OK! I guess you've foud out that riding lessons can bring out some people's creative sides! This is an excerpt for Horse and Rider Magazine, with the top ten excuses given to a riding instructor!
- For not keeping you chest elevated: "At my age, this is as high as they get!"
- For leaning to one side: "I'm perfectly straight, it's the earth that's crooked."
- For riding sloppily: "I'm really tired. My pet ferrets kept me awake all night!"
- For not doing barn chores: "I had to take care of my Tamagotchi."
- For looking stiff in the saddle: "It's not my fault my pants are too tight."
- For not following instructions: "A little voice inside my head keeps distracting me."
- For not circling a barrel: " "There's a mouse in there. My pony is afraid of mice."
- For not paying attention: "I cant think because my hair is pulled too tight."
- For going over a jump that hte instructor is sitting on: "I didn't see you there."
- For getting boxed in during a rail class: "My horse won't go in front of other horses, he's embarassed becasue he thinks his butt is too big!"
