Lighthearted!! Let's see your jumping bloopers!!!

Some really funny photos - are they on your walls at home? :D:);)

Lolo - that fence clearly was not pinned properly, have seen some quite nasty footage of similar incidents where jockeys have not been so lucky - was it a BE event?

Here is one out schooling, they did make it safely to the other side, ponio has a 5th leg and rider a sticky seat :D

Well my lad thinks he needs to go uber slow up to jumps then balloon himself over them, resulting in the following sequence most days

And other days he decides he doesnt think they're high enough so makes up his own heights that HE wants to jump :P

Your pony is gorgeous!

No- it's run at a venue where they run BE events but this was just an RC event... Our club is having words with the venue owners as this fence repeated it's trick with another, less fortunate, duo and another fence also flipped over when a pony chested it... :/

Bless him, his little ears are still pricked even though he's snorkelling sand. He managed to save me from the dirt and picked up both back up from here.

Thankyou!

Someone has just posted sequence of pictures on FB of her friend on a bay chesting a corner and the corner flipping over them? Have asked her where it is, wonder if they were at your event? Not good, appreciate it is a dangerous sport but even so there is no need for organisers to stack the odds against people.:confused:
 
It was at Burnham Market (somebody else had a near miss there with a skinny flipping over). The report was posted on here! Very scary!

Apparently the other incident I mentioned of a larger corner flipping was at Burnham Market, who ever built that course should be shot!:mad:
 
I've already commented on said picture. Couldn't believe it! Bit surprised also to see the fence judge comment and say 'These fences are supposed to give way, could have been a lot worse had it been solid'. I have zero knowledge but surely they should be fixed to the ground?!

That fence judge should read this (unbelievable comment :mad::confused:): -

The anchoring of all of these types of fences is of paramount importance. There is nothing more dangerous than half a ton of fence tipping over when hit by a horse. Severe injuries may be caused to both horse and rider if this should occur.

Anyone interested in knowing more can read the full piece in this link:-

I think their argument is that if the fence handt fallen there would have been a rortational...

EmmyC still winning it for me on the photo tho haha!!!

serious kudos to all of you that stayed on at some of those!!! impressive!!!!
 
did I stay or did I go? Story is took Fleur XC schooling several years ago now at Pontispool and she was being very well behaved so I got all brave and decided to jump this water complex not realising at the height it was set with skinny after (out of shot) it was actually at Novice height! Came into water she tripped and so I just let her sort herself out and never even asked her to jump log but she surprised me somewhat and jumped and this was the result (we did do it again afterwards properly ;) )

That was my sister on her horse. The corner did the same the week before with another girl whose horse just left a leg. It wasn't the BE course though- for that they must secure them properly!
 
The joys of teaching my little luso about jumping

Sadly there isn't a photo showing him landing hind feet first, but I've been told he just hopped over. I think he was telling me he'd rather be a high school horse than a jumping one.

Found this other picture of me jumping the wrong fence into a water complex with no contact with the saddle, I ended up going over horses head as he hit the water......was very cold and horrible.

Other one was where I was riding Trig into tiny X-pole at PC ODE warm up. He was to busy gorping about to notice there was a jump, stopped at it, I went slap bang on the poles, and the whole lot came crashing down on me - poles wings etc.

I've done that too! With my old horse at Ivesley years ago. He was in a right mood from the start and dressage was a bit wild but he got a good mark. Took him over to warm up SJ and he was a bit bright but OK. Took him into a tiny X pole and he stopped dead at the last second (very unlike him), I went over his head taking bridle with me but he buggered off and broke it into tiny pieces. Was totally mortified - picked up bits of leather and went home! Think he was trying to tell me something - never went back to that venue.
 
clairebearnz - Tally looks like fun! Even if he is an evil little pony at times!! I love your resigned but totally unphased attitude to falling off him :)

One comment (and feel free to ignore) I know he does ocassionally stop at the last second (watched the vids) but you should try and keep you weight a tad further forward/out of the saddle once you are in the air as it will make life more comfortable for him..

Some great photos on here!
