Smiling as you land is great. Unless
your mouth is full of dirt. Not pretty. A bloody mouth is not very
attractive either. But if your SMILING, it doesn't really matter!

The first thing to say which will
also let everyone know you are alright is....

??? TA-DAH!
Oh I get up talking all right - telling that damn fool turkey that flew
up in my horses face that if I get my hands around his neck he's
dinner. Or cursing whoever though it was funny to leave a inflated car
tire inner tube in around a curve on a trail I love to gallop. Boy that
was a good flyer - end over end and spliting the air space right
between his ears like a perfect field goal.
Of coure the Jbird did look awful funny coming back into camp with an
inner tube around his neck - got to keep the trails clean. I don't
think wild horse eatting inner tubes will bother him in the future. Now
800 pound horse eating turkeys is a different story.
Stay loose, get your appendages into your body, tuck your head and
relax and you will most likely be all right.

It is also an icebreaker to help
those who witnessed the episode to let the giggling begin.

If you can start singing, "I'm?A
Survivor" by Destiny's Child, call 9-1-1. Especially if you didn't know
the song BEFORE the unplanned dismount.
