unhorsed
Knocked from saddle
Unhorsed means knocked or thrown from a horse, especially in combat or jousting: The knight was unhorsed by his opponent's lance.
By extension, it describes being removed from a position of power or advantage: The scandal unhorsed the party's front-runner.
The word carries a slightly archaic or literary flavor.
