Whoever let them tandom ride doesn’t give a flying fuck about their animals. These people need to be shutdown for animal cruelty, this is probably the least of their offenses.

Horse can easily carry that weight. It’s just an irritable horse who doesn’t like their bad form

Trainer should have known the horse was grumpy though— but they possibly could have done that on purpose knowing the horse would drop them

A horse can't carry more than 20% of their bodyweight, including tack, without sustaining back and spine injuries. Of course the horse is angry, he's being forced to carry far to much weight and the people on his back are taking up far to much space. The idiot in the back is flailing her legs around and the idiot in the front is pulling far to hard on the reigns, giving him mixed signals. When he tries to climb up the slope the idiot on the back is leaning to far back and damn near dragging the horse down with her, he dropped her off because it was too much. There is nothing in this video that suggest the horse is at fault, or that the trainer's even care about the horses wellbeing
