you have history of fall down from horse and after that history of blacked out for 5 min. and this may be due to some injury to the brain so first of all do MRI and EEG which may be suggestive of YOU may have Seizure disorder. and give me full detail like whether you have such episode frequency , associated symptoms etc. if reports have any abnormality then start anti epileptic treatment and if reports normal and only one episode dont worry much about that as one episode may be due many reason
