I teach little kids to do it we go through walk trot and canter bareback to kind of get the idea and then we try with the saddle. I had one do it at the trot and lost her balance she fell over the horse’s neck and took the bridle with her. Poor Pony was so confused.

Sometimes especially in XC I think you can easily and quickly find yourself in stuck in a no-man's-land scenario neither able to safely bail out nor able to come back and make a save either. Some riders just hang on and hope things will soon calm and sometimes it works and sometimes it has horrific results. I'm big on perfecting the emergency bailout manoeuvre to the point of it being almost an involuntary response but rode without tack for years as a kid and still prefer the least amount wherever possible. Shit goes wrong, brain engages the non-recoverable evasive manoeuvre alarm and you go *Feet out and jump the fuck off* Lost an old friend and brilliantly talented rider who was caught up and dragged by her horse for several minutes the biggest irony being the early version of safety stirrups she had that were felt to have done more harm than good. Had she been in standard irons chances are she may have fallen off clean at least much sooner. Wherever you can and as soon as you can - get off. Same thing I've seen people do which is hang on to reins or a lead rope for dear life when they're on the ground and being dragged by their horse like a John Wayne stunt double. Let go of the reins FFS. The guy I saw dragged halfway across a field holding onto a lead rope we'd already shortened and knotted to avoid getting tangled up if the horse legged it which he was in a habit of doing. The shortened rope meant he was literally right under its feet and horse was in his own field not headed straight for rush hour traffic on the motorway. Have "LET IT GO.... LET IT GO!!!" in my head now. One to bring out for the next person we see refusing to let it go when they can't hold it back anymore. *Let the horse rage OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNN!!! The lead rope is shortened up anyway*

[@milljonsson8161]

Ok I know but can't help but to think how much that rein pulling must hurt in the horse's mouth.

[@farahroeland8671]

you are right BUT the rider had lost both stirrups and was trying to hang on because she/he probably knew that the horse would bolt, but I totally agree with you that you shouldn't be yanking on the reins that hard.

[@elliehensey7691]

Yes she could've grabbed the front of saddle n pulled herself round but these riders aren't taught to not death grip on the reins so shes just hanging on his mouth with her whole body weight it's really not good, I think riders need to be taught how to fall well

True but I agree with Farah, sometimes we go into full shock and when you loose both stirrup you are just hanging on for dear life. She was probably terrified and went into panic mode.

[@animangle8479]

I slid off the side of my horse not too long ago, the girth was loose and I body slammed the metal fence at a show. The noise scared my poor guy and he took off, the saddle under his belly, galloping, bucking while I stood there, he made one horse rear and once they caught him, he was shaking, you could see him shaking from 200 feet away I'm sure. I got back on, and the saddest part was that that was literally the most applause I ever got.

A cowboy buys a horse from the town pastor. The pastor explains, “To make the horse go, you gotta yell, ‘Thank God!’ And to make it stop, yell, ‘Hallelujah.’” The cowboy rides away. He rides all day and starts to nod off in the saddle when he notices he is about to ride straight over a cliff. Searching his memory, he yells to the horse, “Hallelujah! Hallelujah!” The horse grinds to a stop just at the edge of the cliff. The cowboy wipes the sweat off his forehead. “Phew!” the cowboy sighs. “Thank God!”....

I had my first show today... and my horse seemed very tense and hot even when I was just grooming her. I was in the warm up arena and she just bolted out, she started cantering towards my family and I yelled for everyone to get out of the way. I tried pulling her in circles and everything. I fell but I was not injured. Everybody was okay. She ended up galloping 1.5 miles all the way to her pasture. I got a decent score on my test even though I was still in shock of the situation. It was so scary and it shook my confidence as a rider.

Horses change shape when someone is riding them, so a girth that was tight when she got on could be lose after a few minutes. Its happened to me before, the saddle didn't slip but it was too loose for jumping.

[@ollieedwards4155]

This is why the first thing I was taught before even properly riding, was how to emergency dismount. My horse freaked out the other week and was bucking and rearing non stop, we were right by a road and the safest thing to do was to emergency dismount. If I hadn’t, I would’ve fallen off and he would’ve run into the road. Edit: used the wrong “road” 🤣🤦‍♀️

[@beckybishop4371]

why didn't she bail? The first thing I would have done was jump off over trying to rip my horses lower jaw off. THIS is why people shouldn't ride in bits.

Not much of a bolting horse. Actually seems to be a rather calm horse. Perhaps naughty on top of the loose girth, but remarkably calm horse considering the circumstances. "Yeah, I'm free of this rider, let's head on home" seems to be the attitude of this horse.

[@ghovlogs7438]

[@adoerfler]

She had no control, so when her saddle slipped she could not recover. Teach your horse that 'whoa' means all four feet stop, be consistent and don't use it to mean 'slow down'.

[@larkynhendren9854]

it’s kind of hard for most people to slow their horses down at the end of cross country courses, so it would be even more difficult when your horse doesn’t think that they are done

[@Caz_Hamilton]

Time, woah means slow down. I want my horse to slow, as she is a 4 year old, so I was taught to saw woah. I don't want her thinking it's a four feet stop, as then when she gets exited mid-course while jumping, I'm screwed.

[@hannahdyson7129]

Was she ok? She landed on her neck? Could have ended badly

[@yvettek3753]

After reading some of the comments, figured I would weigh in. The obvious problem was the saddle slipping. Whether loose girth, too much padding, or the horses confirmation, I don't know. As for the rider, once on the side of the horse there is not much to do as far as control goes. I see it as this rider wanted to compete, so was doing everything they could to try to right the situation. The rider at a couple of points could have just dismounted, but that would have counted as a fall and eliminated her from the rest of the course right then. They were trying to right the saddle and finish the course. They took the fall rather than quit.

[@yvettek3753]

Have seen plenty of western saddles slip. Depending on what I'm doing, I've ridden in both and find a well fitted jump saddle to be more secure and often more comfortable than a western saddle. Western saddles are better for barrel racing and roping and easier to tie saddle bags to. ;)

If you are going to fall off like this person, in my opinion you should just fall off, not lean to the side while pulling the reins so tight that it must be uncomfortable, and making the saddle slide farther, which scared the horse when the rider finally did fall off.

She was clearly trying to stop the horse and pulled on the reins quite hard. Why didn't the horse just stop?
