Dog Training as a Jockey
As a plain old Ikea dog I cannot compete with this so I will just share it with you – This story is about Freddie, a Jack Russell dog with no training, riding bareback on a Shetland Pony..
A Jack Russell dog is stunning visitors to a farm by showing off his horse riding skills. Freddie leaps on the back of his neighbour’s Shetland pony, Daisy, for a trot around the paddock of Peglars Farm in Flaxley, Gloucestershire. Owner Patricia Swinley said the dog was a “natural” jockey whose equestrian skills have blossomed. “When he first saw Daisy he rushed across the yard and just jumped straight on her back,” she said. Freddie, who has been nicknamed the Flaxley Flier, is often to be seen riding round the 25-acre farm and Daisy, who stands at just 37 inches tall, provides the perfect taxi for the dog jockey.
