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!
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 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.
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.
@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
That was a close one! Though when the commentor spoke from a 'couple of footlongs left to go' i thought 'well, a few foot for those ponies is like miles for horses'
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 😂
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🤣🤣🤣😵😵
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..
Who would've thought a pony race could be so exciting! What a little grinder the winner was!
And the winning pony missed the start!
From last to first this was so awesome!
He a closer !!!
What a race !!!

It’s a habit from this little Shetland and I can say she is honestly a little angel to race❤
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 bred one with a giraffe... It always won by a neck!
Leave
@@fawnsyy Shit up-
Bahahhahahahh I think I am the only one who gets the joke 😂
@@annalise4126 lol I get it to but it is funny but not funny
@@shadow9983 wait I only get the funny part 😂 not trying to be rude I’m low key confused is there a part of the joke that is mean?
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 ❤
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
Dead heat. No chance. That little pony fought all the way for the win. Fabulously well timed ride.
missed the start , carried more weight , what a pony .
Haha this is too cute. I was expecting names like Patches, Midnight, Star and Sugar.
Sir James of Berry!
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 ❤
What a ride. Broke dead last. That's ❤️ and commitment right there by that jock and that pony!!!!
That’s the cutest thing I’ve ever seen
A thriller indeed! I'll never get enough of Shetland pony racing!
this is soooo cute!! little micro horses awwww could watch this all day!
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 😂😂😂😂😂
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.
Oh my godness ! Suspense till the end 😂 Worldclass ride though, she was nearly last at start
😂😂😂😂
That was a great race. Well done little ponies 🥇🐎
“And there they are the Shetland Ponies... phwoooar” 😶🤣🤣
@Mercedes Porras I died too girl 😩😂😂😂
Lil angry beauties 😍
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 😂
This reminds me of legendary “Secretarian” the race horse that died he’s running his fastest dream R.I.P

Best finish I seen in years
He lead everywhere but the post 😂😂
I recently got a shitland pony as my support animal. Never have I been more happy and fulfilled
Does he shit a lot?
I love them but let’s be real, they are little shits!
I love seeing Nadine run, such a little angel❤
They were truckin right along!
That was an excellent 'come from behind'.
Brilliant end to the race. Loved it. :)
Cool. Never knew they did this. How about a shire horse race?!
I’d love to see that
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.
Icy Fleckz everyone who wants to win does that. Even those little girls /:

Could always try a carrot on a stick. Lol
I’m in that racing team!!
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.
From last to first , imagine odds in running hahah
How can you not giggle at this?
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.
thank you UA-cam for this recommendation
I’m on that exact team so I’m completeing next year x so excited
YESSS FRODO YESSS!! THE CAVALRY OF THE SHIRE!! FOR ROHAM AND ARAGORN!! 🤣
we need more race like this
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

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.
The wat they run like" bim bim bim " its so cute!😭😭❤❤
How far away, were they?🤓
1:35 modern day Secretariat and Sham
That was cool she never quit and got it at the wire.
that was the sweetest race ever
A pony and a child such a good combination.
Every single meeting should have at least one of these races and little jumps also
This is the cutest thing ever!! Also who pimped out their kids for this lmfaoo
That was a close one!
Though when the commentor spoke from a 'couple of footlongs left to go' i thought 'well, a few foot for those ponies is like miles for horses'
This is amaaaazing!
By a damn NOSE!
You go Nickson Adean

@@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 😂
I'm against racing. But this was so cute
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
He looked like Swinburn and Lammtarra in the Derby. From the Gods!
It reminded me of wings of eagles 🦅 actually and Padraig Beggy
Nice Race!
Was the following race between haystack carts?
What a finish 🤣🤣🤣
I picked the winner
What a run ,came from the back
Bad start
I nearly wet my pants

BTW, look up Thelwell's Pony Club cartoon series, it's awesome! 😄

Блин, это весело . Прямо порадовали пони-скачки . Молодцы!
They all look like little floof balls!! I kinda wished I had one but it would get trampled by my other horses haha
This looks so cute❤
How did they rig that one
Omg its soo cute
Oh god my pony will buck me off and gallop away back to the stable if she was in this race lol
overwhelming recovery 😲and win by a nose !!!
How long was the race? The runner-up ran a very game race - wouldn't quit!
There was one pony that looked lame I think it was no.4 who came 4th. That was a long way for those little legs. But what a great finish.

This is like horse racing for dwarves...
Dwarves? Is that what we call children now?
How far away are them horses ?
