I'll let you write a good caption for this simply unbelievable video. Post your reaction.

Sorry to be brief in my lead up post, but I don't want to influence your reactions, except to wager you a great dinner somewhere that you have not seen anything quite like this before.

It has animal content and so as not to give it away too much, I'll just say I was shocked to see this for many reasons.

I had to view it a couple of times. And if you want to see it again, it's best to refresh the page, as clicking on the play button again will not remove the other icons placed on the screen.

Here it is:

In the US they do the same with motorcycles and call it wheelie.

I guess this one can be designated a hoofie ?

OMG! I've never seen a horse act like that before. Was that intentional??

Is there any news on this guy? He got up an ran away so I know he wasn't paralyzed.

Was he going for a back flip? 0.o

Clearly push that beast too far.

Get the f*** off me, pancho.

I actually had a pony do that to me when I was ten. Stood right up and fell back, she didn't jump like that horse though. One thing I've found out over the years is that all horses are different just like people. When a horse doesn't want you on them they usually will find a way to get you off. Maybe the lower strap was to tight, I've seen that before.Crazy video!

Christopher Reeve's horse wanted to be a bunny rabbit, but they didn't offer species change operations.

Too soon?

First ever attempt at horse backflip fails miserably.

I believe I can fly...

I think it was the music, as animals have sensitive hearing. That's what happens when you treat animals like objects.

that's nucking futs! it really looks like it's trying to backflip!? i think now that we have machines to perform labour and cars and bikes for transport the horse is kind of redundant (on most terrain anyway).

Ha!!
I love it when animals say F__k you.

morale of the story is dont whip your horse you idiot! got what he deserved

I've lived around horses most of my life and I can tell you that horse was *angry* and annoyed. It's pinning its ears back, making jittery movements and giving all the warning signs that the rider was about to get bucked. Good video, though.

I've seen this happen at rodeos. Check out the end of this video.

Edit: I wonder why he keeps whipping the horse in the video the OP posted. Perhaps he intended to make it rear up when the music pauses. The horse, however, had a different idea. Liftoff!!! Take that jerk!

Here's the vid:

Sumthin's on my back, GET IT OFF!

Good for that horse!!
As for the caption,
Hit me again Pancho, I dare you!!!
Unfortunately they probably put this beautiful horse down for one reason or another.
But the horse did the right thing I'm sure.

Now go sober up and stop disgracing some of my ancestors.
