I'm in the mood...

...for some mini pony cuteness.



Unfortunately, I found this instead.







Shame the pony isn't strong enough to buck her off.



Don't. Ride. Minis.

Even...

...the person who posted it admits it's a what not to do.







Yes.



Talking on the phone. While on a horse. Smart. Not.

This Is Driving...

...and not easy. The horses are struggling in a couple of places to get through those narrow slots.

Baby A-Rab...

...working out just what his legs are for. Look at that bold little guy.

(He's actually a Pintabian, but close enough).

This Is Why...

...driving on your own is difficult. Possibly even dangerous. The driver has no control, the animal is on the verge of making a hasty exit and is afraid, hence the rearing later. Heading for a wreck, I'm afraid.

I understand the difficulty and I assume that if he had a header he'd be using one, but...

No Rider Needed...

I once knew a pony who was very clear about the fact that her rider's job was to remember the course for her...and nothing else.

This Pony...

...has springs under her hooves.


Connemaras are well known for their amazing jumping talent!

This Is How To Log.

Horse logging is still fairly common in some parts. For selective logging, it's easier than using machines. Most loggers use a single horse - this one is using a team of what I think are Percherons.

I've Been...

...looking for this video for a while.

This kid is having way too much fun.

NASCAR reining for the win!


I particularly love the "pit stop" (Maybe not the best reining sliding stop ever, but...). The donuts are pretty cool too!

Show Off!

Bridleless dressage. Don't try this at home...



Unless you want to put in hours and hours of work, that is. Also, with that movement elevation, she has to have abs of steel to stay on bareback!
