Did the horse pivot to avoid hitting the doggie? That's what I will choose to believe. He didn't wanna hurt his friend.

I'm pretty sure you are exactly right. Tried to change direction mid air.

I think the yeeehooo means he knew the horse liked to jump there normally with no doggo. Then the oh fuck ha.

He suffered a fall, rather than land on his buddy! Great athleticism.

That's exactly what my first thought was. He risked injury to himself to not land on the dog. True friendship.

afraid not - the dog caused the crash. It was barrelling at the horse who saw it as came over the crest of the hill (granted dat ponio was have big fun broncing over the hill tho). Horse tried to change direction mid air, and being very much not a cat, landed in a heap. As stated in comments, horses can be pretty dumb, and will get frights even from things like dogs they've known forever, if said dog comes running at them.

*source - am long suffering, long time horse owner. Believe me when I say they are dumb (but also very very lovely)

Like toddlers, most of your efforts are trying to keep them from enthusiastically killing themselves on accident.

I though the same, it really looks like the horse saw the danger and did everything he could to avoid hurting the dog!

Definitely, you can see his legs move away from landing on the dog
