This is Brilliant Stuff

My friend Mike sent me this valuable information the other day:

 

How to Control a Runaway Camel

Step 1: Hang on to the reins but do not pull them back hard in an attempt to stop the camel. 

Step 2:  If the camel has sturdy reins on, pull the reins to one side in an attempt to make the camel run in a circle.  If the camel fights and tries to turn his head the other way, let him do this and then try and make him run in a circle in that direction.

Step 3:  If the camel has nose reins just hold on tight.  (Apparently pulling too hard can break the camel's nose or the reins)  Use the reins for balance and grip with you legs.

Step 4:  Hold on until the camel stops.  He will grow tired quickly and sit down.

Step 5:  When the camel sits down, jump off and quickly grab the reins to prevent him from running away.

Don't you wish you had some instructions like this for riding Mongolian horses?

So let us know when you become a camel jockey.
