Following on from the embarrassing falls...

Whats the most embarrassing thing you have had happen on the back of a horse?

Many moons ago I was rushing around, grabbed my johds and whacked them on. I hadn't had time to do any washing so I was erm... knickerless! Didn't think any one would notice so didn't worry about it.

That day I had a x country session around one of the local farms. All went well and the guys were really friendly... Not abnormal but friendlier than normal... Didn't think anything of it and farmers can be a funny bunch. Stopped off at home to have a quick pee before rushing off to my next yard.

As I pulled up my johds I glanced down and saw that my wonderful dog had eaten the crutch out!

The farm boys still give me a big grin whenever I see them! :o
 
Noooo! That is so wrong. Nothing even remotely like that has ever happened to me!

Thanks for sharing though, brightens up a dull afternoon :D
 
WARNING Don't read if easily grossed out ;)
Not me, but I know some one who was leading for a while. Hopped on, rode, hopped off. And where they had sweated through their bum, they'd stained the saddle in sweat, and there's a sweat patch still there despite a number of cleans.


I think my most embarrassing would be, going to get on from the block, RI, and YO behind me waiting to get on their horses. I did something, horse stepped forward, and I ended up, with my right leg, over behind the saddle, my left leg, under the horse, and my side on the left of the horse. God knows how I managed it? 0.o

Being legged up onto a round cob (bareback) and going straight over the other side!

I've got these horrible jodhpurs that are silky thin cord. Riding a pony when I was about 16, decided to be cool and dismount with my left leg over the front of the saddle and slide off that way. The pony had peacock stirrups irons and the irons caught on my thin jods and ripped a big hole in the bum!!!

:eek: Nothing like that to me!! :p

One of my friends was wearing white johds, for an entire day.. Didn't realise it was 'that time of the month' .. and we had a jump rally at the end of that day :eek: I felt awful for her!!

I think the worst thing ever for me was doing my D+ PC test, wore cream johds to look smart, sitting in the car on the way there, my au pair manages to pour her takeaway coffee ALL over my lap on the way there, so went there and did it in stained johds. Still passed though :D xx
 
I fell off my 16.2 mare in stand last winter, I just went to get off and forgot I had legs....about half the riding school and serveral liveries were watching at the time, and many peeps have commented it was a perfect you tube moment!!
 
One of my worst was as a teenager. I'd been to a party the night before quite a big show (for us anyway) and was absolutely hanging the next morning.

Went and jumped a nice steady clear round and then had to do a uber quick jump off and we won so I went back in for prize giving with my head spinning and my stomach churning. The rossette was coming my way, the photographer poised ............................ and I was promtly sick all down my ponies neck.

I was sooooooooooooo mortified and I don't think anyone else was hugely impressed either
 
Came back from a lovely hack round the village with friend:) - I was following up the rear and we had done a fair bit of trotting as it was 'home time' so we kept moving to get out of the way of the cars etc. Village was fairly busy fro here and we kept seeing people we knew:). It was only when I dismounted a the yard that I noticed my breeches had split up the seam at the back:eek::eek::eek: - luckily I had knickers on but have no idea when the seam gave way so how long I had been flashing for........:eek::eek::D:D:D

The time of the month thing happened to me!! I was having a jumping lesson in cream jods from my YO/RI who happens to also be a man, and my best friend and her boyfriend was watching. I had totally forgot to change my tampon so I leaked all over and didnt realise. I went over the jump and I thrusted my bot in the air as you do and my RI asked 'hanna do you have something on your crotch??' I had a look and had a massive puddle, and it went on my saddle saver and saddle...great. Cue lots of laughing, so I had to ask the other YO wife for a tampon and was forced by my RI to finish my lesson who wore an evil smile for the rest of it.

Oh and another time I was at a show and was totally oblivious to the fact that a bird had had a massive poo on my head until Somebody eventually decided to tell me after they had their laughs.

Put it this way said event was well over 12 years ago and I still blush.

But being that its Friday and lots of people have had a bad time of it recently I figured that what the hey why not have a giggle at my expense ;)

Needless to say I ALWAYS wear pants when riding. I have a very respectable pair that I wouldn't mind anyone seeing that I keep just for shows! So far so good!
 
at college!

I had been out and got absolutely rat-faced the night before and had a riding lesson first thing in the morning. I had spent most of the night throwing up and had nothing to eat.

Got to college and realised I forgot my riding boots so tried to ride in my toe-tectors but they wouldnt fit in stirrups. Instructor told us all to take our stirrups and leathers off. We had an hours lesson with no stirrups...in trot...

