Bless her! Even if you’re not hurt, you feel embarrassed. And the ground gets harder the older we get!?!

Apollo said " I'm sorry that rider fell off her horse, but at least I'm at the front now and I can do a walk that is almost a slow canter😋" Apollo is always so perfectly behaved and patient when everything comes to a stop😍.

I’m glad no one was hurt. I’ve gone off a horse 2x. First was the first time I trotted in an English saddle. The second time I was taking a lesson & my horse went sideways. I hit his neck, broke my jaw & fell off. Was back on a month later.

So pleased to know that the rider was okay after her mishap think most of the riders need to do a bit more in hand work to build up their horses confidence it seemed that some were not quite ready for a group avent. Your work with Apollo over the years showed how important the ground work is for rider and horse. 🐎🐎💖🥕🥕🍎

[@jeanettelemay4521]

Interesting to see how this ride went….so different from the more well trained horses and experienced riders! Apollo and Tara are doing their best under these circumstances…too bad to have to be so hampered by this situation but I suppose it’s a good one for Apollo to show his beautiful training and manners. Please give him an extra reward for such a “trying day at work”! ❤

I’m so glad the lady on the ground was fine, good wishes for her. Apollo is almost a wonder horse, he behaves so beautifully you must be so proud of him. He stands when told, he canters when invited too, I think you could not wish for a more co- operative and well behaved horse. It is a real pleasure to watch him in action. I am wondering if your quiet way of talking, so not threatening, makes your horses especially good.

I'm glad that the lady wasn't hurt. A fall like that can knock the wind out of you and it takes a minute to get breathing normal again.

[@madelineevans128]

Hi Tara. I am very sorry the lady fell off and needed to go back. This ride is really different from what you and your subscribers were expecting based on your previous hunt rides. Very different.

[@pennywebb867]

I fell splat on my back getting out of the tub about 9 years ago. 62 yes old. It knocked the wind out of me and it took me a minute or two to gather my wits and call 911. I didn't try to get up until the EMT 's were there to help me. When you're older those falls take a "minute" to recover from. Looks like that's what that rider was experiencing. Glad she was alright. Apollo kept saying, "where's that silly horse who couldn't take care of his rider?!? Wld never happen on my watch! " 😊❤

[@Tara101]

TFS ♥️♥️♥️

[@sidilicious11]

I went splat on my back off my horse when he spooked 2 years ago. Knocked the wind out of me and was a shock to my body. I was on him bareback and didn’t se the spook coming so it was a surprise. I was 66 and it took me a few months to recover. I still haven’t ridden my horse more than 15 minutes at a time since. It’s hard to get my confidence back since my horse is very green and needs more training to carry a rider.

[@ForceFreeTrainergirl06]

I feel sure you were glad to get to the end of that ride! I mean it was such a sedate ride, that I'm astonished someone came off. Glad she's OK. I wonder if the horses were acting up because they were frustrated at being made to walk most of the way instead of getting some energy out .

[@janetpownall4249]

I think you are right about the horses getting frustrated but also if they had been canterimg maybe a few more of this lot would have fallen off!

[@maggsm3392]

Maybe they would have been better to trot along for a while just to get rid of the stop start thing. Horses get more of chance to look at things and shy if they're constantly walking plus its easier for them to kick out at other horses when they all stop and bunch up. Get them all moving I say! lol

Wow. who knew such drama on a horse ride. Not sure I could deal with being "herded" around like that. I have watched and applauded and wondered at times if I could be so even tempered when riding in a group. Glad everyone is okay. Apollo is a champ, again. :)

[@ren-uz2mz]

Very glad the lady was not injured and hope she rides again. You have to ride in a group to learn to ride in a group, but might have better to have a larger number of volunteers to assist and guide, less need to shout so much, and perhaps the beginners divided in to two smaller groups. Grey horse I think had Apollo's 'Go now please please please' but not so well-behaved, or perhaps just more stressed by it all...

[@bevbremer2680]

Love how Apollo does his thing. Such a slow run, then trot and the Apollo walk. 💗💗🐎🐎👍👍👍 So glad the lady wasn't hurt. That could have been really bad.

[@maggsm3392]

oh boy if I could find a nice smooth track like that where I ride in Aus I'd be cantering that's for sure. What a waste of a ride! I know you have to wait for the rest of them but that ride leader constantly stopping and swinging her horse sideways across the track would drive me insane.

[@reeritz1280]

Glad to hear the lady was ok...I bet she was both scared & embarassed. All that stopping & starting had to make ALL the horses jumpy. Again, had they did a controlled gallop at the beginning might have taken some of the edge off. One never knows how long it's been between rides...those horses shut in too long want to GO (while they can)!

Bonsoir Tara et Rens Quelle chute! Cela m a fait penser à Yvonne des Fresians horses qui a fait une très mauvaise chute alors qu elle est tres expérimentée. C est là que nous avons pu voir combien Apollo est un cheval sécurisant. Il est resté à l écoute et calme. Par contre j ai cru que le cheval blanc allait le frapper.

[@jjbud3124]

That was some ride! I bet the next time you'll choose the "fast" group. 😁 I went off a horse once and landed on my tailbone. It took months for that to stop hurting me. I may have cracked it. Another time I was on the hottest horse at the stable and he unexpectedly took off on me and I slipped to the side. I managed to hang on for a good minute or two, riding on one side of the horse, one stirrup. If you've ever seen a Roy Rogers movie where he "hides" behind a galloping horse shooting at the bad buys, you have some idea. The horse finally got uncomfortable enough with being off balance he slowed down and I regained my seat. That was one wild ride.

Cometh the hour cometh the horse thinks Apollo, let a real herd leader get to the front, no more faffing around, no more stop starting, just a gentle pace so that other horses who can’t seem to control themselves or their riders see how to behave, as for bucking your rider off, what terrible manners, that horse needs a good talking to from their herd leader. Now I’m in front apart from a white horse who seems far too full of their own importance jogging along sideways, not wanting to be passed by an experienced herd leader who can be trusted in a crisis such as today. 🐎🐎🐎🐎 Very happy to hear the fallen rider was OK but I bet she was very bruised.

Glad the faller was ok. I kind of feel like this wasn’t a well thought out or planned ride. There should always be more than one person who knows the route, and there should be a plan incase of a fall. It was obvious that there were people in that ride that needed to go slow, and people whose horses were not happy with the pace. Whilst it’s good practice to teach horses to adapt, I think in this situation the ride should have been split to two groups.

[@bethje30]

You are so right Tara. The one in the front should keep the pace correctly. Because with the jogger in front there will be gaps that will cause all kinds of trouble for novice riders. The best would have been a calm horse in front, the group close together, two by two and a higher pace. Trotting, trotting, trotting and a canter. But for a group canter the riders will need to be able to control their horses.😵

“My horse is growling at yours so...” it’s petty but people like that annoy me. If your horse has the problem then its your responsibility to get it out the way - don’t expect other people to move. Im glad you and Apollo were okay tho, have too much manners if you ask me :)
