...I feel really pathetic for this one.

At my old barn, I was sitting on this pony named Hannah in the middle of the arena, bareback, while another girl was jumping, and her OTTB spooked and did a cat-jump over this little vertical, and I turned around to see w.tf just happened just and I slid off... Hannah was about to take off too so I kinda bailed :/

**EDIT** I LANDED ON MY FEET THOUGH x]

Call me Anna.

I was riding one of my trainer's green horn horse over some jumps. The saddle for him was way to small and the but strap was to tight. So when I encouraged him into a canter it slid forward and the poor horse freaked out and started bucking like a bronco horse. When I landed, I looked up and he was looking at me like "What the heck was that for?" (I got in trouble and had to clean the tackle for the whole barn the rest of the day.) That was definitely the most stupid fall ever. =)

I was warming Hunter at a show at our barn, I was bareback, in a halter (ok, ok, not quite a true warm-up but oh well) and I had put too much Showsheen on her. Some stupid person was setting up and EZup in the wind right next to the arena, and Hunter spooked, started cantering, and I slid off. Then one of the trainers saw and totally freaked. It was really embarassing.

Funniest: When my friend was trying to get up behind me (I was bareback on my old horse Spirit) And she wrapped her arms around my waist and basically pulled us both into a snowbank. That's what happens when a 14 year old puts all her weight onto an eleven year old on an arab that's shaped like a barrel!

I was on Welly. My friend Lyndsay was going to ride Axel, so she had him out in the hallway tacking up. I was just cooling out, so we were walking around the arena. Axel spooked and bolted down the aisle and ran out the door. Dawn called in for everyone to dismount because there was a loose horse. I took my foot out of the stirrups, and right as I was swinging my leg over her back Welly decided to spook xD She bolted across the arena and I landed on my butt. It was pretty funny.

A few months ago, I was riding this big, fat, lazy TB, Riser. I turned him to a teeny crossrail, and he was going waay to slow so I was kicking him and, without realizing it, digging my heels into his belly. He got mad and jumped it too early and incredibly awkwardly. He sorta stopped for a second, then took off in this huge leap. I wasn't expecting it, and my heels were up, so I popped out of the saddle and over his shoulder. We were in midair, so I wrapped my arms and legs around his neck until he stopped, then let go and fell on my butt. He stopped and looked at me sitting on the ground, looking incredibly confused at how I ended up down there.

Mushu black pony, was trotting really slow so, my instructor whipped him so he BOLTS into a canter. I have NO IDEA how I fell off. I may have slipped off the side, the front or the back. I just remember a BANG and laying flat on my back. I must have passed out for a second because I didn't know how I fell off.
