Re: [RC] [RC] Horse with attitude... - Truman Prevatt

The first instinct when you come off is to reach out and "catch yourself." Don't. Tuck all extremities into your body and get into as small of a footprint as possible. Sicking an hand and arm out is the fastest way to break something - usually a wrist or arm.

    there's a definite loss of flexibility to go along with it all.

    I've found when I come off sideways that at least I haven't broken
    anything...yet. But going over those left shoulders head first
    gets me every time.
