It looks like Walter Feldman to me, but I'm not sure.

I guess horses and ponies can trip over about anything, but I'd be checking for 
a reason for a trip that big, especially on what seems to be flat, groomed 
track.   The worst horse we ever had to trip was Big Mac.  For the first year 
or two we had him, as he was recovering from his Big Lick days, he'd trip over 
about anything.   Once his feet were back in balance, not too long, the 
tripping stopped.   I can't say for sure that's the issue with this horse, but 
anytime I see one trip this badly, I wonder if the horse is lame, or if his 
feet are way too long, or way out of balance.
