Put foot in stirrup to mount small fat pony, had not done girth up. Offside stirrup flew over and cracked me just above my eye. Fabulous black eye and cancellation of work's 'photos for website' session because there was no way that was going to be hidden under make-up.
Being distracted getting horses in and letting the entire herd of 40 out at 7am. I had to get the YO out of bed to help and it was a loooong time until he let me forget that one.
We used to have a tie up line with scaffold poles down it. I've rugged a horse to those scaffold poles more times than I can count.
Lining all the feed buckets with breakfast neatly outside the pony barn one evening ready for the next morning. Forgot that an Ardennes had longer reach than small welsh ponies, forgot that he was in pony barn out of the rain. I don't know what time he ate 10 breakfasts but he was very miffed when he only got a small portion the next day.
There will be more...............
