Small children riding patient ponies is always a recipe for cute. But a small child nearly falling off a well-behaved pony, in slow motion, then recovering to finish his pattern and canter home hands-free? THAT takes the cake.
Watch Eddie McQualter Whyte and his trusty steed, Howie, run barrels at the Australian Equine and Livestock Events Centre. (Video by Wild Colt Productions.)

Trying his hand at trick riding…
….he’s back up!
And off he goes.
Fly like an eagle!
And there you have the cutest cowboy on the internet…
