"Roll on the floor laughing" horse stories!?

Question

I am wondering if anyone has a hilarious horse story, it has to have made someone laugh, no sad stories just hilarious! THANKS!

Answer 1

A few months ago, I went to a horse show. There was only 3 riders and 3 horses, so we didnt rent any stalls but we couldn't leave them tied at the trailer.

I showed at the beginning of the day and my friend was showing 3 hours later. So, we were there almost all day and I had to bring the pony I was riding where-ever I went.

They had a food trailer set up, and I was hungry. So, I'm standing back a little bit, debating on if I should take her up or have someone buy me the food. And I was like, "Whatever, come on Ginger (the pony)" We walked right up the the trailer, stood in line with everyone else. You should have seen the looks we were getting, people were like "What the hay?"

And when I was ordering my food, the pony was sniffing around the coolers and they had a bucket of carrots, and she almost took one. Haha :D

Answer 2

Here is one for you, me and my horse were out on a trail ride, the spot when we were the ground is uneven and lopping through the spot was not smart in one of these spots were the ground is low he jumped across it. Me not paying attition I came flying it to the air and looked around on the ground and just saw were thones, so I dicided I was not going to hit the ground so  I grabed his neck. Where I landed was my head  was between his ears and my hole body was laying on his neck. Squezzeing his so hard he was chocking! Stoped  with bolth of us scard we had no ideal what to do, finally I just slide off and stoped chocking him and we went on with out trail ride. Later my dad drew a cartoon about us hugging and my horse tell me to wait until we got back to the barn, becouse he was haveing anough trouble on thorse mountions and didn't need help.

Answer 3

lol eqquus should be here telling her pants down story.

well once i was riding a little shetland cross welsh pony. he was my friends and was apsolutely adorable. well anyway we thought he was bombproof which he was all except for deer we found out. I had a 3 week old faun i had found when it was a new born next to the road where it's mother had just been hit. we called it bambi..yeah original i know...so anyway we were riding him around the property when bambi must of herd my voice and wanted to be fed, so out he comes making the weird noise baby deer  make, well hercules had a coronary jumped about 2 meters in the air and 5 metres to the side leaving me sitting on the ground, then proceeded to come after the faun. well bambi ran to my side for protection and with that i had a very well shod hoof kick me right in the shoulder. and then hercules trotted of looking like a stallion snorting and farting.

Answer 4

Hmm

Some years ago my friend (the yard owner) had a girlfriend who knew everything ( you know the type) well she decided that if we were going to sit around gossiping then she would be useful and clean out the water trough in the field. Off she went with the waterbrush and got scrubbing. Pretty soon we heard a squeal and went to look and she had stood between the fence and the trough and then bent over the trough to clean it. as she bent down her butt hit the electric fence and she was stuck squealing with her hands in the trough and her butt on the fence !

Still wish we'd had a video camera when that happened.

Answer 5

Dan, I can't even believe you were given two points for saying that ludicrous line.

I was training a horse at a client's house, and I thought it would be a good idea to "sack him out" in a round pen.  Well, the bag that I tied to the horse spooked him so badly that he rushed the round pen, broke several railings, and then he finally broke through it and took off down the road.  I thought I was going to die of embarrassment.

The horse was just fine; he didn't hurt himself, but needless to say I never heard from those clients again.

Answer 6

Its not really funny more embarassing but I was in a medal class at a local hunter show and the round had gone extremely well so far. The only thing left was the first of the inside line rollback to the second of the outside. We had a little argument about where he was going to turn and finally he was like "OK I got it not turn". And he turned. I then fell off. I cant have a dramatic fall over a fence or anything like that. I get to fall off in a roleback that wasnt even hard. We had done way tighter/funkier/faster ones before without a problem. And it was like 4 strides out from the final fence and my first fall off of him.

Answer 7

Well... my first rated show, and as I'm going around the ring with all the other equitation riders, my trainer is standing outside the fence and instead of giving me advice every time I go by, she chortles, along with everyone else in the area. I'm baffled and totally pissed off by the end of the class and I ride up to the fence after lineup and confront her about it. Apparently I had a HUGE hole in the crotch of my breeches, and my bright blue polka-dot underwear was showing through!

I'm still wondering how I placed well, lol.

At least it was my last class! I just wonder how many classes they were ripped for...

EDIT: Dan's retarded. I hope he gets made into glue...

Answer 8

it wasnt funny at the time...for me anyway, everyone else thought it was rotfl funny tho. . .

i was on a pony name sugar... and she was no where sweet as sugar tho. she was an old lesson pony that didnt want to do anything she didnt HAVE to do. well since she was smaller then my pony i asked my trainer if i could use her for the pony club games ralley. . . well we got there and i didnt know anyone on my team (we just changed pony clubs and it was the first time meeting them). . . anyway, most the morning went okay... until the furit basket game. you run down, grab a piece of fruit and run back so your team mates can go. this event was the reason i didnt take my pony, she hated barrels and would not go near them and i cause my team to lose the prevous year.  this year me and the pony flew down to the barrel, got the fruit... and that's where the good part ended... the pony was done half way back and suddenly stopped. i flew over her head and landed in the only muddy spot of the ring from the day before's rain showers. i get back on, my face beat red hearing all the comments from the crowd and my team laughing at my spill.

few years later. . .it was funny.

