In this case, the race went badly wrong. Probably, they should have started it with the horses further apart, but most of the field went through the ice on the start.
Don't worry. This video does not show drownded horses. The water beneath the ice was fairly shallow and all of the horses were extricated safely, helped by the fact that none of them panicked. (If you watch the video, the horses are standing on the bottom, not swimming).
The pond they were using is the City Pond in Reykjavik. I honestly thought it was slightly deeper than that, but not much...
But next time, start the display with the horses a bit further apart to spread the weight. Or check your ice better.
