they behaved bad! You never scream like it near horses! They could have scared that horse so worse things could have happened! That was not real horse people!
Man, I couldn’t stop watching until I knew the horse was okay! Those are the most beautiful horses❤️
I didn’t cry until he stood up finally, after that, the waterworks 😭😭😭🥰 I’m so happy that he was ok. I have been in love with these guys for 45 years now.
Kudos to the dog too , for staying calm on top of the wagon. I practically held my breath the whole time ! I'm so glad everything turned out well. I love horses so dearly.
You are so kind
Me too and dogs!

Yes that was also on my mind 👏👏👏
The shotgun seat person seen that it was going to be bad and i believe their fast response saved a much bigger disaster. Great job.
That is solely their job. Get in front and calm the horses.
Wow what a great job that crew did being around horses all my life it could of been a huge disaster but they did a wonderful job getting him back up. I was really worried about it’s back legs and when he stayed up I was so excited and he pranced out of there like a champ that he is God bless him and the crew for acting as fast as they did. There truly amazing people.
Yep he "shot" right out of that seat. I thought it was a perfectly named position for him. He went from looking backwards to an Olympic sprinter in 0.0000001 seconds. LOL
Kudos to him, that drive went south in a new york second and he knew it.
considering it was his fault , i guess he should finally get off his butt and go up to the front like he was suppose to , and hold the lead horse so it doesn't do exactly what it did .
The care and love for these horses is amazing and obvious. Great job.
HUGE shoutout to the announcer‼️ Good job MC! Way to keep calm so the crowd stayed calm, and therefore the horses remained calm!
First, thank you to the person from Model Horse Tack for posting this video. No personal commentary, no "jokes", or tacky music in the background. Really appreciate it. Second, I don't think I have ever been so emotionally invested in a YT video. The caption didn't prepare me for the angst as I saw the horses moving towards the accident, seeing the affected horses, the downed horse faltering, and then walking out of the ring...and the announcer was so great at not only calming the crowd but keeping me from flipping out. (Love the dalmatian who expressed his relief as they all left the ring -- I think we both started breathing again.) Finally, I have been a Budweiser Clydesdale Superbowl commercial fan for as long as I can remember. But this video has shown me how truly dedicated the support team is and, from the comments, how much they all mean to our communities.
SO TRUE!! My thoughts went the same direction! It’s great that these gentle giants can rally move everybody so! Must be the innocence of animals period, and these beauties are so beloved by the nation because of those commercials!!
When they had the horses in SA in Astro World orSea World. I can not remember. The dog stayed with them. I thought it was awesome.
Same!!! i haven't been upset watching people get hurt. Right now I am in a public space and I tried my best to hold back the tears and just couldn't.
Bud has some training videos and others on YT, along with old commercials (including both 9/11). They're great to watch.
Right? I was tearing up, hoping the horse would be fine.
The MC is truly an unsung hero. He kept the crowd informed and maintained calm for the horses and the audience. Great job Sir.
He talked about not knowing what's gonna happen when working with animals, did you see why the horse fled?
I agree, great job under pressure
Maybe he could have told the crowd not to scream and shout when the downed horse tried to rise.
He should have kept quiet
He should have told the crowd to shut up and sit down and then turned the pa off. Less noise is the only right way.
I kept saying, over and over, "Please be all right!" as my tears poured forth shamelessly. Prayers that the horse that went down, fully recovered with only a bit of soreness/bruising. God sure had His Mighty Wing o'er those in the arena and all those who gave their all to bring things back right again!
Stop the religious lunacy.
@@areguapiri you know, people are allowed to be religious. This person’s comment is pretty far down in the comment section, so did you go hunting for someone’s day to ruin and you decided to choose this person and their religion? Shame on you. Shame on you for telling this person that they are a lunatic for hoping these animals are safe and doing the one thing they can that they believes helps. For hoping and having faith. You are a sad individual in that you cannot live and let live. No harm was done by this person’s comment. It was solely well wishes and hope. So if this is your only response to that, then no wonder the world is becoming such a cold place that people like you live in it. It’s not even about religion, just that you are a sad person who can’t let others enjoy what they want to. What are you? The government? Or are you just someone who is jealous that other people aren’t as cynical as you, and so you are trying to drag them down with you as you fall?
