Changing of the...

I've never been hugely impressed by the training of the horse guard.

Lots of very loud legs, and eventually the horse standing at the side of the gait decides he's had enough.

It's captioned "Angry horse" but I don't quite see anger here, I see a horse who just doesn't want to stand there while his buddies go off. And the rider's legs aren't quiet, aggravating it. But I think he's being a wee bit buddy sour. Or he's bored.

Zooom!

See, I can work out how the legs work!

Great music choice, too.

Who thought...

...racing horses against motorcycles in a small arena was a good idea? These people, that's who.

Actually, it works pretty well until the third one where a horse freaks out and vacates the premises.

Or maybe it was just regular brake failure and she was trying to stop it by riding into the wall.

I realize...

...you can't have tiny kids break in your tiny pony, but find somebody who's legs don't touch the ground on either side?

Mom...

...mom? What's going on?

This foal doesn't know how to react to mommy being ridden. (Good training for the baby).

Across the road...

...and off the cliff. Somehow this looks much scarier than when I did it...

Felt like...

...some big guys today ;).

Horses...

don't like jumping, right?

Right.

Aggressive?

Nah...he just wants to run!

Prance, prance, prance. Somebody give that horse something to do ;).

Hilarious?

Let's "lunge" our kid helmetless with a halter and a long leadrope, and wonder why the kid falls off.

Oops,..

Sit back ;)

I don't buy...

...that this is a 10,000 pound load, it's probably half that, but...

...this is...

...one way to recycle of your old horse trailer. I'm mostly posting this for the gorgeous vanners pulling their own horse trailer into a field.

Not sure...

...I'd try this with most horses!

I don't...

...normally post compilations, but let's see.

Footage #1, horse goes crazy because dog is herding it.

Footage #2, horse goes crazy because...

You get the picture.

It's labeled bucking horses but half of them are "Why you don't ride in an arena with a loose dog" or "Tie up your blasted dogs you idiot"

How to load...

...more like how not to. Let's load inexperienced yearlings into a high step up trailer in the middle of a parking lot. They got away with it - nice horses - but.

Stalk, stalk...

...pounce.

...I think that cat needs to be evicted from the arena.

Aww...

...and a tiny steed learns to go straight between the shafts. Bump, bump...

Brand New Haflinger...

...learns to give mom some room.
