Moonwalking pony becomes YouTube hit

Any seasoned horse rider should be familiar with the rules of dressage. Defined by the Fédération Equestre Internationale as an activity where the "horse and rider are expected to perform from memory a series of predetermined movements", this competition is adored by many participants and spectators alike.
Although these events are usually best enjoyed live or on the television, I may have found a very entertaining variant recently while browsing videos on YouTube.

Three, a mobile phone company, has recently uploaded a clip onto the website which shows a Shetland pony pulling off some really snazzy moves. Dancing to Fleetwood Mac's 'Everywhere', the equine star only stops his moonwalk when someone drives past on a tractor.
As a rider wasn't involved in the pony's performance, I doubt we can really compare this video to dressage – but can you imagine this moonwalking equine in a competition? I bet the animal would do rather well!
Now that the video has gone viral – with more than a million hits since I started writing this blog – hopefully Three will give the pony a nice present, such as a new horse rug.
Closing the advert, the clip ends with the caption, "Silly stuff. It matters." – which is coincidentally what I try and write about when I do these articles...
