Young girl gets ‘ejected’ after pony decides to roll in muddy water

A young girl was ditched by her pony after it decided to go for a dip in a muddy pool.

Video of the incident shows the animal pawing playfully at the water, before it bends down, tipping its teeny tiny rider off its back and into the water.

The hilarious video, which was posted Facebook earlier this month by Jim N Stacey Warner, has since been viewed more than three million times.

It shows the pony rolling in the water while the girl rider scrambles to her feet.

Two other girls watch on from astride their own ponies, giggling.

Eventually the pony gets back up, shaking itself off, and the young rider comes forward, grinning, to seize the reins.

“You’ve been pony-dunked,” the camerawoman can be heard exclaiming.
