I don't liiike red!

Horse jumps perfectly fine until they get to the red wall.


Then it tries to kick the course steward, nopes out of being caught seriously. Second rider tries.

Something is going on with this horse. Mouth, perhaps?

Making the horse do another round after its behavior after the fall, which to me indicates an animal in pain, with a heavier rider, seems...well...inappropriate.

Nope!

No, I won't go through that gate!


This is pretty bad, dangerous gate sourness. Horse could probably use more cross training. He ran fine, but he really didn't want to...

You go ahead...

...I'll wait right here.


This was the rider's fault...the horse was just not set up well for the fence.

Not...

....how you handle your horse stopping.


I don't know what caused the horse to nope out, although that's an awkward looking fence with no ground line.

But the rider was out of line.

Appytude...

Especially, for some reason, chestnut appies. From the name, she's a mare too.

Prance, prance, strut, strut, wind...

I blame the wind for this little display...and once one starts fidgeting, they all do.

Ow, ow, ow....


This is why they put grease on cross country horses. That, right there.

That ain't...

...no horse. Great view, but I have to mock the person who posted this video and labeled it "Horseback riding."

Not how...

...to catch a loose horse.


They keep crowding him and wondering why he's kicking. You send ONE person to get the horse.

Mom...

...is so patient.


Baby has so much energy and would probably like to meet the other horses watching over the fence.

So cute.

Ooh...

...look at my spins. Okay, let's do this again...except with a bit less tack.

What's That?

It's a cat, of course...


Poor little foal has no clue what to do with this strange fuzzy critter, but he's really brave!

I'm done...

...and going back to the barn.


Not sure whether he was just barn sour or whether he was mad about hitting that standard...
