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

Oh dear I've got one, I was really nervous as this was about the biggest we'd jumped to date, did the rest of the course ok, but made a right pigs ear of this! :D

p.s. she does still have her back teeth present, I don't always get left behind.
 
I dont have any photos but do have this video. You could tell after the first fence she was going to be a bugger!





The worst thing was landing on my feet successfully.... only to step back and fall over the fence! I think you can see my frustration! :D

Hugely unnecessary overjump on the first fence - set the tone for the round!

My bad, saw a total misser - incredibly she managed to clear it anyway bless her!
 
Me and harry, he didn't quite jump big enough :p but i didn't fall off :)

Apparently you have to click the photo, didnt realise that!
 
hmm I have a few I can add ;)

a couple of old ones, from when I first got him 6 years ago ;) :o, these 2 were from the same round I think it's fair to say we weren't quite together yet...

first fence.. excellent start :rolleyes:

and a couple from more recently... this is what happens when you brave doing a BN and you discover you cut your line a bit tight in the jump off to the last fence. You leave everything to the pony and thank it profusley afterwards :D

amazingly I don't actually seem to have any of me falling off!
 
Some of these pics are fab! :D

Some from me -

Caspers first ever encounter with a brush fence (and our first ever XC attempt) - taking a good look at it!

And our first ever encounter with sharks teeth - at the first attempt he stopped then started trying to climb it but jumped it second time (check how high he's lifting thoes back feet in the second one!)

This was the mares first time XC, there were definitely crocodiles hiding under these fences! :)

Happily trotting up to a ditch thinking she might be a bit spooky but no, she trotted straight through :D

Was that NARC's XC at Eglinton Park? :)
 
My whole life is a jumping blooper!
Wally definitely chooses his moments!
He's been brilliant recently, has his saddle re flocked, has been popping 2ft9 courses with ease, no stopping, no falls. Went cross country schooling today, decided he wasn't going to jump the second jump of the day!
Please excuse my sisters swearing at the end! I do apologise!!
The rest of the day went without a hitch and it was completely my fault. He made the decision that if I wasn't committed, neither was he!

God that sounded painful - were you OK?
 
Bedlam I think my favourite thing about that sequence is the lady standing very calmly in the background with her arms folded, not batting an eyelid as child and pony take a tumble!! Good on her, lots of falling off makes you a good rider, it's what all the cool kids are doing these days :cool:
