Pony eating grass whilst riding

Hi all, just wondered if anyone has any advice for me to pass on to my daughter. She's been loaning a pony for the last 8 weeks and he's been fine. But the last couple of weeks whilst she's riding he keeps pulling his head down to eat the grass and tonight she came off, he put his head down and she went over his neck. Luckily the farmer from the yard came over and we managed to calm her down and get her back on. She started to slowly trot round again and he did it again whilst in trot and she flew off again. She's slightly hurt her arm but is OK. I just wondered if anyone had any advice on anything we could try to stop him doing this as I don't want her to be scared to ride as she's been doing so well.
