WALKIES was never meant to be like this, yet somehow it seems to suit Tyler and his horse pal Monty.
The pair became inseparable after owner Des Feely plonked labrador pup Tyler on Monty’s back.
Now the dog is two and they go for a mile-long trot in Cotehill, Cumbria, each day. Des, 52, said: “Tyler is no stunt dog, he just likes horses. For them it’s totally natural.”

What is amazing that they were not trained to do this, they are just pals.
To: FairOpinion
Yeah. I suppose any decent trainer could find a dog and a horse to do this if that was the goal.

Cute!
Actually, it's probably harder for a dog to stay on - even a small 1 - than a cat. Riding, I mean. Cats are more flexible and better at staying stable.

To: the OlLine Rebel
lol ~ you're probably right about that except I'm thinkin' the methods cat's use for hanging-on might be a bit objectionable to the horse! You notice the horse in my image is stationary! ;^)
