the reason i'm asking is that some horses get fractious in the gate, the jock comes off sometimes while they calm the horse. so technically those horses aren't under weight the entire time...that's allowed, but a horse dumping it's rider and taking off isn't?

My understanding of the rule is that if the horse dumps it's rider, they have to bring the horse back (after it's caught) to the spot where the rider "got off," at which point the rider has to get back on.
