Does it count......

If I fall off and land on my feet thanks to a phesant in the bushes last night????

Don't do that. I landed on my feet once, worst thing I ever did. I couldn't walk for four months and couldn't ride for nine!

 

[annunziata]

OMG!!!!! I hope you are all mended now????

 

[Jesstickle]

I'm fine! Just be careful!

But no, I think it probably doesn't count. It was clearly a deliberate dismounting manoeuvre

 

[annunziata]

OMG I am trying to be careful but Donkey can be very stupid!

hehe that happened to me once with a bolter who i was trying to cure for her owner. She took off and then stopped dead when i insisted enough, she refused to turn her body even though her head was facing the other way lol and then just as i didnt actually have anything in front of me, she decided to use the emergency stop. I sailed straight over her head and landed on my feet facing her. Didnt know who was more surprised! Me or her! rofl

Got back on and she didnt bolt again with me, probably thought there was no point if i was just gonna do that and get back on her again hahaha

That's clearly vaulting off, and very clever indeed.

You wuz lucky. Lot of folk break their legs doing that.

Ooh, I did that too once.. friend's horse stopped dead at a jump, so over his neck I sailed.. landed on my feet.. then one ankle caved in and I definitely wasn't standing up any more. I wasn't as bad as Jess, but it was bloody sore and I couldn't walk at all for about a week.

Did you manage to hold onto your reins @annunziata? If so, that could be considered a technical dismount worthy of Beth Tweddle )
