"The shorter a pony, the closer it is to hell" -someone

As someone who rides a 17'2 hand tall Percheron mare... I love ponies and I have met and ridden a lot of good ones but there's just something about riding a literal tank of a horse that makes me feel so happy inside.

This might just be the most relatable video EVER, i own a pony and a horse and I laughed through this entire video. Especially when it came to “how it feels when the pony canters”😹😹😹I’m dying over here

Your horses look like they think you've lost your mind..."Who are you talking too??" 😄 Love your videos! Bought your course 👍👍

2:19 lollll the way tucker just turns and looks like he saying "what!!! you liar!"

“Pony’s are evil” always makes me think of that phone commercial from a long time ago where the girl gets a backyard pony and it eats the dog house.

Pony rider cantering horse: "woah, did you see that extension?!" horse rider observing: "he looked a little short strided there..." (totally not a true life story or anything.... 😂😂😂😂)

Storytime: My first time working for lessons, my trainer had all the horses in the arena. At the time, I'd only ridden 2/5, and didn't know any of them super well. In addition to the horses, there was a Shetland colt (maybe 6 months) and his mom. She left me alone with all of them for a few minutes. Obviously, I went for the colt first. He was so little and cute I thought he was smelling my pockets for treats, and accidentally nibbled me. When my trainer came back, she asked, "Has Derby tried to bite you yet?" "So that's what he's doing!" I replied, then explained my assumption. "Nope. Ponies are evil. Closer to the ground, closer to-" A few weeks later, the same pony kept taking the reins from me when I was riding in a pasture. My sisters think they're adorable (which they 110% are, no disputing that), saying, "I love ponies!!" I keep responding with, "You wouldn't think so if you spent some time with them!" -Laura C.

As someone with an Icelandic, I must say that the spooking part is, in my experience, completely the contrary. Most horses run away, completely losing their head, while my Icelandic flinches, takes a look, thinks "Oh! Okay, won't eat me, let's just carry on" and that's it. Only thing that truly scares him is fire. Okay, and drones. And...he does have a VERY good, comfortable trot - all it took was good training.

The trotting / spook on a horse vs on a pony had me in stiches 🤣🤣 Great video!!

😂😂😂 Ponies are just so much more convenient! You don't need a mounting block, you can always reach their head, if you fall off you're only two feet off the ground so it won't hurt and they're so much easier to keep! lol (But yes, I would like to have my horse in every size 😂 )

Am I the only one who "thumbs up" the video before it started because I know im going to love it 😂

the spider thing reminded me of that time when I went trail riding with my small friend on her small fjord, while I, being already a head taller than my friend, went on a tb that was the tallest horse in the barn. so the difference in height was comical, up till the point where my friend didn't even have to avoid all the branches that forced me to basically lie down half the ride, then it wasn't so funny for me

This is hilariously accurate! my friend has an old pony and I have a young quarter horse, dynamics are the same 🤣 She'll take a 1/2 ft vertical and thinks it's like 3 ft high! 🤣

This looks so funny! I have not watched it to much yet, I was at a camp with a 16 hand horse, and everybody else's, horses were smaller, so I could get all the good fall leaves!♡😂

'ponies are evil I'll stay away from them' cracked me up 🤣🤣

*15.1, I mean he's still Big* 😄 ... this was awesome. All of it, Made my day.

Funny! Although my experience is that the spooking is opposite, the horses spook, and you're in another county or have your head stuck between the top branches of a tree. The pony, just bounces up and down in place.

“Well we did it in 7”. That cracks me up every time 😂

Lmfao as a draft horse owner I'm out here like, "sorry I don't ride anything under 16 hands 😬🤧"

"We got it in 3 strides! " "We got it in 7."

The cantering on a pony part is so relatable 🤣

Ponies have silly stuff on their mind. I like it

So true! I did a video a while back training an auction rescue pony to jump. All. The. Stereotypes. 🤣

i feel the "Get your head down! Get your head down!"

Even tho i'm a poy girl, ponys are EVIL. That is confirmed 😆

🤣🤣🤣THIS IS SO TRUE! i am so the pony girl, the crazier the better!

This is so hilarious! I love this! Thanks for sharing this!

My mother has suggested getting a pony, to which my response is "our new place is in the country, I need a horse to get around".

When my horse gets spooked he usually gets that jump scare lol

Really felt the trotting pony one AAHHAAHHA

Great video!! Just like always! 😂😁

„Ponys are evil!“ 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

“What’d you get?” “Oh yeah we did it in 7” That is so accurate for me 😂

Really love your videos 😍😍😍

Your pony gets grass ?! We foundered on the dry lot 🤣 !

My favorite part was the trotting 🤣 I have a 14.3 horse and a 14 pony and I feel both those trots but love ❤️ love 💕 both my mates very funny video great job so much truth 😂

I love Tucker. he is so relaxed.

Love love love my 11.2 hand pony but he sure thinks hes tough business! I bought him for my daughter but he’s my lil man! Ive always had big horses but now that I’m an old Mom with bills to pay I appreciate his closeness to the ground. However…. The trot is brutal! 🤣

Haha, so FUNNY! I love your videos! I love horses, I one too. Tucker is a really good boy

2:02 was just the funniest!

