‘Oh Crap’ Monday

Monday is the crappiest day of the week, so it only makes sense that we make things official. Here’s our latest batch of reader-submitted photos!

Lynn Howland: “I have no idea how he did this.”

Jamie Hood: “Me at my last jump on the Beginner Novice cross country course at Loch Moy! My horse, Charade, jumped it from a stagger step, almost refusing then deciding not to! I came all the way off and on the left side then jumped, remounted and carried on.”

Emma Drane: “Xpress Foto captured this at the Ocala Winter II Horse Trials, Novice division. We ended up in align and I only had to trot to regain my stirrups and we galloped on to double clear XC. He’s a saint for staying straight and with me! Don’t worry — I remembered to GIVE and stay with him!”

Lisa Endress: “It’s been raining for weeks in Northern VA, so the footing was less then optimal for yesterday’s show. My pony, Finch, decided she’d rather not participate and dumped me in a puddle in the middle of an oxer. Yuck!”
