I’d of being swearing more than that 🤣 wow 😮 that 3 minutes must of felt like 3 hours, can’t believe you stayed on, that is some skill I would of been off within 30 seconds. Amazing 🤩
You need to QUIT that whoohoo sound you’re making- for ANY use. Your other high pitch sound is like a ‘praise!’ We suggest a quick stop bit for you also. After the first 2 Whoas- ‘it ain’t happening.’ And just more time in the saddle.
My dad was head lad at a racing stables and often had racehorses bolting on him. He would turn them sharp into a spin and hold on really tight with his knees so he didnt fly off the side. He would never consider the horse to be in control of him and always brought them to a stop. I, on the other hand, was a very average rider and always fell off when it happened to me 😂
@@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 😂😂😂
You have all the fun! You are to be congratulated for keeping your seat (and sanity) through that ride. Fortunately Bubbles didn’t try to get rid of you while running home. 45 years of trail riding I've not experienced such a prolonged run home. Good stamina, Is your horse a thoroughbred? I feel like I rode that with you and I'm so glad you got back okay.
Riding a bolting horse is the most terrifying experience on the back of a horse. Swearing is an okay way to relieve that anxiety. Your high pitch who's freaked of terror and understandable, but it reaffirmed to a horse fear is there, and they have to flee. Know it is hard not to fear. I have ridden many bolted horses. I admire you hanging on.😊
Been bolted twice. First time ended in a mud puddle 😂 second time took me under a tree. Had to lay on her back and grab the reins as near her mouth as I could and pull like hell but she stopped 🤷♀️
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.
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 ...👍
Wow I just watched your video, I love my horse and when I was younger I would have loved galloping but as I've aged and my body doesn't heal as quickly as it used to LOL I've had my horse start to take off on me when other horses in my group have spooked, but my horse trainer should me how to use the emergency brake, as my horse took off I started pulling his head easy at first to the left which started him slowing down I kept doing it and luckily I finally got control over him of course it might be harder on a wooded trail I'm happy you are both ok🐎❣
Well done! Most people here think they have it all in theory and actually don't know what they're talking about. The main danger could have been turning into the yard. If it involved a sharp turn in you were gone😢
i thought she was very calm i would have been yelling whooaaa!!! i dont know if it would have helped lol but definitely more whooaaing!! Good ride girlfriend!
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
Ok but like after a point, this wasn't spooking, it was just the horse getting fed up with the rider and lacking trust and respect. That horse just went "Screw you. I don't like this" and kept going.
A friendly advice for the future if this were to ever happen again is to try to stay more calm and collected and speak gently with the horse in a lower tone. I know it’s easier said than done in these kinds of situations but panicking, swearing and “hooing” in such high tones while the horse is scared will only make it think it truly has a reason to be scared and keep on running like it did. Horses are great at feeling the riders emotions (there’s a saying that your horse is a reflection of yourself) and if it feels you’re afraid then it makes the horse even more scared
Don't apologize for the swearing lass, after that bolt you're entitled to. I got bolted with a few years back through a wood, and it was terrifying, how l never got scraped out the saddle on a tree l'll never know. You were lucky there was nothing coming the other way, l hope you were both okay, but well sat 🏇🏻
Uhh I don’t think I would enjoy riding a horse after watching this and another video of a horse being spooked. Thank goodness there were no cars around. I didn’t realize there is nothing one can do to get them to stop. I always wanted a horse. I think I will get one but not ride it. Just have it walk with me and pasture lol Thank goodness you are okay. 🙏
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.
Oh Gosh 🙈 I had a similar experience yesterday except that my pony didn’t get spooked, she just decided to start galloping and jumping sideways all of a sudden, just for fun. 😬 Luckily I didn’t fall off. Great job of you!
