After exhaustive research and much deliberating, I’ve come to the conclusion that there isn’t much I wouldn’t watch Figaro the mini horse from Oakland, California do. Fortunately, what Figaro actually does do is pretty entertaining.

Figaro does adorable little tricks on sunny California beaches. He loves to go hiking, and like many avid hikers, gets a little carried away on the downhills and almost wipes out in the bushes. He paws politely when he’d like to go outside to use the restroom, and he totes around equally adorable small children, sometimes dressed as cowboys and ponying giant dogs.

It’s not just that I enjoy watching Figaro do all these things. I’m genuinely jealous of his charmed California lifestyle, his cool animal friends (they all ride along together in the van—NDB), and his obvious charisma. This mini was made to be in front of the cameras.
