I Don't Like...

...wild horse racing, but this pony has them right where it wants them.


(At least everyone is wearing helmets, I suppose).

How About...

...taking your horse everywhere?


(When he's this small, you sort of can).

Western Discipline "Master Video".

Nice little run through of the major stuff - English people pay attention.

A quite different police chase...

The horse does not belong to the guy on him. And is completely bombproof...sirens? Whatever. Flashing lights? Whatever. Pepper spray? No big deal.


Seriously, whoever owns this horse has a gem. Thankfully, the animal wasn't hurt.

Showing The Difference

A dressage rider and a cowboy demonstrate the ways of going - side by side. Beautiful.

Ow, ow, ow

This is called a rotational fall.


The ring setup was to fault here. The bales marking the boundary of the lyst (which didn't even seem to be serving any real purpose) were way too close to the barrier, and the horse just tripped over the at full speed.

Also, he should not have been permitted to finish the show. Not without a good check for concussion anyway.
