Badminton 2011: What horses do for us Posted: 18 May 2011 12:01 PM PDT This is great footage of a near-fall, partly because the fall didn't actually happen and partly because you get a glimpse of how willing these horses are, and how much they "get" and embrace their job. Kudos to horse and rider... BTW, Peter Atkins stressed over and over how his "defensive" riding style (sitting in the back seat) keeps you safe in cross-country. This girl was pretty upright coming over the first fence, though not so much as Peter is. When her horse stumbled she still wound up on his neck -- but maybe her leaning-back position is why she stayed on.  I'm very impressed with her rapid recovery -- look how quickly she gets back in position!
