@@clarev7931 This is the first time for me , she was always so good , Deer in the woods and being bitless and also having stupid bungee attachments on the reins lead to this 😂😂😂

She was saying woah which is a sound to slow your horse down

Everyone's a critic 😂😂😂

Correction "I had no control on this horse on this occasion" .... And there were many reasons why this went very wrong , but thank you for your comments.

Flogged and privileged.....really !!!😂😂😂

Flogged and privileged!!!! Really .....😂😂😂

Thank you for your input, ....I had no control, not in any way disputing that, very much a big tack error on my part and the deer didn't help me either ...👍

Thank you xx

Thank you ❤️😁

Thank you for your comments ... especially the young lady part 💖 ... I know how to do a one rein stop ... The tracks are narrow in these woods ....fencing, trees, logs and covered rough ground to name but a few of the obstacles that made a one rein stop even more dangerous..... The fact that we were bitless and in bungee reins also meant that I was pulling on nothing .... We hacked those woods all the time before and after this and never had a problem again .... In all our riding lives we all have that one time and this was mine .... And yes bitless and bungee reins had a lot to do with this ... certainly not the best tack decision I have ever made but certainly added to the deer spook ..x

You shouldn't let this put you off ....

Thank you, I am glad you were ok too 😊 xx

Don't be put off by this , live your dream and no regrets ❤️❤️❤️

Horses need more work than just walking in a pasture. That will make them deteriorate early on. It's like never taking your dog on walks

I didn't run my horse ...my horse ran me !!

@@lindagant6254 You had your horse running b4 he even saw the deer. If you were walking, this never would of happened.

Hi Susan , I can 💯 tell you we were walking ...the deer are not seen on this or the initial spook ...I had pressed the go pro remote after ... But thank you for your input x

@@lindagant6254 Also... If you would of had your horse "collected" you would of been able to stop him from running off on you and you having no way of stopping him. I never ride my horses uncollected cuz anything can happen at anytime and you need to be prepared. A collected horse you can stop from being a run away simply by turning him in a tight circle as soon as he starts to run and can stop a bad situation from starting. May I suggest you learn how to collect your horses when riding.

@@susanciaramella9472 Uhh.. Horses can definitely still bolt even when they're collected lol😂

Thank you xxx

Learn the one reign stop!

That is ridiculous advice. The best way to stop is to bend your horse and if the horse is already galloping best start on the ground and sort out your horses yeilds first then ride.

@@unitedausprotests2237That's true, if you have room to do a "One Rein Stop". However, on a narrow trail (as in this clip), and with a horse that's already got up a head of steam, that may not be possible. I have been practising tight turns at a gallop with my mare and she needs at least a six-metre diameter turning circle to turn, when she's going full pelt, and that's extremely tight! (that's the width of a standard road, BTW). Also, that's on a dirt track. I know from experience that she skids on asphalt, doing that type of tight turn. Yes it was a bolt, she turned herself 180 and skidded before bolting home. I maintained my seat through that and she soon found her feet again, but it was close! I then resorted to Plan B because there was no kerbside room to do a One Rein and she'd almost gone a cropper already, doing that sort of turn in her state of mind on the asphalt! That was earlier on in her training, and she's progressed considerably since then. I don't see that sort of space to do a "One Rein Stop" at the speed she's travelling at, here, on this trail. That's why I recommended my Plan B. Incidentally, I've done hundreds of hours of groundwork with my mare. I have only begun galloping her in the last month or so. I love to gallop and for over 10 years have only had gaited horses to ride, that wouldn't gallop under saddle, no matter how much you urged them! She has always had a "Go Button", I like her "Go Button" but much of her training has been teaching her how to control it, and only "Go" when Mumma says so! I wouldn't be riding my girl at that sort of speed unless I was absolutely sure of her safety, and when she slips "up a gear" on the trail, I bring her back down, preferably with a half halt. But if she does bolt and I absolutely can't bring her down? I'll either ride it out or use my "Emergency Plan B", depending on circumstances such as the safety of the trail, traffic, the surface (Slippery Mud? Asphalt? Or Loose Dirt/Sand, where her feet are going to have a good chance of maintaining their grip?) Also, I'd consider if I really feel like going for 40 MPH, mile after mile, all the way home (as was the case with this lady). She has to stop sometime, after all... The "Rollkur" thing is for emergencies only, and definitely a last resort, not a first resort. I hope I have explained myself, and I wish you All the Best!

