This year’s Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo’s Pony Express relay went viral for an unexpected reason. One Pony Express rider was galloping along a Texas highway at top speed when he whacked into a road sign and was flung from his horse. A vehicle passenger was recording when the shocking moment occurred, and now the internet is having a heyday. We just hope that rider is OK!

Several outlets have shared the viral video, including Texas news account The806er. In the footage, an unknown woman is recording from the passenger side of a vehicle. “Wooo, Pony Express!” she says as she films the rider galloping alongside the highway with a police escort. Then, well, you just have to watch.
