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.

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)

Calling for Creative Dismount Submissions!

Friends! Romans! Countrymen! Lend me your tales! (What is the most creative way YOU have dismounted a horse?)

Hold Your Horses!

Video: honesty and bravery on the part of jockey and horse!

More Bull

Video of men leaping over a charging bull. Really. On purpose. Why? Because it’s SPAIN. They’re guys…and they CAN. Unlike bullfighting, there are no Varas (lances) stuck in the bull to cause it pain, you can watch secure in the knowledge the bull is not harmed.

Bull Riding, The Video. See Jane Ride. Ride Jane Ride!

Video of Jane riding the mechanical bull at the fair. Not pretty. Dressage Queen wanna-be realizes nearly all of her training is useless in the cowgirl world, and wants her tiara back NOW.
