Ow...

...landing on your face always sucks. Landing on a plank off a tall horse...

(I did this recently, but it was from a pony and onto grass, so not nearly as bad!).

Zoom!

They might be small, but they still at least think they can run fast!

Ow!

Her friends were so mean...

...and she's so lucky she wasn't a guy!

Don't...

...try this at home.

Then again, I'm lazy enough to do this!

Well, not that second part. I don't think that barrow is really strong enough... It made a good chariot, though...

Real horses...

..never know how to react to fake ones.

It's just standing there and she gets all offended.

I want cute...

...it's so hot outside that all I want is cute. How about some mini yearlings all primped for the show?

Aww...

...look at these adorably bouncy longears.

Applejack doesn't seem too keen on his job today, but everyone else is having fun.

Oh...

...that thing is so cute. I'm sure it's evil, but...

It's like...

...he aimed at that dip. Oops and OW.

I had...

...a tumble off an evil pony this week, so I've been making myself feel better by watching videos like this:

...you go ahead. I'll wait here.

Oh dear...

...this is why cross country people wear all kinds of protective gear and grease their horse's legs.

Some great stickability in some of these shots.

I just adore...

...scaled down chuck wagon races.

Oops....

...got to hitch it right.

These horses are trained to really throw themselves forward, so if it's not fastened right...

Even...

...the big horses like to play sometimes! Look at them go.

I've...

...had some bad days. Some of them even resemble the bad days experienced by these people.

Dear horse: You are BOTH supposed to go over the jump.

Okay...

...so I'm not fond of Parelli. Here's one of their official videos.

This horse LOVES its owner (presumably, so does the loose dog).

That behavior when the person leaves? That's not love. That's separation anxiety - and it's being encouraged.

I'm hot...

...so this is a great way to cool off.

Wow...

...just wow.

Looks like a somewhat impromptu match race. Both riders are beating their horses, the one on the left (of the camera) is actually worse, but it's the one on the right who uses his whip so many times the horse veers left into the crowd and tramples spectators. This is, of course, why proper tracks have rails, not just...if there's anything between the posts I can't see it and neither could the horse!
