Get off!

I'm done...


I think that was just over-excited bucking, but hazard of riding bareback!

More draft foal...

...cuteness. Couldn't resist this one. Little vanner baby plus Shar Pei dog!

Angry?


Nope. Not angry. Barn sour. He doesn't want to go away from the gate on his own and has probably learned this behavior intimidates his rider into giving in.

Why...

...loose dogs do not belong in pens with mares and foals.


At first, everything is fine, but then the mare remembers that her foal is about prey size to the dog.

And no, it was not a "bit mean."

Cobs...

...doing what they were meant to do. Look at the feather!

Pony say:

...get this heavy person off me.


Yeah, cheering for the pony this time. Sorry. Not sorry.

This...

...is what happens when a vital harness strap breaks during a horse pull.


The entire harness disintegrated. Fortunately, the loose horse, once he'd got rid of that annoying bridle, just kind of wandered off in typical draft horse manner.

Watching the slow motion, it looks like the strap which broke was a breast strap and without it he pulled straight out of his harness!

I...

...almost got motion sickness from this one. Slowed down go pro of bronc riding.

Oh, this...

...is not how to handle a parade float. Not sure what had them so upset at the start, but after one horse got its leg over the pole, things could only go downhill.


Oh, tip. If you are in the audience and something like this happens. Do not cheer or applaud! That can easily make the situation worse.

They were...

...doing so well, too.

I have a feeling that last rider bought the beer...

Apparently...

...they couldn't get hold of polo ponies. Or mallets. Or a proper ball.


So, they played with what they had. (Note that I don't condone people this big riding standard donkeys, but...)

It's a mini-me...

...but why won't it say hi?


I think he worked out it wasn't real after it fell down and didn't get up.

Monday, September 12, 2016

Why...

...would you even do this? I'm not one to hope for bad things to happen to people, but that pony should kick them.

So what's wrong...

...with this?


Why is this horse bucking? Could it be because the back cinch is too far back? Maybe...

Blind leading...


Five year old kid with a sidewalker that isn't much older demonstrating why you don't let kids lead inexperienced kids on ponies...nope.

It's a...

...giant, horse-eating...


...bird.

(To be fair, he was rather distracted by a friendly pony off screen, but...)
