What To Do When Riding a Horse That Gets Out of Control

[@mdee860]

Such an important lesson. If more riders watched this - there would be a lot less accidents. It really goes back to groundwork lessons - don't move on to Step 2 if you don't have Step 1 completely under control and your horse remains calm. So many riders & trainers just want to move everything along, despite their horse telling them they're not ready. Thank you for another gem.

My way of thinking is that your horse is your partner, its not a one sided relationship and you have to work as a team because that's what you are. You do not need to control a horse, I think you need to communicate with it, so you and your horse both understand what you want/need of each other.

[@FlamingoFieldsFarm]

Much respect. I enjoy following your horse training videos but I must argue, yes, even good solid horses can become out of control. They are living beings, not machines. Therefor, us as riders must never take our safety for granted. I was just trail riding yesterday with a dear friend, her husband (a farrier and good horse trainer in his own right) and my husband. We were at the top of a small, heavily wooded mountain when a long twig her appox. 17hh horse stepped on came up and smacked him in the face, near his eye. My friend was thrown off and broke 5 ribs (one in two places) and broke her clavicle in three spots. She's getting ready for surgery right now as I type this. It took medics a very long time to get to her. She was in pain and couldn't move. We feared a broken back the way she landed. These are folks who ride regularly 5-6 hours at a time on these same trails, same horses. It can, and does, happen that your horse can lose control. Even if it is momentary, the results can be traumatic. This horse froze in place when she fell even with the human commotion. He didn't want to be naughty. He stood still for the quad, the gator and once to the road again, the ambulance. Life happens. Horses are unpredictable - period. I do enjoy your videos and your advice. Just felt compelled at this moment to share this. I had this video open two days ago and still was here when I got home from the hospital with my friend. Just want people to be careful, no matter their level or the level of their horse.

[@Rhodiebert85]

+Janet Ford Well, its just that life is not very predictable. My father is riding every day and has been for the past 50 years or so. I know sooner or later, his horse will come home without him, but that is his choice to make. If people are afraid or just thinking, that something might happen, then my advice to them would be not to go on a horse. A lot of them do it anyway and then say their horse is crazy. But thats all good, because that way people like Warwick and my dad can have a job they love doing.

[@candieland4276]

Absolutely! They have a mind of their own just as we do and there is no such thing as a permanently programmed horse! ...really I think that's why they are more fun than say, riding a motorcycle...they are unpredictable and at any moment decide that they don't feel like letting those tiny people control them any more!

6 years later I still like this video. Things I wish I knew when I was young and inexperienced. You haven't known real riding until you learn.. I don't have a word for it, but 'natural horsemanship' comes to mind. The language of the horse is simple but requires extreme consistency- pressure and release. You want him to move gently? Press his side gently and wait. Use only as much force as needed then immediately stop when you get a positive response. Works for backing up, walking on lead, and in the saddle. This isn't great for brand new riders though, as they don't know what to do with their feet yet and might end up with a well broke horse galloping due to pressing hard. Or a cutting horse that jerks sideways if you only tap one side and not both. Ground ahoy!

I love your approach and how you successfully project calm while talking. To me the answer to her question has to start at the very beginning -- learning how to groom and take care of a horse and the various physical and verbal things you can do to gain confidence between you and the horse on the ground. Later on, when riding and perhaps when spooked, then you need to be able to communicate through the saddle. Viewers should note how centered and balanced your seat is -- that's your primary communication to the horse; hands and voice are distant seconds.

[@dan13ljks0n]

I had an Arab/Morgan cross. Sometimes it's hard to keep a smart horse occupied & on task - they get bored so easily!

