Inspired by bex1984's post below (sorry bex!). Whats the daftest/silliest embarrassing thing you've done which, if caught on camera, would have earnt you £200 and 5 minutes of fame on you've been framed?

I have probably got several!

The handy pony round with Frankie where I had to take a run up to the tiny X pole, and he stopped and carefully demolished it by walking through it, hoof by hoof. Actually, that is on camera
blush.gif


The CCTV which shows me sauntering out of feed room, doing a double take at the fact that frankie was half way out of his supposedly bolted door, and a classic slapstick theme where I ran after him and ineffectively tugged on his headcollar to get him out of the neighbour's feedbin, whilst a bystander (his owner!) stood doubled over in hysterics.
blush.gif


slowly revolving around F and into a stream because my girth wasn't tight enough, and the pony I was leading said no thanks...
blush.gif


Okay I'm done, I'm not going to admit to any more! Your turn!
 
I once got bit by a pellican in Florida, We sent it into You've Been Framed but they sent it back claiming it was child cruelty because you could hear my dad saying 'Go on, give it a stroke, Closer, closer' until it turned round and bit me!

Theres also been lots of falling overs that I wish I had on camera
grin.gif
 
Getting catapaulted over a bouncy mare's neck after she popped a small wall and me then landing in front of her, on my feet, facing her. holding reins. Twice.

Getting proper bogged out hunting, one minute galloping along, the next minute the front end of the horse had disappeared and I was spreadeagled on a Grade A showjumper's backside.

Bouncing out of the saddle and out the front door at the same tiny fence three times because I refused to lengthen my stirrups.

Having my boob bitten.

Getting kneed in the face.

Plenty of slapstick chasing dogs who were chasing cats

Either....

Hanging onto my horses tail flap as he navigated his way through the indoor stables to turn himself out......

OR

Slipping down the ramp between my stables and the main barn, whilst carrying a bucket of water...
blush.gif


OR

Pulling my haynet up through the bailer-twine attached to the ring.....at full pull, it snapped and left me in a heap on the straw bed with a haynet on my chest....

Accident prone...me?
 
Sitting 4 FANTASTIC bucks from a youngster me and my dad broke then falling off on my head when he shook all over at the end LOL!!
 
My coblet had been a really good girl. Was walking across the centre of the school on a long rein cooling down. We both hear a tiny noise at the bottom of the school... Cue - coblet spinning and bolting for the gate, saddle slipping to the right, me hanging on cossack style on her right trying to pull me and saddle upright...being flung off when gravity takes over in the top corner. And no, my girth was NOT loose...just one of those freak things that can happen when your horse has a tabletop back.... Needless to say, now have a breast plate !!
 
Dying for a wee, too lazy to go over to house, so I'm in the corner of the stable with joddies and knickers round my ankles when horse decides to have a roll......hind legs waving backwards and forwards coming far too close to me for comfort
crazy.gif
 
I've done the sliding around the horses belly one, too. Went to open the manege gate, horse moved sideways and the saddle slipped - I was hopping around trying to get off.

And the time a pony I used to ride was playing up when being lunged so I got on, said I wanted stirrups because ' I hadn't fallen off of him, yet' (didn't plan on doing it any time soon.) Lunger says 'nooo, you'll be fine' and swiftly flicks him on the butt with the lunge whip - pony starts bronching and I fly off and land on my feet. Cue laughter from lunger, me and about 10 people watching. Hmm.. she was just jealous because he had thrown her off already
mad.gif
tongue.gif
Would have been funny on video.


ETA I also once saw someone sneeze and fall off the horse whilst it was standing still.
 
Last summer my daughter (then 4) was learning to canter. I always knot her reins singularly so at the knots she's got a good steady (even) contact.

She just didnt get what i meant when i was explaining the aids and how to 'sit' so in my infinate wisdom I decided to demonstrate. No hat, just me in flip flops, 3/4 length jeans, vest top and sunglasses perched on my head. Stirrups were way too short so i just took them off. I stood child in the centre of the field with her brother and told them to watch me.
Off I went, steady trot, round, into canter. At the top i stopped and said "did you see that?". "nooo" the kids replied. "well, I'll do it again... please watch" and off i went, steady trot, round, into canter and... pony sticks it's head down, I'd got ther reins UNDER the knots, I was pulled out of the saddle, three strides of me perched on his neck thinking "gonna fall... head or backside?" and did a roll off the front. Pony stood looking amused. Kids howling with laughter, neighbours trying NOT to laugh.
One A&E trip later I discovered i'd fractured my coxyx.

