Ha Ha!! I did do that on one of my more spectacular "creative
dismounts"! My friends and I were riding drag on a local ride. We were
happily trotting along enjoying ourselves and chatting when a rabbit
broke from underfoot, running smack into my horse's legs. My horse did
a nice "airs above the ground" and I flipped head over heels, landing on
my feet with my arms upraised. I got a 9.0, missing the perfect mark
for not keeping my feet together and my toes pointed throughout the
maneuver!
