Roxsol, I think Dr Cummins was not considering history when she came up with this theory. I agree, colleenoz. I have read that before (the sword thing) and it makes sense. It is interesting though, that a horse (at least in my experience) seems to favour their left side. Hmm, maybe it just seems that way as I like to use my right hand for leading. Anyway, one exception that I know of with dismounting is that ropers pretty much use the right side of the horse as it is the quickest way to get to whatever has been roped and nobody gets tangled up! eta Wildchild, I agree with you about the knees/legs. That horse looks like he is walking towards the camera. It’s a nice photo :)

Or, you just think you’re running in for that one thing.
