I recognize this behavior! Thanks for showing how to deal with it. I have a mare who even when grazing loose in the pasture is the first- and often only- horse in the herd to go to high alert and bolt. This was a very real and helpful session, thanks.
The difference in that horses energy/body was so different from the start to how settled he was at the end! I appreciate how you explained what you were doing as you did it and the summary at the end. Informative and helpful! Thank you!!
I have not found a reactive horse to be nervous by nature, they just notice things quicker and react, i don't see that as a bad thing, but like to teach them to think instead of reacting, sometimes reactiveness comes from being abused, so in that case, yes, it would be a nervous, worried, scared reaction.
Why on Earth would you want to ride a reactive horse? That is not horsemanship. The horse needs to be properly prepared on the ground before you ever think of riding.
Thanks for watching!

Are reactive horses nervous in nature or can reactiveness in a horse have various causes?

That was the point of this video, there was a ton of prep work done, that's why it was a successful ride!

I like how he is respectful of the horse and is actually communicating with the horse… most horse people are utterly barbaric
