Today, I was putting my horse away into her pasture, when I slipped in the mud. In a haisty attempt to support myself, I grabbed the electric fence in on hand, and my horse with the other. The shock from the fence traveled through me to her, sending her running and leaving me with 2 broken teeth. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, while letting horses out to switch pasture, one ran at me, sending me through the electric fence and into a mud puddle. Wrapped in electric fence, I sat in that electric mud puddle, screaming every time it shocked me. Help arrived, once they'd had a good long laugh. FML
Today, I broke my wrist when I got into a disagreement with a horse. FML
Today, I was leaning over a fence in a pasture to get a closer look at something. Nobody warned my nuts that it was an electric fence. FML
Today, our electric horse fence broke. I turned it off so I could fix it. As I was grabbing the fence, my brother thought it would be hilarious to turn the fence back on. FML
Today, while riding a massive draft horse, the horse thought it would be fun to walk under a very low apple tree that sat level with his back. A branch hit me and made me fall off onto a coil of barbed wire, twisting my ankle in the process. FML
Today, I was riding a new horse when a lawnmower starting up spooked her. She jumped straight up in the air and I landed directly on the saddle horn. I can't walk or feel anything between my legs. FML
Today, I was riding my bike to the local grocery store to pick up some supplies for dinner. On the way down, traveling down a hill, I hit a drain with no lid. I went to grab hold of the nearest object to soften my fall. That nearest object was a barbed wire fence. FML
Today, my dogs broke through our electric fence, one of whom managed to get his collar off. I picked it up and, without thinking, went across the fence line. I screamed like a chihuahua being run over by a bulldozer. FML
Today, I was sitting on a fence watching a friend play soccer. He accidentally kicked the ball at my face and made me fall off the fence into mud. I laughed it off and got back on the fence. Two seconds later he did the same exact thing. I fell wrong and slammed my face into the fence. Pain. FML
Today, my idiot horse decided to grab a mouthful of stinging nettles while I was riding him. He panicked at the burning sensation in his mouth and bucked me off. Don't worry, though, my fall was cushioned, by the nettles. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I've done that before (minus the broken teeth). And anybody who is ignorant enough to think that electric fences are cruel, think again. They prevent the horses from ploughing through the wooden fence which often causes serious and sometimes fatal damage. The electric fence is only a small shock (like a static shock) and they rarely touch it. It protects them from serious injury. Accidents happen people, chill out.

That's a pretty major FYL. Electrocuted and kicked in the teeth by a horse. And probably muddied. Ouch =(

I'm pretty sure that the shock wouldn't travel through you to your horse. Maybe it ran away because you startled it.

Oh, no, it most certainly can. I've done the same thing. Try it sometime, it's freaky. LOL

OMG! I have totally done this... I went out riding my horse with a friend and my dad said that the electric fence was turned off because there were no cows in the pasture. I got off my horse and was still touching him and i bumped into the fence.. Yeah the current went through me and right into my horse... Turns out they dont like that too much... it took me 15 mins to just get him calm enough for me to get on him.. so i defintly know where you are coming from!

I am absolutely shocked by the number of people on here who don't have a basic grasp of how electricity works. Yes, it would travel from her to the horse; no, it would not stop her heart.

Sorry, all I heard was "I have a horse." No one has a f-able life if they can afford an f-ing horse.

Wow, really? Just because a person happens to own a horse (she might live on a ranch and her parents make a living off of it or something similar) then NOTHING bad EVER happens to them. You're an idiot. Seriously, I have a horse and they aren't that outrageously expensive.

Agreed! Having horses gives a LOT of room for FML's... It's basically a huge accident waiting to happen.
