Went out for a hack the other day, on the way home a man popped out from a bridleway and took my photo

. He then said he was trying out a new camera and his wife was fed up with him taking piccies of her
smirk.gif
. Then this morning, my neighbour says she has a letter that was obviously meant for me - it had been popped through her catflap and was addressed to "the lady on the big horse with the lovely smile"

With a note saying "thanks for letting me take your photo - picture enclosed - Steve"

At which point, husband, neighbour, me & horse all collapse in giggles. Opening envelope I find a poem

and a terrible photo of yours truly. Passed neighbour when I was out hacking this morning and she asks if I have picked anyone else up.... the funny thing is she is going to have any future poems/messages/notes as my admirer obviously thinks I live in her cottage:D
laugh.gif
Even funnier is that I am a granny - and not exactly a glamorous one at that

So come on - what's happened to you?
 
I don't know whether you ought to be flattered or worried, LOL!

My daughter and I often hack in some local woodland which is very quiet and not often used by others. There is a very quiet and little-used lane that runs along one side of it. One day, as we were riding past a gate that opens onto the lane I saw the postman's van parked there. Then I saw the postman standing by the gate - and then I did a double-take and saw he had his dangler out and was having a wee

. Poor man was mortified when he realised he had been spotted and jumped in his van and drove off at speed!
 
What did the poem say?

I have had photos taken of me twice while out hacking. Didnt really mind but personally I would be a bit freaked out if I got something through what was thought to be my door! Its a bit like those drivers on the motorway who speed up and slow down so they keep pace with you!
 
Lots of things! Near my yard is a vehicle service place where a lot of young guys work, they were in their van once and drove along next to us, trying to chat us up and talking a lot about whips.

Oh and once I was on my own and a man stopped his van and was looking a bit weird. When I got up closer I heard moans and a girl was "down there". I was like

I've had photos taken of me when I've been hacking. I don't mind really but would be rather freaked if someone posted them through what they thought was my door.
Probably the funniest thing was when I was hacking one at work, just crossed the bypass and met a herd of 6 cows running towards me. I just managed to stop my horse bolting and slowly walked him forwards to get the cows back from the bypass. Luckily my horse was well trained so we half passed up the road to push the cows back and then the farmer turned up and opened a gate so we could get the cows in to the field. I was given a bottle of wine for that!
 
My first ever hack with Mae, my friend came out with me on her horse, OH was offered a horse but refused wanted to try out his new mountain bike instead, so cycled behind us. Said he would rather not ride incase Mae played up.

We were trotting and he decided to stop and take off his jacket, we were a fair bit ahead of him when he re-started so he cycled like crazy. Next thing there was a bang and a scream. The chain had come off and he went flying over handlebars.

He ended up breaking his elbow, funny thing is Mae was an angel, never put a foot wrong!!! Nurses had a giggle when he explained how he done it lol.

The poem was called "smile" and was all about how wonderful a smile was

Yes, suppose it is a bit freaky especially as my neighbour just told me he put it throught her catflap at 6.00 this morning. Perhaps he took photos of lots of people and was doing the rounds
 
Oo-er, stalker alert!!! At least he doesn't really know where you live! Quite flattering for you though.

This didn't happen to me, but to a friend of mine. She was hacking along a lane when a car came toward her. The car slowed down, so she thanked the driver - when she looked in the car, male driver was completely starkers!!!
shocked.gif


Where DO these people come from?!?!
 
Very funny, but how did he know where you lived? I wouldn't give a man "who popped out from the bridleway" any clue as to where I lived.

Anyway, I don't think it's funny per se, the most bizarre thing to happen to me out hacking, only recently, left me a little red faced. We were coming to a little round-a-bout in the village as a horse drawn hearse came across the round-a-bout in front of us. Patches was most excited by this and danced and cantered and pulled me down the road, neighing to the funeral horses. I was so embarrassed. All these tear stained people in following cars and my horse thinks it's the most exciting thing ever. I felt so disrespectful.
 
well done of you! You pulled! He sounds a little slave-ish though.

I think prob one of the funniest things:- oh I have two!

My friend and I took a trip to the seaside, Holkham Beachin Norfolk and we were having a lovely long canter side by side, having gone quite some distance, left, (you know what sort of beach is up there!!?) she said "that bloke looks as though he is naked up ahead!" and I said, "nah, surely he's just got skin coloured clothes on!" but as we approached, sure enough he was starkers, bless him, funny thing was he was holding a cool box behind his back, why didn't he just pop it infront whilst we cantered by shrieking with laughter at him!