I've been around and had horses all my life. Everything from different disciplines to rescued before the meat truck arrived rescues. I stopped the video because while I appreciate the care and professionalism I found myself in tears and anger. If you've never been to a performance like this, the arena is unbelievably small. They are accidents waiting to happen. Its the reason I stopped endurance trials of 50+ to 100 miles. I started feeling.... why? I'm at a point in 'my' life where I step back and weigh every decision with animals of every type. For me, me only. I pray and send universal harmony to all involved but mainly the horses. Signed.... An Equine ER Vet Tech, rescuer, and love of all animals who trust their humans. Its a privilege to interact with them all.
Wow! Incredible teamwork! I managed a paint horse ranch for years. The owner was a wanna be cowboy, but a nice older retired guy who got himself into precarious positions with his horses. One day I was out running and I looked down the Valley and see a pregnant mare cast up against the pasture fence and flailing in a panic. I shouted and waved at the owner, a big man, who ambled towards the mare. I hopped a dozen fences and tore across the pasture ripping off my sweatshirt and sweat pants as I ran. The owner was very upset cause he didn't know what to do. I immediately covered the mares head and eyes with my sweatshirt, tying it down with the arms. I then had the owner talk calm to her and I ran off to fetch some soft ropes and a big easy gelding we had. I used my sweatpants to tie her front legs together like a hobble and made a rig tied to the gelding and pulled her over by her front legs. This very large paint mare popped up real easy and very preggo, but nice and calm. The owners eyes were popped out of his head. I suddenly realized that I was just in my bra and underwear and shoes. I just was very happy this gorgeous expensive mare was unharmed. The owner? He gave me the pick of the Spring foals.
i would love to work on a ranch, whats it like??
how much are "spring foals" approximately? just curious cuz idk anything about horses
Good job getting him up!!
Loved your story! Good job!
And a free show! Congratulations!
Thank you to the person who took the video and shared it. I’m so very happy for the horse and the team that all was ok. ❤
Indeed….thank you for posting this video!
I'm not a horse person, but these are just magnificent animals. It's so impressive seeing them at events. Was so glad the one that went down was able to get back on its feet and looked to be OK.
Yes thanks to the poster and for not talking. I really appreciate that.
How is the horse now?
@Barbara Carithers From what I could read on the internet so far, it seems the horse was not injured, and they are all doing well.
Слава богу лошадь не повредила себе ничего , так переживала за неё , здоровья тебе лошадка!
Nothing more heartwarming and inspiring to see a professional team caring for those animals and staying so calm and proficient in their expertise.
One of the most impressive and professional announcing jobs I've ever heard! The guy was very calm, informative, and on top of things. The Michael Buffer of rodeo.
Wow 😲.
Pain meds kicked in
Nothing right about your comment!
@@kinasc1575 why? He did what he needed to do and what he's paid to do. He wasn't confused, he calmed the crowd, he was informative and assured the crowd. He turned a bad experience into a wholesome moment for the crowd. It's more than just about the horses out there buddy.
Mike Buffer??
This is the second Budweiser Clydesdale wreck I've seen in my lifetime, and I've been a life long fan. The training these horses receive shows right here when there is an emergency. Shotgun rider went immediately to the down horse. All the others remained calm and still while the human team unhitched the standing horses. I applaud the care and teamwork displayed here.
Even the Dalmatian acted professionally.
I know nothing on the subject. Are you saying shotgun because he was not driving or because he has a shotgun in case the horse broke its leg?
2019 They had a mishap
@Randy Robinson it's an old saying, that goes back to the days when the highwaymen ambushed the stagecoach on the frontier. The security of the passengers and whatever loot was aboard was handled by a person with a shotgun sitting next to the stagecoach driver.
Stupid avoidable accidents
It was reassuring (? can't think of right word) to me that the first order of business was to calm the horses (and crowd). It was obvious that those helping the horses were/are loving professionals. Thank you for sharing.
These horse are professionally trained to stay down and calm until given a command. It’s amazing to watch them
Kudos also to the announcers, who managed to completely ad-lib 10 minutes of calm, professional narration as all this was taking place. Never a stutter, never a second of dead air. Professionals all around at this event.
