'Fall Off Friday'
Is what we everyone calls the Friday night jumping down at our local CC and guess what, it was 'Fall of Friday' for Kenzo!
Oh dear if only, if only we'd got it on video, you guys would of been in for a feast of pleasure and delight!
Mrs M, I'd of done you proud!
In we came, had a canter round before the bell, cantering up to the first and PY decided to duck out
, came round again and he tried to refuse, I dug my heals in and made him jump from a stand still (so wasn't going to get another refusal
) and we leapt over of it, I went ar*se over t*t and ended up on his neck (that TG gp was not build for stunt jumping!), anyway arms and legs wrapped around his neck (think koala bear clutching at a tree!
) holding on for dear life, as you do.
Py thankfully kept going so his head and neck kept up, everyone is holding their breath thinking she's a gonna
, lady of the tannoy wetting her self, but no Kenzo was not going to fall off like that, (that wouldn't of been dramatic enough...way too pathetic to fall off like that) so ...god only knows how, I managed cling on, get back round over the top of his neck (I was practically kissing his poll!
) and shuffle my bottom back down his neck and back into the saddle, just as this happened I spotted jump no.2 in the corner of my eye which was right at the side of us (literally at our shoulder), I shouted rather comically.....
''I'M ON ...I'M ON AND I'M GOING FOR IT! ''
still gathering my reins, no stirrups , whipped him to the left (I was determined to carry on after that amazing recovery) friends looking on thinking dear god she's nuts
, Py launched himself over it, again another frog leap but this time it was a frog leap too far
one I couldn't never of sat to, I got rocket launched into the air
...but this time didn't land on his neck, I went splat and sampled the new surface they have had put down.
I shouted while I laid there (in a rather defeated tone might I add).....
''AND I'M OFF! ''
Jumped up, spat the the bits of rubber out of my gob, shook the sand out of my knickers
, checked all my limbs were in place, re-adjusted my hat and took a bow
then went to find my oss!
Lady on the tannoy commend on my ungrateful dismount
after she'd no doubt finished p*ssing herself ,all rather embarrassing but never the less, extremely funny!
Not sure why Py was a not in the mood that evening, perhaps Friday night flood lit jumping is not for him, who knows but we had a laugh all the same.
Comedy aside, on a serious note although I didn't hurt myself anywhere else (its a long way to fall off Py) I did clout the back of my head and it really makes you appreciate how important wearing your riding hat is.