Answer 9

two years ago,i was showing in the trail class at the state fair. i did my pattern, and it went well, no major boggles, and at the end, we were supposed to dismount, groundtie, and walk all the way around our horse. i came to the cone, dismounted, and dropped my reins on the ground like i was suposed to. then the whole stadium exploded in laughter. i was like "huh? whats so funny about this?" and then i go to walk around my horse, and i realize what they were laughing at... my chaps had broken and were pooled at my ankles. i yelped a bit and snatched them up, then continued to walk around my horse like nothing happened. i turned bright red but i still placed 5th out of 30! haha i thought it was funny, but it might be a "you just gotta be there" moment! =]

EDIT: oh my gosh Beth H that is hilarious! i've had my share of unwanted and inconvientient "visitations", too! omgsh i'm still laughing!! xD

Answer 10

I had come out to the first time to a woman who needed training done with her horse that had previously thrown her.

I got on her horse and rode him around the pen for about an hour.  It was hot out and I could feel myself sweating miserably. So I got off of the horse and went inside for a drink.  I was sitting at her table when I realized something was terribly wrong.  I excused myself, ran to the bathroom and confirmed that the horror was true.  

Aunt Flow had come to visit me when I was on her saddle!!  It got all over her saddle and her dining room chair.  I was mortified!

I told her I had to go, and I don't know if she ever knew about it, but I will never forget that shame on the horse.

Answer 11

i think this is more embaressing than anything but here goes..!

A few years a go i was at horse camp i was

only starting out then and i was put on a big old slow lazy horse.. we got on grand anyway until the second last day when we had our show jumping competition. All the parents wer there and everyone from the camp (about 50). the jumps werent very high about a foot high maybe a little more so nothing major like!!

anyway it was my turn to go started of grand cantered  around up to the first jump over that not a bother then he slowed down to a trot and NOTHING would make him canter i had a whip i kicked and to be honest it al just made him slow down!! it didnt matter to much if we were only trotting because the jumps werent high but when it came down to it he walked out , walked through the jumps pulling everything down,  walked over the jumps anything but actually jumping them... well i tell now i nearly died!!! it was so embaressing!!! needless to say i didnt get a rossete but  every one had a grand bit of entertainment for the short while i lasted!!!

Answer 12

This one didnt happen to me but to my sister.  She was barrel racing this really fast horse named Levi and she was turning the last barrel and we always ride really low to the horse when we are barrel racing so we stop some of the resistance from the air.  When she was coming out of the ring, she started to lift up and when she did, she noticed that she couldnt move cause her bra was caught on the horn.  lol everyone around us saw it and started busting out laughing, she could not get it unstuck.  I would have helped but i was too busy laughing at her.  Despite the embarrassment, she took home first place.

Answer 13

no sorry...

Answer 14

I used this in a question I asked a while back.

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...

For me the most ebarrassing moment came when I was a freshman in high school. I am a rough stock rider(bulls and saddle bronc). I decided that all 5'6 and 160lbs of me(before my growth spirt) was going into bulldogging. I barrowed a friends horse and saddle and I was ready. 'Cuz shucks if I can ride one I can throw one, right? Well I got tips from the old timmers and was in the chute. I dipped my hat and out we came. That ol' horse was perfect and put me right where I needed to be. I baled off the horse and caught the steer just right on the horns. I planted my feet and dug in. Then. That damned steer picked up its head and trotted, TROTTED, accross the arena with me still trying to throw it. When he stopped at the turn out gate I had my chance. I yanked and pulled and twisted with all my might. Just before the 20 sec. time limit I got that steer down. Needless to say I decided to stick with rough stock.

Even after I sprouted to 6' and 200lbs

Answer 15

Years back, one of the regulars at our riding club show had an embarrassing/hilarious accident.

He was very tall and very thin.  He was perched atop the fence by the out-gate (the fence was 6' high , rail and wire) with his boot heels hooked over a board, chatting with another rider.

He was waiting for his W.P. class to be called and had tied his horse (a stallion) to his trailer.   Someone in a new red sports car had driven up and parked near the horse and trailer.

Apparently Mr. Stud didn't like red or sports cars.  He pinned his ears and, looking where he was going, backed up and landed a series of kicks on the right side, front of the car !!

He took out the headlamp, parking lights and a piece of the grill !!

At the sound of breaking glass, somebody hollered at the owner who jumped off the top rail, forgetting to clear the wire

with his heels.  He was hanging upside down, face in the dirt, for a minute or two 'till he was helped loose.  His face was almost as red as his jacket.

He made some arrangement with the owner of the red car, loaded his stallion and left.

Have I mentioned that he had an " I'm so much better than you all" attitude?   Many people enjoyed that poetic justice episode.

Answer 16

well, i don't really have any rotflol stories, but stories that might make you chuckle.

