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 ?

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!
 
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 :oops:

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

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! ??

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 ??

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.
