How is this amusing?

Some people just don't get it. I did a google search for "funny horses" and I will admit somethings were pretty dang funny.

   But mixed in among these humerus horse follies are some pictures that aren't quite so funny (usually posted by non-horsey people which isn't surprising)

I don't even think that this is real but, um... WTF?!

Lions, tiger bears, oh my! How is an animal scared out of its mind funny?

Not laughing yet?

FACT: Pony rides are cruel

I hate pony rides. The kind that where the ponies are hooked up to a hot-walker and just walk in a circle,  particularly tick me off. Problems with pony rides:
1. Boring life for animals
2. constant circles are hard on joints
3. most that are uses are minis and some Shetlands
   -Shetlands are OK for use with small children but NOT FULL GROWN PEOPLE!
   -minis should NEVER be ridden by anything but an infant
4. most of the pony ride operators have no clue about how to act around horses

Poor things... here are some examples:
BEST EXAMPLE
Watch till the end
not as bad but still bad
radio show ponies
Now THIS is a pony ride! This is OK with me! (and cute...)
so cute!

Fake Whinnies

I spent my entire weekend watching old horse movies. My new favorites include Interational Velvet and Sylvester (both of which I recommend for eventers). I noticed that the further in time one goes back, the more realistic horses on TV become. I know of a show that my friends and I love to watch (yes we love this G-Rated kids show): The Saddle Club. If you are not familiar with the Saddle Club (TSC), then you have missed out! Here are some exapmples of the show, which is from Austrailia.

Best TV series ever right?! I love watching all of the "drama". The one thing that really eats at my skin is the fact that every time a horse yawns a whinny comes out! That is not how it works people!!! horse yawn See! Oh well I guess it can be over looked...
