It would appear we don't need any coloured things to get ourselves in trouble.
I thought we were being really well behaved but a mum was heard to tell her kids on their ponies. Make sure you stay well away from the little dark horse
A friend did my entry for a cross country once & changed my first name to Begonia!
So as I went round the course I had to listen to the commentator repeatedly called me Begonia; I fell off half way round & broke my wrist, although I didn't notice until I finished & I saw that my shirt sleeve was covered in blood!
I told her it was her fault as I was so shocked & upset, which wasn't true but I did try to milk it. Didn't work though as she knew I was competing with a hangover.
The same friend & I did the same thing to a friend & changed his surname to condom at a team chase, he didn't see the funny side!
The antlers story is very funny!
This is not so much about what somebody was wearing but more about what they said.
A know all aquaintence was standing next to me at a dressage competiton bragging about her new horse and saying that she felt it was too good to compete fairly against all us numpties, so she was going to enter the class, quote " haute couture" instead of saying hor concours!!!

Bless my friend, yesterday at her first hunter trial she was so nervous, and concentrating so hard on trying to remember her course in advance, that she jumped on and tootled half way across the warm up without a hat... of course I was waving extatically pointing at my head, whilst she waved back shouting "hiyaaa" still totally oblivious to the fact... It amused me xx
Also, I took a male friend with me showjumping once ...completley un horsey, all was good untill he spotted a horse in a fly veil "OMG is that horse muslim" "no ...SHHHHHH" "well why is it wearing a thing to cover its face"
embarrasing enough, even worse when I turned round and saw the owners (totally unamused) stood right behind us videoing the round
definatley a "please let the ground swallow me up" moment xx
Totally non horsey but a friend who is a cricket wife got so fed up with it being taken so seriously that she packed hubby's bag but refrained to tell him she had cut all his whites off at the knees and waited for the fallout in the dressing room!
The other team members thought it hilarious to see his face as all he pulled out of the bag were shreds; that was years ago but it's still talked about today! She had taken a good pair for him btw, just wanted to bring him down a peg or two, which she did big style! Bit like the Malteaser advert!
Clip a heart or play boy bunny into your horse's bum! Total animal abuse but if you're planning on clipping it out soon you could have it for a week or so just for a laugh. I'd diss-own you at a show for doing that!
Friend was embarrased when I used to ride Dizz in a dressage saddle, forward cut jumping numnah, five-point breastplate and Tri Zone Cross Country boots all round.
This is bad. I went with a total novice to look at a horse on a racing yard.
In the car she asked me not to tell the seller what a numpt...I mean novice she is, as she thought the seller might refuse to sell to her the horse.
We met the owner, and on the way to the field to see the horse we chatted. Novice says "Do these horses do like national horseracing?" Owner looked alarmed and said " Err some of them race" Novice continues with " Do all the others do the badminton then?"
At this point I caught the owners eye and we just utterly peed ourselves laughing.
And to think I was instructed to keep my mouth shut!
I was at some sj with a friend and her non horsey husband. A horse jumped round and knocked every single fence down, to which my friends husband shouted STRIKE!!!!!!!!!!!! really loudly, to very dirty looks from the competitor and her supportrs who were stood next to her. He then couldn't understand why that rider didn't win, he didn't understand you wern't supposed to knock the poles down!
