Default What side do you fall off?
Not wishing to tempt fate or anything, but I was musing about all the times Stan and I parted company and I realised that I always fall off on the left.

Is this because I am unbalanced and sitting towards the left or because I am right-handed but left-legged or is it because that is the safer side of the road?

Please add your thoughts.

You missed 'headfirst' off the list of options, I mostly go over the handlebars with Tilly

Almost always left but I think that is because of the way Bo spooks...always in the same direction so I always fall off the same side! lol My poor left bum cheek has taken a hell of a pounding over the years!

Most horses are right "handed" so if they went to the right I think its natural to come off over the left shoulder. I almost only ever come off when jumping anyway so horse darts right in front of the jump and I go left lol!
