And another...and another...

...have some Draft horses for the end of the year?


Being ridden, pulling plows, pulling wagons, baby draft horses...

Horse Power?

When your truck is stuck in the mud, you probably need a bit more of it.


(Made all the more ironic by the fact that these are, in fact, what the British call "horse boxes" - trucks designed to carry horses around).

How Not...

...to "break out" a horse.


1. No helmet.
2. Horse looks like a yearling.
3. Spurs.
4. Rider using spurs to keep himself on.
5. Did I mention spurs.
6. NO SHIRT?

Bounce, bounce...

Shetlands jumping. And not jumping. (The kids all seemed to need to work on their release, though).

I Won't...

...do this forward. How about backward? Good velcro seat from the rider!

Mom, Mom!

Where are you going mom? What's out there? (Look at the dun line on this boy!)

You Don't...

...need a huge Warmblood to do dressage. Look at this beautiful Welsh Cob.

Oh no...

...you are not catching me. And you are certainly not passing me!


No way is that horse letting that bike past. She's not scared, just playing.

Let's See...

...what's wrong with this picture?


No helmet. Skate shoes. It sounds like the kid's getting a lesson from the older guy.

And the horse decides he isn't having anything of it when the kid decides to go straight to violent kicking.

Or maybe that's not it. Maybe it has something to do with the loose back clinch slipping back and turning into a bucking strap...

Either way, isn't the horse's fault.

So...

...we're going to advertise our jumper baby.

Nice bloodlines. Good looking foal. Nice to see the dam - she's pretty nice too. Ooh, good action on the baby. Pretty star on his head. Yeah. I'll take him...now, question is, can he jump?

Sure he can.

Right out of his pasture to visit the girls next door!

I'm trying to decide if this is a good advertisement or a bad one!

Poor Commentator

The top two finishers are Mywifeknowseverything and Thewifedoesntknow. The commentator is really struggling here.

Ow, ow, ow.

I felt this one. Poor horse. Poor rider too, looked like he hit his face on a pole.

What Not To Do...

Let's jump on the tiny pony, let the dog chase it and wonder why it dumps our butt and leaves the country...
