Dismounts are the places where a clown gets down off the horse, or, in plain speech, the places where crochet stitches attach to a previously completed part of the chain. Dismounts allow more freedom than remounts because the clown does not need to be completely in-stride with the horse. The easiest possibilities are aligning the reach (the straight run of wire that the clown straddles, indicated in red in the figure above) with a protrusion of the chain on the far side (see the left side of the figure) or aligning with a protrusion on the near side (see the right side of the figure above.) Aligning with the far side seems easier.
The dismounts are necessarily enantiomorphic. For example, if a clown dismounting on the right side of the horse starts on his right foot, then a clown dismounting on the left side of the horse starts on his left foot. Just as for remounts, there will be an even number of horse steps between dismounts to the same side, and an odd number of horse steps between dismounts to opposite sides.
