OMG please please becareful, the mother in me wants to run scoop you up and rap cotton wool all over you
I think my most amusing falls have all had an large audience, unfortunately they were back in the mists of time when hardly anyone had a video camera. I once had my cheekpiece snap as I went through the finish at a jumping class, pony stumbled,we were going fast, and I pitched over her shoulder into the ground. We still won . Came off the same pony at a different show when I forgot to turn and she had to choose between jumping the ring rope(and crowd) or dirty stop.She stopped and I rolled under the rope,we were eliminated for leaving the ring . The strangest was in a group lesson,I passed out and came to,sitting on the ground using her leg as the back of a chair!I asked what happened, I had kind of collapsed onto her neck,she slowed to a stop and I slithered off. I was lucky there, not a bruise on me and the passing out was just low blood sugar.
Not a fall but a good 'stay on'... Had about 6 weeks with no saddle last summer so was riding bareback and getting increasingly confident. We went for a canter in the field and my pony put in a little 'woo-goo' buck. I automatically gripped to stay on but was wearing spurs and gave poor pony a jab. Pony responded with another buck. I very quickly learned NOT to turn my toes out!
Not so much really, she would buck me off all the time at home! It was the rare occasion that i fell off,rather than being dumped. When I did she would look at me with pure contempt,like I had let the side down by not staying where she wanted meWOW sounds like your pony looked after you when she needed to
