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.😊
Plot twist: The deer spooked YOU, and Bubbles was worried for you, so she took you home as as quickly as possible. hehe. 🤭 Jokes aside. excellent riding and outstanding patience. Good thing the horse always knows the way home. 😁
Wow lady, I don't know your riding experience but if you can't get your horse under control or use an emergency dismount, that horse is too much for you. You were extremely frightened and had no control whatsoever. I am glad you made it back safely but I urge you to learn some control or emergency dismount strategies. Next time you may not be so lucky.
@@davec.486 as per your other comment regarding hackamore and bungee reins , yes I made a mistake , but a mistake for what I thought was better for the horse. An emergency dismount would have been a ridiculous idea ..... I have always been taught you stand more chance on the horse than bailing out , I know many many people that bailed and it ended much worse for the rider or the horse ...at the end of that track it's a road and a busy wood yard with lots of lorries at all times of the day, and cars that treat it as a racetrack ..... Me and Bubbles before this had done loads and never been out of control in any way .... The deer didn't do us a favor that day and choice of tack was not great in a situation .. ... But please don't tell people to do an emergency dismount, that only ends badly.
Holy SH@T! That horse was determined to run all the way home. Good job fixing it out. Thank God for a trail with nothing that could have further spooked the horse or made him trip and fall. I would have cussed worse!
I hung up riding (I don't bounce as good as I use to)after my last spectacular spook crash and burn.Watching your video I"felt your pain ",great job staying on.
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 Arabian stallion took off with me like that, but I was able to get him stopped before long. He was a racing Arabian and had won races and I was bareback. I got him stopped by remembering something I learned when I was much younger. I snubbed up both reins close to his head and neck and pulled as hard as I could. It worked. Like you , there was not room for a one rein stop.Thankful both of us made it through uninjured !
That's what I learned as a young rider, don't ride any longer. That's the only thing you can and should do. At least it won't go like crazy and risking your well-being!
Holy Mole! What excellent riding you did while hanging on! I do have to say, you picked the best name for your horse--its clearly impossible to scream "Bubbles!" and sound either angry or scared!
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 ❤
wow, well done for staying on!! I had my first spook experience today which got me searching for vids on TH-cam and brought me here. I've not been riding very long so even though my experience today only lasted a few seconds, i was so scared lol. you done so well to stay on, looks terrifying!
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.
Well done for staying on the Horse is not spooked if genuine spooked it would have stopped eventually it’s just bolting home probably has separation anxiety . Most of these horses will use any excuse to run home you need to fix this problem or you’ll never be able to hack this horse.
We hacked many times more after this .. and never had a problem , she had had dental surgery so couldn't be ridden bitted for a while , so the vet suggested a hackamore ... Sadly Aurora had to be put to sleep 2 years ago
I love how you assume it's barn/buddy sour when it specifically states "horse spooked by deer". Not all horses stop after a spook, especially if they know the way home to safety.
Congratulations You got yourself an endurance champ! I had a runaway on a broken rein once. I reached out and grabbed the bridle, and it all worked out fine. They don't really want to panic.
Yep, kept thinking this would be a good run in an endurance race, but I’d never race a horse that I couldn’t stop. Glad she made it - her pony needs some work.
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.
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🐎❣
Same thing happened to me and my horse! She spooked and took off,needless to say I came off! Broke my tailbone and had a nasty concussion! Took me over 7 months for my back to try to heal! It only healed 75%. DR. told me I was lucky I didn't die!!! Good for you to ride it out without coming off! Didn't mind the swearing at all! I would have had a few more choice words to say!!!!
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!
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😢
Help me understand what the issue is...all I see is a lovely canter experience...according to your Horse, it’s your own fault if you get hit with a branch 🤣🤣🤣
That wasn’t a canter you fuckwit, that was an all out spook and the horse bolted. I’m guessing you’ve never ridden and certainly haven’t had a horse bolt on you. How fucking dare you say it’s the riders fault.
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 🤷♀️
This made me lol just cus I can relate I had this last week when my ex race horse thought he was back at the race tracks on a hack after a spook 🙈😂 so scary at the time though the fear is real 😬
She stayed on by grabbing the horn. She also is a clearly a good rider and pretending to be scared. But she is making it seem fun. Someone with not as much experience as her can get themselves killed doing what she is doing . FOolish woman.
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. 😉
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!
