“Here we go again….”
Thanks for all your participation and help with the caption contest from yesterday’s unfinished animated gif.
Before the winner is announced, here’s a screencap from the Hood Academy DVD extras:

How many times has Richard Armitage ridden a horse for his roles?
Here is your animated gif with the caption:
The caption idea came from Elaine, who has a photography blog: http://www.ascattering.blogspot.com/. Thanks very much, Elaine!
This was another tough contest. Please keep trying. If Elaine was out sick, you might’ve won, LOL! 😉
I have a number of ideas for the coming week but limited time currently so let’s see how it goes. Remember there will be a challenge in February with a Valentine’s Day fan video. 🙂 ♥

LOL, love the caption on the gif! Thank you, Elaine! Thank you, Bccmee!
Meant to say, love the pic from the Hood Academy!
@Carolyn: Thanks very much for your comment! And yes, it’s a lovely picture of Richard Armitage from Hood Academy. ♥
What IS the Hood Academy?
@IntownWriter: The Hood Academy was a 2-week training session at the beginning of filming the Robin Hood series. It was filmed as part of the DVD extras. You can see screencaps here: http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/RobinHood/album/HoodAcademy/index.html. 😀
Thanks ‘B’! I think this gif is hilarious even when it was was without text. There were so many great suggestions, thanks for your interpretation of my idea.
I hope that, by the time The Hobbit appears on DVD, Peter Jackson will have decided to include a special feature of out-takes/bloopers. I’m guessing there will be lots of material to choose from with good humoured dwarfs like RA, Jamie Nesbitt and Mark Hadlow etc. as well as Hobbit Martin Freeman. Fingers crossed.
Have a great weekend everyone!
@Elaine: Thanks again for your contribution! 😀 It was a tough choice but yours came out on top.
Oh how fun that would be to see outtakes from The Hobbit!
I wish you a great weekend too!
*chuckling* Congrats to Elaine, it’s a good one.
I love the Hood Academy screencap. I wish they had included more and clearer footage on the DVD. As I go through a mental checklist, I believe that Robin Hood was the first time Richard rode horseback for a role, and now as Thorin in The Hobbit, he’s riding again. All good practice for the Richard III project, I hope.
@Leigh Vondereau: I can think of one other horseback riding role by Richard Armitage but I won’t spoil it in case someone else thinks of it. 🙂
I do wonder if the Richard III project will ever materialize. I wish RA the best of luck with that!
Took me a moment or two but I finally remembered the other role even though it was quite a few years ago!! We even got to see quite a bit of his legs too!! Won’t spoil it for others though! 🙂 He looks fantastic on a horse, does he not?? 😀
The gif is hilarious. Thanks Elaine and Bcc! Your blog always brings a smile!
@Teuchter: Aha, I knew I wasn’t the only one who would remember that role. 🙂 He absolutely looks awesome aboard a horse, LOL!
Thanks for your kind words on the animated gif!
LOVED IT! I went from ewwww, to cracking up.
Bcc and Elaine, you make a good team. Thanks
@gracie: LOL at your comment! Thanks for your kind (and funny) words. 😀
Congrats Elaine!
Bccmee, thanks for the funny gif. 🙂
“Here we go again …” ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ LOL!, It seems that not only I can not get away from this song. I’m really happy and thanks to you that I could download your video…Oh, oh, I want some more… 🙂

Funny! Thanks Bccmee and Elaine!
@grendel’s mum: Thanks for all your support on your great blog!
The caption works perfectly. I wish I’d thought of it. Oh well. And Richard does look fantastic on a horse.
@Holliday: I couldn’t think of it either, LOL! That’s why I called for help. Oh yes, indeed RA looks mighty fine on horseback!
Brilliant gif! LOL funny!!! Thanks Elaine and BccMee!
And thanks for the screencap, B., I love Richard on a horse…he has such a regal bearing, doesn’t he?
@Debra: I really enjoy the teamwork in the RA community! It’s so much fun. 🙂 A “regal bearing” is a great way to put it! Thanks for your lovely comment.
LOL! Ingenious gif Bccmee and very fanny caption Elaine!
Richie looks really good , I would like to train him a little…and I’m talking about the horse 😉
@Joanna – plu-eeze, sure it’s the horse you want to train………….lol!
@Joanna: *giggle*
@Elaine: Am I going to have to separate you two? 😉
@Elaine: what? what are you talking about?are you implying something?It just so happens that I like these magnificent animals,that’s all.!
( WTF!!!….what’s going on with my nose!:(
@Joanne – is this your nose? ======(:), oops there it goes again ===============(:)
Oh, the joy RA provide. Have a great week!
WAM! Richie wasn’t his first horse! I know we tend to forget Cleopatra (1999), but here he is:
