For the first time in 30 years (see never think you are invincible) I bailed out on a young 3 year old a few months ago, who I was riding and teaching to work with a herd of cattle. He was "faced up" by a brazen steer and it frightened him so much that when I left the herd he just flew up into the air. He kept going up and down and as I was in a western saddle that horn was getting ever closer............I jumped! I expected to land on my feet but the bugger went back up again and took my right leg with him.

Well I suppose it was at least pretty spectacular!

On the 1st of August, and not been allowed to ride since

roll on February so I can get back in the saddle (my nice new saddle might I add, not even had a chance to sit on it yet!)

 

[madgirl]

not for over a year now!! never off major touch wood!

I did in the last month, but it was my own stupidity. I was on my aunts 3 yr old mare bareback with only a halter and lead tied around to guide her......she is very gentle, but suddenly a section of corral panel gates fell and she was spooked. I FLEW off that horse!

Last year, and it was a bit embarrassing. I was trotting down the long side of the arena when the mare I was on jumped sideways:she went left, I went right

. Ended up doing a graceful commando roll over her shoulder and ended up flat on my a**e. Instructor just laughed and said wasn't I glad that they'd just resurfaced the arena.

I put in the last year, but it was actually 2 1/2 years ago - hacking out and friend's horse bucked and bolted, throwing her, so mine joined in. I stayed on till the second corner at flat out gallop, ricocheted off a sign post, bounced into a wall, and gave up... had to walk back to the yard, where thankfully both horses were there - only damage to horses were broken reins... but I've got a permentantly knackered back from it...

The year before he threw me through a post and rail fence after bolting in the school - I broke the fence with my leg, and was very lucky not to break anything.

Needless to say that horse has now been sold, and I have a much quieter life now

About 3 weeks ago. Horse got spooked and spun and I went out the side door.

 

[calon]

When I baled out as my mare went inot a rearing episode

 

[riotgirl]

About a year ago. Off a stationary horse.

 

[Rambo]

Ten days ago at a show. I jumped the fence, the horse decided not to

 

[SouthWestWhippet]

Exactly 4 weeks tonight, off a 4yr old I was trying to back. I was in the indoor with my boss/trainer. He legged me up to lie over the saddle, I put my leg over the saddle and the youngster totally panicked. He shot off flat out and my trainer couldnt' hold him. Horse went left then right... I just went left LOL. Ended up in hospital for 5 days with fractured spine and haven't been on a horse since

Only another 2 weeks to go before I'm allowed to ride again tho!

Don't you think rider insurers should off a no-falls bonus like car insurers offer no claims? I was doing pretty well before I started mucking about with this loopy youngster!

 

[horsegirl]

oh dear!

 

[riotgirl]

I know! I still don't know how I managed it. Not sure who was more shocked - me or the horse. I swear, she looked at me on the floor, looked up at the saddle, and looked at me again. She was so puzzled bless her

 

[tashyisaudrey]

got bucked off last week, by a huge 16.2 hh - landed on head , really painful.

 

[Christmas_Kate]

I had to vote never, as it didnt give the option of 'years ago'.

Last time I fell off, me and a mate were having a race up a hill on someone elses horses, the horse I was riding suddenly veered left and i went out the side door. Must have been about 12 years ago. God, i've gone and tempted fate now havent I?

ETS:
I did come off rather well though, did a somersault and landed on my feet.

 

[Vix1978]

When one of the horses I train decided to have a massive bronking fit down the field. Managed to stay on all during the episode, but when she got a kick for being an 4rse, she did a massive bronc, which resulted in me doing a flip and landing on my feet (quite impressive). I suppose there is some poetic justice in there somewhere......

 

[Litorio]

fell off at uni the other day. bloody horse lol

 

[jacks_mum]

Jack decided to teach me how to get off at a gallop on Saturday! I learned really quickly - only took him two bucks at full speed. He stood next to me until I could breath again, kind of said - oh good you're alive - and buggered off home leaving me to walk a mile on my own asking random people if they had seen my horse go past! Bast@rd. It's only the second time I've come off him too.

 

[ladylisa]

MMMMMMM i answered the poll last month about broken bones while riding, two days later was cantering and horse tripped up and went down on the face, so i was thrown over her head and fractured my wrist and ended up with a great mud face pack...that was 4 weeks and 2 days ago, and i had my pot taken off yesterday, but my wrist is so weak ive got to wear a splint for riding.

 

[Gingernags]

Frantically touching wood and crossing fingers...

You don't have an answer for me, I haven't come off in 10 years!!!! And then its only once in 14 years or so...

 

[MissDeMeena]

I can't rememver how old i was.. but my pony put his head down to eat some grass.. and i went too

LOL hehe
