I could fall off a rocking horse :(

[Donnie Darco]

Came out the side door last night horse spooked in school took off round the corner quite fast and I fell off landing (and breaking) the fence

Thing is, at my yard, it seems to be only me that falls off so must be rubbish rider

Feeling a bit rubbish and sore today

Sorry pointless moany post

No point in sitting on the proverbial fence, ask an instructor to come in and give you a few lessons, grid work without stirrups , being lunged with exercises, and so on, you need to ride more, as until you have a secure deep seat you will be in danger of falling off.
She may also help to calm the beast!
Go to the gym and do some circuit training so you sharpen up a bit and are more flexible. Try cycling to and from the yard for a few weeks, improve your fitness by shortening the time allowed for the journey.
PS I hope your joddies are not too tight, I find this is a problem when mounting in winter!

Aye. If you feel that bad, get some lessons, or at least advice from a competent friend.

Hope you're not too ouchy.

Well, you know what they say, you need to fall off 7 times to be a perfect rider! If that's true I must be a bloody amazing rider! Don't feel down. Agree with MLT, circuits to sharpen you up would help

Rather worryingly I have lessons

Will start cycling, but if want to ride need to drive as no where to store tack

Just feeling a bit pooh

I wouldn't worry about it - even the best riders fall off

I've also landed on a jump wing and broken it so you're not alone
