Brings to mind a memory of the last Musical Freestyle competition I watched. Lots of big names in dressage for both horses and riders, very nice performances, etc. At the end, all the horses came out for presentation of ribbons and the victory lap. Only 2 would stand still, and one started bucking during the victory lap. :)

I can just picture it in my mind…124 dressage horses lined up with riders properly attired and mounted when the cannon goes off and all 124 horses race for the first letter to begin the routine. Certainly no riders would fall off.
Heck I fall off on a regular basis doing endurance and that is seldom at the start…gotta’ love those Arabian horses.
