We should all be more like this pony that joined a cycling race and ran its little heart out

[demmiblue]

There's no dream that's too grand. Well, at least that's probably what this pony told itself when it decided to join the Tour de Pologne — a week-long cycling race that's currently under way.

Cyclists riding through the course yesterday morning might have found themselves riding against an ambitious little pony. It weaved through bikes and took some speedy turns. At one point, it nearly stumbled, but it made a great recovery and kept on beating its hooves against the pavement.

The pony was running a pretty good race until a cyclist guided it off the road to safety.

8. yes

as fun as it was to watch, you cannot help but be concerned for the little chap's safety (and the safety of the cyclists)

3. Remember when the hound dog Ludovine, unbeknownst to his owner,

fell in with a group of runners at the starting line of a half marathon last year? He ran the whole course and got a medal for coming in 7th!

6. He thought he had finally found his herd!!! His reason for living! And then someone told him...

"No, no, not for you!".

He turned and walked slowly back home.
