Was out riding with 2 friends. My mare stopped and had a BIG wee in a gateway just slightly uphill from where a lady was doing her gardening. 2nd and 3rd mares then both pulled into the same gateway and also did massive wees - this torrent of urine (3 very full bladders - buckets full!) then made its way straight down like a river into this poor unsuspecting woman's flower bed full of lovely plants, it was mortifying!

Took my mare, the chalk drawn one on another thread, on a motorway once a long time ago. Pulled in to the lorry park area and mare
wee’d not only for England but for the Universe.
The wee flowed out from the rear ramp downhill sideways across the tarmac between all the parked lorries and the paypoint.
We used the facilities provided for us and left at warp speed.
( not really, but we didn’t hang about )

Another horse did his first ever dressage test. He half jumped, half ran out the wing of the judges car at the end of the first centre line, and took me back to the warm up which was hundreds of yards away through a huge stable yard, with everyone gawping at us.

I rode my childhood pony home when I was a kid. Lots of neighbours came out to see us and it was all rather lovely. I got off in the front garden to let pony have a munch.
We had a big maple tree in our front garden. Pony was renowned for walking off when you mounted but I was pretty spritely as a young’un...
Unfortunately, pony decided she was going to walk right under the tree as I got on. I vaguely remember seeing branches, mixed with some blue sky... and then I grabbed hold of something and me and the something ended up in a heap on the floor.
I found myself lying under the maple tree, clutching my purple fluffy seat saver (it was the 90s.. I was a kid)
I gave my neighbours a laugh... and anyone in the surrounding three streets probably heard the roars of laughter from my Dad...

My husbands TB mare (now sadly departed) and my old horse used to be kept on a livery yard which was situated next to a golf course. Many footpaths ran over the course and we were allowed to ride on them.
It was lovely until the day the TB bucked my husband off and proceeded to gallop down the fairway then do a spanking trot around the actual greens. We were mortified. The golfers were mortified. We couldn't catch her, she really ploughed one green.
Of course we did the decent thing and went to see the owner of the course - he was very understanding and said the green keepers would sort it out. We bought him a whiskey in the clubhouse bar.

sent my (non horsey) husband to check on my mare. "Just look her over and if you see anything strange call me" I said as he left.

an hour later (where's he got to I thought?) he rushes though the door. "I thought she was dead! She was lying down and I couldn't see her breathing" so what did my non horsey husband do? Walked right up to her, leaned right over her to see if she was indeed dead and was very surprised (as was she tbf) when she woke up got the fright of her life (whose this idiot standing over me!) whereupon she got up super quick flight mode style and practically ran over the top of him.

Of course I found it hilariously funny ???
