How To Get Bucked Off Properly!
There is a definate "classical" method one should follow while one's horse is bucking.
Ensure that you have an audience. There is absolutely no point in being decked by your horse unless there are, oh, say a hundred people around to watch. This way, you will have made them feel better about their own inadequacies, and you won't have to go into tedious detail explaining to everyone you know exactly how it happened. It is considered good form if at least one of the audience members is either:
someone you admire or want to impress; or
someone you despise and don't want to give any ammo to; or
someone you have the hots for and want to impress; or
your best friend, who will have no compunction in falling over, laughing and pointing.
Try to be spectacular. I mean, anyone can just get bucked off and land on their backside, can't they? You want to try to make this "the decking to end all deckings." The Titanic of bucks. You get the picture. Now, for this you will need the following:
An extremely acrobatic horse - you want one of those twisty-turny jobbies last seen at the National Rodeo Championships;
a supple back - you should practice somersaults, pirouttes and handstands at home;
a hat - see, I can be sensible!
It is best if this buck comes at a time when everyone is watching you, but no one is prepared for what is to come. During dressage test is good. Your horse should be working nicely, giving no indication that you are about to become "the person who learned to fly." Of course, experts at this will point to the tail swishing, the ears twitching back, and the tension around the nostrils, but they are show offs and should be ignored. To the uninitiated, this will look like a dramatic performance, which you and your horse practiced at home.
When the horse leaves the ground, and launches you into the air like a cannon ball, it is far more gratifying for the crowd if you can let out a blood-curdling yell. Practice this at home. When the local rangers knock on your door, asking if you are keeping a wild cougar in your backyard, you will know you have it right.
You should try to stay elevated as long as possible. The longer the better. If your arms and legs fly in impossible directions, as if you were a rag doll, you will achieve additional marks for artistic impression.
When you land, try to do so with a thud! The kind of dull kind that you hear when you drop a melon from a great height. Try not to go "splat" - it puts the audience off their hamburgers.
Lie immobile for a while, as your horse runs off into the distance. After a suitable time, raise your head and groan: "you b*****d".
