What’s the funniest thing you have witnessed that was so wrong!

I have never laughed so much in all my life .... how do you put a saddle and bridle on backwards .... and how do you 'repair' an upsidedown clip

Friend rugging up his horse and confused as to why the horse refused to move. He'd done the surcingle up over the fence rail, so the horse was stuck!!!

We all P'O'SL!!!!
 
Something I always remember which had me and a friend in absolute hysterics (I mean, cant breathe laughter!) - we were cantering out on a hack when a bull nearby got spooked by us and galloped up beside us and then JUMPED a wooden 5 bar gate (taking the top rail down with it). I dont know why it was so hilarious, I guess the scene of a massive fat assed thing heave itself over a gate. I didnt even know cows could jump!
 
My ex managed to bring someone else's horse into my stable once - he was trying, and the horse he brought in was nearly the same colour as mine... it did look very confused at being in a different stable though!
My youngster also made me lmao when I put a traffic cone in his field as a toy. He nudged it with his nose harder and harder until the classic self-righting thing happened - it came back and bopped him on the nose!!
 
OMG what about when we did fancy dress dressage to music, with two 3yr old section A ponies, long reining them.

We dressed up as Woody and Buzz Lightyear and has the music from Toy Story, I must have the photo's somewhere, and there's a video of it knocking around too

I was asked to teach a couple of local children. They had their own yard and ponies and the dad was non-horsey but very keen and desperate to get it right.

At the start of the lesson I pointed out that one pony's bit was too low in his mouth and asked if they had a hole puncher. I then moved on to check the second pony.

Meanwhile dad trundled off, came back, grabbed first pony, and with his black and decker hand-held drill, proceeded to drill a hole in the headpiece whilst pony was still wearing the bridle! It was a nervous welsh type, and it was so surprised it just stood there rooted to the spot. For once my riding instructor's voice failed me and I just stood there, speechless!
 
I only learnt to ride when most sane women are thinking about taking up knitting. Hadn't been riding long when I went on a hack with the riding school across common land where sheep and cattle roamed. I was mega nervous and must have had a really tight hold on the poor horse's reins. We reached a bit where the ground dropped steeply to a little stream and then climbed up the other side. Well, everyone else's horse picked their way carefully down the steep side and carefully negotiated the stream. My horse, so grateful that I had to slacken the reins for him to put his head down to see what he was doing, seized the opportunity and shot down the slope in a brisk canter, LEAPED the stream and charged up the other side. To my undying shame, I screamed all the way and then fell off. The rest of the ride helped me back on but they all avoided speaking to me for the rest of the hack. When we finally got back to the yard, someone told me that I had a huge cowpat balanced on the top of my riding hat but no-one liked to tell me as I was so upset! NB - I never scream any more.

My embarrassing/funny for other people moments were;

Once when I was crossing a field & my dad had told me the electric fencing was off, I picked fence up, received a msssive shock of electric & squealed. Horses looked at me as if to say "Ha! Sweet justice!"

Another was when I'd gone to catch our Sh*tland to groom, it was about 6am one summers morning, utterly beautiful morning so I thought rather than lay in bed, I'd get up, groom said pony & go for a nice early morning hack. Little b*****d. Went to get him & told him to walk on, he stood rooted to the bloomin' spot. He would not move & I stood there for 40 minutes trying to get this muppet of a pony to move his arse. I tried bribery, I tried coaxing, I tried looping the leadrope through the headcollar noseband so it turned into a controller type headcollar, tried the whack on the shoulder with the leadrope. Little sod would not move a bloomin' muscle! Just stood there looking at me. In the end I left him there, went & got a schooling whip & gave him a crack on the backside, couldn't give in because I knew very well he'd take the mick forever more.

Second episode involved the same pony. Went to catch him, stood outside field gate talking to friend quickly before she caught hers & the little so & so decided to take off at a trot down hill into the yard..... Ended up like one of those Thelwell cartoons where the helpless owner is left at the end of the leadrope vainly trying to keep up with this pony that's like a tank. Cue my legs flailing all over the place with about an inch of the leadrope to spare

& just remembered, third incident was when we had the farrier round, I had hold of my mare while sister had hold of mini Shetland (different to the above) usually the Shettie stood like a rock but for some reason was full of it this one day, he reared up like in a playful way, whinnied & spooked my mare who walked forward onto my foot & had her nose right in front of me, she wouldn't move backwards or to the side & so my only option was to tumble backwards, landed on my bum, her hoof just at that moment came off my foot & I lost all balance & did a very graceful "arse onto back" fall. S looking at me as if to say "what on earth are you doing down there like that? Silly woman!"

Farrier, fit apprentices & sister all in fits of laughter & me with a very bruised pride
