ZBHBH: Everyday Fail

On July 23, 2015 By firnhydeIn Blog Hops and Randomness

For me, this title can probably be changed to “Fail Every Day”, but I digress…

I failed to see a distance. Magic failed to see a height.

Never mind the solid oxer! Photographers are TERRIFYING

How not to dressage. (Proof that Arwen is a saint. Don't worry, we don't do this thing anymore). — How not to dressage. (Proof that Arwen is a saint. Don’t worry, we don’t do this thing anymore).

Mane eating. Third photo from this show that demonstrates epic failure, but really, this was the awesomest show ever.

Down banks: Where horses go horizontally forwards and riders go horizontally backwards.

How not to calm down a panicking baby horse

I realise I failed at remembering the halt at the start of Prelim 3. Reed fails to stretch in his stretchy trot.

That time I paid lots of money and called in lots of favours for a lesson with an international dressage instructor and then we shied at baboons for an hour.

I love this blog hop! This must be hands down the funniest one hosted… and it’s given me an idea that may just have to become Riding on Water’s first blog hop.

Praise God for the horses that keep the best of us humble.

I don’t care if there were boo-boos. I love those photos – they make my heart sing. Job 39:19 certainly had it so right, “Hast thou given the horse his strength? Hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?” I get goosebumps just reading that 🙂

  Hahaha thanks! Yes, you rather expect crocodiles to jump out at you, don’t you? This is Africa after all! Luckily Arwen did not have these thoughts!

To be fair, I ALSO spent a fair bit of time shying at baboons when I lived in Kenya, so I feel like that is a little justified…. 😉
