While the horse was going up the steep hill, it suddenly bucked. The reason for the same is unclear, though it might have been because the horse was uncomfortable or because it was trying to balance itself. As the horse bucked, the girl was suddenly thrown into the air, with only her hands holding the reins. Though the girl was clearly caught off guard, her athleticism and grace ensured that she executed a perfect emergency dismount.

When the rider was thrown in the air, she put both her legs on one side and jump-landed to the ground as the horse skidded to a stop. Her quick thinking and her litheness ensured that she was unharmed. The horse seemed to be safe as well, albeit a little skittish because of the sudden occurrence. Though the girl is safe, the video acts as a warning to all the riders to always be alert while on horseback and be ready for surprises.
