I’ve had a lot of falls (who hasn’t!) but the one that was the worst happened a few years ago. The barn photographer was taking pictures of my class’ lesson and forgot to turn the flash off. Suffice to say, the horse absolutely flipped out. Stuck between trying to bail and riding it out, I actually ended up getting dragged about 20 feet through a gravel ring. Miraculously (thanks to my helmet) – I had some cuts on my back and a few bruises (pride included) but I was alright.
