Yes I have a funny story about that. Some years ago I was riding one of
my 4 year old TBs (this one was VERY athletic) in the
ring and we were trotting around the perimeter in a nice steady rhythym. I was
relaxing finally on this guy! As we rounded one end of the ring, all of a
sudden with no warning, he reared up and I guess the sudden action dislodged
me. My friend happened to be looking out of the barn at that moment and she
told me that I looked like I was just standing in the air with reins in
my hand. And that's how I landed- on my feet with the reins in my hand! It was
my lucky day!-Amy