Please don't take this as me being an asshole, but horses are one of the " things I do". Your horse may have been spooked, but that was a combination of many things going on and going wrong. First, the horse used the incident to show how " barn sour" it is, and ran back home, all that distance. It took advantage of the fact that you couldn't, or didn't collect his demeanor from his reactive side of his brain to the thinking side. The horse seemed a bit too much for you to be on, because control was totally absent. This appeared to be a thoroughbred, and they're " hot blooded(high strung) by nature, and that wasn't helping your situation. It might need a stronger bit to be ridden with, but that won't make up for the overall training and desensitizing it truly needs. I could go on, and I started not to respond at all, but wanted to try and lend a hand. Hope my response is taken in the proper spirit in which it was sent . If you care to ask any questions, I'd be glad to help. Take care
The horse is an Irish sports horse, and what was going wrong was she was being ridden in a hackamore and bungee reins ...I was riding in this combination because my horse had had dental surgery the week before .. I had ridden bubble in many many situations etc and we had been absolutely fine ... I absolutely couldn't pull her up in any way and that is a fact, .... She was never sour and we had not experienced anything like this before... She did take advantage after she lurched forward from the deer behind us ..
@@lindagant6254 After I sent you my email, I froze the video at the end to notice it was a hackanore it had on. ( Of course I wouldn't be privy to knowing of your mare's dental issues. ) If she was sore around the face, she should have relinquished to a good tug. Good luck with her, and take care.
Ok this explains everything!! I was extremely frustrated with the none control/horsemanship going on here. You stuck your arse to that saddle perfectly!! Totally exhausting ride, I've been there with a f'n rabbit spook and a broken rein.
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 😂😂😂
Last time I rode, the woods were full of deer. We were almost able to ride up to a few of them since they're used to the horses. Misty wanted to spook several times, but we managed to work through it. I'm glad. If she had taken off like that, I'm not sure I would have been able to stay on.
Jeez....well done for staying on....thank goodness it was a long track straight back to the yard......It's happened to me twice now on my TB, bloody nutter, but at 68 at the time it scared me to death as his speed was bloody terrifying ....that's an ex.racer for you ! Unlike your bolt, both times it was in a pretty large field surrounded by 7ft hedges and when i pointed him into the hedge to stop him and praying he wouldn't try and jump it......he didn't thank God ! It's a scary thing to be on a horse when it's bolting so well done again....Bloody horses, why do we do it 🤣
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 🤩
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 ...👍
Well, I'm a rider and I live that several time, with several horses.. Yours was not afraid, he was just listening you and he thought you were cheering him up and he wasn’t going fast like a scared horse, I can tell because his ears listen to you and if only you had just spoken calmly while doing "hoooo, ho ho" and my horse also knew "stop" so when he wanted to have fun with me, He knew he had to stop, but sometimes didn’t listen to me right away so I knew I had to be gentle. and there is the emergency brake as well, turn his head aside. For the next time. Because there, your words look more like encouragement of fast gallop and the horse only gave you what he believed to be requested, the proof, as soon as arrived at the stables, he stopped calmly, not like a frightened horse. Your fault, not his. He just took advantage of an excuse to gallop. Not mean.😉 In fact it was a big misunderstanding between the horse who took advantage of a moment when his adrenaline had to climb to take a start and then he thought he was encouraged with his sounds... It is necessary to be more explicit and to order a vocal stop. This is not clear at all and the horse seems to me quite calm, more than its rider. I use to ride some horse in the middle of nowhere only with bitless and especially a very nervous and stubborn horse, but very intelligent who knows the words go, gallop, step, trot (or intonations that go with it and that’s the most important). I have always asked for acceleration or slowdown with words several times before pulling on the reins. There, everything indicates a request for gallop from the rider, the horse is not afraid, he just believes that it is ok.
You can't say "this sound means go to a horse". All human sounds are artificial to them and they need to be taught what they mean. There is no universal stop sound; it varies by country and person. For example, in Germany, they use a high chirping prrrrrp sound that would mean "go faster" in many other countries. And I know many people who ask their horse to come with a kiss sound but my friend's horse is trained to pick up canter (even from a halt) on that sound. Anyway sounds with a falling tone (like the hoo-oo in the video) are a pretty common stop or slow signal.
I agree that this horse isn't fully spooked anymore after the initial fright, but it doesn't look like she's running because she thinks the rider wants her to; it looks like she's bolting back to the yard. This ear back and forwards thing can mean listening but it can also mean "I can hear you but I'm not listening". That also explains why she conveniently lands up back at the yard and then stops even though the rider hasn't changed her riding. The horse achieved what it wanted and thus stopped.
