Let's talk about Lani

Let’s face it, being a racehorse in the modern world is about as unnatural equine experience as there is. Some handle it better than others.

Lan![]( had a little dust-up the other day preparing for Dubai World Cup

What on earth happened there? Can’t blame Lani for freaking out over a loose horse running up his butt. I think I see the other rider’s legs behind the bay :wink:

If you look closely it appears a barely visible rider is being ejected off the near side. It looks like two human legs hanging down inside the left fore of the dark horse.

In some quarters, this and his not liking post parades has turned into “Lani is a raging monster who has to run on the far outside or he’ll try to savage other horses and is a danger to everyone around him!” The “evidence” for it was that photo, plus some pictures of him being lead with, at most, his ears pricked.

Aw, there’s nothing wrong with him. He doesn’t tolerate hijinks. Plenty of Grand Prix jumpers have similar quirks.

While it may be the rider that was on the bay, that person is not on/coming off the horse at the moment of the photo. The person that can bee seen behind the bay, is on the ground running/jogging well behind the horses.

Boy, that must be one big needle to inject a rider into a horse…sorry, couldn’t resist.

:lol: I could blame the spelling error on autocorrect, but I won’t.

I think you are correct.
