Most embarrassing thing your horsey or non horsey parents have said, at the wrong time?

hahah too many to count!

there was one time that my cinch snapped in the middle of a western pleasure class... nobody noticed ( i was in the corner ) and my mom screams "OMG, RIDER DOWN!" haha, i was perfectly fine and watching my mom, my trainer, and a couple friends freak out was totally embarrassing, but funny.

or the time that my dad bribed the announcer (who was also a friend of the family) to announce my horse as "Mongolian Wild A$$" (we brought my brother to the zoo and there were stuffed mongolian wild a$$es that were the same coloring of my gelding...) haha. that was funny, yet embarrassing.

hahah and the best one yet (this isn't a parent one, but still) two good friends of mine (Conner and Matt) came to watch me ride at a pretty big show. now, they weren't exactly familiar with show etiquette, and when i walked into the ring they both screamed as loud as they could "GO MICKI! GO MICKI! YEAH, GO MICKI! I LOVE YOU, MICKI! WHOOHOO! SHOW 'EM WHAT'S WHAT AND WHO'S BOSSSSS!" then, realizing the awkward stares, and me on the rail trying extremely hard not to laugh and shaking my head, they got awkwardly quiet. it was an english equitation class (my favorite and what i'm best at) and i placed first place. after the announcer announced my name, Matt took it upon himself to scream "YEAH! THATS WHAT CHEERING AT HORSE SHOWS GETS YA! YEAH! WHOOOT WHOOOT!" best moment ever, but so embarrassing.

Not really something they said but did....

When I first got my horse (a chestnut mare) she was put out in this one paddock most of the time. I had brought her in though to get ready for my lesson. My mom in the meantime arrived (I had asked her to take a few pictures for me for my new horse). She saw a different gelding in the paddock (a darker chestnut), but despite seeing my horse a few times already she saw a "brown" horse and proceeded to take half a roll of film of it. So I ended up with almost 20 pictures of this random other horse from my barn.

Both my parents were always supportive though, so can't really do anything but laugh it off.

I really don't have anything to add, Jess, but to say the oldies are always the masters of timing! Coolmore no less, huh? No wonder you couldn't smuggle Choisir out for me.

Please excuse me whilst I p!ss myself laughing......

Lol I was in a horse show. My trainer was yelling at me saying make him go faster your too slow. So then my dad stood in the crowd dancing around saying " Ya whip him! Whip him good! Yeeehaw!!!" The judge then looked at me and made a mark on her sheet.

Everyone afterwords came to me and asked "Was that your dad?" It was SO embarrassing but really funny.

you does no longer believe how many cases my older brother has pronounced that "driving a horse is merely the pony doing all the artwork" or "driving isnt a game or workout!". extremely? Then why do my legs harm if I experience for an prolonged time and why do I come domicile sweaty? that's no longer the pony's sweat, i'm going to tell you that! superb now i'm going interior the path of the technique to hire a horse and didnt understand how no longer horsey my mothers and fathers have been. they gained't enable me refer to every person and demand on calling them themselves, yet they are constantly asking me what the suitable words for issues are. My ideal buddy needs a horse yet she has under no circumstances ridden one till now. She asked me if i could defend her horse for her. It develop into extremely problematical to no longer say, "LIKE HELL i will!" to her. She under no circumstances have been given one. yet another of my ideal friends asked me if horseback driving is exciting. I rolled my eyes and pronounced "No, I do it through fact that's uninteresting as hell." i develop into chatting with 2 guy friends of mine approximately my dream to reproduce Appaloosas. Neither of them had any clue what they have been. I additionally pronounced that I used to have a neighbor who develop into rich from breeding Arabians, and one's eyes have been given super and he yelled "THE human beings?!" I pronounced yeah, he runs a prostitution operation. They knew i develop into joking, thank the lord. the different pronounced "Why did no longer you merely say horses? that's no longer like it makes a difference." Umm... Yeah it does. there's a super difference between Shetland ponies, Arabians, and Clydesdales.
