How did they prepare movie stunt horses to fall?
The riders could stay balanced as the horse went down.
They were very good, famous, people wanted signed autographs of them.
The head needs to get in position.
And the feet get in position.
And just like any other maneuver, it’s a matter of balancing the horse to put them in a certain place for a certain results. What we need to be aware of is how it happens on purpose, and how it can happen accidentally. Know what’s going to happen before it happens. What’s exactly right in one situation can be exactly wrong in another situation. Plenty of people fall horses unintentionally the same way other people used to fall them intentionally.
Gravity has no prejudice.
Join Frank and I to talk about balancing, rebalancing, biomechanics, anatomy, how our weight influences the horses foot placement and how their head position affects their foot placement.
