Anyone else had a strange experience whilst hacking out?

Had quite a few in my many years, including the parked cars on tracks. At the time I worked at a riding school and the whole ride used to bang on the roof as we went past.
My favourite one is taking a ride up a field where we used to gallop and, as we went through the gate, meeting a flasher. The horses were all quite gee'd up ready to go and my friend, who was also escorting, shouted "let's get him" and we set off at a fair pace. The bloke obviously thought we were chasing him and legged it. Thirty years later I still wonder whether he made it over the barbed wire intact :-)
 
My old girl always loved to be nosey and have a really good stare. One time we almost fell over a naturist sunbathing on his towel and yes, she put her head down and inspected him very closely. I was so embarrassed. Another time, not too far away she stopped and stared at the trees opposite and a few seconds later a naked man emerged, walked down to the edge of the river and then went back up the hill into the trees. Never did work that one out. There was a regular flasher about too but sadly I managed to miss him every time, even though people riding by just a few minutes behind me, saw him. On Sunday mornings the hedge along one section would bear (used, yuk) rubber "fruit" because the local prozzies took their clients down the lane there when it was dark.

Slightly off-topic, when I was doing my A levels we went out on a field trip and drove to an old airfield to park up . In the middle was a car which contained a happy couple busy getting their exercise. Cheeky teacher drove past REALLY slowly and we all had a good gawp, then he suggested we drive round again, just to make sure of what we'd seen. Poor couple, imagine having a minibus full of giggling 17 year olds staring at them. It has to be said I've never seen a bloke pull up his trousers quite that quick before or since.

And I speak as someone who has enjoyed some al fresco tristes. Don't condemn it til you've tried it for yourself :) Just watch out for thistles and nettles!
 
A little different but was out riding with a friend last week after work and we decided we could definately smell Wacky Backy on our route home! We carried on to pass a car full of young lads (the culprits) who looked terrified when they saw us and promptly sped off, screeching tyres an' all.
We mused over why they panicked so much and then realised we were totally kitted out in 'polite' gear!!

The funniest one yet by far:D:D:D:D:D:D
 
I was riding along a bridlepath and saw a cyclist coming towards me. At first I thought he was wearing pinkish cycle shorts and matching top till I got closer and realised he was totally naked.

He just said good afternoon as if he wasn't doing anything out of the ordinary.
 
This summer I went on a hack early one morning, I was riding along the bridle path, when I bumped into a man on his bike around a corner….. A butt naked man with only wellies on!!! He had to stop as there is only enough room for a horse. I burst out laughing in his face, and asked him if he was a bit cold and pointed at his little fella.

Lol but I couldn't wear wellies without socks.....

Wonder if it was the same man ? Any distinguishing features ??
 
We have encountered a VW Golf with a wind turbine attached to the roof whilst hacking a out. The poor horses did'nt know which way to leap as he came sailing on by. Admittidely he had turn it off, but its was still squeaking.
 
When I was a teenager many years ago was riding round the farm and having a good blowout with my horse to come up the track to find a couple naked in a MG with the top down (thank goodness) the car was totally blocking the track and I could not stop so did the only thing I could and kicked on and jumped the car. Told Dad and brothers when I got home and my brothers spent most of the summer on the look out.

That summer also had Dads combine driver coming to ask Dad if he had seen a naked couple. Dad said no why and Robert said well I have just combined there clothes and they legged out of the big barley field.

I was trying not to look down as the view from 16.2 was quite graphic. Can't say I noticed what he was wearing on his feet.

LOL :D


Not quite the same but I was hacking out with a couple of friends and one had got herself a new boyfriend so had had a Hollywood down below on her foo foo (I had to ask as never heard of a hollywood :o)
We were laughing about it as we went round a corner to be met by five mountain bikers. They pulled over to let us pass and as we went past I was in front and said 'watch out lads we've got a baldie here' The guy at the back was bald and said 'thats a bit personal' so I replied 'not you - her at the back'. She wasn't even past the first guy at that point. She got a cheer and a round of applause but didn't know where to put herself :D
She's still not forgiven me two years later.:p
 
Never seen anything like this whilst hacking but did whilst walking my dogs in a rather deserted area. Three of the dogs suddenly bounded through some bushes and didn't reappear. When I went to check I found a man and woman, both stark naked, and in the midst of very active sex. The dogs were sniffing around them but the couple seemed oblivious to the interruption. I hurried on!!
 
