It looks as if "gymkhana" is misspelled "gimkhana" on the sign; 2. the guy riding hte jumper is wearing a cap and not a helmet; 3. the legs on the cantering horse look as if they are in the wrong formation for the gait; 4. the posts and rails in the foreground of the fence toward the right side of picture look as if they're set up wrong--aren't those rails kind of floating in space next to the post?--5. the flags are flying in different directions as if different winds are blowing; 6. the carriage horse looks as if it is wearing a racing hood; 7. I think the sidesaddle lady is sitting wrong way round with legs on off side of horse.<br /><br />And nowadays the gal grooming her horse would be wrong for not wearing her helmet while working around a horse.Christina Wilsdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02472802098557216513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8782167599693788794.post-27184804614990296372010-10-22T13:47:27.376+01:002010-10-22T13:47:27.376+01:00The picture is a little small but here goes:
Girl ...The picture is a little small but here goes:<br />Girl in foreground has a) let her reins drop, horse has them round its leg; b) is using currycomb to brush horse; c) done something odd with badage on horse's front leg (can't see as pic a bit small) d) left her tack lying about on ground where it could be trodden on.<br />Boy on pony a) has his number on upside down; b) is using his pony as a grandstand.<br />Driving man a) is using both hands on reins (I think 'coachman style' should be one hand on reins, other hand holds whip); b) has forgotten half the harness as horse has no breeching.<br />Horse jumping a) is wearing blinkered bridle; b) is jumping the fence the wrong way round.<br />Cantering rider has forgotten his saddle!<br />Person leading rugged horse is leading from the 'wrong' side (this used to be a fearful sin, apparently).<br />Person mounting has wrong foot in stirrup and will end up facing horse's tail.<br />Car & trailer leaving showground have not put up back door/ramp.Sue Howesnoreply@blogger.com
