Just saw this on youtube and was a bit . What a tolerent horse! (starts about a min in)

Well some of those kids could certainly loose a stone or two before inflicting themselves on the poor animals.

Having said that the horses all look in great shape, and quite happy.

not amused

Looks like a bunch of belly flopping whales.

Looks like a bunch of belly flopping whales.

HAHA!

I must admit that I don't approve of the kids diving off the horses backs!

 

[StrawberryFields1]

Haha cant say I really noticed their weight just shocked that someone would use their horse as a launch pad (and that the horse would let them)!

 

[Paint Me Proud]

i must admit i was thinking 'oh it's not that bad' but the more i watched them diving off the horse the more i wanted to shout 'Careful of their backs!'

How much damage is that doing to the horse's back? I just shudder when seeing them as they push down and jump and seeing the horse's hindquarters dip.

Well my son went riding in same area when we were there in may, never did things like that cos of pos gators in the water!!!! I was very impressed with the place we went to, I went in a wagon that followed the horses. We took own hats and boots. Should imagine they know those horses well and are locals.

I would happily use my horse as a diving board But I wouldn't let multiple children who may (or may not..) be a bit plump or unbalanced do so Those horses must be saints though!!

well I guess they are pretty lucky not to have any dead ones from a swift kick to the head jumping off the back like that but natural selection and all that.