1. my first gaming show ever, we were in our lane and teh pattern was int'l flag. i heard the announcer say that we could go, so i went. really awesome run, clean. when i stopped, everyone was staring at me and i noticed teh other 2 hadn't gone. a girl in line standing next to the fence said that i had to wait until the announcer said we could go. i SWEAR i heard the announcer. so then the announcer let the other 2 go, and then we left teh arena. i was like "oh my gosh! i swear i heard her! i would've had a 12.342!" yeah, REAL fast. psh.

2. me and a friend went out on a trail ride. she'd ridden before, actually just got back from a riding camp. extremely beginner though, but able to lope. we started loping, lucy, the horse she was riding, would start then not go. so we decided to head back and ride in the arena. when we got there, my friend started talking to another boarder, saying "lucy is so dumb, when i asked her to canter, she would trot, and when i asked her lope, she would canter!" i was just laughing my butt off at her in my mind. i was like, just shut up, don't make a fool of yourself any longer!!!

3. i was at a show with teak, and she decided to get down and roll. when my feet touched the ground, i jumped off, and let her roll. i was like 10, i didn't know what to do! thankfully it was during a clinic, and the trainer runs over and yanks teak back up. she told me it was alright, and that last year 2 horses did that within the hour.

4. i was at a show last summer, and we were doing 1/2 8. i got really excited to go, so when we could go, i let chrome loose. we ran down, and i realized that i started on the wrong side. so i'm like 'c**p! oh well, too late now, i'll just continue the pattern, we can still get it clean if we don't knock anything down.' so right when we turned in between the 2 poles, i went flying. i never left chrome's body for my left leg was still draped over my saddle. i tried to get back on but i couldn't so i just slipped off. man was my pride hurt. it was kinda ironic though, because 2 people had fallen off before i ran in the same exact lane i was in. no one really wanted to run in lane 1 because 3 people had already fallen off in it.

5. chrome likes to play a little game called "extremely hard to catch." she bucks, rears, tears up the grass, everything. it takes me like 5 minutes just to be able to walk up to her. it drives me nuts. i need to take a video of it sometime. she does this especially after i let her loose after being sprayed with water from the hose.

Answer 17

Last summer a group of us were out on an equitrekking excursion and riding cross country.

It was a group of 6. The guide, a couple from Germany, a teenage girl, myself and an American man.

The American man (AM) had made a big point of all his experience and his fine horses at home blah blah blah..

Our guide was an excellent rider and a former show jumper rider with a seat like glue.

So off we go through some pretty rough terrain. Galloping cross country is an exhilarating experience and you must be able to space yourself so that riders can approach obstacles with enough room to navigate, because you never know what will happen. You just can't ride like a swarm of gnats.

For the first couple fields, we did hedge rows without incident.

Then we come upon a ditch. Fairly wide and we did have a few refusals including the AM. He insisted that his horse jump it and turned back to make another attempt.

His horse canters to the approach with ears up and this man doesn't have a very strong seat. At the take off point, the horse slams on the brakes and AM is launched airborne, head first into the ditch which is filled with mud and slop.

His horse stood there with out moving, stretched her neck out to look in the ditch at him covered in mud....and she knickers through her nose at him like shes laughing at him...nnnnnnnnn!

After AM extracts himself from that, we proceed to a river crossing. Our guide explains that the river is fast and deep and there are only certain places where you can cross. We must follow him in a straight line without deviation.

The guide goes first and everyone else follows in the straight line as instructed...except for AM. Who now needs to one up himself after the embarrassing ditch incident.

The 5 of us have crossed and are waiting on the opposite bank. AM urges his horse into the water, but after a few strides discovers that he is not in the area where the rest of us crossed. His horse is in water chest high. Takes another step and suddenly is in deep water up to her neck. AM comes off and the guide is yelling to grab mane!! There was all this thrashing and churing of water (this was AM- the horse was fine) so he holds on and the horse swims for the shore.

Now they have both made it to the shore and while AM stands there dripping wet, ranting, all tack completely soaked, ( but now mud free!) his horse begins to shake off water hitting him in the head with a flying stirrup adding insult to injury.  

He never finished the ride. The guide called the yard to come and take them both back...I felt sorry for him, but it was funny!

Answer 18

dan the man why are you in the horse questions if you hate them?? DUH DER!....anywhom.....this story i learned a lesson from.....well one day, just a normal hot summer day, it was about 7:00 p.m. so almost dark out and my mom kept telling me to go feed the horses, i kept putting it off saying i would do it in a sec, well, around 7:30 i trudged up there and of course there was no lights in the barn at the time (we just finished building it)so i reach my hand in the horse feed i got some out of one bag and went to the next i reached in and felt something furry,i instantly screamed and ran, well later my mom came and helped me feed the horses the rest of the way with a flsh light and she shined it in the bag and there was a possum! OMG, i was sooo scared, but luckily we just took the bag and drove it down the road and let him go, then burned the feed (so the horses don't get EPM)....i learned to feed the horses when my mom tells my to... [[before dark =D]]
