Well, I used to have a big fear of falling of off my horse. She is a paint quarter horse standing 17 1/2 hands high. She is huge. My trainer realized I had this fear of falling off when I would grab the horn of my saddle while cantering. She got a few round bells of hay and made me sit on top of them and fall off deliberately. She taught me how to tuck my arms to my chest and fall on my back or behind. It would be better to have a bruised butt than a broken arm. So, this could be a strategy to try. Silly? Maybe. But most definitely effective.
If this doesn't help.. maybe you can try sitting a couch or something and rolling onto a softer surface and work your way up to higher starting points.
I hope this helped. Thanks. --Stephanie
