Whats the funniest unforunate horsey incident you've effer seen?

[Starbucks]

So come on, we all laugh sometimes!! I mean unfortunate for a human! This is mine…

My dad used to do this Cavalry thing, they went to big shows and events and ponced about a bit, they got paid £50 per rider and £50 per horse and we had three big smexy horses at the time, so dad saw it as a bit of an earning opportunity! Anyway, one was a 17.2 young Irish horse, He certainly looked the part and so the “captain” (some guy who had been in the proper cavalry at some point, although a complete arse and not a horseman) decided he wanted to ride him at a practice, so that he could ride the smexy one at the next show. Now, Rocky was a bit of a handful, they were having a practice before this show and although dad suggested he might want to take his v. v. big spurs off the captain dismissed the idea in a jiffy.

All was going well, until they got to a bit where they all had to gallop down the length of the school (an indoor one), the captain gave Rocks a bit kick with his uber spurs and Rocky was off!!!!! – full gallop with uber bucks down the school, until he got to the end, where he turned right and the captain flew through a small Perspex window (he was a big chap!) into the canteen!!!!

He was ok-ish, but he was such a "I know it all, listen to me you plebs" kind of guy, we never saw him again!!

So, has anyone got any funny but cruel stories to tell me??

One of our masters put sich an effort into getting on last season, that he went straight off the other side.
Only a few of us saw, and the rest couldnt figure why our sides were splitting in silence.

Mine was when a friend of mine was trying to learn western riding and when trying to dismount, got her bra hooked on the horn at the front of saddle!
I have never laughed so much....sorry Jane!!!

When back on ponies friend was jumping in a 1m10ish class. She jumped into a two strided double very sticky and result was she fell off but pony went on and jumped second part of double without her! No injuries but very funny and such a shame it wasn't caught on camera as well deserving of You Been Framed!

When we were younger, there was a girl who was determined to ride the horse I had on loan, Blue.

She kept on and on and on until we let her....he bolted with her in an instant, and she flew off after about the fourth lap round the field.

To add insult to injury I got straight back on him and he was cool as a cucumber!!!!


I fell of same horse however when I thought he would be fine in leadrope and headcollar - he wasnt!

Mine has to be when i was watching a very good friend SJ at Solihull, was recording her round and was all going well till she came to a very spooky double (well her horse thought so anyway) jumped in fine, landed and spun round resulting in mate on the floor, so got back on brought him round to it again and excatly the same thing happened, poor Emma landed in the same postition and place, damn we should have sent that into You've been framed!!

my brother was having his first riding lesson on our new pony. he`d done really well until it was time to get off.

as he leaned forward he farted and then as he dismounted his body protector got caught on the saddle and he fell over onto his bum on wet sand. was soooo funny espically as there were quite a few people watching

 

[harrihjc]

no people involved, but my horses are rather stupid and make me laugh! My mare who I had on loan several years ago was scratching her belly on a large road cone, and got stuck on top of it somehow as it was longer than her legs

She looked so embarrassed! We used to keep our carrots in a bin with a swing lid on it...until Flash shoved his head right through the lid trying to steal carrots and got it stuck round his neck, stupid greedy horse!

Mine has to be my 10 year old sister last week. She decided to jump my mum's pony (14.2hh) over a 2'6" jump. Pony stag jumped with about a foot to spare, poor sis flew out the side door, landed on all fours and face straight into sand school. Poor girl she was fine but had sand in her mouth,ears down her top, under her body protector and down her jodhpurs!! Once we realised she was ok I'd never laughed so much in my life.

Hee hee that reminds me of something similar a friend did years ago. She was in a working hunter class, went in to a jump, fell off, got back on and did this about 3 times in a row, totally unphased. Most people would have given up the first time but no Michelle just kept at it, we were in hysteics!

These are brilliant - I'm reading them at work and I'm in tears with laughing so much - my line manager's just walked and looked at me strangely. Needless to say I couldn't tell him what I was laughing at as I'm supposed to be working!!!!!

I think one of the funniest falls I've seen was a young girl I used to help with her very lazy, very quiet gypsy cob. She was determined to teach him to jump so built a wierd sort of obstacle involving packing crates and a long plastic bendy pole.

Of course he cantered in and slammed the brakes on and she flew over his head and landed on the pole, which being plastic and long started to bounce up and down with her hanging over it. She was completely stuck with her legs and hands off the ground bouncing gently up and down for ages. Hillarious.

When I was at college we had a girl who used to ride in our lessons who was forever getting bolted on and chucked off. One time the horse took off with her round the school. What is the best way to stop the horse? Lean forwards and scream down its ear of course!! Needless to say she had a rapid dismount!

Another lesson, we swapped horses half way through. She swapped onto a horse that had behaved perfectly well all lesson. The second she was on, it bolted down the school directly at me. I was on an RDA pony and this thing was 16.2hh. I managed to get the pony to take a couple of steps forwards and she flew over the pony's bum and slid down the wall, just missed going into the gallery!!