@@tfrtrouble "I can hear you but I'm not listening" yees :) It's that... Mine was doing that and I let her to canter a bit as long as it was safe, and didn't ask more to slow down (I did want her to "desobey"), I just asked when I had the feeling she had enought and was ok to slow down, better than to have a "fight" with her (stubburn spanish/arabian mare with a lot of energy, but very smart and safe outside, very trustable horse in front of "danger" or stange thinks or suden noise, she was curious and brave so she stopped and look before). And I know how to handle her during 26 years too... And I also had some terrible rides with other and real "spooked" horse (or very disobedient and crazy horses, unstoppable and running fast during 2kms in the middle of a forest on a trail with a lot of trees and curves.. no go pro camera 25 years ago ha ha ha).
@@tfrtrouble yes, there is many ways, but this sound, it’s too energetic to slow down I mean... all her words and scream, it is more "scary" and motivate the speed alas, even if we are afraid, we must have a calm voice, otherwise it worsens the problem...
@@baswordfish Aw your mare sounds adorable. I don't mind horses that are a bit stubborn or naughty sometimes but I just find it stressful if they are "silly" and spook every time a leaf moves. I used to ride a horse where the owner warned me she is scared of the "saber-toothed tigers" in the forest :P
I don't get the high-pitched "ooh-ooh" hoot-owl sounds. Yes you're scared, but why not a firm low-tone "WHOA!" ? I mean no disrespect, I'm genuinely curious. I just thought that was what most (anglophone) speakers would train their horses to as the halt or slow-down voice command. Not that a bolter may respond, but when the horse blows out a couple times, seems they're no longer in full-blown panic (that blow-out is them releasing stress), and may respond to voice at that point. Again just curious.
@dshe8637 Well, I suppose if that's the voice command she used during groundwork. But I don't think I've ever heard anyone (English-speaking) doing a high-pitched hoot-owl sound to mean stop or "whoa." I've only heard it expressed in a firm, low tone, not a "growl."
That wasn’t a spook. That was a horse in full panic with an unskilled rider who’s taught horse to ignore her. She was continuously talking and never enforcing her commands. Even as a newby I understand that whoa means stop - and you always enforce it.
Your an idiot ... Scroll on by .. this horse is in a hackamore and bungee reins ( google if you don't know what they are) I have ridden for 30yrs , I claim nothing about riding but in 30yrs that has never happened to me ... I don't put myself or my horses in silly situations, but there was no amount of pulling or trying to turn that was stopping another... Grateful that I managed to turn to that yard as continuing down that track was straight out onto a road .... How the hell you can see anything that I am doing is beyond me as you can only see Bubbles head ... Scroll on and don't bother to comment on as a "newby" you know nothing about.
Once a TB loses it it's almost impossible to get them back, no matter how much training they've had. AND it feels as if you're being shot out of a canon in the process. They are as similar to a normal horse as a Ferrari is to a Ford Escort. The best you can hope for is to stay on, which she did quite well.
@@SophiaA3689 there’s one thing you can do to regain control after a horse bolts and doesn’t stop. It’s an emergency stop. You grab one reign and force your horse to turn in a tight circle. This forces them to slow down and eventually stop. I’ve had to use this before when my horse decided to bolt for no reason in particular and wouldn’t slow when I gave her all the queues to.
@@SophiaA3689there isn't enough space to do a one reign stop on trails like that. You'd literally just throw the horse and yourself off balance and end up injured in the bushes. Sometimes, you have to just ride it out. She should be applauded for staying on and with the horse. Not criticized for what she "didn't" do. You never know how your going to react in these situations, and it's not a one size fits all solution. It doesn't mean the horse has holes in its training, not does it mean the rider is inexperienced. Horses are dangerous, sometimes you have to just hang on and go with them to survive 🤷🏻♀️
The first time my Arabian saw a herd of deer on the trail he also took me for a ride. After he bolted I was able to stop him and then he wanted to turn around and check out the deer again.
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 🏇🏻
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).
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?
@@stacyrich113 they are prey animals but they still have personalities and also get bursts of energy. I’ve had horses bolt without being spooked. Sometimes they just want to run and don’t want to slow down.
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!
I had absolutely no control , and my voice was sear panic and trying and to stay calm ( failing) as for loads of places for a one rein stop .. there were none ... this is a wide angled lens and the paths were narrow .... the horse is in a hackamore and I had attached elastic bungee training aids to the reins ( pulling made no difference) ., not our normal tack but being used as the horse had had dental surgery the previous week and vet advise was to continue normal routine but ride bitless. On a stubble or a wide open space a one rein stop would work but not on heavily wooded areas etc.
