This is the hilarious moment a 'cheeky' show pony went rogue and sprinted off to celebrate her first ever jump - leaving her pint-sized rider to desperately cling on before flinging the poor kid off. Katie Newland was 'dreading' taking Shetland pony Winnie to Tackley Horse Show in Oxfordshire, due to the 'carnage' that would ensue and the eight-year-old dramatically proved why in front of a stunned crowd.
Footage shows her pal's daughter Fifi Kelly acing a mini cross-rail jump, then on landing she's thrust forward towards Winnie's neck - but instead of stopping the pony bolts. The eight-year-old kid can be seen clinging on for dear life as she tries to lean back and slow Winnie down, yet when the 'excited' pony does finally stop she shrugs Fifi off - though the youngster is thankfully unhurt.
Winnie sees the chance to flee and leaves Fifi chasing after her as mum Georgia Smith, 27, can be heard in 'outrageously funny' fits of giggles at the comedy sketch-like scene. National-level dressage rider Katie, 22, recorded the side-splitting video and posted it to Facebook, where it's now been seen more than 200,000 times to thousands of users' delight.
