As majestic as horses can be they are equally amusing and awkward, especially when they pull off some strange stunt. Good thing there was someone there to catch it on tape. Have you ever looked at a horse, or a picture of a horse and found yourself at a loss for words? Imagine watching a video that features one of the most beautiful horses in the world… falling on its rear.
Do you own a horse of your own? If you do you are probably also frantically searching for horse videos with grooming and training tips from professional breeders. You may have even watched some of the best horse competition videos while you were at it. But did you see the best? YouTube is teeming with videos that range from funny to downright strange, the problem is that it is difficult to separate the good ones from the bad. We have spent countless of hours browsing online and discovered some of the best horse racing videos, horse training videos and horse fail videos. Behold, the horse in all its splendor.
Cute & Funny Horse Videos
More and more fail horse videos have been popping up on YouTube in the last few years. Some of them present situations where horses are simply being awkward, others are a combination between human stupidity and the reactions of rather confused horses. While it’s hilarious to see riders fall off their high-horse from time to time (pun-intended) we don’t recommend you to do it at home.

His adventures in the West with Indians and bandits are not as captivating, but the fun conclusion redeems it.
