FW: [RC] [RC] " when Lakota did his "Exit, stage left!" maneuver" - Mike SherrellI'm probably making a sloppy or incorrect reference. I was thinking about the old, primitive part of the brain that reacts before the nerve impulses reach the conscious brain.

Even at age 10, after several thousand miles, Traveller shies a lot still, and the last time he overwhelmed my reptilian brain's reaction time was about a year and a half ago at a gallop. Nowadays all I do is lose a stirrup, knock on wood.

I certainly have had that experience myself..

Seems that is direction I have always had to deal with, especially with the most 'exotic' dismounts. Anyone have experience going more one way or the other? ie right or left That horse is the one I used the Aussie saddle on and it did make a difference. I am riding in a Passier dressage saddle now and have a deep seat but not like the aussie. I no longer have that horse for more reasons that the sudden left hand exits. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
