This adds a lot of humorous perspective to
the problem. I like your style, but I will be grateful if the next time I
am un-horsed I am able to get up, unbroken, and get back on the horse to ride
home. :-))
after learning to fall safely, we can move on to the next step, which
will be called, "falling with style". we might can make it a judged
event, kind of like olympic diving. i am already thinking of how i can
slide back onto my horse's rump while he is bucking, so that i can be launched
into the air, obtaining enough height to do a double somersault and land on my
feet, smiling for the judges. (judges like it when you
smile!) ed
