This is a discussion on Fell off Smarty got it on tape within the Horse Videos forums, part of the Horse Pictures, Videos, Artwork, and Contests category
I havent fallen off too badly yet lol. I'm trying to learn the tuck en roll but usually that's the last thing that I think of when im heading for the ground. Fall off, sit there for a second thinking am I ok? Then get up jump back on haha. She's not exactly a '13 year old dead quiet broke horse' as everyone puts it. She still likes to get rid of her rider once in a while
At least she makes riding interesting Haha. I've fallen around 30 times and I still don't know how to roll when I fall (probably because I'm still trying to hold on for dear life and HOPING that I'm actually not going to fall, ha).
Back when I went to a riding club we had this instructor who told us to wear old clothes one weekend so we all turned up in old clothes wondering why and shed set up bout 4 barells on their sides and told us we were learning how to fall. So we spent the afternoon falling off a barrel and attempting to tuck and roll lol! But I still didnt grasp it very well. And yes keeps it interesting :)