I guess.. but, part of me can't help but feel like it might have been a lot more appropriate and helpful to announce to the crowd that they're going to go off mic for a little bit, so the handlers can more easily calm the animals, as well as communicate with one another verbally without having to yell or hear over some announcer babbling on with random facts about how much water the Clydesdales drink in a day! I would think whenever you have a large group of people responding to an emergency situation, them having the ability to communicate with one another is way more important than making sure the audience members don't grow bored due to a few minutes of "dead air".
@@dong6839 the announcer most likely calmed down the crowd and believe me, the people down in the arena helpinv were not focused on the announcer.
@@dong6839the announcer did absolutely beautiful keeping people calm and avoiding panic and distress. Everyone wants to be a critic these days.
He’s a hygienist during the day as he lots of practice with one way conversations.
Should have told the crowd to shut up and then done so.
the horse next to the one that was down, while still hitched to the wagon was an absolute saint of a horse, how calm he stayed as the other one was trying to get up and falling into him helped the whole situation.
The one on the ground was exceptionally patient. It never panicked even when it first tried to get up and discovered it was tangled in it’s harness.
Wasn't he th one in th Superbowl commercial few yrs back !
It's a testament to their good nature and how much trust they have in their handlers. The handlers say "whoa" and the horses just stop trying to fight their way free because they know help is on the way.
I was most impressed with the guy on the right who flew onto the ground once he saw the horse take that turn. He knew what could happen. Great reflexes!
How brave the Green Coat handler ran into that pile of Clydesdale tonnage to untangle the knot.
Thank you for sharing this! Very emotional! I've seen these horses at the SA rodeo and when they used to have at Sea World. They are beautiful and very cool to watch. A friend purchased 3 retired Budweiser Clydesdales, I've had the pleasure of interacting with them up close. You can't tell from the video, but these animals are massive. My friend has 2 females and 1 male. My son is 6'5", the male stands taller than him. Most of horses in video are male. That's a lot of very large animals, with very heavy equipment and harness attached to each other. I have so much respect for everyone involved, this could have gone terrible wrong. It shows so much about the Clydesdale, how strong and smart they are and this isn't just a job for the people working with them. The driver immediately saw a problem and jumped into action. If he got tangled up in this, he would have been hurt badly, but he put himself in danger to save the animals. He deserves an award, very brave! All the people that ran out were in danger! So proud to watch this and see so many do the right thing. I feel blessed everytime I get to be around them, they are truly majestic. If your at the rodeo when they are there, I encourage everyone to see them up close. You can only understand how truly amazing they are, when you are standing next to them. I'm so glad the animal is okay. ❤️
Amazing I cried real tears, of joy and thanks to God for the horses recovery of the accident ❤🐎
Aaand I’m just crying. Seeing a downed horse after an accident just feels completely gut wrenching 😫 These horses were actually very very calm after the initial accident and the handlers are so so amazing. I am so touched by the announcer’s INCREDIBLY cool demeanor preventing the audience from being chaotic. Everyone responded perfectly. This could’ve been so bad and watching this as a horse person I was extremely tense, but relief trickled in quickly with everyone’s brilliant reactions. Bravo!!
I was crying too but I admit that I had to turn the volume down on the announcer just enough to imagine that we were in a quiet atmosphere for the horses hahaha
Couldnt even listen or watch until I sped thru the video & saw the beautiful big fella up. Answered prayers……Luv these Gentle Gorgeous Giants. Marvelous recovery…..and tho I’m an absolute Equine Enthusiast, their well being is my passion. Truly tears me apart when one appears or is distressed. Ten thousand cheers for this wonderful professional crew!!!!!!

We were at the Reno rodeo several years ago when a team pulling a covered wagon had an accident. The announcer was amazing. The crowd was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. They got the horses untangled and back on their feet within minutes (which seemed like forever)! Very scary 😥
Well done all. Magnificent animals that are such gentle giants. Handlers extremely caring and professional. TRAIN WRECK AVERTED.
Well done to the shotgunner, announcers, ground staff and the medical team for handling this so well. I grew up down the street from the farm where these beautiful Clydesdales are bred for Budweiser so they’ve always held a special place in my heart. Glad the horse is okay!
Appreciate the announcer praying for all involved! Thx you & Thank God
Stop this damn show!
Yep Grants Farm!
@NuThobga why? Accidents happen, all is well, horse recovered.
A masterclass in how to turn a failure into a triumph. Calm professionalism, no panic, the horses being the primary concern.