Other thing, I was out for the first time on this horse, and she spooked into a crop field and jumped again and again, like a dog in long grass!
 
Oh my! How did he know where you live?

I suppose anyone who saw the pheasant fly into me and Be while we trotting along the bridleway on monday would have probably have had a giggle

I was very near home when I saw him the other day - Most people round here would probably know where the horses are. Like anywhere else really. Still it was my neighbour's house that he thought was mine.

Thanks Walder for the glamorous bit

- but I think you may need new glasses

Ive had photos taken of me while hacking out, although to be honest I think they were wanting photos of the horse! It was around Appleby time and we were swimming in the river, I think they assumed we were gypsies! I also had my horse sprayed with blue sheep marker, but that was only funny for the stupid farmer that did it.
A friend of mine once had a dog jump up at her horse, cling onto her leg and drag itself onto the saddle while she was out riding. She wasnt impressed at the time, but laughs about it now!
 
It didn't happen to me it happened to a friend. We were out for a hack one Sunday afternoon and we decided on a good gallop up this grassy track alongside a field. So off we went, when we got to the top there were two electricity blokes up a pylon giggling away as my friends top had come unbuttoned
blush.gif
There she was eyes streaming because of the wind and her top wide open giving the blokes up the pylon a lovely view
grin.gif
 
I was out riding once with a few people and the conversation turned to Jeremy Kyle, we were on a road which not many people use, I started saying how most of the time he says to the guest "You are SCUM, you disgust me!" just as this really polite driver went by very slowly with his window down
blush.gif
.
I did shout "Sorry, I didn't mean you!".
That was a tad embarrassing!
 
Was riding out with a friend, she dropped her reins to do up her jacket as we were walking past the village war memorial and her horse decided to pick up one of the wreaths and cantered off down the road shaking poppies all over the place, couldn't make him drop the wreath and was mortified as people were just coming out of church and they all saw what her horse did.
laugh.gif
 
The most embarrassing thing I've ever done is wear a boob tube and strapless bra whilst riding in an effort to improve my tan, lets just say things got 'interesting' when I trotted
laugh.gif
 
We were out hacking and passed a traffic warden who had stopped his motorbike on a slant at the side of the road. He put the stand down on the bike, went to dismount and him and the bike went crashing down together. It made the horses spook but I had the giggles for the rest of the day.
grin.gif
 
I was riding past some builders this morning. They told me they were really disappointed - when they heard hooves the thought it might be Lady Godiva.
I did explain to them I was keeping my clothes on in the public interest as they wouldn't want to see all my white wobbly bits!
 
Years ago on my pony, I was out hacking round a local hilly park, and came across a couple in flagrante in the bushes. My pony planted, and refused to budge in any direction, and I didn't know where to look.......

Patches, loved yours!!
grin.gif
 
I was out hacking once down a bridle path , and a car was parked blocking the bridleway. The car was moving rather a lot, you've guessed it
blush.gif
. I wasn't going to go all the way back, so I banged on the roof of the car and asked them politely to move, and that this bridleway was NOT a knocking shop!!!!, I have never seen two people move sooooo quickly in my life, the car was moved very promptly.

Funniest thing? Two words. Naked cyclist.

Even funnier was the fact that when he saw me ahead, he panicked, backtracked down the hill, pulled a pair of shorts on and then carried on past me again.....
 
Um most were scary at the time

The man who followed us claiming he was a cowboy from argentina he actually followed us even carrying his bike over bits he couldnt do, so we went down a steep hill, then galloped back up knowing he couldnt catch up!

The naked man that occasionaly jumps out the bushes, the random man who suddently set up a tent in a field and lives there!, the man who walks round in his slippers, the brownies guides convinced mine and my frirneds horse were daddy and baby because her's is a pony!
 
PMSL

Was out hacking around the farmland that the yard uses. Had already done the 2hr hack in an hour
blush.gif

and we somehow managed to attract the attention of a jack russell.

Sedately walking down the road with this dog in tow and every car driver giving us evils whilst the escort was shouting "it's not my dog, it's not my f'ing dog!!!" Thankfully we knew who's it was, so stopped off (on horseback) at the saddlery & little restuarant place to deliver it back (think we grabbed lunch too
blush.gif
)

Then had to proceed to get home quickly as we would have been back late and then had to try and explain how come 3 ponies were covered in head to toe mud, us in mud and that we'd only been round the farm track
