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

[kerilli]

it took me ages to find the only ones i have.
this was an Advanced track yonks ago, came round corner, Dottie saw the water and just accelerated like a nutter down the hill and launched over fairly serious jump and drop. i had definitely seen another stride, she took off a proper stride and a bit away, you don't ever see me looking terrified and defensive!

the next fence was a skinny rope horse-shoe shaped thing just out of the water, luckily she saw it and locked on, as you can see i didn't have any of my knitting back yet! big relieved puff of cheeks there as i went ''whoooo thank you mare...''

she was a freakishly awesome mare but also VERY arrogant at times!

Then at jumpcross a few weeks ago we got attacked by a killer swan in the water- this is the moment Oso noticed it and bolted flat out, leaving me 10 miles behind!

LOL Kerilli you can see on her face that she SO knows what she is doing and you might as well sit a knit for all the input she is going to accept!

Looks like a wonderful mare.

haha exactly, "you just sort out your knitting or something mum, leave me alone, i've got this sorted!"
She did exactly the same to me at the second water at Bonn-Rodderberg 3*, just summed it up at a glance and took over, totally ignored me (i'd walked it very carefully and gotten a lot of advice and had a definite Plan, involving a lot more strides than she deigned to take!)
thanks, she was awesome. quirky and freaky but awesome, definitely. very lucky to have had one as good as her.

Cracking thread with some brilliant pics, made my day looking at these. I dont have any to share unfortunately although that doesnt mean to say i havnt had any bloopers! Ive had my fair share, they have just never been caught on camera. lol


Keep um coming

 

[SnowGoose]

love this thread dont really post on here, just browse occasionally but couldnt resist this one. This happened a few years ago - horses history - grade A showjumper, had been jumping 1.30+ previous year til accident which left us both a bit broken. With zero confidence left over big fences, I thought I would have a go at intro eventing (which to me suddenly looked quite big!) slightly misjudged his reaction to a 90cm fence though....

Love these pictures, your mare is completely oblivious to your "terrified" face, it is like she is saying "keep up mum"!!!

 

[WellyBaggins]

Sorry K, just re read my post and it sounds like I am saying you got left behind (which clearly you didn't), I just meant she looks pleased with herself about her choice of stride and is telling you to "keep up" with her decision

no worries, i'm not offended! i know it wasn't very stylish at all, but i didn't touch her mouth so that was okay!

Kerilli- you had the 'must have' Musto colours before they were cool. How fashion-forwards can you get...!

Oh yes, that's me, trendsetting since forever.
that's my uber-lucky xc jersey, it's a Next Boys one and is about 20 yrs old and still going strong, it's got a lot of luck worked into it, i like to think...

[indigosplat]

Hope this pictures work! let me know if they don't!

my friend having a bit of a meltdown over a fence.

My other friend Hollie, who probably could have fit another 2 strides in...

and finally a series. All credit go to G effect photography. The girl WAS told not to canter into the walk just trot as the water was deeper than usual....

[Horse_Mad!]

Have never posted photos before, so hope this works!!

I still managed to stay on and was one of the few to get over this second time!

Far too close but we made it over (also apparently I'm attempting to jump it before the horse.... Cringe...)

 

[indigosplat]

hhahaha.. oh look at his eyes when he's stopping at the red wall! they're out on stalks! bless

 

[Angelbones]

Brave child. Pony nose plant. Poor pony. Glad all was fine, but well photo captured.

Fab photos - but what I really love is the consistently folded arms of the lady in the background!

 

[tonkatoy]

not really a blooper, but i like to keep my thread alive
how to overjump in the 60cm class..i don't think spreads will ever be a problem...

 

[Javabb94]

I have decided to revive this thread with some pics of my fall today

jumps are tiny as it was java's first ever time jumping fillers so kept it small so could kick over if necessary!

 

[SophieandDougie]

 

[walker1234]

me and my 4yo having a disagreement about how many strides there were supposed to be! needless to say i fell off!

Our whoops from Sunday's PN at Bicton

 

[Kokopelli]

Actually mum I think that ditch looks a bit carnivorous. I'll leave you here to deal with whilst I go back to the trailer.

 

[MinxGTi]

Not me but my sister with her horse... who likes to give the first jump of course plenty of air :lol:

 

[MinxGTi]

And another! scares the hell out of me when I jump him... but my sister just seems to stick whatever he decides to do!
