Grown men (and women) riding standard sized donkeys. With some pretty awful riding, too. Yuck. And not a helmet to be seen, but for once...if they're going to sit on the donkey's loins (almost all of them were) then I have no sympathy for any resultant injuries.
Trawling Youtube and elsewhere to bring you funny, amazing, or just plain bad equestrian escapades.

Had to do it...
Shetland Grand National. The original at Olympia, which has bigger fences.
Such talented kids!

Bounce, Bounce, Bounce...
...gotta love kids jumping their itty bitty ponies over itty bitty jumps!
...mostly, anyway.

Don't try this...
...at home.
This is a horse who's been trained to fall on command - which you might have seen in the movies. Don't worry, he's not hurt!

Let's jump...
...or not.
When something like this exactly happened at a show I was at somebody almost got killed...the horse went through the rope sooner and some idiot tried to grab it by the bridle it was no longer wearing.
In this case, everyone stayed calm, stayed out of its way and let it run back to its temporary stall.

Aww...
Mini horse agility is so much fun to watch. This guy's got his stars and is jumping through his hoops ;).

This may...
...be one of the most adorable things ever. Sadly, he seems to have dwarf traits - but bounce bounce bounce!

Pony tag
She wanted the treats. The human wasn't giving them over ;).
Uh oh, here comes her slightly bigger friend.

...wow.
Oops.
Funny how the commentator somehow didn't notice the little problem in the home stretch here.

That's...
...what I call a well trained horse.
Coming in to the second barrel, the rider drops a rein. Because they're split reins, she has no chance to regain it. She intentionally drops the second rein (which might otherwise pull the horse off course) and just...finishes the pattern without them. Given how many barrel racers seem to use the reins to stay on...impressive.

Oh dear.
Somebody's taking their mini Shetland for a walk. I particularly love the side pass.
Yeah, he's NOT going to be caught.