Good advertising for Budweiser is delicious tasting beer, not Clydesdales
Well said! I agree. The love and care that entire team showed for all of these horses was great to see.
Love the perseverance and care given for the team and for those horses!
It's great that he/she is ok and all those horses were kept calm and are obviously well looked after ❤
These horses are so tough, so huge, but they are gentle giants. I was so pleased 🙏 to see this horse recover and walk away proudly. The experts knew what to do. I tip my hat to them.
You could almost see that big boy take a bow and say, 'Whew, that was close.'
He is not recovered. He was walking all wrong. He was in pain.
linxj6 didn't say I knew horses, think I'd be hurting too if I just just got stomped by a Clydesdale
how does a horse walk "proudly"? i think thats a human attribute :)
I cut to the comments immediately for the outcome. Thank you.
I’m proud of the dog for staying on the wagon! Good supportive dog!!!🐾🦴
Wonderfully patient handlers to such gorgeous, graceful horses
Я так переживала за лошадку😢😢😢. Слава богу, что все хорошо😊😊😊
I’m impressed with the announcers keeping the dialogue going and bringing calm and patience to everyone. That’s impressive
When it comes to rodeos all sorts of things can happen, they know these animals go off of the energy of everything around them, so it's best to make sure everyone else is just as calm so the job can be done quicker and safer. The clysdale most likely stumbling from shock and stress from the situation, which honestly I wouldn't blame the guy, so the last thing they need is a crowd yelling and hollering making it all the more stressful and harder to get their bearings again
ACTUALLY, I wish they would have just shut up
Agreed. The whole time I was thinking just shut up!! Silence would have been more respectful. And told the crowd not to clap when the horse finally did get up. I thought oh no he’s gona freak. Poor thing. Animals for entertainment what a fabulous idea! Glad he finally got up and seemed ok. Appeared as if the front horses spooked at something or were given a wrong signal when they turned in too far.
100% agree with the original comment. Announcer did a perfect job!!
@@gwendolyn7462 I agree
I can tell you from being at San Antonio showing cattle the entire event is manned by absolute professionals from start to finish . This shows that they are always on top of every situation. Hats off to these Budweiser teamsters.
It took way to long to remove the harnesses. However, everything was handled so gracefully, as much as could be expected from the situation. I was in tears almost the whole time though, I was trembling! I am so glad that the horses are all okay and that there were no serious significant injuries or removals.
Glad you noticed the harness as well. The downed horse was feeling the pressure of the harness wrapped incorrectly on his body and was at a loss what to do. I've trained horses to drive, the harness is one thing you immediately free them of when they get in a wreck. The driver was NOT attentive when his front lead horses started to turn into the bleachers in the arena, nor were his help. It should have never gotten as far as it did, I suppose when they review the entire incident they will see that. On another note, are you a fellow rockhound collecting obsidian? Cheers and have a Happy New Year
That was a very professional regroup of horses and people. Everything remained calm. Hats off to the announcer great voice and calm talk!!]
That commentator deserves a medal. His skills and equine knowledge were put to the test and boy, did he deliver. The crew also did a superb job 👌
That announcer was *_annoying_* he _talked too much,_ made _frivolous small talk_ ("they're washed every day") and assumptions.
@@wholeshebang1 I think you have completely missed the point as to what he was doing and why!
@@wholeshebang1 Respectfully disagree. The whole point was to keep the crowd and the horses calm. By talking he was helping keep the crowd quiet. He was also helping mask stray yells or screams from the crowd that might have startled the horse. The horses are used to the announcers talking constantly when they are in the ring. It would have helped keep everything sounding more normal to them.
I'm an equestrian and I cried like a baby thru this whole video. So relieved to see that sweet horse get up and walk out!!!
I'm sure the whole thing hit them soon after, though. I once had a gelding risk his own well being to save mine, when he stumbled. He went above and beyond to make sure I stayed on! I understood what he did from the beginning, but the more I relived it in my mind, the more I realized what he did. Those horses love their handlers and keepers, and vice versa...no doubt about it! 💜
Me, a dog person, watching this: I’m just super impressed by and focused on the Dalmatian’s behaviour and demeanour throughout. That’s one good doggo!
