In the Grand Canyon, Barney and his put-upon burro try to capture a palomino pony the size of a mouse. The pony, unsurprisingly resists.

It's Dick Lundy trying to do a Tex Avery sort of cartoon, with frequent variations on the same gag, using Heck Allen as the screenwriter. It doesn't really work in the Avery style, but given Barney Bear's frequent appearances as one of MGM's cartoon stars, it's quite amusing in its assumptions and gag execution.
