Falling off because the horse did something and I don't know why destroys my confidence. If I know why the horse did what ever it did that caused the fall, it doesn't bother me so much. That's why with my mare, I finally had to give up on her. I could never figure it out.
About 2 years ago Rusty dumped me, and I got hurt pretty good, But it never really botherd me because I knew what happened and why. Some deer jumped up right under us when we were long trotting down a trail. Heck they startled me. I could very well blame him for spinning away. We had so much forward motion going that I just couldn't stay with him.
I did slow down for a while when going past that spot, but it never made me afraid to ride him.

I did see that footage of the horse on the catwalk. Looks pretty scary indeed.
We're out of here... going somewhere cool for a few hours.
