When you're actually falling try to roll, it helps minimize the hurtin' and possibility of broken bones. After that you get back up, cursing under your breath the whole time and probably making threats to the horse's well being. Then you dust the seat of your pants of, adjust your hat, and go catch the horse. If your horse is anything like the ones I know it will be standing watching you and looking confused, give it a pet on the nose and call it the dumbest creature on the face of the planet in the sweetest voice you can manage, then get your *** back on and do whatever you were trying to do when you fell off over again.

having been propelled off many over the years i can tell you that the best thing you can do is to curl yourself into as tight a ball as possible and that helps the animal to miss you .then get up,if you are only bruised,get straight back on again.after a while and many falls your brain speeds up and you will experience the fall in slow motion so that by the time you hit the ground you will know what position you are in,where your horse is in relation to you,and where any other horses are,you will be amazed how fast the body can react in this situation.

Depends how you hit the ground on your but or on your head!
If all bones are intact, just get up and straight back into the saddle once you have checked your horse over just in case you were thrown for a reason.
Remember you are not a rider until you have hit the ground 7 times, all to much to our own experience. Hee hee.
Just learn to love it, yes you have a sore but and some bruises but remember all the good times along the way as you pick up your rosettes and trophies.
As they say if you fall of a bike you get back on it, well think of your horse just like your bike.

What you are suppose to do is to get up and clean yourself off and then you get back on the horse because if you don't then the horse will sense that you are afraid of him and then he will not let you back on. The Horse will know that you are scared of him. Then you will have a hard time getting back on the horse. I have been on a horse for a long time and I helped a friend with her horses for over 3 to 4 years. I have been thrown off twice and bucked off once.

Pick yourself up. Dust your self off & Start all over again.
Never walk away from a horse that has thrown you. You are admitting to the horse he won that round. And believe me they will remember it for a long time. Get right back on then and there it may hurt but will save you from getting hurt again.

The last time I fell off a horse (Well actually the horse fell over backwards) I broke my shoulder and still got back on to ride her for another twenty minutes. I decided that was the last time I will finish breaking a horse. Either I will start it myself or leave it alone. The shoulder still bothers me.

If a person is uninjured following a fall from a horse, the best thing to do is to get right back on again.

i agree with the first answer, brush yourself off and get back on. you need to prove to your horse that bucking you off (even if it wasnt intentionally) isnt gonna stop you. when you fall, let go of the reigns, and go into a ball. dont try to break your fall too much with your hands because you might break your wrist. if your riding in an arena it should at least be a soft landing! good luck!

I could reply with a witty answer but i think safety is more important. A high number of riders forget to check them selves for injury before re-mounting (i heard of one who got back on with a dislocated shoulder). Check you're horse, check you self then re-mount when you feel safe and confident again to do so. Good luck hope this helps!

P.S: I fell when my horse bolted, i got back on thinking i felt fine, by the end i was in agony and could't walk. I should have walked my horse back to the yard, but i re-mounted because i only check my horse for injury not myself.

Preferably don't do what I did and break your back........god damn it hurts like hell.
But if you bounce better than I do the rule of thumb is that you get straight back on. Had I been able to do that my confidence wouldn't of taken such a battering as I would of got it out of the way already! I can't ride for 3 months so I'm getting less and less confidence as the days go by, I've got a friend schooling him whilst i'm out of action so that is helping because I know he will be fine for me.
