Yes, I saw it on RateMyHorsePro.com and it was sad, because he was walking and went sideways and you saw the collapse and the owner getting off and taking the reins away.  People rushing in to help.  I think the owner was in such shock, he did not realize what was occurring.  But, it was not an injury.  He had something internal and it is believed to be a heart attack.  

The rest of the riders stopped the show.  They did a silent time for the horse and owner.  

But, it could happen on a trail ride to the rider or the horse.
