Fun thread- stupid things you've said...

In my misspent motorbiking youth; on discussing an absent friend, "oh, yes, he's the one with the big, black chopper"' answered by "and you know that how?"
 
A good friend of mine and I were out on a hack, she was on my 13.1 Welsh x Fell pony and I was on my TB. We came to a field which we normally have a good canter through and my friend grinned at me so I said 'Oh go on then!' She knew the pony was quick but not THAT quick. Pony launched off of her hind legs in to flat out gallop and all I heard was 'Aleeeeeeeex I've got no brakesssss....' Trailing off in to the distance. All I could do was shout back 'Hold on!! She'll stop at the other end!!!!' Needless to say she did, almost throwing my friend out the side door.. All she could say when I caught up was 'WOW that was fun, can we so it again??' :)
 
A couple of years ago, I was having one of those distracted days, and was grooming before tacking up for a ride. I called across to my friend who was just cleaning her pony's hooves, "could you pass me the tooth pick please?".

Needless to say, the item you use to clean your horse's hooves has been officially known as "The Tooth Pick" round here since then :o

ETA, I seem to do a lot of these... Ladies who choose to ride their horses while sitting to one side instead of astride are "side salad" :D
 
i told my mum that izzy had spooked at a man in the fridge what i really meant to say was, izzy spooked at a man in the woods.

in all fairness i was suffering from baby brain and lack of sleep x
 
Not me, but my boss. As I hit the deck at high speed, off a two year old racehorse. "If you'd grabbed the neckstrap like I told you to - you wouldn't have fallen off".My response - through gritted teeth "I did grab the f'ing neckstrap".

I had taken the neck strap AND the bridle with me as I nose dived. Subsequently found out that its quite hard to catch a baby racehorse doing victory laps of the school with no bridle on!

Omg hilarious
 
I've always wondered why people say "what happened" when you have just got up from the floor from something like a spook/rear/buck.

Well... it was like this... I'M NOT DOCTOR DOOLITTLE!

I also had a laugh at a Hunter Trial a couple of week ago, 2 ladies clearly there supporting this particular girl, along she comes to the water splash and both women start shouting "go on, go on, go on". Horse stops, the women turn to each other and one says "Ohhhhh, I said GO ON didn't I, but no, she wasn't listening". Poor girl, her supersonic hearing had clearly failed her that day.
