Title asks all!

Mine was probably out hunting on boxing day, ended up behind the saddle on Castle's a*se after a bank, was galloping along for a while, luckily managed to clamber back into the saddle without falling off, and I think there were photos being circulated around of it...

oh oh, I've got a good one!

I had just had a certain body part pierced in my, erm, private region and decided I would take my dads crazy 17.2 hunting for the first time..... Now, Morris had a very bit jump and as I wasn't used to him he shot me out the saddle and i landed on the pommel - OOOOWWWWW!!!! so anyway, it kind of partial ripped out said piercing and there was lots of blood involved!! Eak!!

needless to say I took it out shortly afterwards!

ETA - right in front of photographer! and it was my fault, not hers lol!
 
... out hunting, dying for a pee. Took my horse behind dry stone wall, removed layers and squatted - mmmmm lovely. Mid flow, looked across the valley to see followers and their vehicles standing on a bank with binoculars

Falling head first into a water jump on xc, horse dropped front legs down into water stopped half in half out and dropped his head and.....weeeeeeee in head first I went, i'm sure he was paying me back for giving him a wake up slap a few fences before!! More embarassing than the fall is the fact the whole thing was caught on video!

Well, I have a baad thing in which when something goes wrong I have a tendancy to swear- usually not that loudly though- was in the ring jumping once when someone either slammed theirrailer ramp OR started their engine, he buggered off with me a little bit before the next jump I went 'OHHH SH**' (he came straight back to me after that

), as I came round the end of the spectators I apologised for my language

Years ago I was at a pony club show on a friends horse that I had only ridden once before. I did a showing class and then went to do the practise jump to do the showjumping. Cantered into a little X pole, swerved to the right and jumped the highest bit and I bounced off. Horse pissed over into the distance and I had to run after her as she kicks!
 
I evented a mare for a couple of seasons that was a bit of a dirty stopper...on her day she was fab, but when she decided she wasn't going to go, you had no chance and she'd perfected dropping her shoulder to put you on the floor every time! Charlton Park PN - she decked me onto the road crossing at fence 3, got back on, jumped it, then she decked me again at fourth fence! Very embarrassing! Decked twice within about 100 yards! Eliminated and spent rest of weekend picking splinters from the parallel at fence four from my face, hands and arms! Nice!
 
Show jumping many years ago. Horse jumping well but then refused, I flew over his head and landed sitting astride the back bar of the parallel, owwww. Worst thing was that I was wearing new boots and struggled to run after him and get back on. Very, very embarrassing.
 
I was 10 years old and gone to my first mock hunt. My friend was frightened and got off her pony, so I got off mine to help her. A kind lady came along and offered to hold my pony, so I could help my friend, as my pony was pouring the ground and snorting like a bull, the lady simply let go of my pony.

My pony then galloped off into the sunset, completely away from all the other horses and my poor dad had to track her. She was found 5 miles away on a golf course tied to a tree.
 
A whole gang of us visited another hunt, my mare fell on landing after a fence and I ended up flat on my back in about 2' of slurry! They hosed me down before I was allowed to go into the kitchen for cawl afterwards

and then there was the time on a freezing cold morning when I was persuaded to have a sherry "for each foot", went to do my girth up and almost fell off the back of my horse because the stuff had gone straight to my head (non drinker you see) nobody helped because they were all peeing themselves laughing too much, I've never been allowed to forget that one.