All of that might be true, but you made to the decision to ride the horse outside of an enclosed area. The video is proof that you had no real control of the horse. A deer should not spook a horse so badly that it bolts for three minutes. You are very lucky that there were no real obstructions. I've ridden for well over 20 years now, and have never had a similar experience. I live in the American west and have encountered grizzly bears, wolves and every other sort of animal. A horse can keep its wits, and when it loses them, it is on you to help them get them back. Riding out when you can't really stop a horse is not a wise choice. I am glad you did not get hurt, you could have easily been killed.@@lindagant6254
you did a great job@@lindagant6254 and even though bubbles was spooked they clearly meant you no harm and just wanted to get home, good horse and great riding
@@ThatBuckskinPonywhat? You cant ever really have “control” of a horse. Not really. So should everyone just never hack again? There wasn’t enough room for this woman to circle and slow down.
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
lower the pitch of your voice. i know it's hard to stay calm when they bolt, but just about everything you were doing was feeding your horse's freak out. Sorry, just sayin. Been in that situation more than once myself. Am i correct in guessing you were pitched forward in the saddle as well?
En principe après un long galop on repasse au trot et au pas et on rentre tranquillement. Cela permet au cheval de récupérer et de lui apprendre à ne pas rentrer au galop chez lui !! On peut aimer son cheval, mais on doit également le respecter.
Sauf que là, la cavalière dit que son cheval a été effrayé, pour elle, il l'a embarquée... Mais je en trouve pas, car si c'est ça être embarqué... c'est soft! Moi je connais bien le "vrai emballement"! Hors là, c'est un bon cheval qui croit être encouragé et rentre au galop on voit bien qu'il est à l'écoute avec ses oreilles, mais la cavalière aurait dû lui parler d'un ton adapté en demandant un ralentissement, genre ho ho, au trot, au trot (le mien connait bien).. et ça permet de descendre le rythme . comme je dis en anglais: il croyait que vous l'encouragiez et il n'allait pas vite comme un cheval effrayé, Je peux le dire car ses oreilles vous écoutent et si seulement vous aviez juste parlé calmement en faisant hoooo, ho ho et mon cheval connaissait aussi "stop" donc quand il voulait s'amuser de moi, il savait qu'il fallait stopper, mais parfois ne m'écoutait de suite alors je savais que je devais être douce. et il existe le freinage d'urgence aussi, lui tourner la tête de côté. Pour la prochaine fois. Car là, vos mots ressemblent plus à des encouragements de galop rapide et le cheval n'a fait que vous donner ce qu'il croyait être demandé, la preuve, dès arrivé aux écuries, il a stoppé calmement, pas comme un cheval effrayé. Votre faute, pas la sienne. Il a juste profité d'un prétexte pour galoper. Pas méchant.
And this is why autonomous transportation is such a bad idea. Except when it comes to an autonomous automobile, you can't "Woah Bubbles" your way to a safe stop.
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😂😂
I had had no opportunity to do a one rein stop ,..these are narrow wooded tracks and we were at gallop.... The only turn I could make was into that yard, and that was pure luck that we didn't fall on the bend in ...x
@@lindagant6254 It's been well over a decade since I rode and I never galloped, but the thing I took away from the video is neither you or your horse were in immediate danger, such as galloping out on to a very busy main road. What, if anything, would you have done in that situation?
Wow, I mean no offense here but you need to know how to do a one reign stop or alternating reign stop, you have ZERO control. What if there were children on that path with ponies? You MUST know how to stop a horse. PLEASE for the sake of others, and yourself, learn what to do when a horse bolts. This should NEVER happen. It's awful for the horse too because now he thinks he can run back to the barn every time he sees something spooky...very dangerous. You need to get some help with how to deal with a bolting horse.
This happened to me today and I had no idea what to do because I have zero riding experience!! I ended up falling off, I couldn’t hang on! Now I know about one reign stop. I should’ve researched beforehand. The lady in this video may not know how to stop a horse but she damn sure knows how to ride one!
she knows what she is doing. If she did not know, she would be screaming and not filming for youtube. Think about it. People dont film when their lives are at risk. She knew what she was doing. The horse is clearly retarded for spooking that long.
@@SarahtheGoddess1111 she certainly does .The one rein stop is a great idea if it can be used safely on the horse the only problem being that using the one rein stop would cause the horse to turn its head and its self sharply and in wooded areas it's not always the best way to stop . Hope your okay ? And carry on horse riding 😊
I dont think one reign stop would be good on small trails with undergrowth everywhere, there can be hidden holes, and with hard ground like that the horse can skid while turning. Not to mention certain horses can very headstrong when bolting making it hard to slowdown even a little bit
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.
