Funny horse stories you'd like to share?!

hehe mine all come from ponies:D my little 13.2 did a dressage test a few years back which happened to have flowers on the letters unlike most of the horses who just trotted past mine felt it was a good opportunity to eat and stopped to grap a mouthful every single time past...judges and stewards not best impressed...:L hehe whoops! and our other pony used to create rodeo shows in the practise field because of her fun bucking game passers by would stop and watch at the gate for abit of sunday entertainment while i would repeatedly been thrown to floor! wasnt funny then but we all have many laughs now:D
 
I often amuse myself with my stupidity around horses.
My lad is so patient, I have arthritis and a dodgy hip, came back from a hack and couldn't get off, so I sat there trying to decide what to do, he stood waiting for me to do something, he chose the exact moment I went to get off to have a graze, resulting in me sliding down his neck, I have developed a method of getting off that doesn't result in me landing in a heap
 
I was off to my first ever pleasure ride after having a boozy barbie the night before, so was not at my best, I was brushing my lads tail when he went walkabout, with me trying to stop him by hanging onto his tail, it hadn't occurred to me to tie him up, god knows what my visitors thought, after doing the ride, I had totally seized up and had to be helped off, but I was still grinning and admiring my first rosette two days later, I still have it above my bed and I'm in my fifties
 
Was once getting a horse shod and he kind of spun round and whipped the farrier's anvil with his tail knocking some important tool off the anvil which we looked for for about 45 minutes in the most unlikely places (in the beds behind closed stable doors just in case it had flown underneath). Had no luck and we couldn't find it. Farrier resumed shoeing the horse and said ah, here it is, it had been stuck in his bloody tail the whole time:o:D
