This is my favorite, ironically repost today.

[–]Hoobleton 9 points10 points ago

That was long, I was trying to figure out where it looped and then it finished and I was all "Oh..."

[–]sogwennn 2 points3 points ago

I wish I had more upvotes for you, that was absolutely adorable.

[–]missachlys 35 points36 points ago

It makes me cringe and then sigh with relief. x.o She comes so close to breaking her legs so many times. And a horse with a broken leg is no joke.

[–]birkik 7 points8 points ago

Reminds me of this penny arcade comic:

[–]robert_cat 6 points7 points ago

I agree. I think anyone who has owned horses sees this .gif a little differently than everyone else.

[–]Drawtaru 5 points6 points ago

I've been on a horse that slipped on ice. It wasn't fun.

[–]robert_cat 2 points3 points ago

That makes me glad that I live in Texas. I've never been on a horse in freezing weather. It freezes maybe 3-4 times a year, and on those days the horses stay in their stalls. lol.

[–]sandforthewin 8 points9 points ago

I don't own a horse and I had the same reaction.

[–]TurboBruce 2 points3 points ago

My horse slipped on ice and had to be euthanized. no joke indeed.

[–]missachlys 2 points3 points ago

I'm so sorry. I feel for you. :( Luckily it doesn't get cold enough here for ice, but I've known a few horses who've broken their legs and had to be put down and it's one of the worst ways to go because you feel like you should be able to fix it.

[–]Massin 0 points1 point ago

exactly what was in my mind

[–]AstroZombie29 3 points4 points ago

Seriously...? Has this world no sense of humor left ?

[–]missachlys 1 point2 points ago

It's more of a dread feeling that drains the humor out of it. I can see and understand the humor, but I personally don't find it funny because I can just see how close that horse it to breaking it's leg and being put down. I've worked with horses for a while, and a horse breaking a leg is nothing like a dog or cat breaking a leg. It's like watching a near death experience.

[–]kensomniac 0 points1 point ago

You know how some people laugh and smile a lot when they leave a near-death situation? It's the same in this situation, it's cathartic.

[–]missachlys 2 points3 points ago

I laugh after near-death situations because of adrenaline. Watching one is a little different for me.

Again, I understand the humor, but don't find it funny myself. I was just explaining to AstroZombie29 why some people don't find it funny.

[–]kensomniac 2 points3 points ago

Ah, I was just explaining why I was laughing.. it's not exactly humorous, but it's more like "Whew, glad that's over..haha!"

My danger instincts may be broken though =\ I was cringing the whole way through the video... couldn't keep my eyes off it's fetlocks and knees, because.. ugh.. for such large animals, their foundations seem kinda.. twiggy.

[–]Iwantrobots 14 points15 points ago

[–]sheepyowl 0 points1 point ago

I wonder what made the cow act like that...

[–]Banjulioe 0 points1 point ago

It's probably not unlikely that the gif is somewhat in context and that the cow is doing that as a territorial gesture.

[–]troll-la-la 8 points9 points ago

This gif is me after a night of hard drinking and I'm wearing heels.

[–]tilkingdmcme 3 points4 points ago

hey, i've been around horses my whole life, and they pretty much are my life, and i thought this was hilarious.

[–]Se7en_Sinner 25 points26 points ago

[–]muffinmonk 1 point2 points ago

It's even funnier when the context is about Andy Carroll.

[–]Interesting_name 6 points7 points ago

Happy Reddiversary.

[–]carpadium 2 points3 points ago

So glad this isn't the one with rage faces.

[–]VDr4g0n 1 point2 points ago

Took forever to load D:

"It's my cake day, give me karma"

[–]Squirrels_eat_bacon 0 points1 point ago

[–]TrololoFace 2 points3 points ago

I like the other horse in the background perking up right as the slipping occurs.

[–]Llooyd 2 points3 points ago

Love the last fuck.

[–]ThatWasFred 0 points1 point ago

That's what she said.

[–]hereaminuteago 5 points6 points ago

this gif is as old as the sun

[–]Danleyson 1 point2 points ago

This is probably one of the only things I don't mind seeing reposted. I actually missed it.

[–]Piney630 1 point2 points ago

One of my friends (a fellow Redditor) sent me this one day saying that every time he sees it, it reminds him of me. :(

[–]sogwennn 0 points1 point ago

Why the sad face?

[–]Piney630 2 points3 points ago

Cause he was making fun of my clumsiness. Well, at least I am assuming so since I am pretty clumsy.

[–]erikcasey 3 points4 points ago

Sitting here pooping and this popped up. Seconds after. Laughter ensued. And so did the rest of my bowel movement.

[–]lillebusy 1 point2 points ago

If it were any other animal I might enjoy it. All I can think while watching this is that the horse is one step away from an hour of excruciating pain followed by a bullet to the temple.

[–]MammaJude 1 point2 points ago

You're right, it always makes me laugh. happy cake day

[–]IAMAhaberdasher 1 point2 points ago

Sarah Jessica Parker, you are drunk.

[–]whereismycoffee 0 points1 point ago

Hey, Andy Carroll looked better the second half of the season.

[–]Chuckisbossingit 0 points1 point ago

Merry cake day my good man

[–]forgottten 0 points1 point ago

The black horse in the background thinking wtf ?

[–]bujweiser 0 points1 point ago

I absolutely love the "Hate" at the very end. You see it just for a split second, but it's great.

[–]MassRelay -4 points-3 points ago

Sorry about your down votes. It's my cake day too, but there is no icon. I think I broke a rule and talked about cake day.

[–]sheepyowl 2 points3 points ago

broke two rules

i don't understand the people of reddit sometimes

[–]wtfisapoggy -1 points0 points ago

There's nothing funny about a horse being exiled.

[–]vasovagalsyncope -1 points0 points ago

Charlie Brooker dancing.

[–]s8skanna -4 points-3 points ago

LOL never seen this one before. Good post for your cake day.
