Do they like beer as well?

I don't give 'em chance to find out - that's a hobby I like to keep to myself

Oh dear. Hope both horse and rider are OK.

They usually are. The riders wear vests that inflate when they part company with the horse. If the horse or rider fall they are eliminated from the competition.
The horse is on its feet now.

That sounds kinda hi-tech. Is that a recent thing? Does the horse get an air bag too?

That's a bit harsh. So you're lying on your back after a fall with broken limbs, and the ref/umpire comes up and shouts "You're out!"

The horse is on it's feet now.

That's good to hear.

Yep the air bags are recent (in the last year)- they plug in to the saddle. There have been quite a few fatalities from rotational falls.

They wait until you are in the ambulance before they tell you
