Do you get dizzy? (Dizzy bat race with horses!)

Thought I'd share this one, even though I look ridiculous. :wink:

On Sunday, we went to a local horseshow. It was this saddle club's first time putting on a show. They had a few goofy fun events like the Dizzy Bat Race. I have done this before at other shows but they did theirs a little different that I have on the past.

Once you got off your horse, you have to spin around 8 times with your head on the bat. Then get back on your horse and ride back.

Normally, I don't get dizzy. At all. But I've also never had to spin around the bat 8 times. I think the most I've even done "in competition" was 5 times. I had to take a quick moment to get my bearings!!

For the record, we took first place. :lol: (Fastest time wins.)

That looks like so much fun, you have the same issue as me....tall horse! Makes things a tad harder
He's actually only about 15.2 hands. I can even swing up on him no problem.

I was just trying to get the stirrup to "stop spinning" :lol: before I tried to put my foot in it! And no way I was going to try to swing on him when I saddle horn was "spinning" too, haha. But it was fun!


LOL, Red seems so amused with what you're doing!!! "You're supposed to pivot on one foot, not your head, dummy!"
Haha, he has very animated facial expressions. He wears his emotions on his sleeve. :wink:

He's thinking "No what the heck is this stupid human doing??"
