Sorry to hear of your fall and hope it is mostly your ego : - )) that is bruised and your body is not too injured.... Only you can write something that can make it amusing - in your description. Holding back a really hot horse is a challenge because if he can't go forward then the 'energy' has to be displaced somewhere and some horses buck if they can't go forward. What kind of bit are you riding him in? Is he often quite forward or mostly in large groups? I would suggest that you try something as a balance rein with whatever bit you are using. It would help steady him back without tightening his neck which just makes him more tense and then forward - or in his case sideways and upside down. I will send you a pdf of the article - different from the neck ring. Take lots of arnica if you have any and a hot bath with Epsom salts....
