After having a conversation last night and kenzo admitting she is bored at work i thought i would post........

What is your most embarrassing horsey moment?
 
saying how much i adored our vet, how gorgeous he was and that didnt matter he was older i wouldnt mind... my YO was crying with laughter didnt think it was that funny and then the vet leant over my shoulder and said well i dont think your half bad but my wife might have something to say... i nearly died!
 
broke but happy - ohhhh that made me cringe!

Mine would have to be throwing up on said horse after being very hungover trying to jump!

I'm sorry but HAHAHAHAHAAAA! :D:D
 
Couple of kids, pony-mad children of a family friend, came up to see my fat loan pony. I reckoned since he was so quiet and a bit of a plod that if I rode first, and he behaved himself, I'd let them have a toddle around on the lead rein (they can ride, but just in case!).

Anyway, got on, he felt a bit funny.. for the first time in his entire life he was very full of beans, threw a couple of wee bucks, then as we were walking along the long side where the kids were watching, my usually sane, safe and dull as dishwater pony decided now was the perfect time to demonstrate his bronco skills, lucky me ended up in the muddy end of our very poorly drained school.. little *****!

Needless to say the kids did not get their free pony ride..! Oh, and he was back to normal the next day!
 
My first "grown up" showjumping competition years ago - horsey jumped the wings after a brief argument about whether to run out or not. I flew through the air, landed in an undignified heap on the ground and my (non-horsey) mum dashed into the arena shouting "Oh no! Oh no! Don't move! Get a doctor! You don't have to carry on" etc. I was mortified - after all, Harvey Smith's mum didn't dash into the arena whenever he fell off!
 
Actually I’m very busy Pebblemania, looking at your horsemart links that you keep sending me! lol

I can’t think what my most embarrassing horsey moment is, I’m sure there’s plenty and no doubt there will be one in a few weeks for you when I attempt to jump ''a whole 80cm’’ ;) dressed as witch, I’ll be flying over those fences


more chance of doing it on my broom me thinks!

Although my dad made once make me cringe that time when we were either at some jumping in fact I think you were there Pebblemania, a competitor was going round in the ring jumping on a cob and he said with his very loud voice where everyone was watching, ‘’well you’re wasting ya time Mrs with that, stick to pulling coal!’’

I really wanted the ground to swallow us all up!:o
 
i do remember that one indeed! Your dad is full of classics and it always brightens MY day when he comes (I also get some really nice pics taken too). My fav for your Dad (not really embarrasing) was the first time he met me and told me all about him forgetting you were in a dinghy in the sea and he nearly lost you!!!!

(more worryingly you were 26 at the time) lol

Anyway enough of boring these people with things they were not there with - you have much more embarrasing tales to tell!!!!:D
 
one more: I was teaching some kids to jump grid a few years back and was saying how if you set up your horse properly and stay balanced you cant mess them up. Took in an old schoolmaster got him nice and bouncy but 2 before he took off jumped the first then second in 2 big bounds lost my balance then he took a bounce all in one i went flying a child laughed so much they actually wet themselves(seriously!) and i couldnt even stand up because i was crying with laughter was very funny but pretty humiliating... got me off my high horse so to speak!!!
 
Taking my horse to a very posh veterinary practice for a full work up, young female vet was leaning over looking at his front leg when he reached over grabbed hold of her underwear which was just slightly poking out of the top her jeans and gave her the mother of all wedgies!

She dropped his foot and hobbled about sobbing (she was wearing a thong it must have hurt) whilst all I could do was to look at the ground and mutter sorry, really sorry, not helped by the fact that horse was now in full on head up Flehmen response.

I paid the bill as quickly as I could and never went back.
 
One day event, I had just finished the dressage, went to get off Benson and caught the front of my jods on the saddle and ripped them right down the front. Now, I am what you would call well covered, a bit of a larger lady, so the small tack stand there didnt have any jods in my size. So I had to do the jumping and xc with lots on show! I looked at the photos afterwards and really really really cringed!!!!!

ROFL!!!
 
Daughter used to have a small shettie.....and unusually for shetties never put a foot wrong- perfect kids pony.

Friend asked if she could borrow said shetty for her 3 year old niece to have a ride on......no problem, got pony tacked up- friend leading niece around manege....all lovely until pony decides to have a roll:eek:

Cue lots of scrabbling about and whisking off of child- parental horror all around......me there going.....'but honestly......she's never done THAT before!':o

Never before, never after........guess she didn't want to be 'borrowed';)

I feel your pain.

When I was going through my "western" phase I had a number of incidents with the saddle horn the worst being a ride out to the local children's park and the decision to stop for an ice cream, down I jumped catching my t-shirt and bra under wiring on the horn of the saddle as I went, t shirt ripped from top to bottom and there I was hanging from my under wiring from the horn of the saddle only way to get unhitched....yep you guessed it undo bra and get lifted up so I disengaged.

Now I am not exactly a poached egg type person more a "get your melons here" type so not a lot left to the imagination, I then had to ride home attempting to wrap my t-shirt round me so the traffic did not come to s standstill....lots of hooting on way back!

Oh and what made it worse was it was local and I kept running into flushed faced fathers and small children in the supermarket!
