Wild Rides

[kckatt]

one time when i was riding the horse behind me spooked and bucked. the horse i was riding jolted and caught me off guard :eek: ; i was hanging half way off the horse.
i never fell off but it was one wild ride!

[JanesEyes]

ahhh! i would have freaked out...ima nervous rider and i wouldnt have been able to handle that...

[kckatt]

well after a month or 2 i fell off 4 real and i sprang my ankle.
all my friends say it cant get much more exciting than that. :o

[kckatt]

what r some of yalls "Wild rides"?

[JanesEyes]

i (fortunatly) never fell off, hope that it doesnt change. heck, i only ride every couple of months for about 20 minutes, but hey. i have sopme pretty interesting stories from the ground, but so fat thats about it!

[PoniPink]

Haha!!! ive fallen off like 50 times... but hey.. you know wut they say... you are only a true rider if youve fallen off!!! but every one does at lkeast one hundred times in there career (AT LEAST) but people say that i can stick a buck really really really good!

[timmy2 and zepo]

HEY! I FALLEN OF SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many times i can not count!!!! like more then 70!!!!!!(or less)

[theprancingpony]

oh jeez, i used to keep track of all the times i've fallen off. of course, i've lost track after 8 years!

most recently i was riding my mare (keep in mind i haven't ridden consistantly in a while) and my dogs started freaking out and i *think* one of my dogs started snapping at her heels, and she LOST it man. whoo! so there was bucking and stuff, and i fell (i never get hurt when i fall, though... knock on wood) and she ran off but we got her.

the worst time i fell off was when i fell on a jump, that hurt. and a few times i've had the wind knocked out of me.

what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger!!! :rolleyes:

theres this one morgan mare at my barn who was suposed to be my trainer's son's walk trot horse. She was gonna let me show her to in jr exhib. classes so we were trying to get her to canter and boy is that a challenge! she bucks and rears and hops side ways all the way back to the gate. she can just be jogging along and all of a sudden rears and spins around and throws a fit till shes back to the gate. somethings not right w/ that mare and shes going back to where she came from! not a good walk trot horse! :eek:

[dubbyroxsoxs95]

I have fallen of lots 2!! Wow, we must all be twins! Just kidding. I was riding my pony b4 Wine Country, and my pony went around the jump and I flipped over his head, then flew back into the saddle. We were like, dang, I wish I had a video camera!!!! It was funn!! I am a little dare devil!!! :p

[PeppiPoni]

I have fallen off soo many times on my old pony Paul! He would skid at the jumps! The worst time I fell off was on Happy and I feel onto a pole and my back was bleeding! Ouch! And one time i was in a gymnastic and Batman freaked and popped up over the jump and i landed on his kidneys and he started bucking really bad and i fell!:) I dont even want to know how many times I have fallen off!

[Timezawastin']

Yah, I have fallen off so many times 2! On some of the easiest ponies to ride!! I remember one time... I think I was about 5??? My pony walked over a fence and I fell off! Also, one time when my pony spooked, he ran off with me, and i was literally hanging on for dear life!!!!! :eek: I was screaming my head off too!!!!! He kept galloping about 7 times around the ring. I was on Paul when all of this happenned! ( I bought hiim from PeppiPony)

[timmy2 and zepo]

yup! peppiponi told me like 1,ooo times about that in your guys lesson!!!lol

I have never fallen off a horse or pony ever! I am not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing. Well, you know they say, "You are never a true rider until you fall off.", or something like that. I guess I am not a true rider. I am right now jumping 2'6", and sometimes 2'9". My trainer says I will start jumping higher now, I can't wait until I fall off a 3'0" fence!!!! Yay!!! lol!

Ya, I hope to jump high in our lesson on Tuesday with you and timmy2 and zepo. I want to jump 3'0" soo bad!!!! Ann says I will start to jumper higher. So I hope we will!!!! lol! I know Belle can jump that high, so we really can!!!!!

[PeppiPoni]

I thought Belle could barely clear 3'. Oh well! Hope New York goes great! Have FUN!

The stragest ride I ever had was exactly a week. I was riding a pony called amy, we had just finished galloping down a straight in the forest and a massive snake slithered straight in front of us! Amy was fine she wasn't bothered, I just said " Ewwwww a snake! " The woman who I was with was laughing and I was horrified! :eek:

[Natty-Loves-Horses]

Yeah, i no wat u mean bout wild rides!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've had some prettlywild rides like the time my horse (who has a phobia of dogs) was attaked by a barking thing that tried to bite her hocks. She bucked for all she was worth!!!!! then again, some great things make up for the not so great things, dont they?

[HappyHorse13]

My wildest ride was when I was riding this horse named Cowboy. Big horse! He was around 16.1/16.2 hh and to me that is TALL!
Well it turns out he stomped his hoof and dirt flew by his eye and he spooked himself :eek: He did two little bucks and then trotted in circles. I was leaning over the saddle a little too far for comfort, and then I told myself, "You idiot get back in the saddle!" So I didn't fall but it felt like I was leaning off a ledge of a hundred foot tower.
I still love Cowboy, though. But I'm kind of nervous about riding now because of the little episode. I'm getting better about.
You guys are dare-devils!

[timmy2 and zepo]

wow! must have been very scary! ya i guess we could be callled dare devils or we could just well LOVE THE SPORT! LOL

[HappyHorse13]

Well at least I know now what a bungie-jumper feels like right before they do a jump. lol!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe I'll ride Cowboy again, he is such a sweetie! He is for sale and I wish I could buy him, if I was a more experienced rider.
On his stall door there's and ad placing him for sale that says:
Great kids horse for all ages.

When pigs fly! But Cowboy is a really nice horse, though.

I've never really had a wild ride. I had a really quiet 15.3hh Appendix and the only time I ever fell off of him is when he tripped while cantering and fell down. I flew over his head and my knee was hurt quite badly.

I've also fallen off horses that were standing still.

and I fell off my current lesson pony when we were cantering and the saddle slid to the side and I just couldn't stay on, it was funny.

Not much "wildness" going on here >_>

[Natty-Loves-Horses]

WOW!!! you all sound like you've had some...fun!!! At least we're all alive to tell the tale i suppose...knock wood...lol...

[RoadtoRio]

[SIZE=1]I've fallen off lots of times.

One time I was coming to an oxer ( jump ) and my horse jumped way before I was going to tell him to, and slid on his belly at the other side of it for like... a ways, then jumped into the air and bolted, luckily I managed to stay on. But I got off, because my horse was spazzing and I didnt want him to get hurt. He-he x)
