How my Scared Horse Looks like! 🫨🐎😱

#horse #pony #equestrian
It is very important that the horses have a good reaction to unexpected things that get them scared. They can feel the confidence of the rider and feel more "protected".
This happened when we were in the middle of a riding lesson and, suddenly, a truck passed by the arena pulling a very noisy trailer.
We didn't capture the reaction of my horse Solo when that just happened, but we wanted to make this video anyway, and show you how good he reacted to the very scary moment.
I felt his heart with my leg, bumping really fast. At the end, I am very proud of him, and that is another time that Solo showed how much he has matured and grown.
That makes me feel more confident to be with him is shows and busy situations.
One thing I can tell you... there is a lot ground work behind this behavior.

That’s good he didn’t bolt, now that would be quite a ride. 😃 he’s doing good. 🐎 ❤

I guess its first time Solo reacted like this.I think it could have been anything from the area with the trees. I wouldnt worry much about since its a one time occasion. You looking better with each video and Solo is getting more and more ready for competition 👍👍💥💥

Solo used to spook when he was younger. That’s natural on horses and they get better as they mature. He had a very good reaction this time, what makes me happy. The video does not capture the moment when he got scared or how loud the trailer was… but we saw that as an important step on Solo behavior 👍
