Aww...

...apparently the baby got over the railing and mom couldn't.

(Guy got lucky, mind, he could have been foal-kicked, which hurts).

So calm...

...so relaxed...

...right.

Liberty training...

...goes wrong. Now if we can get him to do that on cue and under saddle!

Ow, ow, ow...

Not going to judge the rider here for accidentally pulling the pony over in this situation. Horse eating branch!

This...

...is some pretty good riding.

Catching a loose horse from horseback is a tricky maneuver.

Donkeys are scary!

I've been there - never a good feeling, but that donkey is just...what? WHAT?

Best thing for traction on snow?

Four hooves!

Not sure the guy in the ranger was helping, mind...

Dang...

...okay, this is the kind of thing I might have done as a kid, but...taking horses to a playground. Baling twine as a curb chain...I think it's baling twine, it looks awfully blue.

What the...

...I have no clue what's going on with this "training method." Nobody in the comments seems willing to explain why dragging a rope against the horse's genitals is going to teach it not to kick...

I wish...

...that I could stop featuring these guys, but really.

This time it at least wasn't poor horsemanship, just an equine klutz. Didn't even spook, wasn't anything for it to trip over. I've ridden that horse...

Just because...

...your car is vintage doesn't give you a license to do this:

Fortunate that was a well behaved horse. And...oh for...you know, they aren't supposed to ride on the sidewalk. Give space.

This is...

...so cute. Look at the little guys pretending to be great big draft horses.

Soooo much attitude!

I hope...

...that the ice is thick enough for this.

Oh dear...

...that horse apparently decided it was done. I don't see or hear what spooked it, but ow.

This...

...is what you do when you see somebody on the road having difficulty with a horse.

He stopped, he shielded the incident from other traffic, people stopped to help. Not quite sure how the accident happened - young horse spooked? But having that car there between the horse and other traffic probably helped.

Ack...

...horse eating monster! I've been there...

Gotta love the Equine Lateral Teleport. Not.

I'm Sort of Jealous...

...of these people thundering down the beach.

Oh dear...

Are they actually showing horses in a completely open field with no fence at all and people warming up? Looks that way...

...and the results are pretty predictable. Sigh.

Even draft horses...

...can't handle confetti cannons too well.

Fortunately, everyone stayed calm and got the big boys back under control.
