When did you last fall off?

Last summer. I was on my aunts mare bareback AND tandem with my daughter ( 13). I was behind

A gate fell down and made a loud CRASH and mare swooped sideways. Having no saddle and only holding on to daughter I flew off and took the poor girl with me

Wednesday, it involved Tarquin in an uncooperative mood and a hedge cutter. I had given up on our ride out as he was rearing and napping as we were on our own even though he had been fine the day before and on the way home we had to wait for a hedge cutter to get out of the way. Mr T didn't want to wait, reared up so high that I ended up behind the saddle and so eventually slid off his bottom, at which point he trotted off to his field crossing a busy main road on the way. Not what I had planned. Riding so many youngsters at work and my own youngster falling off seems to occur seemingly more often at the mo.
 
two weeks ago asking molly to canter over ridge and furrow stumbled and I departed over left shoulder of her she got up and looked at me as if to say what areyou doing down there!
 
In November at a diddy SJ competition - in the 3'0 class, blowing a hooley and chucking it down with rain. Horse took off to jump the last fence (water tray) and then put in a truly dirty stop and I was committed! Arena was so wet I made a big sploosh and it didn't hurt, although it has ruined my white jodhs!
 
Beginnig of December, ponio was on a mission for some reason. I sat out 3 rodeo sessions and then was caught out by a tiny very unassuming spook

Rosie fell off last Saturday at Horseheath point2point but in pointing they call it 'unseated' which doesn't sound as bad somehow. She was riding a maiden who was out for the first time - in the lead but he put in a sneaky extra stride. She fell off him earlier in the week too when they were schooling up at the gallops

No damage done but it's the third time she's been dumped this year as she also fell off SJ at Towerlands a couple of weeks ago.
