Is this actually possible ?

Can you actually ride a horse off a cliff ?

Wouldn't it stop on its own ?

No? Why would it stop without human intervention? Horses get stuck in holes and ditches all the time.

Horse have a higher weight than humans. You'd need a stronger bridge.

Even then you and the horse would die from fall damage unless if you had Slow Falling II or Feather Falling applied to you.

"fall damage" lol
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I suppose it would come down to training and trust in the rider. Most horses would probably get spooked when it got near rocks or a dropoff. Horses are timid creatures despite their large presence.