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. 🙏
It's a woodland path and looks a lot wider in reality than on film, the only opportunity to do a one rein stop is at the yard, I had pulled into.... The horse is bitless and in bungee reins as well x
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.😊
I think thats the longest bolt ive ever seen on youtube. Boy he wanted to get home quick. Glad you were okay.
Its very traumatic in the moment when your horse spooks, but after it your like.."at least i made it out alive" :D
Been there. Held on!
Looks familiar 😊
My riding instructor advised me, 'Nothing lasts forever.' Gratefully.
More like “Wait, I’m alive?”
Plot twist: The deer spooked YOU, and Bubbles was worried for you, so she took you home as as quickly as possible. hehe. 🤭
Jokes aside. excellent riding and outstanding patience. Good thing the horse always knows the way home. 😁
Wow lady, I don't know your riding experience but if you can't get your horse under control or use an emergency dismount, that horse is too much for you. You were extremely frightened and had no control whatsoever. I am glad you made it back safely but I urge you to learn some control or emergency dismount strategies. Next time you may not be so lucky.
@@davec.486 as per your other comment regarding hackamore and bungee reins , yes I made a mistake , but a mistake for what I thought was better for the horse.
An emergency dismount would have been a ridiculous idea ..... I have always been taught you stand more chance on the horse than bailing out , I know many many people that bailed and it ended much worse for the rider or the horse ...at the end of that track it's a road and a busy wood yard with lots of lorries at all times of the day, and cars that treat it as a racetrack .....
Me and Bubbles before this had done loads and never been out of control in any way .... The deer didn't do us a favor that day and choice of tack was not great in a situation .. ... But please don't tell people to do an emergency dismount, that only ends badly.
@@janicebooy1007to me it sounds like a “woah”, which is hard in a canter when you’re out of breath and in shock, lol.
To be fair, she knew where to go. "Quick! No time to waste! Back to the yard!!!"
Holy SH@T! That horse was determined to run all the way home. Good job fixing it out. Thank God for a trail with nothing that could have further spooked the horse or made him trip and fall. I would have cussed worse!
I hung up riding (I don't bounce as good as I use to)after my last spectacular spook crash and burn.Watching your video I"felt your pain ",great job staying on.
For sure I would require large and strong drink after this ride.Great job staying on.❤
That is the longest 3 minutes of my life watching it must have felt like an eternity to you. Glad you both are ok.
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 Arabian stallion took off with me like that, but I was able to get him stopped before long. He was a racing Arabian and had won races and I was bareback. I got him stopped by remembering something I learned when I was much younger. I snubbed up both reins close to his head and neck and pulled as hard as I could. It worked. Like you , there was not room for a one rein stop.Thankful both of us made it through uninjured !
That's what I learned as a young rider, don't ride any longer. That's the only thing you can and should do. At least it won't go like crazy and risking your well-being!
Holy Mole! What excellent riding you did while hanging on! I do have to say, you picked the best name for your horse--its clearly impossible to scream "Bubbles!" and sound either angry or scared!
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 ❤
I totally agree with you and the older I get the more wary I become. If the horse wants to go it just goes. Very scary.
wow, well done for staying on!! I had my first spook experience today which got me searching for vids on TH-cam and brought me here. I've not been riding very long so even though my experience today only lasted a few seconds, i was so scared lol. you done so well to stay on, looks terrifying!
Use a low voice when asking for slowing or halting. The high pitch voice is doing nothing. Practice one rein stops like another commenter wrote.
Agree on the first half... the one rein stops might not be good on the small pathways/forrest trails
😂 that was my low voice in a terrified mode 😂
Sit low deep
Low voice
Me trying to increase my horses stamina on RDR2
hahah
Underrated comment 😂😂
What’s the holler’s about? We’re you wanting him to keep going?
Very low wooooows might of help!
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.
This video has me in stitches each time I see it😂 epic Bubbles 😂🤣 well done for staying on all the way ✊🏻😂
Well done for staying on the Horse is not spooked if genuine spooked it would have stopped eventually it’s just bolting home probably has separation anxiety . Most of these horses will use any excuse to run home you need to fix this problem or you’ll never be able to hack this horse.
We hacked many times more after this .. and never had a problem , she had had dental surgery so couldn't be ridden bitted for a while , so the vet suggested a hackamore ... Sadly Aurora had to be put to sleep 2 years ago
Yep. Barn sour.
