Spin off: What's your most embarrasing showing moment?

[sidesaddlegirl]

Spin off from the worst judges comment thread!

My most embarrassing moment at a show was last month was in our first ever side saddle equitation class. The judge said that our turn out was good but that I needed to tidy up my numnahs and that I needed a smaller shirt as the collar on mine was too big for me. I told her that I had problems finding shirts that fit my bust but were not too big everywhere else! She was just about to give me some brand suggestions to try when at that point my friend who was standing at the ringside with all the spectators, say in a loud voice.."Yeah, she's got big f*cking t*ts!"

The judge was very well spoken and I think she pretended not to hear (never did get those brand suggestions!) and we got 1st anyways

LOL, with friends like that, who needs enemies!

Last weekend I had been going on about how good Genie was in the show ring etc... took her into the ring, and trendybraincell caught this sequence of photos in our individual show....

She got called a Witch quite loudly! (I promise I did say witch, not something that rhymes with it!)

Mine was in the ridden veterans class at a reasonable sized local show. My pony at the time would have been approx 29 years old, so one of the oldest in a good sized class of 20 ponies. Apparently she didn't feel it though. During the go-round, she was fine in walk and trot, but once in canter, she put her head between her knees and proceeded to bronc like a rodeo pony - saddle slid forwards up her neck and left me sitting on nothing! I had to ask the judge for permission to stop and resaddle my pony!

The only saving grace (for me, hehe!) was that her little episode apparently sparked off all 19 other oldies, who proceeded to stampede around the ring en mass, thus distracting from my technical hitch! They were all so badly behaved that none of us got asked to leave the ring as there wouldn't have been any horses left!

I have to say, as embarrassing as it was, I found the idea of 20 oldies feeling so good about life really funny. Even the judge laughed!

M and M working hunter, horse landed 2 feet on one side of the fence and 2 on the other. I ended up sat on the floor, with the pony eating grass next to me. The judge ran over saying ' don't let him panic don't let him panic'...(panic? He was stuffing his face) and then the judge and the steward dismantled the fence from under the horse and then spent about 10 minutes discussing how many penalties the horse acheived (As if I was going to care at that point... all I wanted to do was get out of the ring.
