Ridiculously Fun Corgi Puppies' ‘Obstacle Course' Is the Best Thing We've Seen All Day
Ridiculously Fun Corgi Puppies' 'Obstacle Course' Is the Best Thing We've Seen All Day originally appeared on PetHelpful. Some things are just impossibly cute, like corgi puppies - oh, and corgi puppy obstacle courses! Just check out this video to see what we're talking about. Not only is this total cuteness overload, but it is also, unsurprisingly, the best thing we've seen all day! What happens when four adorable, hungry corgi puppies have to traverse a fun little obstacle course to get to their food? Fun, laughs, and outrageous adorableness. That's what! As this video shows, the first part of this obstacle course consists of a barrier, some spiky, plastic padding that these little dogs have to jump over, a towel, a mini ball pit, and finally a tray of water. That last obstacle proves to be the biggest one for these little pups because none of them likes getting wet. The first pup makes it through the entire course of these. Their siblings, however, all get tripped up when it comes to crossing the water tray. At first, one of them sticks their paw in, but doesn't like the wet feeling, so they back away. But then they very quickly figure out that the only way is forward, and brave a few tentative steps through the water to get to their next one does the same, crossing the water very, very carefully. That leaves the last corgi pup, who looks more than a little bit frazzled as they realize that they must cross the water in order to get to their food. They bark in defiance, almost as if to say, 'No, I will not cross this moisture death pit!' However, they soon realize that they are protesting in vain, and realize that they must cross the water if they want to eat. Quite comically, they end up jumping right into the tray and making a big splash! Afterwards, they are finally able to join the canine siblings in enjoying some nice, tasty kibble! As this other video shows, these corgi pups are becoming well-versed in obstacle courses and challenging enrichment toys. This one is a moving surface that challenges them to learn how to make decisions in a calm, rational manner while they are under stress, according to the video's comments section. The comment added that playing on this moving surface will also help them develop body awareness and startle and recovery responses, which will go a long way towards helping them build confidence.

Hartbeespoort athlete wins extreme Red Bull ranch obstacle race in Texas
Hartbeespoort's very own Red Bull Obstacle Course racing athlete, Thomas van Tonder, has been crowned the first-ever Red Bull Rancher Strong Champion after taking on 16 elite male athletes in a high-stakes showdown in the heart of Fort Worth, Texas. The Red Bull website states: 'The seven course obstacles have been designed around actions you would endure on your everyday ranch but with a fitness spin to them.' Kormorant reports that, bringing together the worlds of fitness and agricultural life, Red Bull Rancher Strong features an adrenaline-fuelled course of eight ranch-inspired obstacles – from cattle roping and hay hauling to fence jumping – all designed to push strength, stamina and speed. 'It was not an easy race by any means. It was a super tough event, and with the injury to my arm, it was really tough, but I managed to push through and win. This event exceeded all my expectations. What a vibe!' Van Tonder says. In this first-of-its-kind event, athletes went head-to-head in timed heats on a course as intense as it was unique. They swung from monkey bars, hauled feed sacks, pushed trailers, climbed hay bales, tiptoed over stumps, and dragged a weighted bull sled while riding a stationary horse. The course ended with a final climb back to the barn balcony. Van Tonder told the Red Bull website that he's been doing obstacle races for over 10 years. 'I've been doing it professionally since 2017. So it's almost like I've been training for this for a good decade. I have had my setbacks — I broke my arm in February in a big competition in Dubai, and it was really a struggle from there to rebuild and come back into form. So being able to come here to the heart of Texas and take a win.'
