The moment your stomach falls through your very butt. Although, when people ask what scares you the most, it's not death: it's the prospect of sustaining an injury so bad it would prevent you from riding for the rest of your life. No time to lay about in the mud - up you go again!
1. When You Have The Perfect Ride, And No One Is Around To See It
The ultimate anticlimax: having a flawless course and there's not a soul in sight to marvel at your god-like equestrianism. Even worse than that is when a schooling round goes faultlessly, and then it gets to your show round and you go and do something stupid in front of the judge... and then knock the last rail for the cherry on top. So, do any of these problems really stirrup your emotions? Get it? Get it? Okay, we apologise... for horsing around. Sorry we really will stop now. Feel free to share your equestrian-related problems in the comments below!
