I'd probably go with the Soft Fall rules of Ride Skill.
Soft Fall (DC 15): You negate damage when you fall off a mount. If you fail the Ride check, you take 1d6 points of damage and are prone. This usage does not take an action.
If you pass then you avoided the damage and can be on your feet like a normal fall.

I'd use the Soft Fall rules if the mount was standing still, if it was charging at top speed I'd probably make it harder, like maybe DC 20 (though I'd also allow Acrobatics for those without Ride).
Also, I'd probably up the damage on a failed check to 1d6 per 10 feet of movement the horse had in the last round. Normal falling off a mount damage doesn't take into account have a large beast moving at a high rate of speed rolling over you.
Speed kills.

That's a lot of rules for what would only happen during an AoO or Readied Action. Otherwise, the horse is not moving.

If the rider is a Paladin, this thread becomes a stereotype.
The rider takes -1 to attack and weapon damage rolls for 30 days or until he levels up, and immediately goes into mourning for a week, after which he may replace his mount. He must make a DC 15 Fortitude saving throw or lose 200 xp per level; success reduces it to half of that. If the rider attempts to cast a spell without his mount worn or in hand, he must make a concentration check or lose the spell. The DC for this check is equal to 20+the spell's level. A rider who fails to revere his mount, changes to a prohibited alignment, or loans his horse to the wrong shifty rogue loses all spells and rider abilities. He may not progress any further levels as a rider. He regains his abilities and advancement potential if he atones (see the Atonement spell description).
THIS!
This is the the kind of beautiful b.s. I come to this message board for. You are now granted a +5 circumstance bonus on all cha based skills with me.

Answered in the Combat rules.
"If Your Mount Falls in Battle
If your mount falls, you have to succeed on a DC 15 Ride check to make a soft fall and take no damage. If the check fails, you take 1d6 points of damage.
If You Are Dropped
If you are knocked unconscious, you have a 50% chance to stay in the saddle (75% if you're in a military saddle). Otherwise you fall and take 1d6 points of damage. Without you to guide it, your mount avoids combat."
what happens to the rider? the rider has to buy a new mountAlthough there's no penalty for getting one slightly used, with a few hundred miles on it.
