Further to not going according to plan....

Well I think you did v well to sit that, it was a nasty rear, and we have all had moments where we have been taken by surprise. S*d all the perfect riders who would have *obviously* done the right thing and been perfect!
 
I meant well sat as in you stayed on too :o

And I did try to defend you, but got accused by another poster :rolleyes:

Mine has taken to doing little excitement wheelies, and frankly I have to get off to take a big slug of gin and some valium so how anyone rides wheelie beasties for a living or copes a la text book (or like you sits another two and still carry on) has my respect :D

NLP I am assuming you are referring to me. You misunderstood my intent, and actually the words that I had posted. My post did not refer to any mistakes made etc etc, it was there to offer helpful advice to anyone who was unaware of how to prevent a rear.

Referring to yourself as defending was not relevant or even appropriate, but what it did achieve was an adversarial stance, and this was not my intention at all and was actually unhelpful.

Well sat lass! Caveat: in that neither of you ended up on the ground :)

Horses, they do like to surprise us every now and then! Caveat: I'm fully aware the horse wasn't doing it to surprise.... Ah what the heck, I fully believe a horse likes to lie in its stable at night thinking up ways to surprise it's rider :D

There are points in every rider's career when the horse takes us completely by surprise and we don't handle the situation as well as we could. Your horse had never reared before, that is no bunny hop and I think most of us wouldn't have sat it perfectly under those circumstances, unless we ride regular rearers. If you take enough photos, the bad moments will come out. Well done for staying on OP. Going from the ground straight to vertical with no warning is not easy to cope with. If there is a next time you will be better prepared.