The strangest thing I've encountered was a huge dining table which would have seated 10 fully laid for a very formal meal... complete with ornate candle holders and high backed chairs!! This was in a field in the middle of nowhere and not a soul to be seen anywhere!!!
 
There's a spot in the woods near a golf course locally that men lurk in it where I used to walk the dog. I've stopped my boys walking up there with the dog because of it.

After 6 months of avoiding the area I went on a Thursday morning at 11am thinking the coast would be clear... sadly not. They even had a chihuaha with them. Apparently it is an excuse to go into the woods. I was thinking of photographing their cars and sticking them on Twitter.
 
Yes. I have gone past a very loved couple who were doing what they shouldn't be in the backseat. However, I did not realise and their car was blocking my way (private road) so I knocked on the window and asked them to move. Needless to say they drove off pretty quickly and haven't been there since.
 
One morning years ago was walking down a very steep slippy road and thought I'd caught out a man taking a leak at the side of the road. Could'nt trot on as was scared horse might slip so dawdled past, looking straight ahead thinking he may be deaf lol - as I got level with him he turned around, weapon in hand, so to speak, and stared at me while giving it some!!! Did report it to police.........
 
Me and a friend met the naked rambler a few years ago. There had been quite a bit of publicity about the guy at the time as he was walking around the uk, naked apart from a large hat. There was friend and I hacking along a large field only to encounter this guy in a big wide brimmed hat and a rucksack and nothing else. He bellowed a big good morning and rambled past us. How we made it back to the yard because we were laughing so hard I will never know. But another story for cold winter nights and a few glasses of wine ha ha:D
 
When I was 15 I was hacking along a farm track to a field when a man hopped out of his car and pulled his trousers UP. We cantered on rather hurriedly. If he had stayed put I would have been non the wiser.

Whilst hacking the same horse in the same area I saw £40 floating across the field, turns out that is good incentive to dismount and remount a 16.2 from the floor! My mum made me contact the neighbouring farmer to see if any of his lads had lost any money. Then she let me keep it!
 
My oh took his mum to a local wildlife reserve and came across two men at it:rolleyes: I caught a couple at it in a car down a lane in the gateway to my field. Was quite amusing as they got rather a fright. :D

Aw see he's always struck me as fairly harmless. I don't know why anyone would waste time locking up a poor soul like that! Talk about a waste of tax payers' money!


Some of these stories are hilarious though, I've been laughing so hard :D
 
Place down the road from our yard thats renowned for "dogging".

Years ago a girl from our yard went hacking round the field and some guy jumped out the ditch and flashed her, she galloped all the way home!

Never seen anything myself, the strangest I've seen is an old man who was walking along the foot path and he must have thought that by standing still instead of walking on normally, he wouldn't scare the horse, horse spots him and freezes at this old fella who just stood there randomly in the field!:eek:

An Elephant????

Seriously, had you guys been doing hallucinogenics? lol

Jesus, trying to imagine what my cob would do if she saw an elephant! She craps herself if she sees a donkey! :D
When I was a kid in the seventies we had woods opposite us and rode in them all the time. There was a chap who wandered around who was known as 'the Red Knicker Man' - he wore a pair of red undies and a brown paper bag on his head!!!
Strangely, nothing was ever done about him by our parents or police, he must have been considered harmless. My mum used to say "leave him alone and don't bother him, he won't bother you" . He hung around for years with no problems.
I used to get a lot of steamed up cars in the lane by my old yard. must have been a well known local meeting place for a lunchtime quickie :D
My girls would stand by the fence, gazing hopefully at the rocking car, thinking they might get fed something nice. Probably a bit disconcerting for the shaggers! :D

Love this! Would love to have heard their explanation of what had happened to their clothes!
 
The same as many people when I worked on a racing yard, myself, work mate, the boss and his mum were hacking to our gallops along quite a busy country lane, we walk through a gap to go into a field and a man and woman of about 60ish are doing the dirty at 11:30 in the morning, what made it so funny was my bosses mum laughing so loudly she spooked my friends horse and he ended up on the floor on top of the old gentlemans pants! The mans dogs then chased after my friend so the man went running after his dog with his dogs with his bare bum out for all to see!
I am scarred for life!
