I think twice, but can't recall for sure... sounds like the sort of thing that would happen to me though

I don't think I've fallen off the same horse more than once in one day though

I think my worse day was at Oxford County Show doing Mounted Games in the main ring. It was the day after I left uni for good, so I had been on a bit of a party party for about 2 weeks and probably wasn't riding to the best of my ability, but I was falling off well. I managed to vault on and completly miss the saddle and end up on the wrong side. But the worst was when I dropped a mug so I lent over to pick it up and just fell to the floor right at Michael Hesltines feet, I looked up and said 'hello'
 
LOL about 6 times on the lunge a few years ago, riding a very naughty horse without stirrups who kept bucking, dropping his shoulder and practically running sideways!
 
Was twice in one day whilst out hunting - stupid thing neither of them happened when I was jumping! First of all, on the way to the hunt the girl in front of me went under a low tree which looked like it was all just twigs and leaves. She was on a smaller horse and was fine, whilst I was smacked on the head by a branch and knocked off my horse!

Then during the hunt itself we were going through woodland when my horse slipped and fell sideways - I was very lucky to be thrown clear

Twice....in two minutes!
Poppy, older dun mare, always lost riders. I got cheesed off with it and said, why?? She is a genuine 13.2 newfie and easy to ride.
So I took her out, ........
Cantering in the sheep fields, she span on a sixpence and I went the other way...
Got up, said, right, lets do that again eh?
Two mins later, exactly the same! Broke her reins this time!
Clever mare

Always the same direction, so holding the right rein shorter when cantering one can stay on!
Very funny though (but a little bit 'ouchy'

i think 3 times, took Honey jumping to Knebworth when she was about 5 and she just refused to play the jumping game!!
At the moment she is being a sh*t to jump and putting in these naughty stops and keeps getting me off at competitions!! doesn't help i only ride when at home from uni!
 
My worse was probably when darling Mickey bucked me off 3 times in 5 mins up on the golf course!! I remember that day well - it was the first time I'd wor matching socks in months and needless to say I haven't worn matching socks since! It was the 5th July 1998!!

Ahh, Mickey and I had many tumbles together - he rodeoed and I fell off and he put my fall count up to well over 150!!! But he also taught me how to sit a buck and being only 12hh I also learnt how to fall safely!

Kiri on the other hand seems to get a much better tune out of him and can sit his bucks all day! BUT when she was just learning to ride she went on a PC xc rally and the pony she was riding put her in the coffin of a coffin combo a good 6 times as her balance was terrible - he trotted up to the ditch and stopped with his nose in it and she fall straight down his neck. On 4 of the falls he kept going and proceeded to stand on her!! I think she got a special rosette for effort though and they did it nicely in the end!
 
I'm not to sure but its over 4! I was about 8 or 9 and I was riding my my sisters 13.2hh bareback. Every time we go to B he cut across the school to E (where the gate was) and everytime I slid off! Then I put up a 6 inch jump and I fell off another 3 times going over that.
 
Probably about 10 or 12 in one session with my old 12.2, he was a little monkey, we would be trotting (because he wouldnt canter) along and all of a sudden wooomph head down for the grass. BTW that was with grass reins! I absolutely adored that pony but my god he tested my patience.
My mum used to get visits from Social Services because I was always getting my head xrayed!