I love how you assume it's barn/buddy sour when it specifically states "horse spooked by deer". Not all horses stop after a spook, especially if they know the way home to safety.
Great forest trails for riding
Congratulations You got yourself an endurance champ! I had a runaway on a broken rein once. I reached out and grabbed the bridle, and it all worked out fine. They don't really want to panic.
Yep, kept thinking this would be a good run in an endurance race, but I’d never race a horse that I couldn’t stop. Glad she made it - her pony needs some work.
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.
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🐎❣
Same thing happened to me and my horse! She spooked and took off,needless to say I came off! Broke my tailbone and had a nasty concussion! Took me over 7 months for my back to try to heal! It only healed 75%. DR. told me I was lucky I didn't die!!! Good for you to ride it out without coming off! Didn't mind the swearing at all! I would have had a few more choice words to say!!!!
Reminds me of the time my horse spooked at a water tank
You stayed on!!!!!! You are amazing!
jesus christ... 3 minutes without stopping. JEEEEZ
I would have DIED!
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!
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😢
Thank you xx
😢my worst fear when i'm outside 😫
Help me understand what the issue is...all I see is a lovely canter experience...according to your Horse, it’s your own fault if you get hit with a branch 🤣🤣🤣
That wasn’t a canter you fuckwit, that was an all out spook and the horse bolted. I’m guessing you’ve never ridden and certainly haven’t had a horse bolt on you. How fucking dare you say it’s the riders fault.
..are you stupid ?! 😂
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 🤷♀️
It had to be very scared. You were very brave❤
This made me lol just cus I can relate I had this last week when my ex race horse thought he was back at the race tracks on a hack after a spook 🙈😂 so scary at the time though the fear is real 😬
If I was a horse , I'd be spooked by you.
"Damn it, Roach!" I don't think it was a deer that made your horse run for it's life
How the hell did you stay on?!!!! Well done and as for the swearing, think it was very much justified
She stayed on by grabbing the horn. She also is a clearly a good rider and pretending to be scared. But she is making it seem fun. Someone with not as much experience as her can get themselves killed doing what she is doing . FOolish woman.
@@devindersingh8241
"She stayed on by grabbing the horn."
It's an English saddle, genius.
My horse got spooked by one of those yard windmills, and threw me. Go ahead and swear. LOL
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. 😉
You got a beautiful horse!!
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 ❤️😁
Please don't take this as me being an asshole, but horses are one of the " things I do".
Your horse may have been spooked, but that was a combination of many things going on and going wrong. First, the horse used the incident to show how " barn sour" it is, and ran back home, all that distance. It took advantage of the fact that you couldn't, or didn't collect his demeanor from his reactive side of his brain to the thinking side.
The horse seemed a bit too much for you to be on, because control was totally absent.
This appeared to be a thoroughbred, and they're " hot blooded(high strung) by nature, and that wasn't helping your situation. It might need a stronger bit to be ridden with, but that won't make up for the overall training and desensitizing it truly needs. I could go on, and I started not to respond at all, but wanted to try and lend a hand. Hope my response is taken in the proper spirit in which it was sent . If you care to ask any questions, I'd be glad to help.
Take care
The horse is an Irish sports horse, and what was going wrong was she was being ridden in a hackamore and bungee reins ...I was riding in this combination because my horse had had dental surgery the week before ..
I had ridden bubble in many many situations etc and we had been absolutely fine ...
I absolutely couldn't pull her up in any way and that is a fact, .... She was never sour and we had not experienced anything like this before...
She did take advantage after she lurched forward from the deer behind us ..
@@lindagant6254 After I sent you my email, I froze the video at the end to notice it was a hackanore it had on. ( Of course I wouldn't be privy to knowing of your mare's dental issues. ) If she was sore around the face, she should have relinquished to a good tug.
Good luck with her, and take care.
Ok this explains everything!!
I was extremely frustrated with the none control/horsemanship going on here.
You stuck your arse to that saddle perfectly!!
Totally exhausting ride, I've been there with a f'n rabbit spook and a broken rein.
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 😂😂😂
Wow you can ride fantastic very happy it worked out ok xxxx
A Happy Ending!! 😄
This is why it is important to learn the emergency stop
fr
Last time I rode, the woods were full of deer. We were almost able to ride up to a few of them since they're used to the horses.
