Showing that it's not about speed, but stamina.. The others started to get tired, which means that the others don't need to be fast, just lasting longer..
Lmaoooo, they look as it they are going really slow, but you can hardly see their little legs and their speeding off into the distance lmaoooo I'm dead🤣🤣🤣😵😵
Shetlands are incredibly strong and those kids look like they weigh nothing. You forget Shetlands can easily pull two fully grown adults in harness at ease.
I love how people are outraged when professional racers on bigger horses race and they say they are killing horses, but when kids on ponies race they say its cute etc. does they think the pony cannot be hurt or killed on races like that or what? For now all i see is hypocriting.
I am convinced that the organizers knew the winner's abilities perfectly and applied a small handicap so as not to humiliate the less gifted. they are still children in competitions for fun.
Tell that to the Japanese. They think the horse is a delicacy. My daughter went to a lunch meeting with some higher-ups from the Toyota Plant here in Owensboro. One of them was asked if he would like to try the "house steak" and he thought they said horse!! He said, "What kind of horse, throughbred?" My daughter was shocked. She wanted to tell him no. This is Kentucky, we worship the horse. But she didn't want to get fired. The man was corrected by the waiter who told him slowly, h-o-u-s-e s-t-e-a-k.
I don't think that the winning pony "missed" the start. I think the rider was cagey enough to hold the pony back until those in the lead got tired...it's a well known strategy called "winning from the back." Although I guessed that this what was unfolding I must also admit I amazed that someone so young was astute enough to pull this off! Well done, well done!
I have seen a Clydesdale race, on video I mean. However... Lots of whipping and hitting. The winner only won because the human beat the shit out of their horse.
@@iclynnx typical horseracing. Sick. Take the price away (so it's just for fun) and take the whip away. Half the people won't want to compete anymore...... I soo wanna ask you how fast they were (bc they are my fav. But sooo slow.) But it's not like it matters bc like you said the winner went that fast bc of the beating.
bruh that start was so unfair id be so pissed if i was one of the kids farther back lmaoo. Also are these ponies able to carry people like this comfortably? They look so small under them, ik they are only carrying kids but it just looks so awkward.
Shetland's are good weight carriers. As long as you are light you can ride them. It's just uncomfortable for you if you are tall. I think most places have the weight limit as 6-7stone.
@@angellathefordgirl yea. A little girl is sharing a Shetland but she falls off cause he loves to stick his head down when she least expected it. She is ok with his tricks now tho 😂
@Bruce Parkes Horses and ponies that don't like being stroked are usually victims of being hit, whipped and beaten. They shy away because they think they are going to be hurt. Most of the Shetlands I've met enjoy a good fuss if they are in the mood
Yesssss!!. I had my eyes on the little brown pony because of it's beautiful brown colour. I was rooting hard for him to win. That why there is a Yessss to begin my comment.🤣🤣🤣. I enjoyed that race.
Normally I dont like horse racing mainly because I think its boring, but that horse race or in this case pony race was very interesting to watch. Might have to get into horse racing a little more.
I know the brown and red toned one would be the top two, they had the biggest gaits and instantly put on steam after the start. Where as the other two lost steam after the start.
Who would've thought a pony race could be so exciting! What a little grinder the winner was!
Missed the start and came through at the post with a fine win. Looked a miniture version of Saintly ,the 1996 Melbourne Cup winner .
You know the name of rider ? When i am not wrong the ponys name is something with Nadine and the girl riding Amelie? Greetings from Germany
I'm upset my parents didn't make me do this when I was little.
@ItsEm me too!!
im pretty sure they are midgets
Ikr, i wanna do it :(
I'm upset I didnt make my kid do this with her shetland!
wtf
My heart reached out to the little black one that got left behind! it tried so hard.
Mine to poor lil guy
Nero?(That’s the Shetland that I believe your on about) and I only know cuz I’m on this team rn ❤
@@Horses4life0976he gave all his darnest, my eyes were focused on him the whole time.😪😂
Dead heat. No chance. That little pony fought all the way for the win. Fabulously well timed ride.
Nadine is honestly the most amazing pony I’ve ridden. She takes care of all her riders and she puts her heart and soul into every race❤
Ikr she is amazing ❤
missed the start , carried more weight , what a pony .
Oh my godness ! Suspense till the end 😂 Worldclass ride though, she was nearly last at start
😂😂😂😂
A thriller indeed! I'll never get enough of Shetland pony racing!
What a pony, it missed the start and carrying more wait.
I do always root for the people in the back, cause they don’t have a change but it’s cute 😂
“And there they are the Shetland Ponies... phwoooar” 😶🤣🤣
@Mercedes Porras I died too girl 😩😂😂😂
Lil angry beauties 😍
My Shetland pony would destroy them all. I never saw a pony running as fast as mine does, out of this world
Mine too! Although mine isn't ridden he's turning 2 in febuary 😂😂😂😂😂
He lead everywhere but the post 😂😂
I love seeing Nadine run, such a little angel❤
Best finish I seen in years
This looks so cute❤
Showing that it's not about speed, but stamina.. The others started to get tired, which means that the others don't need to be fast, just lasting longer..
Every single meeting should have at least one of these races and little jumps also
Lmaoooo, they look as it they are going really slow, but you can hardly see their little legs and their speeding off into the distance lmaoooo I'm dead🤣🤣🤣😵😵
This is amaaaazing!
How far away, were they?🤓
By a damn NOSE!
You go Nickson Adean
Why does this remind me of secretariat and sham when they raced.
Or barboro at the derby
We race donkeys in Ireland no joke
you Do??? Omg
I have two shetlan pony's they are great love them so much❤️
My little sister would love this :P
What a finish 🤣🤣🤣
Whao, didnt realise this is so exciting