Haha fr

I totally agree with you and the older I get the more wary I become. If the horse wants to go it just goes. Very scary.

Explain to us - How an Emergencystop Looks like ,please !

I think it's better to just think of what happened and not focus on what could have happened x

I can tell you haven't ridden much in forests. Circling is often not at all safe (as in even more dangerous than keeping running) because on either side of the paths, there is thick undergrowth and sticks and branches. This won't stop a panicking horse from going in there but it can badly hurt itself (and the rider). One of our riding school horses is blind in one eye because as a youngster, she bolted off the path and stepped on a branch and the other end flew up and hit her in the face.

@@tfrtrouble Ride all the time in woodlands that is where we breed, raise, train and get ready to show . the video lots of places to do a tight circle or run up towards an object.

@@lhl9010 Oh that's worrying (that you actually live near the woods and do this). If you know the woods well, you could maybe pick a place you know is safe to circle even at speed, but riding at a tree with an out of control bolting horse at full gallop is one of the most dangerous ideas I've heard. A wall sure, e.g. if you're in a riding arena, but a tree is not a substantial barrier; an out of control horse may well just swerve round. If you're lucky, the horse ignores you completely and just goes past the tree. Worst case, it swerves sideways at the last minute, hurling you into the tree at speed, which is a kind of fall that carries a very high risk of serious injury. And the fact that you train horses but think a fit (spooked) horse will never run for a few minutes without pushing is just baffling. There are lots of times where people fall off and their spooked horse keeps running and lands up miles away, or runs round and round the arena for minutes before it can be stopped, without any rider "pushing it on".

@@tfrtrouble what is worrying is someone letting a horse run to exhaustion, I am not new to horses

@@lhl9010 Ok but you didn't say the rider "let" the horse run to exhaustion, you said the horse was not running willingly but the rider pushed it on to keep running. Maybe say what you actually mean, rather than something totally different, and people won't argue with you.

A risky strategy. Some horses will jump the gate 😝

You can't say "this sound means go to a horse". All human sounds are artificial to them and they need to be taught what they mean. There is no universal stop sound; it varies by country and person. For example, in Germany, they use a high chirping prrrrrp sound that would mean "go faster" in many other countries. And I know many people who ask their horse to come with a kiss sound but my friend's horse is trained to pick up canter (even from a halt) on that sound. Anyway sounds with a falling tone (like the hoo-oo in the video) are a pretty common stop or slow signal.

I agree that this horse isn't fully spooked anymore after the initial fright, but it doesn't look like she's running because she thinks the rider wants her to; it looks like she's bolting back to the yard. This ear back and forwards thing can mean listening but it can also mean "I can hear you but I'm not listening". That also explains why she conveniently lands up back at the yard and then stops even though the rider hasn't changed her riding. The horse achieved what it wanted and thus stopped.

@@tfrtrouble "I can hear you but I'm not listening" yees :) It's that... Mine was doing that and I let her to canter a bit as long as it was safe, and didn't ask more to slow down (I did want her to "desobey"), I just asked when I had the feeling she had enought and was ok to slow down, better than to have a "fight" with her (stubburn spanish/arabian mare with a lot of energy, but very smart and safe outside, very trustable horse in front of "danger" or stange thinks or suden noise, she was curious and brave so she stopped and look before). And I know how to handle her during 26 years too... And I also had some terrible rides with other and real "spooked" horse (or very disobedient and crazy horses, unstoppable and running fast during 2kms in the middle of a forest on a trail with a lot of trees and curves.. no go pro camera 25 years ago ha ha ha).

@@tfrtrouble yes, there is many ways, but this sound, it’s too energetic to slow down I mean... all her words and scream, it is more "scary" and motivate the speed alas, even if we are afraid, we must have a calm voice, otherwise it worsens the problem...

@@baswordfish Aw your mare sounds adorable. I don't mind horses that are a bit stubborn or naughty sometimes but I just find it stressful if they are "silly" and spook every time a leaf moves. I used to ride a horse where the owner warned me she is scared of the "saber-toothed tigers" in the forest :P
