I was coming around the third barrel and my lesson horses foot sunk down into the mud. He went down on his knees and I flew forward and face planted into the mud! It was so embarrassing because my whole family was watching and got it on video!

We had cleared every jump, and we were making record time. Then the last jump approached. We were supposed to go around another fence in order to make it over cleanly, but we jumped the wrong vertical! That had to be the most embarrassing thing in my life! Ever!

When I hit the ground I couldn’t get it unhooked. To make matters worse the horse started walking away. My friend still makes fun of me for it!

I didn’t usually show with this pony, but that day was special because his previous owner was there to see him. My instructor put me with him for the purpose of showing him off. But he decided to drag me across the arena instead of look cute. I was so shocked it took me about half the arena to let go!

When he bucked and I hit the ground a dozen people came running up. When I looked for my horse I was my giant crush leading him back to me!

You know that thing they do in the movies where you just hold the hair in the withers to keep you in place. Well I tried that and ended up sliding half way up my arabian’s neck! She slowly stopes and gave me a “um… What are you doing?” look. I just slide off her neck and continued riding, ignoring odd looks from other people at the farm.

After bragging him up as a safe, sound, steady gelding that anyone could ride, and last but not least, one of the calmest I’ve known, I rode him out and he started shying at a new log jump I’d just layed out that morning and trained him on! I came up red faced and embarrassed as I tried to explain. They laughed and bought the horse.

To top it off, I continued backwards and banged my head on her horse’s right hind foot. That sent her horse flying. Of course the riders that were already at camp saw the whole thing.
