Look What I Don't Need...

...pay attention at about 0:45 when the horse lands a bit roughly...

Woman has a great seat and thighs of steel.

Gotta Love...

...Shetlands gaming!

Look at those little legs go!

This Is...

...why you get out of the way of loose horses.

Rar!

It's a lion tamer.

No, wait, it's a gladiator.

Freestyle liberty with mini horse. I love it. (He's a little unsure of his mane in places).

This Horse Is Spooking...

...in time to somebody else's music.

Moral: Make sure your barn has a stereo...

Watch Those Legs!

...or not, they're blurring!

This is being captioned as a mini horse, but I'm pretty sure it's actually a (very fit) classic Shetland pony...having way too much fun with her little rider!

Hrm...

If your horses are bucking this much, there's probably a reason for it.

If it was just one horse, I'd say she just had a "wild" one, but I think there's something she's doing to set them off - saddle fit, maybe?

Ever Wondered...

...what going flat out on a good TB looks like? Here you go.

Ow!

Get out of my pasture, you monstrous...

...chicken.

Splash!

The slightest misjudgment...

Nicely trained horses, though.

Seen Worse, But...

I've seen worse ways to train the piaffe than what this woman is doing, but...

You should never get that close behind the horse when teaching something new on the long reins. She's lucky he doesn't kick her when he gets anxious, which he clearly is at a couple of points - natural for a horse learning something new.

Poor, poor horse...

Something happened to make this guy so afraid of the farrier that he reacts like this...

Don't...

...don't...

...DON'T...

Sympathy, I have none. He's lucky not to have been killed.

A bit...

...of mounted games fun. The kids seem to be enjoying themselves and that itty bitty Shetlandy thing is so cute.

Mary King, demonstrating her velcro seat.

All...

...the queen's horses and all the queen's men...

That's a hot of horses on the move.

Not all of them are happy about it, either.

I Love...

...what this woman does.
