The first time I fell off was actually my first time on a horse. It was a warning sign from God that I didn't listen to saying don't ride the horses!...lol. I was very very very young, and on an old horse. Well, he tripped up and being an inexperienced young rider, I went right over his neck. He wan't very big either...about 14 hands...Thank God.
