Giddy-Up! Woman Catches Corgi Riding Pony Off Into the Night on Video

Well, this is certainly something you don’t see every day.

Last Thursday night, a Missouri woman came home to find a neighbor’s dog trotting off into the darkness on her pony.

Callie Schenker, 22, said she pulled into her driveway and noticed her neighbor’s Corgi sitting on the back of her one-eyed pony, Cricket.

Schenker started laughing, pulled out her phone, and recorded the hilarious incident. She shared the video on Facebook, and it has since gone viral.

“I can’t make this stuff up!!! So we pull back in our driveway tonight and this is what we see. This is not our dog! But apparently him and Cricket the one eyed wonder pony are best friends. I’m stealing the dog, new circus act!” Schenker wrote.

She’s gotten a lot of questions about the dog and pony show since her video went viral, Schenker told the Springfield News-Leader:

Did she put the dog on the pony? No. Is her pony for sale? No. Did the dog get hurt? No. Is the dog abused at home? No, he just lives in a rural area and likes to travel. What happened to Cricket’s eye? He lost it in an incident years ago, that had nothing to do with the dog.

Schenker said her favorite part of the video is how the Corgi continued to sit on top of Cricket even as the pony began moving. At one point, the dog looks over his shoulder at the camera as the two disappear into the darkness.

“He rode it like people. That, to us, is the killer of the video — that he actually stayed on.

I’m really glad everyone got a good laugh out of it — if they got a laugh from the actual dog, or a laugh from my laugh. I’m glad it’s something happy this time instead of something sad in the news.”
