Texas Cowgirl Has Pants Ripped Off By Horse

It could have been a lot worse. 

Sure, the barrel racer in the video below walked away from the incident red-faced, but at least she didn’t get dragged across the arena. In that case, she probably would have ended up in the hospital. 

I say that assuming she wasn’t injured. She doesn’t appear to be, but I’m not 100% sure as the video cuts off with her sitting on the arena floor.

My dad was a cattleman, so I grew up around cowboys, rodeos, etc. So, I have witnessed many people being thrown from horses (and have been bucked off myself). 

But I’ve never seen anything like this. 

Watch as the horse goes down as it rounds the barrel. To the cowgirl’s credit, she hangs on for the first couple of seconds before she finally loses her grip. However, her pants were caught on the saddle horn. 

As the horse gets back up, it rips the pants right off her, spins her around, and takes off running.

Somebody get that woman a drink.
