Sideways!

It's called fanning!

Don't do this...

I don't normally repost this trainer because of his attitude towards helmets, but, no, don't let your horses stick their heads out on the highway. Equine eyes are very vulnerable!

This is hilarious...

Mr Dog...

...don't hassle the foalie.

What are those things?

The dogs aren't entirely sure...

The longear really isn't sure at all.

Oh dear, no tweaking the tail...lucky he didn't get kicked.

Just wow...

Horse slips. Rider hits horse for slipping. Horse rears. Horse is still sliding.

It is absolutely not your horse's fault if the going is slippery, and you should think about it before you compete, and during. I'm almost annoyed she didn't fall off. Didn't check the horse, either.

Because...

...there have to be Shetlands.

What IS that?

Baby horse not sure about funny striped horse.

What a mess!

First horse goes down, harness drags second horse down as first horse struggles up...and we end up with stacked horses.

Fortunately, they're very calm!

It's...

...always the little guys in charge.

Well sat!

The rider handles it very well.

But, this horse is showing high levels of tension through the neck, jaw and poll. He is also striding short behind. He's possibly out in both the poll and the sacro-lumbral joint. Chiropractor?

What...

...did that camel do to you? Maybe he said something while out of frame?

This...

...is a bit of a what not to do.

When the girl on the bay pony loses control, the other people in the ring should have pulled up to give her a much better chance of stopping. Then you repeat the exercise.

Non-horsey reporter...

...learning to handle Thoroughbreds. Hee.

This is...

...sportsmanship.

You have to watch it fairly carefully, but the jockey in the yellow silks loses his reins, a disaster in a horse race. (It could have caused a wreck). The jockey in the pastels uses his whip to push them back towards his hands.

I'm In Charge!

I mean, so what if I'm closer in size to the dog...

The donkey definitely has a different opinion on this matter.

Nope...

...nope. We are not going back so you can hitch us up properly. Nope nope.

No sympathy...

Mule no like rider. Mule let rider know.

This charming individual, who is too big for the mule, decides to yank its head around to his knee for no reason.

Mule bucks. He seems surprised.

Additionally, the crupper is so loose it's achieving nothing. Breastplate is also too loose. Saddle is too big.

Horses complain more subtly. Mules, yeah, they'll let you know.
