Fall Like A Hedgehog

Tracy sent this to me today: "How to Fall

If you know you are going to fall, try to kick your feet free of the stirrups. Ideally you’ll have one of those long slow descents that leave you sitting on your backside with your horse looking down at you in surprise. If not, try to roll out of the way of your horse’s legs. Don’t stick your arms out to break your fall as this may increase the chances of breaking a bone, or having parts sticking out that the horse may step on. Instead think of curling like a hedgehog."
