It looks like Walter Feldman to me, but I'm not sure. >>> When I was a kid, I had a little pony trip like this and I immediately got >>> off and checked her over.

I guess horses and ponies can trip over about anything, but I'd be checking for a reason for a trip that big, especially on what seems to be flat, groomed track. The worst horse we ever had to trip was Big Mac. For the first year or two we had him, as he was recovering from his Big Lick days, he'd trip over about anything. Once his feet were back in balance, not too long, the tripping stopped. I can't say for sure that's the issue with this horse, but anytime I see one trip this badly, I wonder if the horse is lame, or if his feet are way too long, or way out of balance.