[@eliannoaks3101]

i used to have this problem too, when i was starting out. rule out pain, and if its not that, its behavioral. this is what i learned, and it has worked on every horse i have trained since: if your horse wants to move around, make him move, in tight circles on both sides, till he is begging you to rest. if you go and put your foot in the stirrup, and he moves away again, repeat, and help him move, but you be in control of his feet, and how fast hes moving. the fast he moves, and the tighter he does it, the more unpleasant and hard it will be. he will figure out that if he chooses to move, then he is going to be made to move, and then moving doesn't seem like a good idea after that. when you stick your foot in the stirrup, and he stands. reward him, by taking your foot out, and standing with him. its pressure/making the wrong thing hard/ and making him move, when hes being naughty, and release/making the right thing easy, rewarding him for standing still. if you try that several times, and inch by inch get your foot in, then swing up, and then sit in the saddle, while he stands, he will hold still when you mount, because standing will be the easy thing to do, since running around in circles, till hes begging to stop is very unpleasant and hard. thats pressure and release, or making the wrong thing hard, and the right thing easy, as they are one in the same. i hope that helps.

[@PetPrepRadioShow]

Nice video-This is good solid advice here- Lemonkisses, Honestly, If your horse is running off while lunging, and throwing his head up quite a bit-Neither you or he/she isn't ready for the show ring. You should wait until you and your horse have more experience together and you have solved your problems-the deal is--if you are having this level of problem at home, it will be magnified 10000 times in a show situation. You are just looking for trouble by showing at this stage. Showing is for horses that are under control and well trained. That is how you win! :) Hope that this helped!

I had Perchron stud that would ruh through the bridle past a fast trot , I would head him toward a post , he he would stop. Dumb idea I guess on the day I decided to open the gate and take his first ride he ran through the bit again , but when I headed him toward a post it had rained early before he locked up , then slid about 20ft. took off an turned so fast , my knee barley scratched the bottom barb and I hit the post on my hip. When I got up and the red clouds faded I seen how his great thinking and strength saved us both from going through a fence , had my son catch him got on said open the gate he was perfect , never ran through the bridle again. A stud horse will actually behave better , out they love to explore and will settle down.

This is a very good man (soul).

[@lucyb8802]

I like the way he stroked the horse instead of smacking it, it makes me cringe when people do that (I still don't like bits though)

[@mohammedbedsapour7503]

Great job. Usually these type of horses in the USA are abused and trained roughly. Nice to see you save one.

[@titandragon753]

Awesome vid. yes one would hope that we have our horses under control before it escalates to a galloping buck.

I am in love with this Andalusian ❤❤❤ gorgeous!

[@horseygurl143]

Gigantic horse! Good job with him!

[@cynthiamarston2208]

Thats the stab the thigh rein position. I kinda learned a different rein hold which only requires a twist of the wrist position. Its in front middle cock the thumb away from direction of stomach to the sky. For some reason you get a larger circle not a spin type action prequel to stop.

Very well done, excellent video. When you mounted him his feet were pretty close to being directly under him. That way he did not feel like he was going to lose his balance. Nice job.

I always ask for the bend on both sides just before getting on. Physically speaking it’s easier for them especially tensed horses ( cod once you re ON and they tense up ... yup it goes up). But cool video and very wise funny moments. 🙏🙌

It's so very sensible to start a horse without a bit in its mouth! Why add the new sensations - uncomfortable and potentially painful sensations - when everything else is also new? They're fully familiar with the halter and there's a mighty small chance of possibly hurting a horse with reins on a halter, compared to any kind of bit. I trained my first horse from liking people but barely halter trained, to winning my 4-H and open horse shows and riding through town and forest alone. I trained my second horse from an unhandled 18 month old stud colt to winning those fun shows and riding a couple thousand miles through 8 states and 11 years of happy partnership. Started both of them and all my horses since, in a simple flat halter. The bit comes along after they understand the rest of the job.

You are simply great, Warwick!

[@voiceofwisdom9596]

Such a beautiful horse...he reminds me of my horse Eagle.

[@donnamason8643]

That horse is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing

[@nondemenai7260]

you did an excellent job with a tough subject

[@PercheronAppLVR]

I think when you said "This horse was out of control at a standstill..when I first got on" - that's the video that we'd like to see. From the beginning :)

[@wightchemist]

Great video and I agree with you completely. I think the problem comes when you go riding somewhere and you are trusting their levels of training. This is the problem I'm coming across more and more frequently. So perhaps the question is what to do when you get on a horse you don't know (on holiday or at a riding club for example) that doesn't listen and takes fright at something?
