How do “Stunt Horses”( I’m assuming they must be a thing) fall safely, especially with a rider? It can’t all be CGI…

Question

I’m just really hoping it’s not as bad as it looks.

Almost every scene in older westerns but applies still. Watch when the horses fall while running. The rider always pulls on just one reign and the horses head turns almost all the way back to the saddle. They lose balance and can’t see where their feet are going and trip.
