Graceful Dismount

           When you fall of your horse you don't want it to hurt, but you want it to look good, especially if there is a camera on site. You can't boost about you cantering lazily toward a 2'6 jump and your horse just not feeling like jumping it, and you are too lazy and inattentive to dig your heels in and make them, so you decide to try to jump it by yourself, so when your horse ducks out, you lean forward and pitch yourself over the head of your horse and over the jump or on top of it. This type of dismount usually results in a front flip in mid-air and landing on your back. So when you have a picture of such a dismount all you can do is shudder and hope nobody else has seen it.

Such a picture probably looks similar to this

          But you can boost about your horse galloping toward a 3'2 oxer, flying over it, landing, and your horse is so overcome by its sense of accomplishment that it starts bucking and you only fall off because a pigeon chooses that moment to dive toward your horses head, resulting in a huge bronco buck and you fly into the air, and of course the camera man has waited for this moment and the camera flashes. This is a picture I know any of you would hang on the wall, and in-till they fade you would show off those bruises of yours too, of course if you had managed to STAY on it would be legendary.
