A young Netherlands horse trainer learns that people are not the only ones that like to show off for the camera.
Eva Roemaat is experienced in trick training, bitless riding, natural dressage and classical dressage. She tries to share these tricks with her pony named Flip. Flip is five years old and is the focus of many videos that are shot by Roemaat. Roemaat records and share videos of her training sessions with her beloved pony.
During this particular training session, Flip shows Roemaat that he knows how to go off script and have fun. In many of the previous training videos, Flip is obedient to his owner as they show off tricks that he has learned. The actions of Flip in this particular recording session were unplanned.
Instead of showing off his tricks, Flip shows the camera that he is able to run and sprint. Perhaps this is Flip’s way to show how excited and happy he is. Flip’s action did not upset Roemaat but rather they gave her a reason to laugh and smile. Each time Roemaat would attempt to get close to Flip, the little pony would run or sprint away. The more Flip ran and sprinted the more Roemaat was tickled.
Days such as these are expected to occur at times by the trainer. Roemaat reminds fellow trainers and horse lovers that “the horse is the most important teacher”. This video shows that sometimes training day does not always go according to plan but it can still lead to a fun filled day.
