Yes Sh*tbag (aka Mackenzie) pressed the big red ejection button last night and skyrocketed me into the sunny blue evening skies of East Yorkshire. :D

Reason for this outrageous behaviour? first time he’d clocked eyes on the new arrival (YO’s mare gave birth to lovely coloured colt foal the other week) and they happened to be out in the field next to the school.

I should of known this would have been far too exciting for Mr Mackenzie’s thick little head to take in. :rolleyes:

Soon as I led him into the school he turned into stallion mode (god knows what he was thinking) but I struggled even leading him around the school so I thought it wasn’t a good time to get on, so carried on leading him around till he calmed a little, then jumped on, lasted about 10 seconds and got off before he threw me as I decided to sensible (for once) and lunge him first so he could jump/leap/buck…bust what ever super star shapes he liked without me being on his back.

Anyway it worked, he calmed down a little and the mare the foal wandered off to the far side of the field, so it was safe for me to get on, started to get some concentration back from him and out came the YO and wife

''hope you’ve got your velcro jods on cos your going need them, where bringing Misty and the foal in’’

But I stupidly thought no no I carry on, he’s got to learn to behave and he might be ok now anyway.

How wrong was I :rolleyes:

Soon as the mare and foal got to the gate, you could literally feel the blood rush round his body, he grew about 5 hands, eyes on stalks, huffing, puffing and squealing, they got out of the gate and round the corner out of view, he gave me a few warning bucks (basically he does warn you and gives you a small window of opportunity to remove yourself before he means business) but I thought nope and asked him to go forward, he did a few mini rears (to build momentum up of course) and delivered an almighty buck (knew there was no chance I was sitting that one out!) and so deposited me on the school floor.

While gracefully sailing through the air like a sack of bricks, all sorts of things went through my mind in that split second (its like slow motion)

Don’t stand on my hands!
Don’t kick out as I land!
Don’t let go of the reins…actually do let go of the reins so the above doesn’t happen!
Are both my feet out of the stirrups?
Is this going to hurt?
Don’t get tangled up in your reins! (that’s the horse)
Don’t escape out of the school!
Thank god I’ve got my BP on!
I really should of replaced my hat from last time I came off!

*BUMP*

Thankfully those wood chippings are amazing little things and cushion your fall, so I sprang to my feet and managed to catch him before he got out of the school and back on where I proceeded to warn him that if he dare do it again I’d be calling Websters to come and pick him up and he’d been in a can of Winerlot quicker than he could draw his next breath! :D

So he's chirstened me in the school now as well as out on hacks.

Naughty ponio.

Any takers? :D

No its ok, I laughed about it when jumped to my feet and realised I'd not hurt myself, then I just wished someone had caught it on video though, then you would of been laughing, would of been a great £250 pounder put it that way.:D
 
I'm sorry Kenzo, that was written so beautifully I had no trouble at all picturing the scene and that has given me a laugh.. so for that I apologise. I know what you mean about the slo mo falls, been there, done tha, have several tee-shirts !!

You sound a FAR braver gal than I, I think I'd have had to lunge Miss B to her knees before I could get on ! Sounds like you are thankfully ok, good thing you were in your BP :D

What a naughty ponio Mr Mackenzie is, sounds like he has a wicked sense of humour !!! ;)
 
Pitty there was no one round to record it then as the £250 would have bought you that new hat or most of an inflatable jacket

Well as the saying goes, 'there is only room for two emotions in the saddle, one is patience the other is GSOH'.

No truer words could be spoken, trust me you need it with this horse :D
 
weeeeeeeeeee, gosh that was descriptive!!! especially the "thoughts as I am falling off bit'. What a cheeky b£gger he is! Glad you are OK and yes it gave me a good laugh I'm afraid!
I don't think you should repeat the experience just to get 1/4 of a jacket!!!!
 
Yes so for those of you with dogs and feed canned food, if you happen to find any long sliver hairs poking out of the meat, it's the new flavour..

''Our classic combination of meaty chunks in a delicious jelly comes in a wide range of varieties to suit every appetite. Nutritionally balanced and enriched with vitamins, they not only taste great but provide complete nourishment for adult dogs as well and have now introduced a new flavour called Meaty Duo's with Mackenzie in jelly!''

:D
 
Lol, you did make me laugh there!

Hope you don't have any bumps or bruises, and hope Mr M sorts himself out soon! Then again, those foals are freaky little things :D

What a naughty boy. Glad you were brave and got back on though, hopefully he will have learnt his lesson now!
 
post was written so brilliantly i couldnt help smiling. :P glad both you and horse are ok though :)

reminds me of when i took Catchie out on a hack the other week and there was a 2 day old foal with his mum in one of the fields. Catchie - being the wuss that he is stopped dead, spun round and decided to leg it in the other direction! God knows how i stayed on :L

I've decided I'm going to torture him him with the nasty icre cream van man and get Mr Twinkle Sprinkle to chase him around the field while blasting out some god awful nursery rymes :D

hmmm well only thing now is, the mare and foal are going to be in this field all summer, I just hope he calms his passions and get used to it before he breaks every bone in my body! :D
 
Totally hilariously put! Although not funny, if you know what I mean. Exactly the same thing happened to me 2 1/2 wks ago & I'm still off work! I got dumped in the corner & landed on my back on the piled up jump wings! Foolishly, I wasn't wearing my bp! I've had my boy nearly 2 yrs and this is the first time he's done this. I got back on there & then before going to hospital, otherwise he'd have been joining Mackenzie at Winalot, cos I'd never have got back on again. I still haven't, but at least I want to now. (I think!) Hope you're fully recovered now. Hopefully, I'm nearly fixed!
