Wow, Caiti, don´t play it down: "I am ok" is not right, as you must have had a shock and were limping until the end. But you show, how tough you are, physically fit and mentally strong enough, to deal with such an adventure. Good girl!
Jake was certainkly shocked too - but he was wonderful remaining calm, no panic - just waiting for you to tell him what to do. You were his mum to console her little boy.
How did you finish that story? Walking and talking with him? Riding again?
@heinzstoffregen Compared to what could have happened we both were okay. I jammed my wrist and it hurt, but nothing that was fine within a week. Well I walked him around for a while making sure he was doing alright, then got back on and did one lap at a walk around the arena and got off and call it a day.
you dont want his nose going past his chest though, that would overbend him and possibly throw him more off balance. theres a 9 year old reiner at my trainer's who has won almost everything reining in our state who has the same problem of falling on his inside shoulder, i dont know what i would do if he ever fell on me though. hahah. glad you are both ok
omg i would have been terrified! the ground wasnt too muddy though, jake was really leaning to the inside so much that he wasnt able to get his legs out from under him. you can do some 'stand up' exercised with him by lifting whichever rein you want him to bend his neck to and crossing it so your hand just passes the middle of his neck and fluff with both legs making sure he really stands up.
@razrbladefaerie I was actually working on it in this clip. Right before this fall I remember I had bumped with an out side leg, and had asked him to pick his shoulder up. A stride after he picked himself up he leaned hard right into this part.
Yeah its not fun. I didn't even have time to try and get out of the saddle. I blinked and I was on the ground. lol
I think its amazing even during the crazyness he settled down and waited for you to let him know it was alright to get up. Shame about the fall but its great to hear you were both alright. Can get scary when you suddently notice the ground is getting closer for some strange reason.
@HondaThoru Yeah, its a habit that I actually didn't teach into him too much. Before I taught him to lay down we had a few accidents where Jake ended up on the ground, (The bridle broke and he tried jumping over a barbwire fence, pulled back in crossties and fell) Both times once he was on the ground he stayed there. Pretty scary cause we had no way of getting him up for around 20 minutes. Luckily know with teaching him to lay down, he gets up when asked.
damn, that sucks. good yall got up tho

@charlieboy1091 I saw your video =o makes mine look like a walk in the park. Very scary when the horse just goes out from underneath you.
Yeah, its so much easier to make sure he is okay and untangled while he is still down before he tries to get up.

Dang! That happened to me the other week. I was cantering my POA bareback and we fell and she smashed my leg. It was scary! Hope you were both okay.

@TheHorseySophie Yeah it looks pretty bad, I'm just lucky we were barely moving at the canter. Thank you, I am too.
