Today, my idiot horse decided to grab a mouthful of stinging nettles while I was riding him. He panicked at the burning sensation in his mouth and bucked me off. Don't worry, though, my fall was cushioned, by the nettles. FML

Today, I fell off my bike. I grazed my knee, shin, thigh, hip, collar bone, shoulder and face. I also strained my wrist. As I was wheeling my bike away, I stung my other leg on nettles. FML
Today, I was putting my horse away into her pasture, when I slipped in the mud. In a haisty attempt to support myself, I grabbed the electric fence in on hand, and my horse with the other. The shock from the fence traveled through me to her, sending her running and leaving me with 2 broken teeth. FML
Today, I was riding my newly trained horse. I've recently been suffering from bad gas, and ended up farting so violently, it spooked my horse into bucking me off and running away. FML
Today, I was riding a new horse when a lawnmower starting up spooked her. She jumped straight up in the air and I landed directly on the saddle horn. I can't walk or feel anything between my legs. FML
Today, while riding a massive draft horse, the horse thought it would be fun to walk under a very low apple tree that sat level with his back. A branch hit me and made me fall off onto a coil of barbed wire, twisting my ankle in the process. FML
Today, my dad tried to help me overcome my intense fear of horses (due to nearly being killed by one as a child) by taking me to a ranch. Within 30 minutes, a horse bit my face. FML
Today, I went horseback riding with this guy I like. I asked him to help me get on the horse. I slipped, and while trying to keep my balance, I kicked him in the face. FML
Today, I was horseback riding. Somebody yelled something behind me, so I turned around. Next thing I know, I am on the ground and my head is killing me. It turns out I ran into a tree branch. The person behind me simply said, "Watch out!" FML
Today, my horse farted and scared itself, then ran all the way up the hill and wouldn't stop until I fell off. FML
Today, not only did my horse step on my foot & refuse to move, he also took the opportunity to crap on my other foot while I was incapable of moving. FML

That's why I always steer clear of extreme sports such as horse riding.

It's not usually as bad as this situation, you just have to learn how to land and then always get back on unless something is broken.

I know your pain. When I was little I once fell into six foot high plants of that stuff.

mud. Make mud and rub it on your body... We had stinging nettle at a summer camp I worked at for a summer and the kids always got it... oddly enough, they were also the ones that taught me that trick...

Rub some docking leaves on them. Should get rid of the stinging feeling. If you don't know what they look like, they have quite wide leafs, which are low to the ground, and are found near to nettles or thistles.

Here's an idea, don't ride anywhere near stinging nettles. If you weren't bucked off because the horse ate it, you probably would have been because his legs were stinging

You must understand that, like many things, horse riding comes with many dangers. After all, you are trusting something living with a mind of its own to carry you around. And OP knows that. Sure it is dangerous, but also addictive. And very fun.
