A video of Boyd Martin playing chicken with a ditchy horse, and getting flattened in the process, is going viral, and we couldn’t resist sharing!
A bit of commentary from the Boyd & Silva Martin Blog:
It’s true what they say, folks … Don’t Mess with Texas. In the midst of teaching a clinic in Texas this past weekend, Boyd, ever the gentleman, offered to give a young lady a little guidance in getting her resistant horse over a ditch, by becoming a human jump standard … but instead he got steamrolled!
Oops. Glad everyone is OK — Boyd bounced up with a limp and a laugh, and the horse braved the ditch on the next attempt: “Goodness, that clinician guy wasn’t bluffing!”
Looks like the rest of the clinic went well, too:
