The horse’s reaction is hilarious (Video)

Remember that old saying “If at first you don’t succeed…?” Well try, try (try, try, try, try)! This female rider, wearing a red bathing suit top and khaki shorts, is recorded struggled to pull herself up to mount a horse after several attempts. Apparently believing that she has the skill to hop onto the unsaddled horse, she jumps. But, she only manages to get one foot to the top of the animal before sliding back down onto the ground. There was no saddle to help the woman, and she could not jump high enough to get her right foot to go over the horse’s back.

The woman tries again, but looks more like she is preparing to ride the horse from the side, as one leg curls under the horse’s stomach while the other tries, and fails, to get over the horse’s back. Her third attempt is even less successful, barely getting off the ground before she is back on it. Before her fourth try, she hops from foot to foot to try to build to a higher jump. The tactic doesn’t work, and she once again finds herself clinging to the side of the horse. This time, though, the horse isn’t having it. The horse seemed to sense the woman’s frustrations (and was possibly tired of being kicked near the ribs), so the horse did something unexpected.

The horse’s frustration with the woman’s failed attempts

In a move that seems to be equal parts sympathetic and frustrated with the woman’s failed attempts, the horse took some steps away and lowers itself to the ground. He decided to squat and help the rider mount itself from a more reasonable height, so that, this time, the woman cannot possibly fail. Finally able to easily get herself astride the animal, the woman seats herself on the horse’s back before they are off at a slow trot. Although the horse and rider might both want to laugh at the entire situation, it’s actually the videographer who gets the last laugh. Watch the video, the horse’s impatience with its would-be rider’s failures is hilarious!
