Epic Save!

Wow. Just...wow.

Nope...

Last minute nope! I don't think the rider messed up too much.

Been there...

...and well sat ;).

Apparently...

...this Percheron (I think) didn't get the "Draft horses are quiet and bombproof memo".

His rider didn't get the "you should wear a helmet" memo. Those were big hooves far too close to his unprotected head.

Even...

...top showjumpers just say "no" sometimes. Not quite sure why that horse wasn't up to the big wall, but he also wasn't up to being caught afterwards...

Here's what...

...not to do when your horse gets edgy in a parade. I hope the horse wasn't hurt. I don't care too much about the cowboy.

Too True!

The types of equestrian - I've met all of them at some point!

Oh for...

...please stop. Let's get on a donkey that's far too small (It's no bigger than their dog) while wearing only a bikini.

I was rooting for it to kick her.

Always...

...embarrassing.

They're looking so good, but you can tell the horse is getting strong and "building." Then...

Yes, not only did they jump out of the ring...they jumped back in!

I'm...

...really not sure about this.

Patient driver lets the little guy work out that it's safe, and on the second attempt, through they go!

Oh dear...

...well, at least she knows the horse can jump. (I think this is a bit too big an area to be doing liberty work in, but I'm suspecting it's all she has).

Awww....

He's jumping his own height!

Thing is, that isn't actually hard...

Oh dear...

...another jumping fail. Tighten your helmet strap!

Dang...

...I want to ride this trail. Although I think I might prefer one of the longer eared mounts!
