possibility of falling A horse seems awfully high and It is a moving object with hard feet Small children seem to be moro resilient than adults an earth- shattering observation and ore not usually hurt but the arthritic stiffened twenty plusy carolds usually put out a shoulder or something bouncing off a soft horse onto hard ground It Is this fear which prevents many people from attempting the adventure but if wo went through life afraid of falling wed be a pretty dull lot Is there anyway to avoid the early falls from a horse Well I certainly havent found any although there arc some obvious dos and Most of it depend on how athletic and co ordinated you arc I am one of those people who vault gracefully over a fence and fall flat on my face So my horse falls have been frequent spectacular and usually amusing although never serious However my husband Is an athletic type whose muscles snap to attention and obey his every command Only once have I seen him come off a horse and on this occasion he made it look as though he had vaulted off the galloping lore and run along side to pull her to a halt Spec tators applauded this rodeo trick and it was not until later that ho told me he had actually been off Thud Ideally everyone should lenm how to fall starting with a tumble on a soft matting and progressing until the rider can pitch off a moving horse with ease had much instruction on how to fall one should roll over the horse shoulder one should never put out an arm to save oneself one should stay on at all costs one should bail out at all costs etc Unfortunately it has never done me much good because my mind goes blank the minute I lose contact with the horse A confused blur of legs horse s not mine is all I get before something hurts and Im gasping for breath So 1 Just make sure hard hat is strapped on firmly and hope for the best Bruises all ever provide many amusing stones far horsemen Some years ago 1 was watching an excellent rider friend Susan fool around Indian fashion on a spirited gelding She cantered bareback siting and backwards sliding down under the horses neck and slithering back up again all feats of considerable agility After her display she trolled the horse over to talk and sat casually holding the reins The horse suddenly nut his head down to grate took Susan by surprise and caused her to somersault neatly over his head Another time my instructor watched mc ride a rather violently bucking horse and fly dramatically through the air to thud on my backside driving my through the top of my hard hat After dusting me down her comment was a casual You should have rolled off with the first buck I II try to remember that next time An old major friend used to roar at tumbling pupils Did I you permission to amount and former instructor used to fine fallcrs cents Another rider has had quite a few breaks from falling and so now makes every effort to slay on the horse come what may Ac tually shes quite right Youre much safer on a horses back than under his feet and If you absolutely refuse to come off you be surprised by how much you can weather If you do happen to dismount hurriedly try to roll in a ball lust In case I saw girl trampled by by an excited horse long ago and because she was In a prenatal crouch with helmet on site was completely unscathed Seven falls make a rider they say If this is the case I in an expert