Pony is 10hh

Ooh I love these replies!! Maybe we should send them in to H&C TV for a new show!

Just remembered a few more, like when I went from walking a horse on a livery yard I work on to sat down on my bum, seemingly without the middle bit of falling, in the ice a few weeks ago. Both feet had gone straight forward and i was just sat, legs together out front and horse stood next to me, looking down at me with a mildly amused expression!

Having jumped and knocked down a pole, F turning around and picking up the pole and putting it back in its holder. Sadly that was a one off, I wish I could train him to do that every time!
grin.gif
 
while at my friend's stables, going behind one of the trees in the field to go to the loo, and while going to the loo her welshie coming up and nudging me the entire time, before head butting me so i fell over!

I NEED to train Scooby to do that!

I think slipping on the ramp up to the muckheap, hauling on the wheelbarrow in an attempt to stay upright and ending up flat on my back with a barrowload of wet shavings and poo tipped all over me, is probably my finest YBF moment! Similarly, a rather spectacular fall on the ice where my legs came out from under me and I slammed down on my back could have earned me some cash...

I think that for true entertainment, I just need to film myself lunging Scooby! We are a bit rubbish, but we do have fun... today's lunging session degenerated into a mad attempt to free school him over jumps where I ended up jumping more than he did...
tongue.gif
 
MIne would be when I went to catch in a horse at the other end of a large field. I had just clipped the leadrope on when something spooked him and he and the rest of the herd set off at full gallop back towards the gate, and for some reason I didn't let go of the rope! So just like in a cartoon I got dragged along behind him, on my belly across a muddy field. I came out looking a right state! Fortunately I was only young at the time so most people just felt sorry for me rather than laughing at me (that I know of)!

blush.gif
cool.gif


My youve been framed: Was out on a hack when me and friend found amazing open field, being a little bit naughty we decided to have a good gallop on it! My horse spooked at the cow in the next field I landed on my bum tumbled to the fence to look up at loads of mooing cows..

we have to walk through a flood to get to field. Water was up to horses belly and was watching my mum wade through it the other day to get the boys and bring them bk (i'm so mean). Mine starts to go through then starts paddling and splashing. water goes over my mums head, everywhere, shes soaked right through..... i just stand at other side wetting myself and unable to do anything
laugh.gif
 
naturally I love the fact that Frankie was involved in all of yours!!

done the pony shakes fall off one!

prob other best was cantering along in sea on 12.2 pony (I was 18 by then) with friend. Blue barrel floating in sea so friend heads up beach and I dont bother as pony never spooks. Pony spots friend up beach, then spots barrel spooks and leaves me in sea
wink.gif

PMSL! Lets see. Owned/ridden horses for 20 odd years. known Frankie 3 or 4 years. Hmm.
 
I've had a couple;

With my 4yo at a local clear round competition, we were going ok, but my horse was doing huge bucks after every fence and kicking out. Came to the last fence which was a 1 strided double, jumped the first element, managed to grind to a halt at the second element, at which point my horse decided the grass on the otherside of the jump looked rather tasty, so he put his head down, which I wasn't expecting, so I did a proper roly poly straight down his neck, and ended up sitting on the floor!

Another time I was having a jumping lesson, I came round to a fence, my horse tried to stop, then jumped from a stand still. I somehow managed to be jumped off, and landed on my horses bum. At this point she bucked and sent me flying straight over her head!!!!!
 
Multiple occasions of almost-gallop into jump, then slamming on the anchors at the very last minute, sending me catapulting over the jump alone.

Slipping on the ice whilst carrying a full water bucket and pouring it all over me.

Sneezing when Dylan's face was in front of me and headbutting him - he was so upset and offended he wouldn't let me near him for about 10 minutes.

I'll add more if I think of any

....if I had a pound everytime I have done this.... I would probably have a tenner lol

The most embarrassing one was when I was on a mare at a show, and as I went in the ring they announced she was for sale.... I fell off in this manner at the 2nd fence
blush.gif
whoooooopsie
blush.gif
needless to say, no one approached us to buy her that day!

ALMAO! I would have paid to see that!

