Ecovet Presents Mind Your Melon: Bareback Cross Country

Pontus Hugosson may not be great at minding his bottom, but he always remembers to mind his melon.

In his latest vlog, Pontus Hugosson takes on the cross country course — bareback. Originally it was supposed to be bareback and bitless, but after a long training day the day before, just bareback will have to do. Despite his bareback pad being forgotten (and, as one of the videographers points out, is it really bareback if you have to use a pad?), he forges his way forward on the course. We have to admit, we’re impressed with how both he and his horse handle the course — only a few minor bucks, and no one hit the ground.

Happy Wednesday, Horse Nation. Go riding and don’t forget to mind your melon!
