    Re: [RC] Speed Freak; Flying Emergency Dismount; 43rd Battalion - Sarah Zegers


    Here's a historical account of this technique being used by Col. John
    Mosby 
    (Mosby's Rangers) during the Civil War.
    Thought you Southern fellows might enjoy it.  
    
    FYI,  the emergency dismount is a basic technique that has been taught
    for years in formal riding programs, such as the Cavalry, USPCA [aka
    Pony Club], the British Horse Society rating programs, 4-H, etc.  It is
    my observation that some endurance riders seem to have skipped the
    basics of riding & gone right to the trail.  Then, when they get out of
    control & into trouble, they can become a danger to themselves and
    others.  Too bad.
