They were unhorsed but not killed. They would have been left naked and invisible and would have had to slowly make their way back to Mordor on their own. Once in Mordor, they were reclothed and provided again with both horses and winged steeds to ride. The Nazgul fell into the river Bruinen on 30 October 3018 and were not seen again until Legolas shot the winged steed of one of them on 23 February 3019. So in the 3 1/2 months they made there way back to Mordor.

I think this question has already been answered, but anyway: they could not pursue the Fellowship because (as Pohuist pointed out) the Nazgûl did not know of the existance of the Fellowship. How could they? Through spies, you might say: and although that is possible I think it a bit far-fetched. The only possible place they could have been spotted and ratted out to Sauron was Caradhras, and they weren't there very long. In Moria there were only the Orcs and the Balrog, and I think it is said in the book that none of them would pass eastward alive.. And in Lothlórien no evil thing dwells. So there.

The Nazguls just didn't know where Frodo was.And something else I would add.Sauron believed that the One was in Minas Thirit so there was no need of pursuing a little hobbit,but to concentrate most of his power in destroying Gondor.And the Nazguls were the chieves of his army,so they had more important mission-to lead the attack agains Minas Thirit.
