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 :)

I do Market Research.....yes I'm one of those who will call and get opinions on different topics. But that's beside the point. True story......one call a lady was upset that I called. She said I'm 67, and it's late and I'm going to bed. It was 7pm. The very next call was a lady who said, I'm sitting here with a glass of wine, listening to Il Divo. I'll gladly do your survey. She was 80. When I'm out with my friends I'm up on the floor all the time.....we have a particular band that we follow....groupies, if you will. So many people tell me how energetic I am, and that they can't keep up. Just last week, I was getting my ginger ale at the bar, and a regular bar fly asked if I was from Cape Breton (Nova Scotia). I said Nope. Are you from the East Coast? I said Nope. He said you dance like an East Coaster and it's fkng awesome!! LOLOL

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