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

This is us the other week. Not strictly jumping, but it happened in the jump off. We both got overexcited. Those two people really were sitting in the wrong place at the wrong time :o

and deciding she didnt want to jump this one :P


She also decided last year when we attempted a Discovery class, that it is okay to run straight through a 5 bar poles spread, resulted in a nice concussion for me and still getting my confidence back to compete that high again!

I can't believe I've missed this amazing thread! Here's a good one from me:

Maggie-1.jpg


Maggie (who has jumped 1.30m classes and should really know better) took a distinct dislike to this tiny pink fence. After she'd got rid of me, she proceeded to canter around the arena showing off and refusing to be caught.
 
I really wasn't expecting him to jump this... So I just sat up and pretended it didn't exist ;) Not nearly as impressive as all the eventing photos, but I think if we tried to jump round courses like that, we'd be dead by now!

ets I've just noticed how unflattering my jumper is - it's unzipped and blowing about, hence looking heavily pregnant. Which I'm NOT! (note to self, not a good look!)

For some old school comedy... this was me around 17 years ago (my god that makes me feel old). My jumping has improved in the years inbetween :D

KICK!!!

Vader taking a stride out and pinging over.... I got warned about this but this was about the 3rd time I'd jumped him without experiencing it, got a bit too relaxed! The dressage saddle really didn't help xD

:o There was a bit of a drop on the other side of this, and I didn't know how Dan would react or how it would ride, so we were both a bit cautious! Felt much better the 2nd time around! :p :o

The first time I rode Ballet XC - 5 years ago. She took off about 2 strides out - Honest! My face is hilarious... :o

This thread is brilliant, I've just wasted an excellent half hour giggling.

Special mentions however to Chels - your horse's face, bless his heart.

Also Mike - literally howled with laughter

and Kat with the black pony, that water video, who shouts 'you bloody heathen' at the end :p Really tickled me.

No pics sadly, but every time I jump it's a blooper lol.

arena party kindly retrieved my stirrup leathers (on floor under his feet in second pic) and returned them to me at end of round :o

As a dressage diva, my jumping bloopers are very rare just because we don't do it!

My dressage trainer often complains about my Cobs high knee action...

I know its a bloopers thread but it is a rubbish picture (so I hope it counts...sort of!) it still amazes me that my dressage cob and I could jump like this
