Tuesday Video: ‘Come On, Brian!’

If you have a horse like Brian, there’s no need worry when three need to get worked but you only have two riders…

Our race-training friends in Australia and New Zealand seem to have no shortage of amazing videos from training on the beach — see Exhibit A, this gorgeous drone video, or Exhibit B, the ever-popular swim-the-racehorse-with-the-dolphins routine — but this one might just take the cake as our new favorite.

Nek Minnit, known to his friends as “Brian,” is a true professional when it comes to training — he knows the routine so well that he doesn’t even require a rider to go for his morning jog on the beach. I’ve done some pretty far-out things in my horse life, but this never would have occurred to me!

Well, those Thoroughbreds are just so wild and crazy that you can’t trust them to do anything… said no one who had ever actually ridden one. Brian, you’re a star. Don’t ever change.

Go riding!
