It could be a wildlife sighting or a 'near miss' or just a ride that thrilled you for some reason. Please, don't tell me about tragedies, I just want some nice, fun stories!

i went on a 4 hour trail ride in kentucky with my dad and also horse loving friend and horse that doesnt like water+water= me and the horse SOARING over the water. not just a little jump. i mean running start down a hill of mud and then all his strength into going over the water without touching it. the funny thing is, the creek was, i dont know, 2 feet across? lol not that big of a deal! to walk across! so instead we were in the air for like 4 feet across. lol

so its not like ahh he jumped its like WHOA that was AMAZING. lol

cant call this a tragedy...it was quite funny, on a trail one day one of the riders horses got stuck in the marshes, wouldnt budge, we all had to get off our horses and pull the poor horse out with the rider on its back totally hysterical abt getting off the horse. :)

Try riding out on the trail with a bunch of inexperienced camp kids and at the furthest possible place from the barn have one of the horses step on a large hornet鈥檚 nest! Oh the fun! And screaming! And horses running and bucking wildly through the woods!

Ahh! Those were the days! :0)

One time I was riding my mare and she was being stubborn, so I made her keep cantering and she tripped and caught herself weird. The way she moved made the billets break and it wasn't until I had stopped her to figure out what the jingling noise was that I realized I had been cantering and trotting with nothing keeping the saddle in place. It was a little scary, but also awesome because I realized it was a miracle I didn't fall, and my balance kept me on the horse.

Was on a week long pack trip into a wilderness area in Colorado. Most of the riders went off to fish and one person stayed back to watch the horses. Long story shortened two of the horses got away, they were hobbled, but we couldn't find them. We had to leave all of our stuff cached for later pickup and ride out on the remaining horses. A week later both horses were located in the area where we had started our ride, better than thirty miles from where they got away. Best part, they were OK, no damage except broken hobbles.

It was my first show. I was nervous and hadn't eaten much all day. I'm standing there with my horse and started to get dizzy. Well, I fainted. I had time to get out, "Dad, I think I'm gonna faint" and down I went. Got a ribbon in my first class, though! Maybe it was good luck ;-)
