First Jumping Show
Ok, since I screwed up on the tread I posted "The Ride of My Life" by not reading that is it suppose to be "funny" and since the Pony story reminded me of a real funny thing that happened, I thought I post it.
This happened when I was 13 years old. I was at my first horse show on a 18 year old Appendix Mare who I normally take lessons on. I was new to jumping, but was doing good at home. We went to this show and it was a simple cross rail jump to another simple cross rail jump with 5 strides in between. We troted into the first cross-rail cantered out and was cantering the 5 strides and my Mare stumbled just before the second fence then over jumped it, which left me behind and I was catchin mad air above her. When we both landed after the jump, I landed on right her neck in front of the saddle!!!! Everyone gasp and waited to see if I'd say on. Well, she cantering around the arena as I was trying to get my butt back onto the saddle. Well, thus to say, I managed to get back in the saddle and stopped the horse. Everyone started clapping and said I should win the blue for horse gymnastics!
