Come on, fess up, none of us are perfeck:
What stupid things have you done while riding:
- ridden hatless, under the wrong impression that the sunglasses on your face is your riding hat, a big "whoops" when someone asks you "Where's your hat?" "On my head", touches head "OMG, it's sunglasses!"
- dropped the reins completely in walk AND taken the hat off in order to pull a longsleeve top off over your head, then hat back on and tie top round your waist.
- held onto a gate at all costs while opening it, despite horse moving away from gate
- dropped reins in walk to extract OS map from case as we'd reached edge of it, opened it to get it folded onto next page at which point person alongside me took off in canter, so did my horse, and the OS map is flattened across front of my face like a giant bed sheet so I can't see a thing and am riding blindly, galloping across stubble...my friend hysterically laughing "this is so funny.You should see yourself" but making no attempt to pull up. Well stubble has to be galloped, doesn't it!