Not gonna lie, my heart was breaking and I couldn't stop crying when I saw that beautiful creature try to get up and fall back down. I love these horses, they are my absolute favorites and I could not stand to think of something happening to them. And a huge thank you to the whole crew for getting things done so quickly...
I think that whole situation was probably more touching and gratifying to watch and appreciate than the entertainment that was planned with the horses. The speaker was excellent in narrating the activity that was going on. He made everyone even more invested with interest and love for the caretakers along with the horses. Very very nice job! 👍
The announcer was *_annoying_* and *_talked too much,_* with frivolous info ("they're washed every day") and assumptions.
@@wholeshebang1The reason for that was to give the audience something positive to focus on. If no announcer was speaking, and the horse had blood or other visible injuries that showed themselves during the untangling process, people in the audience may have screamed or made other noises that could have caused the horses to panic. This absolutely would have caused more injuries to the downed horse, plus every other horse would have been at higher risk of injury. Everyone involved with these horses, as well as the announcer, has been thoroughly trained on what to do when there’s any kind of problem, which includes when the horses aren’t performing. Fortunately in this case the outcome was a happy one.
A great example of how quickly things can go pear-shaped in harness. I saw a 16 horse team wrap itself around a tree once. Fortunately, the only injury was to the driver's collarbone, it could have been so much worse. Kudos to everyone who handled this situation so well.
The second he got up I burst into tears. So happy that big boy is okay ❤
This is an excellent example of Budweisers brand and profits imploding. This really aged well
As a horsewoman I can tell you that this is incredible training by the humans and learning by the horses. If you ever buy a horse, treat them well. You could not have a better friend. Like any child you adopt, be in it for the long haul. They live well into their 20s, some into their 30s. And they need you. When you grow older you will understand.
They need us and we need them! Just yesterday I wondered which one I would choose if I had to choose between never having child but having horses or never having a horse but having children. I had to think for a whilebut I felt that I would choose horses over children. 🙈 (I'm female, 37, owning a horse and having difficulties to conceive a child. That's why I wondered how relevant children really are be happy...my conclusion was a bit unexpected even to me. 😅)
EXACTLY !!....& WELL said !!....GOTTA LOVE'EM to have'em, or DON'T have 'em.....JUST LIKE children.
@@sweethome2098 Some children are a blessing. All horses are a blessing. If you get one that turns out crazy you can not always fix a child but you can fix a crazy horse. I've rehabbed several that went from Scary Jerry to Gentleman Dan and were first lessons horses. Never hurt a child nor anyone else. Study the horse. It's a pleasure to do and you learn a lot about what makes them work.
@@sweethome2098 I know WHICH is why I am not a fan of Budweiser horses. Did you know after all they do for us, the Budweiser horses spent 320 days of the year travelling and are in 3.2 square metre stalls😢😢it’s not ok 😢😢😢😢😢💔💔
"If you ever buy a horse, treat them well. You could not have a better friend." No offense, but that is where I stop reading. We need human friends more, and you probably have more than I do today, (I got political against communism 15 years ago. No shortage of excommunication is a result of that I learned.). I do respect your relationship with your horses, it is admirable and adorable to even my harsh nature. But we have to keep this in perspective. We are human, and when we meet with good minds of morality and integrity, nothing is more wonderful than that friendship or relationship IMO. Just some thinking I have been doing. Like i said, no offense. Doug in Michigan
I had to look at the comments before I watched to make sure it turned out well. Couldn’t fathom watching a disaster. The rapid, professional response and calming voice of the announcer helped prevent a tragedy. I had goosebumps up both arms when that majestic horse finally stood up!
Me too!
Me too!
This is a more interesting and inspiring performance than whatever they originally had planned. I wonder how many people will decide to go to veterinary school because they saw this!
The whole time i was watching i thought someone was going to pull out a firearm and put it down.
Same! 🥹🥺🩷
Fantastic effort by the team I was very impressed with the quick response after shotgun Rider and then the young lady covering the horses head. I live in a place called Punchestown here in Ireland and I love horses look it up it’s some racecourse and we have five days here as well, but from now well done to everybody there, you have my respect❤❤❤❤❤❤
The downed horse, finally stands up, the crowd goes wild!!! That horse stand and its ears are moving, eyes looking around, he starts walking like " I'm okay, loving the crowd reaction"!