Louies where are you? :)

This is like horse racing for dwarves...
Dwarves? Is that what we call children now?
Ohhh this is a thing?! 🥰🥰🥰
I had no idea.
jessicaaudate sadly yes. It is.
@@chrishale1345 What do you mean sadly?
57HarleyDavidson because it’s abuse dUh
@@chrishale1345 No it's not abuse.
How long was the race? The runner-up ran a very game race - wouldn't quit!
Some of those kids were way to big for the shetlands I feel bad for them
Shetlands are incredibly strong and those kids look like they weigh nothing. You forget Shetlands can easily pull two fully grown adults in harness at ease.
Girl, your not a jockey, you don’t know any of this stuff @Fiona Ensor
A) That'd be "too."
B) No, those ponies are swoll.
Yes I agree it is abuse
@@Doodahdoodles 20% (including tack) and under for all horses and ponies. A horse can carry any weight dosent mean they should.
I'm just here for the mini horse jokes..
My favorite video thanks for sharing love it My favorite is the one with orange helmet.Almost wins.
‘If there’s any heart in the judge ............!
How far away are them horses ?

Way different ..
@@rhondaserges5136 No. Do you think these ponies cant slip and fall under other ones or kid/horse cant be injured?
@@retro2546 i agree
@@bukbukchickenaj4862 I'm glad I am not the one who notices it
@@retro2546 its even worse with kids and ponies honestly
Do we know who won
Cuteness overload
Why is there no gates
I love horses
So cute
Little me when I wanted to be like my dad.
How was that a fair start to the race?
I am convinced that the organizers knew the winner's abilities perfectly and applied a small handicap so as not to humiliate the less gifted. they are still children in competitions for fun.
So cute😂👍❤
How did they rig that one
JP must be gutted lol😂😂
Wat a win ! Cute
I rode the chestnut one x
really!!!!! :)
@@wassssngt2040 yes xx
Much much more pleasant to watch than those mini rodeo animal torturers in USA.
So cool
I am glad they didn't use any whip
is that kids?
Yes ;)
no are dwarfs
Are these children or adults riding?
Children
Toooo cute!!!!
Dem running??
You see rule 1 of racing never give up the inside that's why Nixon won.
Horse raccing -bad
Horse racing but Shetlands-ok

There's nothing bad with slaughter aslong as dine humanely.. there's no difference from a pig to a horse

Haha this is too cute. I was expecting names like Patches, Midnight, Star and Sugar.
Sir James of Berry!
Cool. Never knew they did this. How about a shire horse race?!
I’d love to see that

Icy Fleckz everyone who wants to win does that. Even those little girls /:

@@lunamagicath1658 oh okay well thats good to know the ponies can handle it!
Shetlands were used as pit ponies as they’re incredible strong.
occasionally I had to ride ours to sort him out for the boys. Extremely strong and determined for their size.
@@angellathefordgirl yea. A little girl is sharing a Shetland but she falls off cause he loves to stick his head down when she least expected it. She is ok with his tricks now tho 😂
1:19 Look at the girl in black and yellow stars how hard she whips her horse
Yep🥺🥺😢😢
That was just a simple kick and a swat, they don’t hit hard.
Yeah l feel so bad for the horse poor little horse 🥺 she don't know how to ride
@Bruce Parkes Not really

What a ride. Broke dead last. That's ❤️ and commitment right there by that jock and that pony!!!!
I’m in that racing team!!
They are amazing I see them live at Ardingly so cute and fast. I like to see them race live at a horse race course soon.
Omg its soo cute
Yesssss!!. I had my eyes on the little brown pony because of it's beautiful brown colour. I was rooting hard for him to win. That why there is a Yessss to begin my comment.🤣🤣🤣. I enjoyed that race.
That was cool she never quit and got it at the wire.
Brilliant end to the race. Loved it. :)
this is soooo cute!! little micro horses awwww could watch this all day!
1:35 modern day Secretariat and Sham
This reminds me of legendary “Secretarian” the race horse that died he’s running his fastest dream R.I.P
thank you RUclips for this recommendation
I’m on that exact team so I’m completeing next year x so excited
Normally I dont like horse racing mainly because I think its boring, but that horse race or in this case pony race was very interesting to watch. Might have to get into horse racing a little more.
If there was any heart to the judge they'd call it a dead heat....I don't know, the kids on the light chestnut handled that race like a pro.
I know the brown and red toned one would be the top two, they had the biggest gaits and instantly put on steam after the start. Where as the other two lost steam after the start.
From last to first , imagine odds in running hahah
This is the cutest thing ever!! Also who pimped out their kids for this lmfaoo
