Re: [RC] Becky's Tevis dismount - Barbara McCrary

I have never done a dismount in this manner, so I cannot comment from experience.  However, just looking at the photo, I would say that she had to have thrown her left leg over the pommel of the saddle in order to have achieved the posture she exhibits.  Had she thrown her left leg over the saddle behind her, her body most likely would have been pitched slightly forward, rather than slightly back, as is shown.  At any rate, she is obviously very athletic and coordinated (something I have NEVER been.)

Okay, what I'd like to know is which way she swung her off leg over, towards the back? or over the front? My daughter often rides sort of sidesaddle. >From that position, it wouldn't take much to push yourself off and I wonder if this is what Becky does.

I happen to know how Becky came about with that dismount.
Becky and Laurie Wilson were Ride and Tie partners for many years. When
they would do a flying tie (which is when they exchange together along
the trail, not tying to a tree) the rider would gallop up to the runner,
fly off the right side as the runner mounted on the left. This was
actually started by the Wadsworth boys.
