- All right, I've been trying to reach
a million followers on Instagram for quite some time now.
Wax the whole body, do it for
the Instagram followers. (screaming)
What the (beep)!?
Guys, hey!
And I failed every single time.
I only got 100 followers.
I gained no followers.
I failed this time, but guess what?
I'm gonna find something else.
I just saw this girl go viral on Instagram
because she runs and jumps like a horse.
(country music)
I think I can do that,
so I'm gonna go to the office and try this out.
(country music)
- Okay, it was animal-like.
- Animal-like, we're getting there, that's good.
- I don't know what kinda animal, but.
- A bear?
- No, (beep)!
What do I need to do to be more horse-like?
(breathes out) (rolls lips)
- (laughs) Hey okay, that's a good start.
(country-fied music)
(rolls lips)
- It's like an angry horse you know?
One of those that are like.
(country music)
(rolls lips)
- You're not close at all.
- Not even a little bit?
- No. - Like a slow motion gallop.
(intense country music)
Do you wanna go for it, do you wanna just try it?
- I do not.
- No!
- All right that was pretty good.
- Was it really?
That was the first attempt.
- I think so, okay.
You practice, for maybe the next couple hours,
I'm gonna go keep shooting,
and then I'll check back in with you.
- All right I'm not gonna do that, but good luck.
(intense country music)
- All right so I'm gonna go interview some people at a park,
because I feel like people at parks have seen horses before,
because they like nature,
so let's go see if people have any good advice.
(playful music)
Do you mind being in a video real quick?
Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
Do you guys have horses in Australia?
- We do.
- There's a lady doing yoga,
I feel like you need to be flexible for this
so I need to ask her.
I feel bad bothering her, but.
Okay, have you seen this new viral horse running trend?
- No I haven't.
I mean she's obviously talented doing that,
so good on her if you can run on four legs.
- Okay yeah I've seen this girl.
- And the point is?
- I have no idea, she just likes doing it.
What do you think of that?
- Good.
(laughing)
- Yes, oh you could do that, you got that.
- Okay, I'm gonna try it right now,
I wanna see honest opinion.
Here, hold the mic.
(playful music)
- I appreciate the effort,
but that's the least horse-like running I've ever seen.
- I think at the end you need to tuck.
- And that's all I need, my trollop looks good?
- Your trollop is great,
you have like great stride,
your height is perfect,
it's just in the landing you could
be a little bit more graceful.
- What advice do you have
for it to look more horse-like?
- I would just quit.
I wouldn't try become a horse.
- Do you wanna try it?
- Try it?
- I believe in you man,
you look like you could do it,
he's from Australia he can do anything.
(playful music)
- It's a bit of pressure on your body,
the whole body feels it.
I looked like an idiot.
(playful music)
- All right so I'm getting mixed reviews
some people are saying I got it,
some people say I sucK,
I don't feel very confident
I feel like it's sloppy I look like anything but a horse,
so I'm gonna try and get in touch
with the actual girl and see if she can help me.
(ringing)
- Hello?
- Hey, what's up?
- Hi, how are you?
- Good, good, how are you?
Thanks so much for calling. - I'm good.
- How did you discover that you had this talent,
or like this is something you enjoy doing?
- Well I started horse riding 10 years ago,
so me and my friends would jump around after horse lessons,
and then years later I found people on Instagram
that would also jump,
so I got inspired by them and I made my own account
and started practicing more often,
and here I am.
- What's the highest jump you've ever done?
- [Horse Girl] On all four legs
the highest I've jumped is 3'10.
On two legs my highest jump is 4'10.
- Do you think that someone like me
can get pretty good at this in a short period of time?
- Oh yeah of course,
I've seen like seven year old girls that can jump
almost as high as I can.
- Really?
- Oh yeah.
- Is it like, feet and hands simultaneous,
or is it kinda like a trot?
- It's a diagonal pair,
so my front left, hind right move simultaneously,
and my other two legs more independently.
- Our producer in the back is just
trying to figure that out real quick,
how to do that.
I think I just need to work on
just making it look a little smoother,
and then the jump, how do you jump?
- Yeah so you wanna take off
with your feet side by side,
and kinda press up like you're diving.
Tuck your arms up kinda close to your chin,
and then land with your hands open.
- All right, so next steps.
I'm gonna go get some comfy clothes, and master this.
Yeehaw!
(intense guitar music)
Okay so, what does it look like right now,
what do I need help with?
Some rhythm?
(clapping like a horse runs)
- [Crew] Yeah, more like that.
- [Cameraman] That's honestly closer.
- Really, okay.
- [Crew] More of that.
(intense country music)
- [Cameraman] At least try it faster.
- Faster now, so like more like a horse.
(vocally impersonates the beat of a horse's run)
That's faster does that look right?
Okay so now I'm gonna go for the jump.
That's pretty high, hun?
So the cone is up to my thigh, and I'm about six feet.
So it's pretty tall.
(intense music)
(triumphant music)
I think I did it!
- [Cameraman] That was absolutely it.
- Was it really?
- [Cameraman] It was.
- I'm like a horse now, right?
- [Cameraman] Pretty much, yeah.
(horse whinnies)
- All right so last night I edited the video
of me doing a horse jump.
The soundtrack is old town road,
which I think is hilarious.
I uploaded it to Instagram and now I'm gonna check
how many followers I got in 24 hours.
Let's do this, woo!
