This was last year. She'd run out of a corner as they'd put a bucket of flowers on top and on the second attempt she went over it but twisted in the air. I had an air jacket on so was determined not to have fall as I didn't want to scare her (really didn't want to pay £17 for a new cannister
)
I managed to undo the jacket but couldn't reach the lanyard to unclip it. The fence judges were calling 'hold on' and the photographer was clicking away with me calling out 'can someone help me back on' Eventually the photographer flipped me back up. I got a round of applause from everyone
I was hanging on like a limpet for the best part of a minute 
Her owner was on the top of the hill watching (MKEC) and she said people was saying hold on and she just replied that I wouldn't fall off as I was to tight to buy a new cannister - she was right !
As for the horse - god bless her, 5 yrs old and stood like a rock the whole time

Bee was not convinced by the safety of jumping planks with glittery pink pigs on them...
The pole touched her foot, and she was not impressed...
She just is a bit bouncy actually

It's my little sister- I'm crap on a horse And it's years of ponies just like Bee, lol! We only ever had loan ponies, and generally what's free is free for a reason... Al had many very naughty ponies so Bee's antics are nothing in comparison
There'll be many more like that soon- Bee's been on holiday, and will be back in work after Christmas... Expecting the first ride to be a fairly epic series of bucks and leaps!

How's this?
Not exactly our finest moment this year. I have NO idea what happened, since I got a good stride to this, but for some reason darling Daisy (so shocked by the pinkness of the jump?!?!) just totally forgot one front leg as she took off. Amazing that she didn't pull any muscles in her chest etc, I can't believe a horse can slide across the fence on top of one leg (lots of pink paint as evidence of that!) without pulling anything. She landed upright, but unsurprisingly, I came off... all photos captured by pro tog in a fantastic sequence.
This one taken by dafthoss, thanks!

I was fine, landed on shoulders/back and honestly didn't even feel myself hit the deck, those Kans are seriously brilliant bits of kit. She was fine, albeit she totally lost her bottle for a little while... (v luckily the Organiser let me go and pop over little things immediately - I was almost last of the day xc - so, bottle was swiftly reinstated) but hopefully the enormity of her error and her subsequent shock will mean she'll never do it again!

Yup, I had a project pony for a while that rotated on me out hunting. After I recovered, took him xc schooling and man he gave those jumps some air.... He won't do that again!.... Now where are those pics.....

Great to bring such a fab thread up, but unfortunately someone who is clearly in a bah humbug mood has been trawling posts and notifying TFC if anyone has a copyright on their photos. Even if you have permission from the photographer you will still get an infarction.

I've been reading this thread since it started, but didn't have anything to contribute I think nearly fifteen years passed without me jumping. And then I had a reintroduction, sidesaddle. On a saint of a horse. It's my face that makes for the blooper.
Happy Christmas!
Happy Christmas!

Right now I have worked out how to add images correctly.
XC fall caused by
A) My inexperience and general bad riding/ thinking I knew what he'd do & lack of stickability on my part
B) Horses desire to jump the smaller corner the other side of the board
I can confirm the going was firm, very firm...
Unfortunately this was the day I had to stop saying "He hasn't refused a fence in 10 years, he'll go off any stride and sometimes jumps from a standstill but he ALWAYS jumps......"

this was during the summer. my (then) yard held an ODE and this was the biggest class they held (tiny, i know). my horse obviously thought that they where too small and too tiny ( yes, we are dressed up
).

I REALLY hope you mean infraction
An "infarction" is when tissue dies due to a blockage in the blood supply to it - like a myocardial infaction referring to a heart attack

Wow this is a fab thread! Literally just gone through every page. Some crackers, and to add a few of my own....
I think this sequence is also earlier in the thread, but it never gets boring. This was one of the first times Major jumped (ex flat horse), proving really genuine......
Thankfully he decided not to give me a boot as he left.
And over the years since then...
Well this one is embarrassing! Not our finest moment.
phew face on both our parts....
What a talented combination we are

If the first few pics were ones of your horse jumping only after a few times then I'm not surprised what happened! Far too much too soon!