Made me a little teary eyed when he got up and was ok. These horses seem so loved and well taken care of. My hats off to the announcer and the team caring for these big boys ♥️♥️♥️
I was more than teary eyed I have to say...happy tears
🥺🥰❤
I thought I was being foolish when I started to cry as the horse got up, I guess it was the fear they might have to put lt down. To sad to think that, they are such beautiful animals. Thanks you guy's, I don't feel so foolish now. Thank you and God bless you and your family's. Stay safe and well. ❤ 🐎
No they are not. They need not be working for human amusement. Let them be free in green pastures.
No reason to feel proud that it made you teary. You are not a good person just because you show emotions when other suffer.
i actually broke down and cried when i saw the horse get up under its own power. WELL DONE TO ALL OF THOSE PROFESSIONALS.
Wimp
stop being a cry baby!! This really was not that big of a deal AT ALL. You people are so soft its pathetic, nothing was going to happen here.
Oh me too
Same. I had a lump in my throat because I was pulling for the horse to be OK. Seeing it rise to its feet and walk out of that ring was wonderful.
@@debbiblakeslee I know did you see that trainer saying " get up this time or its the glue factory for you!!" and up she came amazing
Hats of to the team and the guy commenting to the crowd absolutely calm and respectful ❤️
Just goes to show you no matter how well-trained how well-prepared things can go wrong just hope everyone and every animal is okay
As some one who has driven a pair, that was one of the scariest things I can imagine happening. So glad the downed horse is okay if a bit stiff and sore. This is why quick releases, sharp pocket knives, and a qualified groom (shotgun driver) are musts. That could have been an absolute disaster without such a calm and competent response from everyone involved.
Any idea why the two lead horses made the turn into the team?
@@billblackledge2679 i think the front two heard it wrong from their handlers.
I agree with the quick release buckles and sharp knives comment. I too have driven horses and have first hand experience at how life saving those quick release buckles are!
@@commanderdante3185 ignorant comment of the day award goes to...^^^ you understand horses are used everyday for work right? get out of the city and open your eyes ffs... what is wrong with these woke progressives?
@@billblackledge2679 possibly as Debbie said the lead horses were confused about the command? Also possible that the outside lead horse got a wild hair about getting out of there ASAP. That would be super weird with a team like that. You don’t put a horse who isn’t 100% reliably level headed in an 8 horse exhibition hitch. Especially not as a lead horse. But, horses are still horses, so sometimes crazy things happen.
The Clydesdales are some of the most Majestic Horses I have ever seen. I was about 6 or 7 years old the first time I seen them, and I was at a Mardi Gras Parade. I will never forget the feeling of Awe and Wonder I felt as they walked by. I'm 64 now and I still feel that same feeling of Awe and Wonder every time I see them. The team that takes care of them are great.
They are special
I remember i was 11 years old and seen clydesdales n victoria tx parking lot mall.41 now
You saw them. You didn't seen anything!
They’re too docile and get scared too easily they’re really not good for anything.
I never really thought about beloved those horses are until this happened and I read all these lovely comments. It’s so sweet!
How calm that horse was the hole time while laying on the ground says a lot for the trainers and handlers
What a beautiful display of love and care! If only everyone had that gentleness and love in their hearts. The whole world need more people like this in it and in Govn't. Especially now! Excellent video! Thank you.
Born and raised in St.Louis and grew up with these guys at every event. I had tears falling down my face seeing this yet thankful for the professionals! Just wow! Thanks for sharing
Ain't gonna lie. My eyes started to sweat a little when he finally stood up and started walking. I've never been a huge dog or cat person, but having owned horses off and on most all of my life, they get me right in the feels. I'm glad he is ok.
I grew up watching Budweiser commercials with my Dad when we would watch sports on TV. I finally saw them up close in Florida. BEAUTIFUL animals! Glad he walked out.
Me too and then I also noticed the dog and my thought was the dog is ok
Glad you posted this. I had to scroll down before I watched the video to make sure the horse was ok.
I have not heard someone refer to eyes "sweating" before, but that's what mine were doing, too. I had the opprtunity to stand within arm's reach of one of the Budweiser horses as a young adult and I was in awe. The horse was suitably underwhelmed, accustomed to being admired.
Haha, my eyes got sweaty way before that!
Dude, thanks for taping this! Well done!
