As title really,
The person I own has fallen off me today and she says it was my fault! :eek: We were playing out with friends, about six of us, all with the people we own, to celebrate S's birthday (she is now very old). We went to the pub and there were some very odd things happening, lots of people were pulling on a rope to lift a barrel thing, which had a man in it! :eek: I was very good and did not jump about much. :D
After that we went up a road I had never been on before and trotted on, but I was behind my friend B. who only has little legs, so I decided to have a go at my very slow canter, which is more fun than my very slow trot, I got told off for that.
Then we sent on a track we had never been on before, I went infront, cos I am able to run faster than the others and get a bit 'overexcited' if I am near the back. All was going well, although I was not allowed to go as fast as I wanted and the others were catching up, when a scarey black plastic flapply thing threatened to get my legs! :o The person I own thought that I would jump it, but it could still have got me, so I stopped, just like that, in a nano second, and silly yorksg fell off, she did a somersault and landed on her back. I pretended that she was nothing to do with me and ate some grass that we had stopped by. :)
She eventually got back on and we came home. She says it is my fault and the first time she has fallen off in about 30 years! I find it hard to believe :D She also says if I had not put my head down, she would have stayed on, she did keep hold of my reins though :)
Best wishes

Dear Appy,

she kept hold of the reins? Usually when the Carrot Lady falls off, I just go home. She catches up eventually! Just if you run home, be sure to look both ways before crossing the road!

Carrots,

Hi Spooky,
I had no intention of running off, I was with friends! I just tried to pretend that I did not know the ridiculous woman who was lying on the ground, making noises like she couldn't breath :) Very embarassasasaing :o
 
My human fell off when we were jumping. The fence was all of 2' and just 'cos I jumped a bit high she fell off!!!

I showed her how to do it properly and jumped the other 3 fences on my own. She just lay on the floor and used very naughty words that offended my ears.
 
Hello Current Appy,

Well-done for dumping your rider, they need to learn don't they!

When thelwell_girl fell off, (I don't see how she could, we were only jumping tiny weeny cross pole, which was SO beneath my flying-cob status) I just stood there and laughed at her, she had landed on her big bum! :D
 
Can't answer on behalf of the horse with this one as I was using one of my RI's horses when I came off last week but I can verify that landing on your back knocks the breath out of you just a bit :eek: and makes you sound as though you have just run a marathon :eek: :rolleyes: :o




I hung onto the reins too :p :D
 
Hi Current Appy

Nice one! It doesn't do to let these humans get too complacent. I'm having a nice holiday in the field just now as my human is on box rest, but when she's back in action I've got a few surprises in store so I can return to my life of idleness. Do you think 'walk to bronco bucks' or '180 degree spook' is most likely to dislodge her? Any other suggestions welcome!
 
What were they thinking of takeing you lot to the pub, and I bet they didn't even buy you a shandy to slacken your thirst, or maybe the owner was the one who had the shandy and got a bit wobbly in the saddle.:D:D:D:D:D:D
