Shocked Whitney Cummings fans react as she holds six-month-old baby in front of rampaging horse: ‘Completely irresponsible’

Whitney Cummings shocked fans after sharing a video of herself holding her six-month-old in front of a rushing horse.

The actress, 41, was branded “completely irresponsible” after posting a clip on Instagram of herself interacting with the excited animal while holding her baby boy.

In the video, posted Monday, Cummings happily held her son close to the animal – which threw its legs in the air as her child laughed with joy.

She took several steps back, asking her friend, who was out of frame, if she had captured the moment on camera.

” You’re ready ? » » she asked her child before rushing towards the animal again.

Whitney playfully held her son towards the horse again as the animal repeated the same happy movement, lifting both of its front legs into the air before placing them back on the ground.

‘You like this?’ Whitney asked her baby, who was still laughing.

“It’s a cowboy, baby,” Whitney captioned the post.

While many fans felt the video captured a cute moment, others criticized Whitney for what they perceived to be a potentially dangerous situation.

One called Whitney “completely irresponsible” and accused her of using the child for likes on social media.

“No matter how well trained this horse is, he is still an animal and something could go horribly wrong. Using your baby for a like on Instagram is completely irresponsible,” one fan posted.

Another called it “a little pointless.”

“Seems a bit pointless…a horse could knock you both out in a second with one unpredictable move,” another wrote.

A viewer who said he was raised on a horse farm called the video “completely reckless”.

“As someone who grew up on a horse farm, this is completely reckless behavior,” they wrote. “Horses are extremely sensitive to energies. Your instinct should be to never do this. Not only do horses kick with enough force to kill an adult. They can also trample. Like, how many of these psychotic videos are we going to witness? This poor baby has been a prop since day one.

‘WTF! It’s dangerous as hell!!!!’ wrote one viewer.

“Why would you run straight onto a prancing horse with a baby in your arms?” ” a position.

“Bad idea,” wrote another.

“Wonderful moment but very dangerous. I wouldn’t do that.

“So it’s not safe. You must not know horses,” one wrote.

“So cute, I’m sure she knows her horses, their behavior and what’s safe very well,” wrote one fan who defended her.

Whitney had previously spoken about equine therapy and the rescue horse she adopted.

“I grew up around horses…I started doing equine therapy because there’s a certain point where you’re so crazy that therapists can’t help you anymore,” she said. explained on the Rachael Ray Show in 2017.

“The problem with the way we live today is we all want to be in control, we want results, we want to be perfect, we have a list… of horses that you can’t control. They are stronger than you, so they will only do it for you if they know it’s important to you and if you don’t try to pressure them or rush them,” she explained. .

“Horses sense ‘you’re desperate’… but as soon as you say ‘if you want to do this, cool, if you don’t, fine, they’ll do it for you.'” So, usually when I go in with them, the first thing I do is cry just because you feel so many emotions.

Whitney explained that she adopted a former dressage horse for just a dollar. “I bought it for a dollar and saved it!”

The latest Instagram video comes six months after Whitney welcomed her son, her very first child, into the world.

She gave birth to her baby boy in December 2023.

“3D printing of a human. Enjoy never having to brush hair again,” she captioned her very first photo of the toddler.