“Look guys I found this cute little pony bridle is so small 🥺“

Tucker is good actor now 🐴😂

This is hilarious 🤣 Literally i love it 🤣🤣

I’ve never ridden a pony but I drive both a pony and a horse cart and let me tell you, I could fall asleep while the horse is cantering and I feel like I’m in Ben-Hur when the pony is walking.

Me watching my pony sparky: wow he must own the pasture Chub being put in the pecking order: AHHHHHHHHHHHH RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is brilliant 😂

When my horse spooks she has all of her feet up in the air not even kidding, mares.

😂the best video ever!!

Ponies just feel so much faster!

Funny but also informative! 👍

The point about spooking is that ponies usually spook less. And while horses are all wound up for at least 15 minutes, Ponies usually forget what scared them after 10 seconds. 😁

The sweet pony I ride is absolutely the best. He’s so calm, doesn’t spook and is a perfect gentleman, however I know of other ponies who are just the opposite

THE TROTTING ONE LMAOOO I like riding both ponies and horses, although i DEFINITELY prefer a horse trot..

Happy Friday : )

Love your videos ❤️🤩

Lol I actually understood a few of those. 😄

These are hilarious 😂

"oh my pony goes after all the other horses" BRO THATS MY HORSE . SHES FRICKEN EVIL

This is so accurate! The spooks, jump height, and pasture habits especially! The strides are jot for my pony because he can make a 5 stride a 3 XD

I had a pony(14.1) and a Morgan mix(~15) on winter lease last year. The Morgan had a relatively smooth trot, but I did prefer cantering on the pony more than the morgan.

The first one is relatable I sometimes ride a 14.2hh pony and we were jumping and other people just stepped over it and we jumped really high

I have a 16.2 ottb and a 13.3 quarter/appaloosa lol 🤣 it's definitely different going back and forth

When you have a ✨ pony like horse ✨

I love your vids! I love Lil More Ponys But i still love horses too

Nice video!

Iv had both a pony and a horse and this video is so true!

Hey! I just found your channel about a week ago, I love your training style videos. I have a horse focused youtube channel and I was wondering if you had any tips on how I could get my channel growing. 🙂

TUREE TUREEE TUREEE AHHHHHH

I asked my friend to hold my dead head 15.2 mare and she was absolutely terrified because the horse was so big!

Why is this so true? 🤣🤣🤣

My favourite horse in my stable is pretty tall and she always lifts her head up really high when I try to put the bridle on😭

I ride both horses and ponies, but I don’t have a preference 😂

Are you able to make some videos about gaited horses? I am a new rider and have a Rocky Mountain. Thank you! 🐎🤠

Love from Italy ❤️🐎😘❤️

I have a a welsh ponh and pretty sure thoroughbread cross and when she trots or canter it is SMOOTH. Lol

I had a bad fall off a pony as a beginner rider My pony spooked for no apparent reason in the middle of a lesson with a large ride, galloped around the arena and eventually right at the gate where it abruptly jumped sideways. I flew straight at the gate and bashed into the top bar face first. Miraculously nothing broken but some teeth. Since then I’m in the horse camp.

Haha! I ride a pony and all she does is boss around all the other animals! This is so true tho!!

I first learned to canter on a pony when I was seven, and I still love ponies. Do I prefer them over horses? No. Have a seen my fair share of bites from a pony? I indeed have. Do I still love them? Yes, I do.

I own and rode 5 ponies and 3 horses, this is 100% accurate 😂

Yep I ride and have both and this is true🤣

My horse spooks like a pony though 😂 She's a 17.2hh dramaqueen 🦄👀

Ah yes, I've given up trying to buy used girths, all too big

That pony look a lot like my pony, Geiko💕🐴🤩

I've ridden 13.2 h pony and a 16.5 horse. Wanting a 19.0 Percheron mare. I like them big.

Hilarious! So true!

Why is this whole video so ture😅 I ride ponys and horses and I get both of these!

Omg hahaha tgis is all soo true and relatable

Im adult but I have two larger ponies...love them. Much better than horses 😂

I remember watching this before I got a pony… I was like the horse person

I'm fine with either 😂 I used to ride a pony and her trot was actually very smooth lol it definitely was a lot easier to put the bridle on! I would say I'm used to being around ponies more though

Snowcap appaloosa ^^ i have a black version of tucker and her name is beauty

It’s so true 🤣 miss my Welsh Pony though

Me riding a 17.2 hand black stallion! Oh this is painful

I just got an ottb hes awful thin what would be a safe way to put weight on him ?hay grass and grain I give him now ,

I have times when I think I should have just got my daughter a horse instead of a pony. But after her pony id say she is qualified to ride almost anything.

I have a pony, but he is big and has big strikes and everything but he still spooks like a pony🥲

Omg I love your horse! He’s so pretty! What type is he? I’m guessing Appaloosa

I think I just bought that same red barn jacket

I used to own a horse and we boarded her at our friends house. She acted so much like a pony. Our friends actually did get a pony at some point and he avoided her lol