Misty wanted to spook several times, but we managed to work through it. I'm glad. If she had taken off like that, I'm not sure I would have been able to stay on.
aww I love that everyone came over to check on you
Jeez....well done for staying on....thank goodness it was a long track straight back to the yard......It's happened to me twice now on my TB, bloody nutter, but at 68 at the time it scared me to death as his speed was bloody terrifying ....that's an ex.racer for you ! Unlike your bolt, both times it was in a pretty large field surrounded by 7ft hedges and when i pointed him into the hedge to stop him and praying he wouldn't try and jump it......he didn't thank God ! It's a scary thing to be on a horse when it's bolting so well done again....Bloody horses, why do we do it 🤣
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 🤩
That’s one way to get home quick.
Eek! I’m so glad you both got back home in one piece.
Horse just learned how easy to take piss with you .. your vlucky you ok. You had 0 control .
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 ...👍
In a HACKAMORE, Hallelujah!
Great riding
Well, I'm a rider and I live that several time, with several horses.. Yours was not afraid, he was just listening you and he thought you were cheering him up and he wasn’t going fast like a scared horse, I can tell because his ears listen to you and if only you had just spoken calmly while doing "hoooo, ho ho" and my horse also knew "stop" so when he wanted to have fun with me, He knew he had to stop, but sometimes didn’t listen to me right away so I knew I had to be gentle. and there is the emergency brake as well, turn his head aside. For the next time. Because there, your words look more like encouragement of fast gallop and the horse only gave you what he believed to be requested, the proof, as soon as arrived at the stables, he stopped calmly, not like a frightened horse. Your fault, not his. He just took advantage of an excuse to gallop. Not mean.😉
In fact it was a big misunderstanding between the horse who took advantage of a moment when his adrenaline had to climb to take a start and then he thought he was encouraged with his sounds... It is necessary to be more explicit and to order a vocal stop. This is not clear at all and the horse seems to me quite calm, more than its rider.
I use to ride some horse in the middle of nowhere only with bitless and especially a very nervous and stubborn horse, but very intelligent who knows the words go, gallop, step, trot (or intonations that go with it and that’s the most important). I have always asked for acceleration or slowdown with words several times before pulling on the reins. There, everything indicates a request for gallop from the rider, the horse is not afraid, he just believes that it is ok.
You can't say "this sound means go to a horse". All human sounds are artificial to them and they need to be taught what they mean. There is no universal stop sound; it varies by country and person. For example, in Germany, they use a high chirping prrrrrp sound that would mean "go faster" in many other countries. And I know many people who ask their horse to come with a kiss sound but my friend's horse is trained to pick up canter (even from a halt) on that sound. Anyway sounds with a falling tone (like the hoo-oo in the video) are a pretty common stop or slow signal.
I agree that this horse isn't fully spooked anymore after the initial fright, but it doesn't look like she's running because she thinks the rider wants her to; it looks like she's bolting back to the yard. This ear back and forwards thing can mean listening but it can also mean "I can hear you but I'm not listening". That also explains why she conveniently lands up back at the yard and then stops even though the rider hasn't changed her riding. The horse achieved what it wanted and thus stopped.
@@tfrtrouble "I can hear you but I'm not listening" yees :) It's that... Mine was doing that and I let her to canter a bit as long as it was safe, and didn't ask more to slow down (I did want her to "desobey"), I just asked when I had the feeling she had enought and was ok to slow down, better than to have a "fight" with her (stubburn spanish/arabian mare with a lot of energy, but very smart and safe outside, very trustable horse in front of "danger" or stange thinks or suden noise, she was curious and brave so she stopped and look before). And I know how to handle her during 26 years too... And I also had some terrible rides with other and real "spooked" horse (or very disobedient and crazy horses, unstoppable and running fast during 2kms in the middle of a forest on a trail with a lot of trees and curves.. no go pro camera 25 years ago ha ha ha).
@@tfrtrouble yes, there is many ways, but this sound, it’s too energetic to slow down I mean... all her words and scream, it is more "scary" and motivate the speed alas, even if we are afraid, we must have a calm voice, otherwise it worsens the problem...
@@baswordfish Aw your mare sounds adorable. I don't mind horses that are a bit stubborn or naughty sometimes but I just find it stressful if they are "silly" and spook every time a leaf moves. I used to ride a horse where the owner warned me she is scared of the "saber-toothed tigers" in the forest :P
I don't get the high-pitched "ooh-ooh" hoot-owl sounds. Yes you're scared, but why not a firm low-tone "WHOA!" ? I mean no disrespect, I'm genuinely curious. I just thought that was what most (anglophone) speakers would train their horses to as the halt or slow-down voice command. Not that a bolter may respond, but when the horse blows out a couple times, seems they're no longer in full-blown panic (that blow-out is them releasing stress), and may respond to voice at that point. Again just curious.
