This Hoppy baby can’t figure out how to roll in the sand and it’s making him adorably mad:

Well, he's never had the Hoppertunity before. . .(sorry, that was too easy).

Maybe something about the sand is throwing him off.

Tug of war with Cyrus, the Hoppy baby (who apparently still hasn't learned how to roll in the sand):

Maybe Cyrus just can’t hear everyone explaining how to roll

BaroqueAgain1 · Wed Jul 15, 2020 6:55 pm

Cyrus has a future career as a "Lead Pony" when he's done racing.

ThreeMustangs · Wed Jul 15, 2020 7:09 pm

Here's Cyrus' birth announcement:

ETA: Stolen Dance made 47 starts, so that bodes well for Cyrus' durability.
