on how you fall?

actually I have played polo 😄 bit back though 😬 the most important thing is to not be scared, if you are tense it makes it harder ✅ You gotta relax and enjoy yourself 😄 it is great fun, and there is little chance of falling off unless you are doing something foolishly stupid 🙄

and the height of the horse, how tall you are and lots of other stuff

If you fall it's dangerous because you can get trampled 😖 but you have the reins to hold on to so don't worry, it's not hard 😄

k cerm calm yourself ✅ first off if you are just starting, 1.) they won't give you a fully aged horse ✅ he will definately be much smaller 😄 2.) do what you are told, and don't do foolish things, like riding without hands 3.) they don't just fall over you know 😛
