How much money would you get off your horse for

[poiuytrewq]

Out hacking just now, on the old goat - alone because of daughters horse being injured. I can hear in the distance (round imminent corner) the building side in full swing, I know I'm likely to have a slight issue with getting past and had forgotten my whip just incase.
When out if the corner of my eye I see £10 on the floor. I stay put. I know if I get off 1. It's a long way til I get to something I can clamber back on off and 2. Old goat is highly likely to nap and after seeing him rearing I don't really want a fight on my hands.
It's only a tenner and I can drive back and see if it's still there.... Then I see £20... And leap off!
So I have £30 but can't get back on. I also know full well having doubled back ever so slightly to get the £10 no way are we continuing in the correct direction towards the busing site.
So we take a detour and he's a complete ar** and I wonder if it was actually worth it😂

I'd have been off at the sight of the tenner I'd find somewhere to get back on soon enough.

 

[Sheep]

To be completely honest, I would be off for 50p!

 

[PorkChop]

I'd have been off at the sight of the tenner I'd find somewhere to get back on soon enough.

Me too

 

[Kezzabell2]

yeh I'd have defo done the same! £30 that's would pay almost half a set of shoes! or a few bags of feed!!

 

[Enfys]

That's a weeks worth of horse feed, I would be off like a shot, mind, Estrella IS only 13.1h

Regardless of size I'd get off, knowing my luck though it would only be a piece of rubbish that looked like a bank note, so then I would have a grotty piece of scrap paper screwed up in my pocket for the entire winter

This ^^^

No I wouldn't get off for 50p but a tenner or better still 30 quid, most definitely! Of course I then ride to the nearest police station and hand it in

 

[Shavings]

To be completely honest, I would be off for 50p!

THIS!! /\

To be truthful i found a £10 note once but a large 8 legged beast was on it so i left it ! not challenging some thing with so many legs!!

 

[oldie48]

Fantastic, so you found it! I wondered where I'd dropped it.

 

[SuperH]

To be completely honest, I would be off for 50p!

Haha me too. I can get back on both of mine though

 

[chillipup]

fantastic, so you found it! I wondered where i'd dropped it.

lol

 

[crabbymare]

I would have been off at the first note and considered the second one a bonus

 

[caileag]

On a riding school hack many moons ago, myself and a junior instructor spotted a tenner on the road. We hung back a bit, she jumped down and got I helped her back on, we split it later.

 

[Brightbay]

To be completely honest, I would be off for 50p!

Me too. Notes, he would probably pick up for me - he will pick up a dropped glove

 

[poiuytrewq]

Fantastic, so you found it! I wondered where I'd dropped it.

Exact location please Oldie48!!!

 

[Gentle_Warrior]

I was thinking about this today. Stopped to give the old boy a mint. I stay on and he stretches round to my foot.

I dropped them though. Was pondering on getting off but thought better of it and he did not seem to care at bending but not getting a mint! !

I would be off for a fiver. And take the blisters from the walk home!!! Lol

 

[PolarSkye]

To answer the original question - a fiver - my boy was quite the dancer in his day - liked to stand on his hind legs too - on a road in heavy traffic - and spin. Fun, eh?

However - now that I know I can never ride him again, I'd give a shedload of money just to sit on him one more time.

P

 

[FfionWinnie]

20p would be enough. But I have a 14.1 cob and long legs

 

[OldNag]

If those notes have got pics of the Queen's head on.... they're mine

 

[ShadowHunter]

If those notes have got pics of the Queen's head on.... they're mine

This even if i had to walk home, totally worth it!

 

[oldie48]

Just in front of you. The £20 note was purplish with the queens head head on it and the tenner was pale orange, I think it may have had Darwin on the reverse side but I'm not absolutely sure. There was a bit of a light breeze, so they might have blown a bit. Where exactly did you find them?

Exact location please Oldie48!!!

 

[Feathered]

I think I'd get off for a quid, for paper money most definitely!

 

[soulfull]

Hmm. Depends how sore I was (I am disabled) and how far I would have to limp home if I couldn't find something very substantial to get back on, if I wasn't too sore to consider walking or remounting
if not more than a 5 mins walk then £20 plus. Any longer than that and I would ride home and rush back in the car lol

 

[Dizzle]

Why do you think I own a 13.2hh, despite being 5ft 8 ;-)

 

[Kat]

Oops duplicate!

 

[Kat]

Off my (nearly)16hh horse with a treeless saddle it would have to be paper money. Off the 13.2hh I borrow....... considerably less! If I'm groom on the carriage anything!

 

[flirtygerty]

I would get off for £30, mind I got on my 17 2hh TB from the ground, no money involved, just to avoid wading through a knee deep stream

 

[AppyLover]

it's 2 weeks till payday at this point i'd probably get off for £5 or maybe less lol but i guess i don't actually have a riding horse to get off of but next year I'm sure i will need the thought of potential floor money to distract me so I don't think everything will spook Ted and get sent flying haha

 

[MouseInLux]

This is one of the reasons that I'm an adult riding a pony (a big one but still a pony). I'd get off for the £10 or even £5 because I can get back on easiy

 

[Boulty]

I'd've been off for the tenner (having spent a few moments working out if I could lean down and reach it with a stick or something cos I'm lazy) buuut I have a 14.2 so only a small slope or fence is needed for remounting!
