Boxing Day Hunt 2006 - I was jumping a bank with Castle, I don't know how I managed it but I ended up BEHIND the saddle! There was a long gallop to where to rest of the field were standing about, and I have no idea how I stayed on! I still had my reins at the buckle sort of holding onto the saddle as I DID NOT want to slide off! Castle kept galloping on, if he had thrown in a buck I would be eating the dirt!
He slowed down and halted once we reached the rest of the field, and I manged to wiggle back into the saddle and got a large round of applause!
Priceless memory, there were a few onlookers too

Years ago me and my friend decided we'd ride one of the horses back from the field - bareback, just in halter. We were heading over a shallow ditch, but the horse leapt huuuuuge over it. We both fell (I was clinging onto my friend) and landed in a bog, flat on our backs with a squelch lol. The horse just stood there watching us in hysterics while we tried to unattach ourselves from the mud. Ahhh - those were the days

I was opening a gate once on my pony when I was little and somehow got my leg stuck on the gate. He started walking backwards and put his head down and I slid straight down his neck, landed on my feet in front of him with the reins through my legs!

Once I was out riding with my sister down a bridleway - she had her reflective tabbard on and got a branch hooked under the shoulder of it as we walked through some trees. The pony walked out from underneath her and she ended up suspended by the branch until it snapped and she landed in a heap on the floor

A livery at my old yard had just finished a large pussiance class on his wonder pony and had a clear round. They were standing watching the rest of the class when the pony put his head down to drink. Livery slid right down his pony's neck verrrry slowly and landed in a heap.

Where do I start!!!!
One day I was poopicking in the field and had wheelbarrow full of poo. One of my old chaps has to follow his mummy and nudge her the whole time. I turned round to face hime with my back to the barrow and... yep you guessed it got nudged into the barrow. Barrow fell over and left me covered in poo!!!
I think he was put up to it by my other chap!! Sure I heard him chuckle!!
Another one....
I was out with a friend and her pony years ago! Her pony wouldnt go through puddles. Well, there was an enormous puddle about a foot deep and very muddy, so I said in my wisdom, I'll lead you through the puddle from my pony. We were in the middle of the puddle with me leaning over trying to convince friends pony to go through the water when I swear my horse breathed in and my saddle slipped underneath his belly. I ended up in the puddle on my bum, absolutely soaked and my horse legged it!!! Laughing no doubt!! It was the same one who laughed at me covered in poo above!!
He was, and still is, a bit of a joker!! Fortunately, for him, a very pretty boy.

i went the pub on izzy and we decided to order some chips while waiting she decided to try and sit down on the bench, play with the large umbrella that she was amazed could spin round wooooo. When the chips came we played tug of war with the basket, then she picked up the fork, next she got her mouth round the vinegar and tried to drink that then the salt was the next target. so after clearing the table the only thing left was my coke which she had to taste! her mouth went round that lmao. Everyone was laughing i was so embarased and a woman came over to stroke her she said "i am scared of horses but i have to come and she this one cause she is hillarious(sp)"

my brothers was definatly his first riding lesson
as he leant forward to get off he farted then caught his body protector on the saddle and fell onto his bum on the wet sand. we couldnt stop laughing it was sooo funny lol
one of mine was i was jumping my pony at a quite big fence. she refused but i managed to (somehow) stay on. unfortuantly i came out of the saddle and was sitting on her neck and she then decided it would be fun to start eating the grass
so i was gradually sliding down her neck trying to pull her head up and screaming at my friend to pull her head up. thankfully my friend managed to pull her head up so i stayed on but only just

I have two
1. I was riding a horse for someone and was asked to bring in his field mate, a donkey, for the vet. So being ever so clever I decided to jump on and ride her in. Well a man was fixing the barn roof and as I passed at a little donkey trundle he threw some tiles behind us, poor old donk woke up and with much haste galloped away with me going further and further up her neck until I landed in an embarrassed heap in front of her owner!
2. My lovely old mare decided the 99 flake ice cream I was eating should be shared. This was whilst I was waiting for a showing class at a show, she pestered me constantly until I gave in and gave her the end of the cone with melted ice cream in the bottom, she ate it with immense pleasure but her face screwed up and the cone exited ten times faster than it entered with her utter contempt. Unbeknown to me everyone had stopped watching the class to watch me and my idiot of a ned, bless her!

I have two...
...It was my final riding assessment at college and the first horse i rode (A gorgeous bay called Gemma) got a little bit excited when cantering and decided to gallop off at terrifying speed whilst bucking and flicking her head everywhere, i managed to stay on but was quite shook up for the second part which was jumping. I was relieved to find out i'd be riding Morgan (Amazing black welsh D) because he was brilliant to jump.All was going smoothly until he saw the first jump.He charged at it but just went straight through it!!! I think we managed to jump about 2 in the end because he was charging at everything! And the most amazing thing is...... somehow i actually passed the assessment and the course!

Wasn't very funny at the time but it was funny in the sense that it was such a childish stupid thing to do (one of those things you ONLY do when your young!): My pony had escaped from the field and bombed off up a narrow track to eat grass. I put a headcollar on him and figured it would be more fun to hop on bareback and ride back down to the field. Half way back when my other ponies next door decided to all spook at something sending my pony into a Walk to Gallop in 2 seconds. I lost my balance as he galloped (down hill) right along the fence line and slid off landing straight onto a fence post with the back of my thigh, eventually landing in a heap on my back with my legs still vertically up the post. You should have seen the size and colour of the bruise it left! wow.

When I was very little (a very long time ago!) I remember coming back from somewhere with my family and instantly noticing that the ponies weren't in the field. We all went into panic calling and looking for them. Almost immediately a big black police van pulled up outside and asked if we were looking for two ponies. It turns out they had escaped, gone up the lanes and had been herded into a playing field by the residents. The rather large policeman had tried to catch Sammy, the smallest but the most demon of the two, by taking his belt off his trousers and wrapping it round his neck. Sammy had promptly turned and high tailed it leaving the poor policeman to manually hold up his baggy trousers until we went up to retrieve the ponies and his belt!

I used to play junior polo on my old pony. The first proper match we played in we were galloping flat out towards the goal. Suddenly pony screeched to a halt practically sat down and I flew over his head.... He stood there sniffing and snorting at the white lines painted on the pitch (forgot he'd never seen those before!!!)
Same tournament - I was stood next to a couple watching their son play. Son falls off and pony legs it. There is a huge wall at the end of the pitch. Pony keeps going and clears the wall and continues off in next field towards the horizon. Son still in heap on ground. Parents response?? "Excellent we never knew it could jump, we'll take it hunting next season?"
