Featured Video: We Wish We Were as Energetic as This Mini Horse




If you’ve ever been around children, you’ve either said (or heard someone say), “I wish I had that much energy.” It seems that all that energy is not limited to human children. Charlie, a miniature horse who lives on a farm in South East Queensland, Australia, proves it.

He seems to be just enjoying hanging out on the farm when all of a sudden it’s as though he just can’t contain himself and he needs to run. And run. And run. His running is intermixed with a couple jumps and he only pauses when a human scratches his back, but then of course he’s back to running. Watch the video to see this little ball of energy in action.
