Ride ’em, dogboy! Farmhand at 9,000-acre Australian cattle station mounts tiny toy cowboys on cattle dogs’ backs – and the results are hilarious

A farmhand at a 9,000-acre family cattle station mounted tiny toy cowboys to her dogs' backs in a hilarious video.

Ian Vivers, founder of Eaglehawk Angus cattle farm in the New England region of northern New South Wales, shared his daughter Annie's footage to social media. 

The two cattle dogs, Chips and Tjas, were each mounted with tiny brown saddles and a small toy cowboy waving a cowboy hat.

'We're family-run and so we try to make each day as enjoyable as we can, there's always something lighthearted going on,' Mr Vivers told Daily Mail Australia.     

Annie Vivers, a farmhand at her parents' Eaglehawk Angus cattle farm in northern NSW, filmed a hilarious clip of her two cattle dogs with toy cowboys on their backs  

Annie recorded her sandy dog Chips and black dog Tjas running through the cattle station's fields, taking close-ups of the cowboy dolls on their backs. 

The background music in the clip escalated and increased in speed as the dogs began to herd the massive black Angus cattle. 

Most of the cattle appeared comically huge in comparison to the tiny dolls, which also sported red ascot neckerchiefs and chequered blue and white shirts.    

Slow motion shots also showed the dogs happily bounding through the grass and the cowboys wildly swinging on their backs. 

Annie had decided to record the hilarious feat because she had 'too much time on her hands'.   

The family-owned cattle station was founded by Mr Vivers and his wife Sally in 1990, and they run it with their other two children Harry and Maggie. 

The cattle dogs (pictured above) are bred on the cattle station by the family and trained to herd the massive bulls across the 9,000-acre property 

Mr Vivers could be seen arriving in a utility vehicle at the end of the video, belly laughing at the dressed-up dogs.    

'What're you laughing at? What's the problem,' Annie could be heard asking him.

'Cowboys are ready. I wonder how they're going to go.'  

'This is gold,' he responded. 

Viewers praised the 'great dogs' and 'beautiful set of bulls' in the hilarious clip.        

'Someone has way, way, way too much time on their hands! Absolutely brilliant, love it,' one commenter said. 

'I was giggling the whole way through.'

'What good dogs. Totally on the job, not distracted by a cowboy flipping around on them,' another user wrote.
