Synopsis[]
Pat the Horse.
The episode begins with SpongeBob showing Patrick a story of several people who have jobs. Patrick sees a horse in one of them and wants to become one, leading to him actually becoming one the next day. SpongeBob is amazed by Patrick and now calls him Pat. After he tames him, he rides him to the Krusty Krab.
When SpongeBob leaves Pat to work, he starts getting attraction from kids. Mr. Krabs sees this and decides to use Pat to obtain money. This makes SpongeBob sad, as Pat has been turned into a way for Mr. Krabs to earn money. Eventually, Pat gets annoyed with being a pony ride and runs off.
SpongeBob tries to get Pat to come back, and at the same time, Mr. Krabs forces Squidward to be a pony ride so he can continue making business. SpongeBob finds Pat in a hot and dry desert and gets him to come back to him and be his horse again. After arriving back at the Krusty Krab, Mr. Krabs tells him to keep his horse away as Squidward is a much better horse than him. This leads to SpongeBob and Mr. Krabs having a race to see who can delivery a Krabby Patty to Black Devil Bay the fastest.
Patrick decides to be a crab instead.
Despite Mr. Krabs attempting to slow them down by cheating, SpongeBob and Pat manage to reach the customer first, but Pat had eaten the Krabby Patty while they were racing. This allows Mr. Krabs and Squidward to give the Krabby Patty to the customer and win the race. Pat, who's now back to being Patrick again, then declares that he's bored of being a horse and wants to be a crab instead. He then steals Mr. Krabs arms, starts acting like him and runs off, forcing an angry Mr. Krabs to chase after Patrick to get his limbs back. The episode ends with Squidward riding on SpongeBob, while a street cleaner chases them.

Trivia[]
General[]
- The original title for this episode was "Giddy Up, Patrick![3]
- This episode was paired up with "The Incredible Shrinking Sponge" during the original airing, but has since been re-airing with "Cuddle E. Hugs."[4]
- SpongeBob says "Hmm, Horsey. That's not right" to the viewer, breaking the fourth wall.
- "My leg!:"
- The last kid who Mr. Krabs is not able to catch.
- When Patrick runs over the same kid.
- The kid says, "My wittle weg!," not "My leg!"
- In the UK and Ireland, three scenes were edited: firstly, the scene where Mr. Krabs throws kids onto Horse Patrick's back and then catching them after Patrick jumps them off of his back (except for one unfortunate kid who broke his back after Mr. Krabs failed to catch him and was later stampeded on by Horse Patrick) was cut, and the scene after it was zoomed in to remove sight of the injured kid, though he is still shown in the next scene, secondly, the scene where SpongeBob tries to make friends with Horse Patrick, whom he ends up catching by the neck with a rope and is sent through numerous cactuses, rocks and pillows, was cut due to violence and possible connotations to suicide/death, and thirdly, a part of the horse race scene where Mr. Krabs slingshots a rock through SpongeBob was edited to darken the screen due to fast motion, and the part where he says, "I've got one more trick up me sleeve!" was also zoomed in, and the part where he says, "Ratfish!" was cut.[5]
