>>> i got bucked off miss molly in a similar lesson where i was the student. i don't think she thought i was making fun of her though, i think i got stuck sitting over her kidneys while trying to slide off over her bum, and she started bucking right there on the crossties, probably out of pain.
I've always been told - and I believe - that you should NEVER mount a horse that's tied, particularly cross-tied. A horse that's tied is much more likely to panic if something goes wrong, and a tied horse in a panic is prone to pull back, or even go over on his/her back. That's very dangerous for the rider - and probably not too cool for the horse either. Karen Karen Thomas Wingate, NC No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