I have sat to some impressive horse antics and not fallen off.
smirk.gif
The problem with being smug is karma..... one day I was sat on my horse at a show, stood perfectly still, my horse didn't move a muscle and I proper did a dramatic 'near fall off'....
blush.gif
Everyone was starring at me as I squealed and was clinging on lol!
blush.gif
tongue.gif


One of my favourites was when I was doing up Sammi's girth with cold hands, my hand slipped and I punched myself in the nose good and proper! ouchies - made my eyes water lol! xx
grin.gif
 
Walking down a sleepy village street in Cyprus on my horse when suddely a door opens and an old lady dressed in black comes scurrying out. Horse does an impression of a Harrier Jump Jet neatly popping sideways over a small wall down into someones garden. Then decided there was no way he could jump back out. I had to use my pigeon Greek to ask them nicely to unlock the gate and let us out whilst my hacking buddy sat on her horse laughing like a drain!
 
there are too many of mine to mention, mainly falling off!

but one of my favourites (not horsey but nvm) is when my bf came to help me do the yard in the evening and we were feeding the VERY hungry sheep. i start emptying my bucket of feed into one trough, and bf is walking towards next trough with another bucket. not wanting to wait for his arrival one of the ewes runs, jumping over second trough, toward me straight through bfs legs!!!! now, said sheep being heavily pregnant at the time there was no way shes was fitting so for a good 5 meters bf is carried backwards sat ontop of this sheep til she reaches the feed. needless to say, i was in stitches and not helping him off
laugh.gif
greedy sod of a sheep that 1 was!
 

Let me see...............

Showing my 29" mini shetty stallion in a mixed M&M class.

I was directed by the Steward to line up next to a welsh D mare in season. I told the steward that he was a stallion but was told I had to stay where I was!!!!!

My boy was very good and knew that he had to behave until.... We had to present to the Judge and then run up in hand. As I finished my run up and just going past said mare he could no longer contain himself and needed to show off so he reared up and.........

Came down with his hoof in the pocket of my pull on posh cord showing trousers!
Next thing I know my trousers are round my ankles along with the pony who then tripped me up so I fell on top of him.

Not sure what was more embarrasing. The flowery pants that I was wearing or the pic that was taken my the local photographer under the caption " Bottoms up"

Didn't help that I was Secretary of the local riding club at the time.
 
When I was younger and a lot more agile
smile.gif
I have got on from the ground and had so much bounce I fell off the other side
smile.gif


And one I can't belive I am going to admit to......getting dressed in a hurry, picking jeans up off the floor etc etc, not planning to ride, getting to the yard and friend wanting to ride so I changed my mind and decided to go with her, tacked up, jumped on and a pair of knickers fell out the bottom of my jeans in the middle of the yard and someone picked them up and handed them to me with a " I take it these are yours" * holds head in hands* I was a teenager at the time *blush*
 
Not horsey but i just had a funny one. Housemate just dyed my hair, so we put a folding chair in the kitchen, on tiled floor. I go to plonk down, chair collapses pretty heavily underneath me. Cue me sat on the floor, flat on my back, on top of a mangled wreckage of a chair. It quite hurt but i was too busy laughing to notice at first lol
 
ROFLMAOOOOOOO!
smirk.gif
I was howling reading that post *wipes tears from eyes* lol! xx
grin.gif


Bottoms up..... te he heeee I have got proper belly giggles! Do I dare ask if you got a copy of said photo?? xx
grin.gif
 
OH was riding his mare in the schooling ring....at the far end, near the smoking muck heap she stopped and had a cough....a really really big belly cough......and farted at the same time- it was so loud we heard it at the other end- it was a real converstaion stopper....

OH quickly got off to check she was ok....he was worridly checking her over.........meanwhile, we were clinging onto the fence with laughter....
 
My very steady mare decided to send me for a swim in the North sea in November. We went in up to her knees and when we turned round to walk out she decided to jump the waves with a bit too much excitement and i came straight off and full submerged.

Lesson 1: always take a change of clothes to the beech.
 
most cringeworthy by far was taking a young just backed stallion to his first show, ring for stallions & colts had just a 3ft high white picket fence around it, than half way through class ( 6 of us in it) the class in the next ring enter ONE GUESS!! yup pretty mare! my boy took a fancy to a cute little arab who was very in season & tarting along the picket fence.

so me a very lightweight young rider on 17 hands of ID suddenly find ourselves catleaping sideways over the picket fence & mounting said mare, cue mares rider screaming & climbing up mares neck in panic & me sat hopelessly yanking on reins, booting him in sides & hurling abuse at him to get off!! like he was listening
blush.gif
(it is not a motion that is easy to sit to!!
blush.gif

the whole sorry incident was on video too but i think (hope!) it got lost when parents moved house.
