Looks like they made it onto Fugly :/

The comments as usual have been very opinionated, a lot were saying it was the riders fault and some thought he should still be on the lead rein!!! I have to disagree I think he was fab, sure he has faults. But I bet most were from riding rank pony!!

As a parent I could never put my kid through that though, I'm glad he has a nice pony now and Ed has a new career.
 
completely stupid! wtf are the parents doing- it is very dangerous and hes lucky he didnt break his neck, yes that child is fearless- i was at that age untill i fell of, was dragged by my ankles and broke something, realised it wasnt a safe hobby and gained a reality check!

Horrid little git!!! but these are the ponies that teach kids to RIDE!!! One thing I noticed and am noticing alot in the "naughty pony" vids on youtube is that saddles are fitted way to far forward - the riders seem to be sitting on the withers all the time.....no wonder they can't go forwards and stretch properly - I always want to shove many a saddle back a good few inches!!
 
Had a chuckle at first ...cute factor and all that, but when I continued to watch it actually made me cringe, thankfully the little personage didn't get injured, I couldn't stand there with a video camera filming them both knowing the pony was going have the child off at every opportunity.

But what little star the rider is....reminded me of a young Geoff Billington they way they sat there proud as punch at the start of the vid, bless em.
 
LMAO
:D:eek::D:eek:
I was cringing and laughing all the way through that!!
I remember riding some ponies like that when i was young - but not that young!!
I found the second video funnier - pony was behaved but then....oops!
She must have felt like a right wally!
:D
 
Video was hilarious. Ok, we can all say irresponsible parents, etc but that kid obviously had balls and i bet that pony will make him a fantastic rider. Lets be honest everything is going to be easy after Ed.

One of the best young riders I know had a terribly naughty pony as a child, now, at the age of 18 she has got a home produced mare (all done by herself) upto BE novice level and is winning regularly and is now aiming for intermediate by then the end of this year. If I could ride like that at her age then I would be grateful for my naughty little pony that taught me how to be a real rider and more importantly, how to stick to a seat.
 
omg, I was laughing the whole way through that lol. Bless him, his little face, chuckling away! Just proves kids really do bounce!

What a complete little sh** that pony is though, echo someone else, small, competent teenager needed on that to sort it out!!
 
Good on Ross, Pony is an evil little gitbag. Everytime he gets Ross off he stands over him looking pleased with himself!
 
oooh we had a welshie called joey who was a spitting image in every way to Ed!!cheeky little sod who knew all the tricks in the book!!
nevr did me any harm ;)
 
What a horrid little pony. Agree with whoever said "Small adult and an a** kicking"!

Very pleased to read he has a new pony now, he's a lovely little rider, hope he does well in the future :)
 
amazing jockey, :O :O
and to the people that said they wouldnt put someone on a pony like that. when i was 8 i rode a shetland at my aunties and it was horrible it would tank and buck but i loved it and i rode it even though it was naughty ad its changed my riding.
That ponies naughtiness has probably made that boy the good rider he is.

What a fab little jockey, totally unfazed but devil pony's antics!! He has lovely hands when the pony is doing its rocking horse bit near the start.

Have to admit to laughing a couple of times, that little boy is great!

Thats exactly my view too. As a mother of 4 younguns there is NO way on this earth that I would allow them to ride a pony like that. In the vid, we watched a very small child get stood on, entangled in stirrups and upside down, bolted with etc etc.. That may well be a fab little kid but what STUPID parents. I hope the child now rides a safer mount which he has a half chance of staying on.

As the mother of a 7 year old with a little grey Welsh pony, I have to say I completely agree. I would NOT put my young child on a pony that rears and bucks like that ever.

What struck me, more than anything, was how rarely someone seems to go to the boy's aid, even when the pony is rolling and he's asking what the pony is doing, the camera is never put down. Don't understand that at all. What parent wouldn't want to go to the aid of their child that's being dragged by a pony and why would you ask the lead horse to canter across the diagonal like that when you already know the pony is going to buck the child off when that happens? It did seem it was done to secure video clips.
 
Can't believe how naughty that pony was, he threw in every trick in the book! The boy was very brave and a good little rider- also sweet that he loved the pony regardless & wouldn't let it go!
 
I can see what you guys are saying, that this pony will have made him a better rider yada yada yada, but if that boy was say 13 and he was on a small horse it would be classed as 'dangerous' etc etc not 'funny/cute'. That pony is vile! I don't get how people think it's funny when a pony behaves like that but when a horse does it...

Good job that the boy took it all in his stride and wasn't fazed by the little ****!

Sorry to be a downer but that really made me wince a few times, especially when he had his feet stuck in the stirrups :o

Agreed, this is a child we are looking at here not a crash test dummy. Having had my son come off his sec A when he was little and then have to have major orthapedic surgery for a completely shattered arm, followed by a week in hospital, another op to remove the wires and a year of follow up physio etc, all I can say is that the child in the video is incredibly lucky. Our sec A is a fantastic lead rein pony, but a little sod off it and now I won't let any child ride him off the lead rein unless they are almost too big for him and very experienced and even then I watch him like a hawk (he gets a look in his eye and squeals just before he does anything - it is pure naughtiness, he is totally sound etc.).

I can't believe there are people who found this video funny. That is one dangerous pony and it seemed to get more and more dangerous over the course of the video. I can't imagine what the parents were thinking, plonking that kid back on the pony and picking up the video camera. Under what other circumstances would you ever allow a child to be repeatedly put at risk of so serious an injury? Would you let a child cycle on the motorway and laugh every time a car swerved?
