As the horseracing event of the year, the Kentucky Derby, approaches, we have taken on the task of presenting you with the most trending equestrian news on the internet right now. Today, we bring you an adorable girl who tried to cross the river with her horse. What do you think happened?
Equestrian river crossing attempt goes hilariously wrong
There are infinite ways to cross a river, but perhaps navigating a humongous horse through the water is the most arduous, albeit invigorating. A trending video on Facebook shows two little girls trying to ride their horses in the water. It is clear from the video that the two girls are having the time of their lives. But it’s a different story for the horses.
While one horse is seen calmly enjoying the water, the other one, not so much. As one of them frolics in the water, the other one attempts an escape with the girl on his back. The horses’ escape, however, becomes a joyride through the water for the girl. She tries to hold on to the horse but keeps slipping as his back is wet. The joyous screams of the girls can be heard in the video, and it’s evident that they are enraptured with the horses and delighted to wade through the water on horseback.
When the horse nears the shore of the river, the girl, for some reason, takes hold of a rope hanging nearby to prevent herself from falling into the river from the horseback. However, her plan backfires as she does fall into the river when the horse bucks suddenly in an attempt to get onto the dry land. While the little girl struggles out of the water drenched, the horse saunters to the grassy land. It seems that the adventure has made the horse hungry, as it immediately starts to feast on some green grass.
