	Intro
	Scene	Pferd is having a huge problem: should he eat the carrot first or the apple? Wolle comes running by, and asks Pferd what he is doing. As Pferd shares his problem with Wolle, he notices something different about him. Wolle explains that he and Samson have founded the Sesamstrasse sports club; Samson does weightlifting and Wolle does hurdling. Pferd asks if he can join and Wolle says he can, but Pferd needs to find out which sport he wants to do. Pferd don't know, so Wolle suggest that Pferd also can do hurdle race.
	Scene	Wolle shows Pferd the hurdle track and tries to explain the rules to him. But Pferd doesn't really understand it so Wolle decides to demonstrate it. Wolle runs the track and ducks under each hurdle. Pferd thinks it looks easy so he gives it a go, but he forgets to duck. Pferd concludes that hurdling is not his kind of sport, but he really wants to find one that he can do.
	Scene	Samson suggests that Pferd could try weightlifting out; after all, it's fun and easy to learn. Pferd decides to give it a try and he starts off with a small branch. After a couple of tries where he comes close to lifting it, he ends up falling over. Pferd is sad that there is no sport in the world that is good for a horse like him; all he knows how to do is eat, sleep and and maybe a little gallop every now and then. Wolle and Samson quickly tell Pferd that he has found his sport. Pferd realizes that they might be right and starts running around, while they all sing about doing sports. After the song, Pferd tells Wolle that he has decided what to eat first: the hurdle.
