Re: [RC] bucking twh/ what you think when coming off a horse? - Chris PausThe last opportunity I had to run these thoughts through my mind was in July, at the end of a 10 mile training ride. My seasoned campaigner, STar, who is well known for his insta-teleports, had been perfect all day. We were just sauntering down the trail headed back to camp, when he teleported hard to the left. I flew right over his neck.
My first thought was
1. damn, I'm not going to hit the ground hard
2. Grab something to break my fall
My right hand found his right ear. I unknowinglhy created a new riding maneuver, the one-eared emergency dismount.
I held on to that ear as I lowered myself down to the ground. He stood stock still. I landed on my feet. Yeah!
But, three months later, my right shoulder still hurts, so he got the last laugh, I guess.
