Ok its one of these fun posts that leaves everyone giggling and i need a lift at the moment :D so has your horse ever embarrassed you?


i have 2 that comes to mind!


i was riding along the beach as you do middle of summer in white jods and white bra and vest top happily cantering across the beach when i spotted a sand island knowing the beach as i grew up right next to it for 12 years i carried on thinking the water wasn't deep and bam! me and horse disappear i fall off get up soaked catch my horse then ofc i click im ALL IN WHITE! Que quick mount up and hugging horses neck till i got home lucky not far from beach, never wore white on beach again while riding!


Another was riding passed a group of very attractive men in trot when my horse decided to fart each beat of his trot i was mortified!
 
At a Pony Club interbranch ODE, I was waiting at the showjumping, chatting to someone from another branch, when horse put's his head down and I come straight off. I looked so incompetent, luckily I then did a reasonable jumping round and then left for the horsebox pretty sharpish....
 
Oh yes, only a few weeks ago I was having a lesson on Bodey, we were just starting the lesson doing some canter poles (bare in mind we have been jumping 2ft9 courses), got to the end of the canter poles, Bodey went left and I went right, queue me in a heap on the sand. How embarrassed was I?!

I took Badger the Fjord to a very little jumping show, we were just warming up for the bottom hole class, when he decided to have a spook at the light on the floor in the indoor school. Queue me again on the sand (I did hang on for a few seconds). The embarrassing bit was all the 10 year olds, going ‘are you ok?’! :rolleyes:
 
Yup, was warming up at a show, he decided he didn't WANT to canter a circle, put his head down and dumped me on the ground right in front of a cute guy on a horse. I didn't even get to speak to him, as Dylan immediately hightailed back to the horsebox, so I had to leg it after him!
 
Once, I was on a pub ride and we were at the pub waiting for the drinks when my pony tipped over one of the benches in the car park! :o
 
My first pony did quite often!! We use to ride down this particular road quite often. He was very strong and used to drag me up one particular drive, poo on the drive and then carry on on the ride!! He did this EVERY time we went down this road and only on that one drive??!!!
 
yes big style, aged 16, out for a hack - cute guy pulls up in car behind us at a junction after passing us a few times.
Cue pony decides nows a good time for a pee - all over his bonnet, his fault for being so close but still mortified wasn't the word.
(still have said pony and she still stops to pee in the middle of the road on hacks strange creature
 
Constantly :rolleyes: in fact pretty much everything they do- I tell Nice New Sharer that they don't buck and what do you think they start to do immediately? That's right. :mad:

Once showed my mare for sale and when cantering around a corner (on the right leg, balanced, on the bit) I start to somehow fall off, can't understand this at all and then halfway around horse's side I realise that I didn't do my girth up so I land in a heap on the floor. Mare stops and eyes me in a disgusted way. In fairness, that was me embarrassing the horse but I thought I should tell the story anyway as it makes me smile (now).:o
 
Yup, at a local show, horse dumps me, leaves show ground, and trots on the correct side of the road all the way back to his yard, with me huffing and panting running behind him in long boots.... ta

And current share horse sees man watering front garden with a watering can, plants himself and will not for love nor money shift, pony club kicking, smacking, nothing, so have to ask the man to stop watering, as I go past "thankyou" " oh thats ok young'un is he" "erm no 17, and really should know better"!!!
 
I was on a hack and was walking up this street, but i had to move onto the pavement as a car was coming down and there was no room to move anywhere else, so of cource my boy had a big poo right infront of a gate while the owner of the house was in the garden watching...didnt help that he was a snooty posh man either, his face was a picture!!
 
Dizzy having a dizz moment. Backed into the only blasted vehicle in the road! Put a Dizzy-ar$e shaped dent in the back door. The owner was stood watching in horror! Cost me £40 - flaming expensive hack :o :(
