Riding horses isn’t always pretty or all that safe for that matter. Even the best horses can sometimes do the most unexpected things and turn us into human projectiles. This is why even the most skilled jockeys should wear helmets…    

  Foals can be super sassy little creatures. From giving their mothers grief to terrorizing their human owners. However, this miniature foal appears to have a seriously extra attitude.    

  Some horses are born natural jumpers and others not so much. This horse clearly does not want to touch a rail but his style is quite original…    

  “When in doubt, leave it out,” is a common saying in the horse world that refers to leaving out strides when you don’t see a distance. This might not be a wise saying to live by but if you have a horse with lots of scope, why not…    

  For years, riders have been using wooden and plastic mounting blocks to get on their horses. But why? Clearly, mini trampolines are the more logical choice…    

  Many equestrians are young at heart. Even though you might be pushing middle-aged you are still that horse crazy kid deep down. So when someone implies that you are not acting adulty enough its time to show them just who you really are…    

  Dressage tests rarely go to plan thanks to our horses’ unique opinions, ideas and improv movements. However, post-dressage test interviews from top riders are usually a bit dull no matter how their tests go. But Karim Florent Laghouag (FRA) didn’t disappoint in his interview after riding Entebbe du Hus to a 28.9 in the Chatsworth Event Rider Master Series CIC3*. Would you agree this is greatest post-dressage intreview you’ve ever seen?    

  We have all suffered through some fairly horrendous dressage tests. Perhaps your horse was spooking non-stop, maybe you forgot your test, perhaps the weather was nearly unbearable and the list of bad situations goes on. But I don’t think you have ever felt the wrath of the Dressage Gods quite like this…    

  There are quite a few equestrians who love to describe the rail they knocked down in show jumping as ‘unlucky’. But usually it was just a case of rider error. This however, is a REAL unlucky rail…     Omg has this ever happened to you??!! It’s happened to me and sunshine before and she had s huge paddy after it like it was my fault 😂😂😂 Just to let everyone know I’m doing an account giveaway at the moment and would love if you can follow the account @equine_Fails_2018account !! Hopefully I’ll be able to get it to…

  If you have ever taken a horse to its very first show you are well aware of the horrors that can ensue. Hopefully, you have some stickability, luck and a trusty friend to video the ordeal…     Valentino's first horse show: #badbaby A post shared by New England Equestrians (@ne.equestrians) on May 6, 2018 at 3:12pm PDT
