Take me to the rodeo...

Poor horse has been on stall rest too long. I'd have chased him around first.

Apparently...

...this cob doesn't enjoy dressage that much.

Not sure what set him off, but it was escalated by the rider's inability to sit a crowhop without jabbing him with the spurs.

Wow...

...sometimes cops are, I swear, dumber than the average person.

Apparently, the carriage was illegally parked. So the cop pulls up lights and sirens blaring. If those horses weren't utterly bombproof and desensitized, he could have got somebody killed. Somehow, not one of the horses on the street spooked. Such saints. Apparently, this is in Melbourne, Australia.

Ow...

This is why you wait for the horse to calm down before attempting to catch it.

Actually, this might be the end result of somebody who made a habit of beating her horse when she fell off. My apologies for the language. Wow.

Oh dear...

...two examples of "top" riders doing it wrong.

The dressage rider is yanking and spurring.

The jumper loses his temper and beats his horse for refusing. Which he probably did because Talbot gave him no place to go.

Oh, come on...

...let's do some kind of weird equitation class with two people per horse...and not expect it to end like, well...

This...

I mean, one: What's the point.

Two: Hitting the horse was really quite unnecessary. The horse didn't even buck.

Revenge!

The vet is here to give their shots. This silly pony has an idea for payback...

Yeah.

Little guy ate the vet's lunch.

What's better...

...than a miniature horse doing liberty?

Why, two miniature horses doing liberty together, of course!

Zoom!

See! I can jump! At full speed, even!

Kid needs to work on her form. Pony is a speed demon and a saint rolled into one.

Pet me!

...and the horse obliges.

Sit on your...

...honestly, I'm posting this for the instructor's, uh, phrasing as much as anything else.

Horse Eating...

...dressage boards. Oh dear.

 Well sat. But what set him off?

Tantrum...

They all went on a trail ride without me! Not fair!

Zoom!

...as fast as her little Shetland legs will carry her!

Oh dear.

Spoiled horse being fixed. Great example of "trope" going on.
