Falling off horses: POLL

[Tia]

Here we go:

 

[patchandloopy]

Last two times have been on my back-ouchhh!

 

[Weezy]

Had to put other as I always fall onto my hip/buttock/side and roll - cannot remember NOT falling like this

 

[Lucy_Ally]

Shoulder or back usually, think I must roll up in a ball!

 

[Molineux]

Depends on how I am falling!
If I am jumping then who knows where I will land!
Flat well I always try and land on my feet (Never happens tho!)

However every time I have fallen off I have been in a hospital bed and knew I hurt all over!

 

[rema]

I usually end up on my back!!.Last time very winded and ended up on all fours honking like a distressed seal!!.

 

[beh]

always land on my ass, it is the heaviest part of me lol

 

[Tia]

Sorry

......but I really am chuckling at your reply.

 

[Blazingkate]

Everything! I normally land on my side/back/hip area, although my last fall I landed on my hands n did a forward roll and finished on my bum! (I was doing gymkhana and as I lent right, my horse went left very sharply lol)

[rema]

Chuckle away i must have looked very funny!!.

 

[moodymare1987]

i usually end up on my feet and stumble backwards, but the last time i fell off was when i was jumping and i fell onto my knees, my god did that hurt as i hit the deck my body was twisted,

when i jump though i can fall off any old how,

 

[gemz666]

i normaly fall on my bum or my back only once on my head

 

[Chex]

I usually land on my side or back. Last time I landed on my feet and my leg snapped, didn't realise I was THAT heavy lol

 

[Vix1978]

Now I do usually seem to land on my feet (somehow...). Having said that, I bet next time I land on my head!

 

[sarah_hateley]

I have landed on my feet about 4 times, usually because I bail out if im falling!
The one time I managed to land on the opposite side of the jump, on my feet, with my reins in my hands, and my horse the other side of the jump! Little bugger did evil dirty stops and I hadn't leant to sit back then!

 

[Irishcobs]

Normally on my bottom, but I usually land sitting up and fall back, hitting my back and head

! Last time I came off I landing my back on the road and caused a hell of a lot of damage.

 

[teapot]

Put feet as that's how I landed last time I fell off - bent my legs and everything

instructor was very impressed LOL, I wasn't after being removed from a 17hh due to his spooking at nothing ~rolls eyes~ Think I ended up at A and he was around B

 

[spider]

Usually my bum. Guess the heaviest part hits the ground first!

 

[RachelB]

Last time I was on my front/ elbows/ knees and skidding along the school. Time before that I think was bum, then back (dragged along gravel path on my back), then I was dragged on my side for a while the time before that. So a bit of all of them really!

 

[Super_Kat]

I normally come down very heavily on my shoulder. have also been known to land on my arse, feet and face

 

[LauraBR]

Head/shoulder or hip usually...

 

[jayvee]

Oh hell, all of them in my case!

 

[SecretSquirrell379]

I tend to somersault off out of the side door and just roly poly off, the first time I came off (a year ago tomorrow!) I didn't get the somersault quite right, landed heavily on my shoulder and dislocated it

The last couple of times I have come off when she has spooked in the school I have managed to land on my feet

 

[SouthWestWhippet]

last twice have been on my lower back. First time resulted in horrid bruise, second time fractured my spine (ouch). Both times off the same dahm youngster as well. You'd think I'd've learnt

 

[Happy Bird]

Last two times have landed on my shoulder - the second to last one resulting in ACJ dislocation of the collar bone - which I definitely do not recommend. One month of no work, driving or riding. Painful at first, then very boring !!!!!!! (plus have a huge lump for life !!!)

 

[sugarnspice]

I usually fall over his right shoulder (once, onto his shoulder and over the poor sods head!), onto my shoulder/ back and roll!

 

[helenandshadow]

I usually land on my feet or my bum, have landed on my head twice and ended up in hospital both times!

 

[Quarrybank]

Well when i came off TODAY!!!! :-( I fell on my right bum/hip. Ouch..... I'm so stiff. I went to Dressage, put my foot in the stirrup to get on, & as I was getting on, something startled him and he shot forward & bucked like stink (as only Q can do!) Sat the first few, although had no stirrups as hadn't had time, but as we were heading for a car I pulled him right, he was still bucking and off I span.

Ouch again..... onto gravel! He disapeared up the car park in Piaffe.
Caught v naughty pony & at second attempt I got on board & he then did 2 great tests!! Horses..... don't you just love them.
My work colleges are so going to laugh when I hobble in tomorrow!

Generally land on my head, seem to do least damage when I do! Well they do say "where there's no sense there's no feeling!" Though can land on any part or usually have the horse come down on top.