As we came to a halt at the end of the lesson, I felt myself go hot, then cold and felt all the colour drain from my face. Threw myself off of pony and pegged it to the end of the menage. Threw up inside the gate, outside the gate...on the muckheap and just outside the yard.

I have been nicknamed "Yak" by my friends ever since...
 
Hehe - these are great!
My most embarrassing moment was after I had galloped my previous horse, Jake, up a stubble field. He often would fly-buck but didn't on this occasion so when I got to the top of the field I pulled him up, gave him a big pat and said (in a fairly loud voice I suppose:p) "Well done my baby, you are such a clever boy, mummy really enjoyed that and I think you did too, didn't you?".

I failed to notice a bloke walking his dog almost next to me!
He just smiled at me as I went bright red:eek:
 
These are fantastic!
At the moment we have a lot of work men passing through the farm from the fields at the bottom and one day as we hacked out (literally 2 mins off the yard) a Land Rover came past full of these work men. They slowed down for us, I pulled Kelly up and just as they started to move past us she must have spotted something green (and therefore edible :rolleyes:) on the opposite side of the road and dived out in front of this Land Rover before I could stop her.
The guys put their brakes on and were laughing their backsides off, as I redfaced tried to pull the silly mare (and me!) out of the bushes .... :o
 
These are a riot! I'd have to say mine was at my first 3-Day Event. I was competing in the Training Level event with my Morgan cross. In our dressage test, he picked up the wrong lead at the canter and managed to trip over the low barrier around the arena, essentially falling out of it - in front of the largest audience I'd ever showed in front of. Quite mortifying.
 
I fell off my 16.3 in a 1'6 clear round ( hadnt jumped for years and was getting confidence back ) He couldnt beleive what I was asking him to do and tried to shuffle over one tripped over it and twisted while I slid off sideways. I was about the only one doing it not being led by their mum and over about 8. made worse by all the mums rushing over to see if I was ok !
 
These are hilarious!

The other week I'd forgotten my jodhpurs (I sometimes get changed at the yard) so had to ride in skinny jeans. Halfway through the hack, i felt the seam rip at the back. Arse on show to everyone - I tried to get home as soon as possible but didn't want to trot so stayed glued to the saddle leaning back the whole way. Never ride in skinny jeans!

Took my 16.2h share horse round a 2ft jumping class as a warm up, he believes anything below 3ft is beneath him and so crashed through every single jump, and we lost to lots of 11 year olds on tiny ponies. I was so embarassed!
 
Yeh i did the leg up thing and went straight over the other side (also a very rounded cob)

Pony refused jump last minuite, slid down his neck and snapped the pole in half lol !
 
Having a lesson on a VERY hot day some years ago, talking to instructor afterwards and feeling myself getting very lightheaded. I managed to stumble off my horse, but keeled around the arena first before falling flat on my face, out for the count. Obviously caused a bit of mayhem on the yard, and I awoke to find people staring at me in the face. My instructor still recalls the day, and unfortunately so do I! :o
 
I strutted out onto the yard where I used to look after hunters, in my new 'eBay bargain' jods, mucked out, groomed etc then stopped for a tea break with gardener. He made a comment, of which I only heard 'hole in trousers' and I just laughed thinking he meant he had a hole in his trousers....I carried on working, went out on exercise, changed a poultice on tricky patient, whilst my boss's wife held her ( I was at this point bent completely over, bum facing her).....trotted off down the field to retrieve naughty dog - tractor man there in field talking to boss, I then walk back up field dragging said dog by collar half bent over as I walked!! And of course, I didn't realise I had a whopping great split right down the centre seam of my jods until I got home, sat on a plastic chair and thought 'ooh, this feels a bit funny'!! Criiiiinge!!! Not one person (apart from the gardener) said a word to me! :)

Sorry but that made me laugh...mainly because the little novice event that I plan to take Charlie to for our 1st party is like this!!! :)
 
i have a couple :p

Once when doing some work experience (was about 15 at the time) i was sent to get a pony from the field, which should have been an easy job with only him in the closest field. Got within 2 metres of him and he promptly gallops all the way to the end of the next field and tries to ''hide from me'' in the bushes. Finally catch the horse after trekking to the other side (he then just stood there and let me catch him) and tried to get back to the yard but was completely bemused by the gates. All in all it must have taken me 20 minutes just to catch one pony! YM was rather confused!

Next one a little more recent. After a heavy night of drinking i was feeling slightly unsteady on me feet (most probably still slightly drunk). Had to take up the mare i was riding, she was tied up outside in view of everyone. Seemingly sensing my worse for ware state she refused to let me put on her bridle despite my best attepts to pull her head up and get it on. Eventually my RI took pity on me and put it on herself. :p:D:rolleyes:
