Video: Portable Shade

“We’ve been wondering how the trampoline kept moving around…”

If you were out in the yard and saw your trampoline walking towards you, what would you think? Perhaps a low-flying UFO… but if you own a pony, perhaps check underneath — that’s how this particular piece of equipment is traversing its paddock, carried calmly on the back of a pony who seems completely unfazed by the fact that he’s bringing his shade shelter with him as he goes.

I’ve never quite understood the relationship between trampolines and horse pastures, but this is certainly not the first time I’ve seen this combination. It is, however, the first time I’ve seen this combination on the move.

They say you carry your light with you. This pony does the opposite, and carries his shade.

Go riding!
