1. You make small bets on this, right? |

The best part was the one that threw his rider and still managed to show.

The video brought a smile to my face. I loved the different colors of the ponies and the bright clothes of the riders. That riderless pony (the one who threw his rider) looked like he was having a great time jumping over hurdles.

4. you can't make a horse |
|
do anything they don't want to do, that is for sure. it does make me a little nervous seeing kids do that kind of thing, but at least those ponies are a little better match than a regular horse.

6. on dial-up so haven't watched the video |
|
but my experience is horses are much safer, in terms of behavior than ponies. Yes they are taller, but ponies often have "little man syndrome" or have been spoiled or mistreated because of their size.

8. well these little buggers seemed stout and reliable. |
|
i suppose lots of clueless people get a "cute little pony", then have no idea how to talk to a horse. but these kids all seemed just like they were ready for a day of hard work on the farm. it's only a couple minutes. worth watching.
