“Whoa Shamrock!” A NSFW Ride on a Runaway Horse

Parental Advisory: Explicit Lyrics Ahead. But, for like, a really good reason.

Here’s the thing. We’ve all been there. When we share this video of a guy surviving an epic bolt by his beloved OTTB, it’s not because we think all OTTBs bolt, or because we think it will never happen to us, or because we think he’s lousy. It’s because we know we’re next (and overdue), so we’re going to laugh while we’re lucky enough to say it was someone else.

(Yep, there’s some bad language — this is your official warning.)

As rider Nick Bull says of the incident, “Shamrock is a retired race horse. On this day, he forgot he was retired, or that I’m not that experienced a rider and decided to take me for the ride of my life. Please excuse the bad language and girly screams at the end.”

We not only excuse and forgive, Nick, we give this whole shebang the HN Salute of Insanity. Go forth and conquer, Shamrock. And Nick – maybe consider getting yourself an air vest.

Go Riding.
