#THURSDAY VIDEO | HORSE NATION

The annual sighting of the Headless Horseman occurred at Keeneland over the weekend. (more…)

There are fitness gurus… and then there’s us. (more…)

Jim Gaffigan shared his thoughts on horseback riding in one of his recent stand-up routines. For those of us who do ride, this is hilarious. For those who don’t ride (who even are you?), this is hilarious.

As equestrians, we’ve definitely gotten the questioning looks and clear lack of understanding from our friends and family. Gaffigan puts a voice to those looks.

Happy Thursday, Horse Nation. Go riding!

… and Snoop knows it. (more…)

This one cuts deep…

… or at least this one does.

… oh wait. Mine does. (more…)

A jump off is always exciting to watch, but this video shows an awesome side-by-side comparison of a jump off, highlighting the importance of stride and turns. Both these riders and horses have incredible skill and it’s amazing how close it ends up being.

Happy Thursday, Horse Nation. Play to your strengths and go riding!

This takes trail riding to level 1000. (more…)

Okay, this kid and her horse = goals. 🙌 (more…)

This horse and rider pair might have invented a new sport. (more…)

Funny because it’s true… (more…)

It’s me. I’m the equestrians in this reel. (more…)

We cant get enough of the Hangover-themed costumes these riders wore. (more…)

… or at least one of them. (more…)

In the past we’ve shared videos of people competing their horses bridle-less. Usually, however, it’s due to a mishap on the course — the bridle somehow malfunctions and breaks or falls off, and the rider and horse amazingly complete their round. It makes all of us take a deep breath and think, “Whew!” But this one is a bit different. In this round at WEC in Ocala, FL, Brendan Wise completes a round on his horse Lyric in just a neck rope — and it’s freaking awesome! We should all aspire to ride this smoothly and with this level of connection.

Happy Thursday, Horse Nation. Go riding!

… not a problem. (more…)

As winter releases its grip on us, we want to pay homage to this rad winter sport. (more…)

Some horses just have to make sure things stay interesting. (more…)

A horse is a horse, of course, of course.
And no one can talk to a horse of course.
That is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mister Ed! (more…)

At the end of last year, TLC shared this video from My Strange Addiction. In it, we meet Nicole, a woman whose passion is pony play. There’s a lot to unpack here, but at the end of the day, you do you, man… (more…)
