I don't remember this being posted here before, but correct me if i'm wrong.
this isn't bad_riding, necessarily, but i know there's been many a naughty-pony vs. timid-kid battle posted on here in the past and this one is just as good.
i found this hilarious, personally. the commentary is reallyyyyy dumb, but the fact that these guys stick out so ( Read more... )

the weird looking halter is a something from south america, i think. Its a traditional gaucho halter, i've seen them in bridle form too. I have a custom one for my breyers.

Is the bowing horse the same as the rearing one? Yes...let's get on the horse that's been trained to rear in a barn with low clearance.

The buckskin ponni in the first picture is an FEI-level champion from The Netherlands. Anyways, there was a huge shit-fit that broke out when a French dude took photos of the stallion at the 2007 European Pony Championships. He was in such tight side-reins that he was, of course, hyperflexed and just begging to be outed, so the pictures were published in a magazine and the it was also over the dressage media. The media was all over it, and the owners actually made a statement in a press release citing their intent. They were apparently aiming for a new personal best that day (a seventy-six), so they hyperflexed the living fuck out of him (Extra flex = extra sevens and eights ( ... )

wow, thanks! so much information. i probably should have known this, but i didn't. i don't keep up with dressage drama very well because the whole LDR thing just depresses the fuck out of me. i have recently, however, been really supportive of astrid appels so i'm just starting to read eurodressage and the like.
but yeah, i knew the picture had been around, just never saw it here (to my knowledge) and never knew the story behind it. this is all extremely interesting though. the owners sound like dipshits.

Sorry, but I found the commentary in the first video hysterical. Especially since the pony has a Canadian acccent.

Same! That voice is the same one we use for most of our horses whenever they get commentary on them. In specific I can remember one of them screaming at a gallop up to the fence, going "OHS&#T" and sliding to a stop near on his ass....my instructor just quips, in that voice, "I'm a REINER!"

fusaichipegasus August 30 2010, 17:29:28 UTC

Yeah same. "see, thats my new owner, looks like he's having fun too right."

kookaburra1701 August 30 2010, 19:01:47 UTC

Yeah, and also, I can't help but root for them - I was that hopelessly outclassed kid on the mean, shaggy horse at the show at that age. Got a soft spot for the underdog, what can I say.

Canadian douchebag pony has me in stitches. OMG.

"I wanna look at this, it's EDIBLE!"

"THis is boring. I wanna eat them green things!"

"Where's my budday!?"
