Creative Dismount: Cara’s Story

Creative Dismount: Cara relates how she fell off a horse…while it was sleeping. Those of us who have fallen off of an awake, but not moving horse, are SO glad you wrote in. Thank you! (Although I believe we all know it could have been us as well…can so picture myself doing exactly that.)

Creative Dismounts: Liz’ Story

I think this one sums it up for most long term riders: They’re ALL creative dismounts. And for better or for worse, in life with horses, they will be ongoing! Let’s hear it for The Visible Bruise Policy.

Creative Dismounts: Arlene’s Story

Another Creative Dismount Story, this one from Arlene of Grey Horse Matters. Handiwipes won’t help, bring a hose, a blanket, and comfy sweats. Hunters to hounds, bring those cute little flasks…Arlene is going to need it, and we’re going to toast to going to a SPA for mud treatments.

Creative Dismounts: Chapter 2

We continue with more creative dismount tales, one funny, one dismaying…OUCH.

Creative Dismounts: Lee’s Story

Two creative dismount stories from Confessions of a Struggling Dressage Rider. I think we can all identify with being new, and told to handle a bolt using aids we haven’t yet learned!

Creative Dismounts: Chapter 1

Chapter One of Creative Dismounts! Enjoy, and keep the submissions coming. You have no idea how much better this makes us feel. It’s not confessions, it’s altruism. Generosity. Self-sacrifice for the greater good!

Creative Dismounts: Daisy’s Story

Daisy’s best creative dismount! Bring handiwipes. And for heaven’s sake, do not drink any beverage while reading.

Creative Dismounts: Jane’s Story

Jane’s most horrifyingly embarrassing dismount. It doesn’t get much worse. This should help ease you into sharing your own creative dismount stories!

Drunken Hamsters, Apples and The Family Reunion

Jane Returns. The Maudlin Episode. Next up, the actual Creative Dismount submissions! (If I can wrest the computer from other family members long enough to post)

Timing is Everything

Keep the creative dismount submissions coming! They’re great! Sometime tomorrow will be our massive computer tear down and re-up…might not be here for 48 hours or so. Leaving you with cake to tempt you!