The only thing you can do in this situation is (a) keep your head, (b) shorten the reins to as short as you can, (c) pull like hell on the reins, low and towards the shoulder, to get the neck into a "Rollkur" position. Rollkur is awful, but this is one situation where it may well save your life! Rollkur is so bad because it clamps the windpipe and stops the horse from breathing properly, but that's what you want to do in this situation. As the horse runs out of breath, its gait will slow and then you have some hope of regaining control of the situation. I have done this on a bolting horse, it absolutely works because it uses the horse's own biology against itself. When the horse begins to slow, you release the Rollkur slowly, but be ready to clamp it on again, if it wants to head off after catching its breath. As soon as you have fully and safely stopped, you need to dismount and reward your horse, praising it for doing the right thing (stopping). Shouting at it or beating it will only make thing's worse, so don't! Once both of your heart rates have returned to normal, you need to remount and continue on your way. I hope this helps someone, and God Bless!
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!
This was hilarious. Did anybody ever teach you how to stop your horse? High-pitched, screaming, and yelling at him is not going to help by the way. either stop your horse or ride it out. But don't make things worse.
That's when you realize that's an illusion that we have "control" of a horse, we never have control they can and will do what they want especially when that flight response kicks in. Glad everyone is OK ❤
Best thing to do is once they stop bolting with you an they are tired make them gallop. Not to far though an keep them galloping if they try to stop. They wont ever bolt again with ya lol
I know this is a really old vid but I want to say I had my first spook a few weeks ago and my horse did it right by the road😅I was so scared and almost fell of not because of spook because of fear😂😂
You did good. You managed to stay on for a long while. It's quite a terrifying experience to ride a bolting horse. Some cussing is to be expected from something like that. Lol.
I do not mean ANY hate whatsoever to the rider, as I know these situations are terrifying (I understand first hand by being in these situations myself several times before), but the first thing I was thinking was “Why isn’t she doing any sort of emergency stop?” It’s an extremely important thing to know how to do, and I believe it should be among the first set of things taught to new riders. Of course, I would not recommend the head turn/circle emergency stop at this fast of a gallop, but there’s other ways to do it with minimal risk of falling. Again, I mean to hate to anyone in the video. She was obviously very scared and stressed, and probably wasn’t thinking about emergency stops at the time - this is just something I noticed and wanted to point out for other viewers (and also the poster in case she isn’t currently aware of emergency stops).
I know this is old but im glad you and your horse are ok. And im sure you both learned from this experience. And i love that even though the horse was spooked they still ran all the way home
My instructor said....if they go don't take your bum out of the saddle, keep upright, keep legs on and hands low. Yeah...easier said than done. At the end of it you are grateful you haven't come off. I've come flying off over a big shy, taken the jump instead of the horse, landed in front of the horse holding the reins when he stopped dead at a puddle and rode the bucking bronco in a menage. Terrifying but I still love horses. I had a laugh at this video. Thank you for posting it. 😉
Anything i say is not meant to be taken rudely im just curious really!! Why are you using such a jigh voice saying woah? It would be better to use a lowed tone wouldnt it? And may i ask, when you found like more open/wider areas where you were able to try maybe do one reign stops, why didnt you? Or was there really no room?
I think the high pitched WOOO is not helping lol
If I was a horse , I'd be spooked by you.
This Is why I have a dislike for horses, the rider is never really in control.
I’d of being swearing more than that 🤣 wow 😮 that 3 minutes must of felt like 3 hours, can’t believe you stayed on, that is some skill I would of been off within 30 seconds. Amazing 🤩

Have you tried pulling the rain and sit deap and heavy in the Seat? Asking from my dressage tours💅🏻🤡🤡🤡
Everyone's a critic 😂😂😂
You have no control over that horse, get yourself something a bit easier or take some riding lessons.
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.
Lucky to have the horse go like that. Most have to be flogged along. You have had a privileged ride. You should have been able to stop it however.
Flogged and privileged.....really !!!😂😂😂
Flogged and privileged!!!! Really .....😂😂😂

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
