And a sneaky doggy one, you did not specify whether they had to be horsey jumping bloopers :D

Seriously????
read the title of the thread-it says "lighthearted"....!!!! It's been a lovely thread to read-don't spoil it with comments like that please.
 
Just found this and may or may not have sat through 43 pages of hilarious pics....


So thought I should resurrect this zombie thread to give other people some giggles ;)
 
Brilliant - I know I've commented before, about two years ago - got a recent one from my 4yo doing her first "trotting" pole. I reeeeeeeeally thought she would just step over it because she was trotting gently, never changed her rhythm, never gave it a second glance and then Airborne! I just feel lucky I didn't just topple over backwards and somersault over her tail!

Please bear in mind these are from about 12 years ago....

Stridings a bit out, luckily he looked after me!

And my old loan horse who I learnt to ride on....not pretty! it was only a wee cross pole which she normally hardly bothered lifting her feet up for so took me by surprise!

A wee bit left behind

Thank fully my riding has improved somewhat in the years after!
 
sorry if these turn out as links or huge, I'm still yet to master the art of posting photos :/ The joys of having a best friend who loves horses and taking photos, all your biggest failures are captured step by step by step!

Some great pics on here! I'll share a couple of mine I have found in my photobucket. The best one I only have in print, which is a 6 pic sequence of me going A over T when my horse stopped at a trackhener many moons ago, and yes I ended up in the ditch!

Here is XC schooling in 2010, he didn't like the look of this one at first, stopped and then cat-leapt it!

Second is in the SJ at Mattingley same year, as it seems I am good at, I put him on a totally duff stride and he said, 'no thanks!' Love him :smile3:

I had the commentators worried that I'd injured my neck, these were taken from the side of the arena so from the box they couldn't see me trying to get out of my bridle and back up. There's a video of it too which is a fun watch, i'll link it in a second. This was the middle of September and the last time I jumped (fence 3, decided against doing my next class so went back to the yard and popped a few fences to get confidence back) I'm competing at Broome's on Saturday so I need everyone's fingers crosses that we don't have a repeat! I will try and get some jumping done tomorrow first though.

My parents house, where I grew up is a mile from Broomies and his yard was one of my playgrounds as a kid. I love it there. Hope you have a good day. x
 
It's about 5/10 mins away from my yard so it's really convenient. This will only be my 3rd time there for some reason but fly has spent half his life there with his old loaners so hopefully it will help his confidence a bit. Fence 2 was interesting he really didn't want to go forwards but with a good pony club kick jumped it anyway, that's why I was so surprised by the next one! x
 
Oo hadn't seen this thread before, kept me entertained during my lunch break!

Not nearly as bad as some of these...

We just about slithered over this one, he took off from about 2 strides in front of it! I don't know how many times I practiced that one to get the stride right, bless him! :)
 
Pony can stop suddenly....

And here he stopped, then decided to go. Very thankful he has clever pony legs here. We did get over it somehow and stayed upright and onboard. Thank you fixed fences.

He's good most of the time!

I fell off on the other side of this rather excessive and interesting jumping technique...

Some of the other pics in this thread are fantastic!

Team chasing bloopers! One of my sister taking off at least a mile before the jump (you can see me taking a turn in the background having galloped straight past initially) and one of me taking a dive. Enjoy!

This is fab, can't believe I've only just noticed this!! :) Love the little grey pony who looks like he's lying over the little xc fence... classic facial expression!
 
oh my gosh this is just the greatest thread!! I have spent the last 2 days of work reading every page and it has MADE my week!

I don't have anything really to share as ive done basically 1 week of jumping in my life!

but here is one of those videos, this little jump at home was the 3rd or 4th time ive done some jumping, he is a super star jumper and I dont have a clue, just felt brave that day for some crazy reason!! hence the little slide out of the end of the saddle & my mum laughing her head off!
