Lets see those jumps gone wrong!

some are these are sooooo funny

I have just learned that this is where I SHOULD be at this point during takeoff. You learn something new every day!

I don't have any pictures unfortunatly (they would have been so hilarious!) However, I have stories!

The first time I fell off jumping, my pony stopped really smoothly in front of the jump so all I did was kind of just slide down his neck down to his nose and I just stayed there until he shook me off.

The second time(same jump)he refused very sharply and I fell right on top of the jump's pole. My arm hurt so bad, but stangly it didn't break.

The last jumping incident I didn't fall off, but it was really embarassing. I was jumping a really hard jump and my horse jumped it really deep. I lost one of my stirrups and sort of flew out of the saddle. When I came back down from the air I miraculously landed on the horse, not the ground. However, I landed behind the saddle! My horse just looked up at me like "what are you doing up there?" and my instructor just started cracking up. I so wish i had a picture of that one..........

I don't have any that are as amusing as some of yours lol, but I have a few.

The photographer spooked my boy, so he took off wayyy early. You can't really tell from the angle that the pic was taken, but if I remember correctly (this was like 5 years ago) he was more than a stride early...hence my leg lol.


His legs in this one make me giggle. Whenever he decided a jump was too low for him to dignify with a proper jump, he'd do something silly like this.


This is the stallion that used to live at our barn while my trainer was teaching him to be a better jumper...as you can see, this was at the early stages of his training haha (he actually went on to be a lovely show jumper). I had to KICK him over that fence!

Some of these are SO good! :)

Well my 'thing' likes to jump 2' fences like they're 4'! ALL the time. If he jumps one normal it's once in a blue moon. I think he's just jumping the height he feels is easier for him... sometimes I think it's cause he thinks it's fun. We went back to basics with him this year worrying that he was rushing jumps because of pain. Well we fixed the rushing but he still jumps things huge and it's not pain, and it's not fear...it's just him having his fun. haha


For example (don't judge my position hahaha, hard to keep it when a horse you expect to jump 2'3 jumps 4'3!!!):

Royal, he deff has a HUGE jump. he has great form tho.

I saw long, she saw short = bunny hop



I managed to stay on and finished my line at the trot without stirrups lol.

yikes!

haha yes i did stay on...it was a 3'3" swedish then a tight turn to this jump then a REALLY tight turn & like 4-5 strides to a super skinny jump....this horse was wild & a VERY fast jumper, she also has interesting gaits as she is 1/2 welsh cob. shes a very good girl though =]

we REALLY didn't like this jump...
