How not to...

...drive a six in hand.

They were trying for a spectacular show, and messed up. Which can happen when driving at speed.

Nobody was hurt.

Hahaha!

Some people think you should get off to go through tricky spots...


I think that mule is laughing harder than anyone.

Aww...

...this poor foal has no idea what's happening to mommy!


(Actually very smart training).

Oh dear...


I've seen worse, but it looks like the driver was alone, dismounted to head the horses and then lost control when they spooked...

Guess who...

...fell off a horse yesterday. And of course, I had to pick a tall one.

No, I don't have a video of my personal embarrassment, and it wasn't nearly as bad a day as this lady had.


Ow, ow, ow. Gonna go nurse my own bruises now.

Why...

...are we making this tiny little guy jump with a rider again?

Needless to say, the pony decides this is a bad idea.


"You go on without me."

Seriously, the kid is too big to be riding that pony except for schooling and definitely too big to be jumping it.

The problems...

...of riding in the UK. It really is impossible not to ride on the road some to get to any decent place to ride there. Check out how carefully people don't drive around them.

Oops

Mini horses are great at liberty work. This one isn't quite getting it, though.


I'm just going to play chase the human!

Thud!

I guess the grass was very wet.


I've been there. Good on them for not making the horse continue but taking it back for a thorough check...and maybe some studs on his shoes?

Look...

...I don't do reining, but I think I've featured this guy before.

If your horse's nose is in its chest, you are doing it wrong, and every time he touches the reins the reaction is obvious - this horse is way overbitted. Oh, and he almost falls off during a spin.

Okay...

...this is like cognitive dissonance.

A cob.

Reining.


The cowboys are making some jokes, too, but...what a gorgeous beastie.
