Has happened to people in the show ring or show jumping?

I was riding a horse that was a shire twin (twin died but Treacles growth was stunted he only made 15.2)

And I went into the ring, and the announcer said. 'Heres blardeblar riding Twinkle Toes' and some very stuck up women shouted 'Thats cant jump'

We one the class..

In the show ring for me it's Genie mobbing the steward for her clipboard.... I did warn her that she'd have it, and she still put it to Genie's nose to 'show her it wasn't edible'. Genie had other ideas!

Someone I know has a great photo of a bloke at the yard I'm at on his horse in the show ring while his horse 'relieves himself', and I'm not talking poo...
 
Not quite IN the show ring.....
Sons 11hander was causing a fuss so I got on to try and walk him round to calm him.
Damn thing bolted up the show field with me holding on for dear life.
A *friend* once split her jods as she went over a jump.........

Local show,,The Judge was running it's hands down the inside of a geldings back leg and it pee'd on her but the best bit is that she had a wide brimmed hat on and it all puddle'd in her hat.
 
i had a youngster in for schooling called willow, took it RC Sj and called it wibbly wobbly willow for a lauf the judge called out wibbly wobbly willy was price less evey body started wetting themselves before she altered it to willow! evey time i entered it she changed it to 'just' willow!!!!
 
Also didnt happen in the ring but i remember once i had just come out of the ridden d and was in a hurry to brush the mud of the horse because the mountain and mourland was the next class so ran up to the lorry, tied the horse outside the lorry, proceeded to brush him and put chalk on him. couldnt find the cloth to rub my boots clean so went in the cab, i opened the door and though 'oh this looks funny, i cant remeber the cab being this clean, and since when have we hung up all the rossettes on the dash board?' i though something was going on so i jumped out, stood back and observed the lorry and then it hit me like a brick. Im at the wrong lorry!! so i had tied my horse up and opened somebody elses cab and jumped in because i though it was ours lol this seriously did happen and i was SO embarased. i swear to god the lorry the same make as ours and luckily i knew the people who owned it so we just laughed it off and though nothing of bit but can you imagine what i would have done if i didnt know them and they just saw me jumping in and out of theyr lorry with my horse tied up against it... god i would have dies with embarasment!!
 
oh so many! on my mums happy hacker i took him in to a local show in the 2ft and i knew most of the people there. they where all shouting GO ON. WHOOO at the side lines and the horse stopped and had a big poo. that was hilarious.

umm i went in the ring and fell off before the start. horse bolted and jumped a few jumps him his path and commentator said when i got up, 'you where ment to ride the course dear'
 
Years ago when i had my pony sonny he was a great jumper and you just needed to point him at the jumps. well i was about to jump the wrong jump so diverted him and he did not like that and took a bucking fit about 10 times then had a rest then started again.Eventually he stopped and we carried on the coarse.
i was so embarrassed.

My instructor took my cob (when he was a young cob) round a jumping class, me and dad stood in the audience, two women next to us startign nattering about how they couldnt see how "it" could possibly get round a course of this size and that the rider shoudl get himself a proper horse
confused.gif

Ended up beating all the "proper" horses with, i seem to remember one of the only clears
grin.gif
We walked off to give cob a big pat and cuddle and dad turned and told the women to perhaps get themselves a "proper" horse like ours
grin.gif
 
Not in the ring but in the warm up, I was riding a coloured cob at a local fun show. He was normally the safe type cob, but I asked him to canter and he bucked.. so I kicked him on and he had a bucking fit, dumped me then stopped and waited for me to get back on
grin.gif

We went on to win the coloured class

I think you were talking to me ? Haha

If so, yes, fine thank you
smile.gif
felt more for the pony actually, I caught his head between me and the pole
blush.gif

My fault - jump off turn, I got cocky (for once!) took it too tight and voila, pony stopped. I came away with a sore bum, but was alright
smile.gif


Sequence...

I then landed rather hard on the ground, on my bum
blush.gif


then got back on and tried it again, and rode like a numpty and this happened
smirk.gif
I ended up sat on his neck, but managed to stay on

Poor horse probably couldn't wait to get me off his back

We still managed 3rd place in the horse and hound sj for fun, and 4th place in that sj - it was only a small yard show though
smile.gif


People still take the mick for that fall, apparently was very amusing to watch

... it was over a year ago now

I just read that and it made me laugh so much thank you, just tickled me i guess !
 
One from home, going clear, and the horse slipped and fell on top of me. Everyone panicked, but we were both totally fine. I felt a right muppet for all the fuss that was made

My old boy was well known for going into sj rings backwards - he would get so excited that the only way I could stop him rearing was to go in backwards, do passage to somewhere near the first fence and keep his back to it, then spin him round and let him go when the bell went. Most people locally knew about it but if people saw it for the first time they were quite shocked and amused.

He would also stop dead as soon as he had jumped every fence and once in an indoor competition you had to go back to do number one as the last fence as there wasn't enough room for more fences. He downright refused to go anywhere near it as he knew he'd already done it once. I would turn him towards it and he would spin away (about 20 feet away so wasn't a refusal) but he kept arguing for about 15 seconds until he finally twigged what he was supposed to do and went for it.....and then tried to go for fence 2 as well - he thought he was starting again!
 
At our first ever show I was trying to get Monty into the ring but he was doing his rearing and running backwards routine, so badly so that he actually sat on the burger van. The best bit was there was red stuff all over the floor and everyone paniced, turns out he'd squished a bottle of tommy k!
 
My first time jumping at a show, in the warm up we went to jump in a tiny 6" cross pole, George's numnah slipped as we landed and he bucked and I fell off completely spreadeagled face down in the arena. I was winded and couldn't get up for a few minutes and the paramedics came over still clutching their lunch - oh the shame!
 
Riding my friends baby cob in the clear round SJ at a local show, got around to the 5th jump, refused it once, I stayed on, refused it twice, I stil stayed on, refused it a 3rd time, I flew over her head, landed face first on the floor and then flipped onto my side, got up, to find my entire yard watching and laughing!
I then couldn't get back on, OH had to leg me up and i accidently kicked him so left lots of mud all over him.

When we finished I got a rosette for clearing the course :P.

She did go clear eventually!
 
We were doing a pairs jumping class a few years ago, and were going second ... just as my partner jumped the last jump ready for the handover, Snowy decided to go for an extremely long wee, so I had to wait till she had finished before I could set off, needless to say we didnt ger a rosette that day!
 
When I first bought my horse I took him in a little jumping competition at our yard. On my instructors advice we started off at 1'6 as he hadn't seen a lot of fillers.
I went in very pleased with myself and my lovely new horse but didn't realise he got stage fright and wouldn't jump with people watching him. After the 3rd go he deposited me on a 6' cross pole in front of everyone. He then went over a couple of jumps with one of the yard staff and almost had her on the floor a few times.
His old owner offered to get on him for the next class to show me how to get him going. All we heard was her shouting "stand clear" from outside before charging into the school and belting round like a maniac until the bell rang. He jumped clear!
We adopted this technique for a while, until he ran away with me and we ended up doing circuits of the show jumping ring with me regaining enough control every so often to jump a fence - obviously we were eliminated. After that I decided a less frantic approach was needed and fortunately we found he had got over his nerves and can now enter the ring like a normal horse.
 
many moons ago i took my old horse into a working hunter, all was going well until we swung round to the bull finch, he stopped, i didn't fall off but they had made it out of willow (which is his favorite) and as i turned round we took about a 1/3 of the jump with us in his teeth as he had tried to have a snack, i was asked over the tannoy (if they could have their fence back as there where still some competitors) and yes i went red
