Winter fun!

It might still be fall, but check out these guys playing in the snow.

Of course, they are Iceys...

Ugh...

This is why you don't tie kids to the saddle when they ride!

Her feet were tied to the stirrups so that when the horse went down, she was nearly crushed. If the kid can't stay on without that, they aren't ready to race.

Get 'em cowboy

I particularly love the expression on the long ear's face...I think he wants to play too!

And more aww...

...small horse, large dog!

Aww....

...silly little mule!

This is why...

...polo players wear a lot of protective gear.

Ow, ow, ow.

Aww...

...look at this little cowgirl and her pony go. She rides better than many adult racers I've seen!

(As a note, having a horse decide to do that around a jump standard because she's forgotten she ain't at the rodeo...in an English saddle...is kind of...scary?)

Ow....

Thankfully, neither pony nor rider seemed to be hurt.

Not how you do pole bending. And the poor kid really didn't know how to sit that.

Oh dear...

...what not to do.

Horse rears, rider dang near pulls it over, and then somebody (her coach?) tries to help out...by running up behind the horse. Somehow, he doesn't get kicked.

A little....

...too enthusiastic, perhaps?

She kinda squeaks like I do when that happens...

Oh dear...

I think somebody had to walk home.

Looks like they pulled the bridle off when they fell.

Drill...

...is hard enough in the saddle. In harness?

Plus, look at those little legs go!

Long suffearing mom!

Baby has way too much energy!

Uh...

...I've retrained a barrel horse and she didn't want to jump things supported on barrels. But this horse forgot he wasn't supposed to jump it. I'm guessing he was trained to jump at some point!

Aww....

4 day old baby donkey plays with ball bigger than she is!

Ha...

...not sure who came up with this one.

After being dragged back to the paddock and his jockey, the horse won the race.

More great....

Go Pro action!

Neat...

I haven't found much go pro reining footage.

Okay, so...

...let's gallop flat out on a road. The horse-eating woodpile was only part of the problem here...
