A lesson in desensitisation... (another youtube offering!)

[LauraBR]

Gah, I watched the carriage disaster video posted, and then the racehorse flip one... and now I have wasted ages watching other cringeworthy horsey videos on youtube!

Anyway, I can't resist posting this one as it had me watching agast... how to desensitise your horse, or not...

I'm just impressed they managed to stay on.

I can see no point in why you'd be riding along like that

Why???!!!

Just teaches the horse to run!!! Sort of defeats the object really!!

 

[LauraBR]

VERY well sat, I would have been off for sure!

Reading the comments it seems they were trying to train him to carry a flag across his back... they have posted a longer version showing him doing really well before he flipped and probably developed a fear of plastic sheets that he didn't have before they started! Wonder if they ever got him over it?

The second one I am just pmsl at!!!

It's the all white outfit that does it!!

and the running at the end of the video, I think I need a tena!!!!!

That one is just embarrassingly faked lol!

Cute pony though!

Oh, I saw that. I believe the horse had been working really well for ages (there's another, longer vid) and then just got a bit doolally! Antifaz would've totally, TOTALLY lost the plot

The rider had been preparing the horse to be ridden in a wedding dress (was it on Fugly?)

the second one is great isnt it

of course its a fake, well, kind of, the guy cant really ride all that great and he was doing a little shoot for something else (comedy i think?) anyway they caught that
