dismount
Leave your horse
To dismount is to get off something you're riding—a horse, bicycle, or motorcycle.
The word suggests a deliberate, controlled descent rather than falling.
In gymnastics, the dismount is the final move off an apparatus: She stuck the dismount.
In computing, to dismount a drive is to disconnect it from the operating system before removal.
