I horse back rideing and 2 weeks ago(I take lessons) and I fell off a horse. It can really spook you out but I have a few tips for you.. I hope they can help.
1. When you feel you are about to fall off a horse DO NOT sit forward in the saddle because you will lose your ballance and most likely fall off.....so sit back in the saddle and pull and give on the reins.....if that doesn't work...
2. The emergancy jump off- Take both feet out of the saddle (do you know when you get off a horse how you take both feet out of the saddle , swing a leg over and jump off?)<--- and do that . Once you have calmed down go get the horse.
3. DO NOT HANG ON TO THE HORSE ONE FALLING OF OR YOU CAN GET REALLY HURT!
Thats all I know right now but if you want I can ask my riding teacher about falling off...I am going horse back rideing on Saturday.
