for me it is mounting my horse that poses the biggest problem! he has had saddle issues in the past, and has a fear of mounting blocks, and bolts if you are given a leg up. He has bucked me off a few times getting on, and he has also reared over backwards twice, whilst I get on. I now always get on in the arena, where at least I have a softer landing. Having said that I have never been injured during these "episodes", but have had a couple of very nasty injuries whilst handling horses, namely a broken back, which damaged my spinal chord to the point im a medical marvel. Plus the one I mentioned yday when I nearly drowned and cracked my head open whilst mucking out!
