Haha funny story?

anyone have funny horse stories? heres mine i have been riding for as long as i can remember and there is this trail riding place about 5mins from my house i know the owner very well. anyways the owner asked me if i wanted to ride his new horse i said okay i have ridden him before in the arena but never on a trail. i have blood issues that cause me to get dizzy if i dont take them sometimes i faint. anyways the morning of the trail ride i was soo exited i fergot my meds and i couldnt find my riding boots. i finally get to the trail and i start feeling dizzy but i brush it off then out of no where some crazy squirrel jumped right in front of my horse and my hoprse wen nuts. whyle he was freaking out i faint! later on at the hospital i was told i had a broken shoulder and a broken leg. i was told that i somehow managed to crawl back on a 16hh horse. (i dont remember getting back on )








anyways 5 weeks and 2 surgeries later i went back and rode him again but we kept it at a walk :)

Haha funny story?
O.K. way back in maybe the 70%26#039;s I visited the U.K. I was by myself and had rented a car and took the ferry over to Ireland..I was there one day and a truck driver stopped on the road and backed up his truck, right into the front of my rented car...grrrr....I will not go into those details, but i had to get my car fixed there, and had nothing to do. I asked the garage person if there was a stable nearby where I could rent a horse...he showed me where to walk and I did...and I knocked on the door, and she said yes but if i waited for a half hours or so I could have some company. O.K. I did that, so everyone is getting their horses that are suited to them, and I was asked how much I rode...%26quot; I have my own horses, ride regularly etc etc%26#039; I said...ok they give me this little 14.2 pony which is normal size over there i guess...and a little English saddle...I got to get on...give a big leap and I miss the saddle and end up on the ponys but...oh how embarrasing, lol...well she says, I guess you are used to bigger horse and a bigger saddle...they all had their laugh at the North American cow horse person....lol
Reply:That isn%26#039;t too funny. It sounds scary.





I was jumping a green horse for someone once. He flipped over the fence and landed on top of me. Apparently I got up, walked him back to the barn and untacked him. My friends said after I cleaned the horse up, I couldn%26#039;t remember who I was or what happened.





I didn%26#039;t have any injuries, I just lost two years of memory. Horse accidents are really freakish and scary- feel better soon.
Reply:That%26#039;s not a funny story at all.
Reply:My horse spencer loves pepsi and rise crispy treats. And he nods his head up and down when i ask is he is a good boy and he gets a sip of pepsi. One day i didn%26#039;t give him any pepsi and i rose him... and he was slow and acting up... but afterwards i gave him a can of diet pepsi and then rode him a bit and jump some crossrails and stuff and it was the best ride i have ever had!!!!
Reply:I think every horse story is more scary than funny..





Once I was run over by my friends horse. Stupid me, I walked away from him in front of him. He was lead stallion of her horses and all of the horses had gone to the front field except him. So I went to catch my horse and apparently he wanted to go too. He took off running and I turned around in time to see him running right at me. He cought my left side with his chest and took me right off my feet. I guess he sort of ran/jumped over. Thankfully, I only ended up with minor injuries (I was still able to ride later that day.)





One of my own horses broke my nose with the back of his head. We were out on the trail, and he was a greenie. I always trained him on the trail because he was more behaved there than in the arena. We were doing very well, so I asked him to lope down a flat straight. He did, with a little encouragement. We stopped and turned around. I asked him for a lope the other way, and he didn%26#039;t want to. I kicked him, and he wasn%26#039;t very thrilled. He started flipping out. First it was a few strong crow hops. Then he got a good buck in that pitched me forward. Then he got his front end up, while I was still forward. Crack. The back of his head and my face. Of course, I wasn%26#039;t wearing a helmet. I managed to stay on and ride back home. Again, only minor injuries. Bone bruise on the inside of my thigh from my saddle and a broken nose.





Always wear a helmet and pay attention.
Reply:To prevnt that dizzy-fainting-spell again, you should bring a bag with a few pieces of the medicene you need to take... that way even if you forget to take it at home, you can take it there, Although i have never ridden a horse that story is pretty funny.
Reply:Here is a horse story that I will share:





This was a time that I remember so clearly...like it was yesterday. ...





I was in the barn setting up the feed cart. We were just starting to use a new sweet feed that I was dumping from the bag into the bin in the cart.


I couldn%26#039;t help but notice that it smelled sooo good!


Out of curiosity, I picked out a couple of pellets to examine in my hand.


I looked closely.


Its only ground up grain with molasses right?


Couldn%26#039;t hurt to try it. The horses eat it....





So I popped them in my mouth....chew....chew...chewww..


Hummm ... ok ...grainy....gritty .....but kinda sweet.





With my curiosity settled, I proceeded down the isle to the hay storage area to pick up a bale to begin dishing out dinner.





I heard someone walk in the barn behind me, so I turned to see who it was and say hi.





It was Dean, one of the boarders ... and the cutest guy ever!!!





We all had a huge crush on him.


Dean could ride, looked good in jeans, had a great smile and was just an all around nice guy with a really nice horse.


We all wanted to go out with him....So anyway, I flash Dean my biggest, brightest smile and say HI!


Dean looks at me, opens his mouth to say something, but doesn%26#039;t and just keeps walking.


He never even broke stride, but turned at the waist still looking... never said a word.


Which was not like him, because he was usually so friendly.





I fed the horses and pretty much forgot about it.





Afterwards, I went into the bathroom to wash up before leaving. A quick look in the mirror clinched it.





My teeth were covered with little pieces of feed pellets held in place with sticky black molasses.
Reply:hmm... ok, well, I have a horse named Mighty Mouse who is a paint/arabian cross. He is SOOO funny and he loves to play pranks. One day I had put him in cross ties and had my helmet on the ground next to him. I went around the corner to go get some brushes and when I come back I see my helmet is in one of the nearby stalls. Ok, so I grabbed my helmet, dumped out all the shavings, and put it in the same place, then I groomed Mighty and went to get his saddle/pad. When I come back my helmet is in the stall AGAIN so I dump out the shavings and put it once again in the same place. I tack up Mighty and go back into the tack room to get his bridal, but before I grab the bridal I watch Mighty. As soon as he saw me leave he picked up the helmet with his teeth and started throwing his head around. After a few seconds of this he let go and if flew into a nearby open stall. Mystery Solved! I dont know if you find this funny, but it was at the time. :D
