Some awesome pictures on this thread, and some painful looking anes too. I don't have any too amazing, but I will share.
Jerry invented his own jump in the river Trent a couple of seasons ago, resulting in this:

Daisy leaving me behind at home a few years ago:

Oshk twisting over a skinny, he used to twist whenever he got too close, and more often than not it would have me out the side door, luckily I stayed on at this:

My fault for trying to put him on a stride at Hickstead:

Ah, I understand how to post now. Sorry for the redundant post:

We survived this with a clear round and went into the jumpoff. Ran into some kids looking at the photographers' shots in his tent and they were commenting on this. Not very nicely... I didn't own up to it being me, either.

"Where'd she go?" I was in the middle of the oxer. Lake Placid Horse Show 1995 or so.

This is what happens when you get an absolute misser of a stride to a 1.45m spread and your lovely gorgeous horse still jumps the impossible for you! :) only took the bottom two poles out *scratches head* did stay on despite flying higher still, poor moo! lots of cuddles and love on the other side!

A few from Burghley, just to prove the pros get it wrong too ;)

This horse was brilliant!

Totally just stumbled onto this thread by accident. It's been a fun read!!! Time to revive it :D:D:D


I didn't give her enough leg on the way to the tire jump, and she caught a leg on one of the tires, causing it to roll after us ><. Almost wiped out, but she's amazing and recovered just fine!

Took the jump a little close, got launched, especially on the way down!

crikey at the last one, looks as if they did make it.
here's one from today. the grid was a perfect 2-stride distance, jumped it really nicely a few times yesterday. today came in at a nice steady trot and she did this:
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?....452053012480.239869.697032480&type=1&theater

we nosedived through it but she stayed on her feet somehow.
she decided she wasn't Batman after that and concentrated a lot more!
 
I pull some classic faces (all pics have either been taken by 2 friends, one of whom is a photographer so okay to use)

oops thanks for posting the pic people, i thought i'd got fb set correctly. yes, heaven knows what she was thinking, since she popped the first part beautifully from a nice quiet trot, took 1 normal canter stride and then launched like a lunatic.
that's my hacking-out silk, nice and bright, too loud for me for xc though!
