He rides a ram which is far closer to the ground and has a lower centre of mass. So in this situation, when Italie shot the ram, it would've been very easy to dismount without injury, plus she's kinda provoking a feud between two highly unstable factions that would happily uise this as kindling to fight... I'm not saying Farnin was injured, I'm merely saying she tried to stop him following her. The method used works on almost every mount, besides.

But a ram wouldn't fall from an arrow to the stomach, it'd stagger but it's centre of mass makes it highly unlikely to fall. Plus you can't deny you've sparked a very dark feud.
