So come on, whats been your best, worst and noteable moments of 2012 and why. And if you can, provide photographic evidence :wink:
Best - Riding at the grass sickness show in June and getting fourth for our troubles. I think this experience helped boost my confidence no end as it helped me realise that Flipo isn't as unpredictable or silly as I thought and we can make it!
Worst - When he jumped the gate in July and ended up with a haematoma. Scared the crap out of me seeing such a huge horse attempt cross country and then fall over.
Noteable -
1. Flipo taught me to wait while he pees (just cause this photo always makes me laugh!)
2. The bugger then stood on my foot a few days ago and I'm still suffering.
and finally....
I ONLY FELL OFF ONCE THIS YEAR!! woohoo!!:bounce:
(and thankfully don't have a photo to show for that one!) ETA for anyone who didn't hear about the story, I was feeling quite nervous and had a dicky tummy, was just getting on Flipo and accidentally farted as I swung my leg over. Flipo is nervy to mount sometimes and panicked, bolted off and I was deposited in some nettles. Yep, he spooks at my farts, but its ok for him to let one rip every two seconds!!
So come on, join in. Highs lows, and most noteable of 2012. :happy:
