Arrived at serious business meeting after long early drive dressed in the flourescent pink stripey pj's I'd driven in, forgot to take my suit.
LOL! I'd do that!

Pony came in with hind leg lameness, vet could not find anything wrong. She kept peeing, I asked if she could have a UTI? Vet asked when she was last in season!!
I was a new student at a very smart dressage yard and was sent out to long rein one of the expensive horses. I had him on a circle and he bucked and smartly kicked the rope round his quarters straight out of my hand. The inside rope was through the surcingles ring so when he careered off and I pulled on the rope it pulled his head round to his side. He did slow down to a walk but kept turning round and round until he was trussed up like a Christmas turkey with the rope round all four legs more than once!. In order to release him I had to run around him several times. Fortunately he stood like a saint,not that he could have gone far anyway. I was glad everyone had gone for lunch and the horse was unscathed.
Gone for a long hack wearing a black silky thermal balaclava and no hat, forgot to put hat on top. Only realised when I saw a scuba diver reflected back at me in a car window miles from home. I had even stopped and chatted with someone I vaguely knew, and they'd not mentioned it. I had to ride about 3 miles home looking and feeling like a total idiot.
Put OR boots on a horse's hind feet once. Got a few yards away, something was niggling me......turned round, saw what I'd done and raced back to put it right before anyone noticed. Very embarrassing!
Fell off a horse which was standing still at the time:
Needed to post an envelope through someone's letter box, so put it in my pocket and hacked out, thinking to drop it in on the way.
Horsey stopped OK, did some superb lateral work, I leaned across to bung the envelope through the letter box - and overbalanced and came off!! They had a whole lot of potted plants and shrubs around their place, and I ended up right in the middle of it all with flower pots & earth scattered everywhere!
VERY embarrassing! And it bleddi hurt too!!
Won't that have been a sensible question? A lot of mares squirt pee frequently when they are in season. If yours doesn't I can see why it would seem very odd to ask.
