Eventing in the heat...

[iknowmyvalue]

He looks like he’s finding that easy! Days like that happen to all of us, hope you’re not too sore tomorrow ?

He found it so easy. He jumped beautifully. It was totally my fault I made the wrong decision to do nothing and sit and wait!

thsnk you! My arse is sore but it’s well padded ?

 

[SEL]

Ooh that was a big pop! Glad you're ok and he just thought it was an unusual dismount.

if he could have rolled his eyes at me he would have ? anyway he got a big pat and a kiss as soon as I got off my arse and I’ll have to make it up to him somehow!

I am annoyed at myself that I didn’t sit it. 6 years and I’ve only ever fallen off him showjumping once before that ?‍

Still if the rest of the round had been awful I’d be feeling seriously down!

 

[The Fuzzy Furry]

Oops, sorry it ended quite so quickly, glorious reminder of a photo tho ?
Glad you are ok and fit to fight another day!

 

[Michen]

Thank you TFF! X

 

[tda]

? glad you landed ok, and no injuries.

Bog makes the height look very easy! Riding is a real leveller - a German rider got pinged out of the saddle at the World Championship showjumping in Denmark last night. Cost Gernany a medal! (And allowed team GB to sneak bronze) And he is number 21 in the world. So you are in exceptional company. He actually did not even present wrong. He just fell off

Great pic. I know horses give fences lots of air on occasion but probably not a good idea for the rider! I hope you are not too sore. good luck for next week.

 

[BBP]

Great picture!

 

[Bernster]

Oops, you went up, he kept going! Hope you’re ok. You did get a good photo though ?

Omg AE you have made me feel so much better- thank u!!!

Amber pinged me off once too. Her back end came up like Bog’s does in that pic and I was catapulted over her head ?

Oh what a bummer - at least neither of you any worse for wear!

 

[Kat]

Well it was worth it for that photo!

 

[splashgirl45]

Love the photo, he did give it a lot of air, hope you recover ok and have fun next week and good luck, looking forward to some nice pics and maybe some videos

 

[teapot]

Love the photo, sorry you and Bog didn't get to go xc!

 

[Michen]

Yes here’s where his front feet ended up… jeez. If I’d just managed to shove my lower leg forward but I completely wasn’t expecting it. I should have been more secure in the saddle though.

Don’t think I’ve ever been so high in the air on the back of a horse in my life!

Thanks everyone. I am itching to get back out there and do it again-argh!

 

[scats]

Glad you’re ok and enjoyed your flight with Air Boggle ?
One of my favourite videos ever is my friend getting pinged off over a tiny fence at a farm ride. Horse jumped it like it was about 4 foot and up she went.
I keep it on my phone to watch when I need cheering up! ??

LOL I think I'll be doing the same for many years to come!!

 

[Bernster]

Air Boggle hahahahaha

 

[Elf On A Shelf]

Well at least it took the pressure off of competing in the heat in the end ?

Onwards and upwards as they say! Or maybe not quite so "upwards" next time on your behalf ??

Air Boggle ???

Omg yes decision made for me. Also I really didn't want to jump that one of the XC fences and it crossed my mind as I hit the dirt that I wouldn't have to go XC- happy days- ha!

The pro photos are so funny, I'm just wondering whether I can justify £30 on them.

 

[Michen]

Yes... yes I think I can. It's important to remember ALL eventing days

That grin in photo 2 is my "I don't have to go XC and jump the trakehener" grin!

 

[ihatework]

My chap had fun!

 

[OldNag]

Air Boggle

Glad the fall was nothing nasty - that's one biiig jump he put in!

 

[Honey08]

Eek. Was that in the 100?

 

[Upthecreek]

I know.. he’s so embarrassed by me! He stopped straight away and actually sighed ?.
