Most funny/ironic/downright rude comment...

I was told my horse wasnt good enough to be shown in a Hack class Maybe we aint HOYS Standard, but the judge told me to leave the ring .

A girl i knew in Devon was told " get your mom to buy you a decent horse" by a judge

When I asked a new livery if she wanted to go out hacking, she looked at Brandy in astonishment and said, "You actually ride her?" Cue a loooong, uncomfortable silence. Then, out on the hack after plenty of trot-work (and bless her, I think she was trying to make amends too): "Gosh, she's actually a lot fitter than she looks, isn't she?"
 
I went on a show jumping clinic and when the instructer asked what breeding my boy is I said Highland/TB she raised her eyes to heaven. I'd never done anything like that before and after a shakey start my boy did some beautiful jumps over big fences, 3'3"
with me being no help whatsover. At the end of the class she said, "He's got a jump in him", praise indeed. I haven't jumped since, well only diddley little logs etc.

I also did the Badminton ride. As we went through the water jump the guy seeing us through asked when was the foal due! OK my boy had a grass belly, but was obviously a gelding!!!
 
I used to work for this horrible women who showed her welsh pony inhand and came first every time..... i started showing Billy my welsh section A at the same show as her and started winning.
One day at work there was a group of 4 of us talking about showing etc when she suddenly said im not happy with ******** show anymore and will not be going again, how they can place all those scabby ponies above my mare i will never know!!!

My jaw hit the floor as the only scabby pony that was above her was my "scabby" pony!!!!!!!!!
Needless to say i didn't work there for much longer.

Last year after a long gallop up foredown on Bodmin Moor, some chavvy boy racer type people were gathered in the parking area (only 2 cars but several lads and 2 girls). It's an AONB but they gather up there and have chav-burgers on their chav-bbqs and then race down the straight road. When I got to the top and got into walk, I could sense that they were looking/talking about me (I am hyper-sensitive and most of the time I am not right), so I looked over and they WERE! I carried on riding, with my husband next to me riding our mare, and one of the lads shouted really loud 'you fat b*tch, it's you that needs the f*****g exercise, not the horse. You should be reported for animal cruelty'. I was absolutely horrified, not least because there was a couple with some children flying a kite on the moor and they heard/saw everything.

As the two cars sped off, they were all hanging out their window, beeping their horns and shouting obsenities at me. I stopped and burst into tears and this little family came to see if my husband and I were OK, which made me feel even more embarrassed!! As soon as they were out of site and the racers had gone, I got off my horse and led him all the way home rather than riding him, as I was so ashamed. It was about 3 miles home from there. I have never felt so sick with embarrassment in all my life. I think I cried all afternoon.

The owner of the yard where we take the horses on holiday, and who has become a great friend, came to see me and gave me a kick up the ass. She is extremely experienced and said that she knew this was playing on my fear that I had got too big for George since being ill (I had pneumonia and was in intensive care, which then led to mental illness and I gained weight), but there is no way I am too big for him, based on his build and the way he carries me as well as the way I ride.

It really shook my confidence. Just a bunch of louts who know nothing about riding and the fact that it actually IS exercise.

Makes me cry just thinking about it.

That is atrotious! No-one deserves that hun, don't be down lets all hope they crashed their chav mobiles shortly after!!
 
Some bloke once assumed that the carriage horses had to be old and ill to work for us. I promtly told him we were driving a 6yr old, albeit with an 18year old ans we buy they young becasue it is acctually a very demanding job.

Oh an not horses but stuid enough. We went through a field full of jacob sheep (black and white splodges and horns) and someone on the carriage promptly told his child they were cows. I then politly said they were a rare breed of sheep and he went mental at me! I mean for gods sake, i'm used to people saying they're goats, when they are shawn i accept they do look like them but cows!?
