I cant read that a&e post below becasue if I read it I feel like I am tempting fate. Random I know - but what are your funny horsey superstitions and quirks? Or am I mad?

Also my OH, when ever he comes to watch my compete or have lessons, everythign goes well or we win something, when he's not here, we are pants :D

Daughter doesnt like her dad to go and watch her.....when he comes, she doesnt do as well. Apparantly he's a jinx:o
 
I never post on forums that I'm going to be doing this and that blah blah anymore because it all goes bumps up :o In fact just making plans seems to jinx me these day! :rolleyes:
 
My saddle still has the tag on it from when it went to saddlers to be repaired. I will never take it off, convinced I will fall off if I do!
 
I have lucky socks, lucky hunting shirt and lucky stock. I am completely paranoid about wearing new clothes when I ride and always put everything on the floor and stand on it first (theory being it has been on the floor once already!). I will also take anything new like a jacket or jods for a ride on my old horse first just in case!!! R2R - we are indeed all barking mad!
 
No video cameras to be pointed at me ever - they guarantee me falling on my head (as is evident in EVERY video my parents have of me :o). Also any new clobber (hat/jods/jacket etc) has to be grubbied up otherwise I will fall off at first wear.... me... paranoid... never :D
(I blame the evil ponies I used to ride)
 
I too have lucky socks - I now have 3 pairs though! Thankfully they are not knickers :cool:

I am ashamed to admit that at one stage I did have lucky knickers but my mother pointed out (once they were falling apart) that a hospital visit in them would put the doctors off! My first lucky hunting shirt literally disintegrated in the wash, I was heart broken!

My pony's rug still has a tag on it where she stayed at the vets for a few days. Ive never taken it off in case that will curse her and she will get ill again!.
