Brenda Murillo hits the ground after she and her horse Cazador slipped and fell during a "punta," or slide stop, at Rancho San Miguel in Atascosa, Texas on March 26, 2015. This was Murillo's first time falling off, she said. Despite that, she got back on moments later and tried to do a punta again, this time with success. "When an escaramuza falls, they just dust off their dress and get right back on," Coach Jimmy Ayala said. Cazador was Murillo's grandfather's horse in Mexico and then was passed down to her uncle before she got him. "They've got the same attitude," Ayala said jokingly of the pair.
