During an emergency dismount, what is the offside role?

The offside role during an emergency dismount is primarily focused on assisting the rider in safely getting off the horse. This includes helping to bring the rider's leg over the horse, facilitating a swift and safe dismount. The offside is typically the side of the horse opposite the mounting side and plays a crucial role in ensuring that the rider can exit the situation efficiently, especially under emergency conditions.

Holding the horse steady, guiding the horse away from obstacles, and managing the reins are also important safety measures during the dismount process. However, these actions are generally associated with the onside or lead side of the horse, emphasizing the offside role's specific focus on assisting with the dismount itself. By ensuring the rider can dismount safely, the offside role helps prevent further injury in a potentially dangerous situation.