I think she was panicking, amazing she stayed on. Bet she never wanted to hack out in a hackamore again after that 😂
That sound is actually soothing to a horse. Low tones get mistaken for growls. Cheery expressions that they are used to will sometimes reassure them
@dshe8637 Well, I suppose if that's the voice command she used during groundwork. But I don't think I've ever heard anyone (English-speaking) doing a high-pitched hoot-owl sound to mean stop or "whoa." I've only heard it expressed in a firm, low tone, not a "growl."
The swearing? Totally fkng understandable.
That wasn’t a spook. That was a horse in full panic with an unskilled rider who’s taught horse to ignore her. She was continuously talking and never enforcing her commands. Even as a newby I understand that whoa means stop - and you always enforce it.
Your an idiot ... Scroll on by .. this horse is in a hackamore and bungee reins ( google if you don't know what they are) I have ridden for 30yrs , I claim nothing about riding but in 30yrs that has never happened to me ... I don't put myself or my horses in silly situations, but there was no amount of pulling or trying to turn that was stopping another... Grateful that I managed to turn to that yard as continuing down that track was straight out onto a road .... How the hell you can see anything that I am doing is beyond me as you can only see Bubbles head ... Scroll on and don't bother to comment on as a "newby" you know nothing about.
Once a TB loses it it's almost impossible to get them back, no matter how much training they've had. AND it feels as if you're being shot out of a canon in the process. They are as similar to a normal horse as a Ferrari is to a Ford Escort. The best you can hope for is to stay on, which she did quite well.
Go read the History of the Badminton Horse Trials (Carol Foster), then come back and try criticizing this rider.
@@SophiaA3689 there’s one thing you can do to regain control after a horse bolts and doesn’t stop. It’s an emergency stop. You grab one reign and force your horse to turn in a tight circle. This forces them to slow down and eventually stop. I’ve had to use this before when my horse decided to bolt for no reason in particular and wouldn’t slow when I gave her all the queues to.
@@SophiaA3689there isn't enough space to do a one reign stop on trails like that. You'd literally just throw the horse and yourself off balance and end up injured in the bushes. Sometimes, you have to just ride it out. She should be applauded for staying on and with the horse. Not criticized for what she "didn't" do. You never know how your going to react in these situations, and it's not a one size fits all solution. It doesn't mean the horse has holes in its training, not does it mean the rider is inexperienced. Horses are dangerous, sometimes you have to just hang on and go with them to survive 🤷🏻♀️
Just looked like a good ride to me. He never tried to buck you off.
The first time my Arabian saw a herd of deer on the trail he also took me for a ride. After he bolted I was able to stop him and then he wanted to turn around and check out the deer again.
Your horse must be in great condition!!!
You are having a nice gallop through a lovely wood ... or at least the horse is.
Been there. Done that more than once. Not a fan but I still ride. It's in the blood. You always wonder if it's your last day on earth. LOL
Beautiful track for a run though
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 🏇🏻
Thank you, I am glad you were ok too 😊 xx
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).
Explain to us - How an Emergencystop Looks like ,please !
Remained calm road it out. Well done !
Wow your very balanced, I would’ve fallen off hah!
Well done you!! Naughty Bubbles!!
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?
your horse was just being a jerk. It wasn't spooked. glad you stayed on OK.
I’m sure horses don’t know what it means to be a jerk. They’re not intentional assholes. They are prey animals.
@@stacyrich113 Prey animals or not, they have personalities. Jerk does fit into that category.
Definitely a POS.
@@stacyrich113 they are prey animals but they still have personalities and also get bursts of energy. I’ve had horses bolt without being spooked. Sometimes they just want to run and don’t want to slow down.
Change the caption to "watch me ride like a pro"! Lol.... I wouldn't know the difference
Love this comment, 100% agree .
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!
Thank you xxx
Learn the one reign stop!
This lady got zero control, her voice even encouraged the horse to keep going faster. So many places for one reign stop and she didnt do anything
I had absolutely no control , and my voice was sear panic and trying and to stay calm ( failing) as for loads of places for a one rein stop .. there were none ... this is a wide angled lens and the paths were narrow .... the horse is in a hackamore and I had attached elastic bungee training aids to the reins ( pulling made no difference) ., not our normal tack but being used as the horse had had dental surgery the previous week and vet advise was to continue normal routine but ride bitless.
On a stubble or a wide open space a one rein stop would work but not on heavily wooded areas etc.
All of that might be true, but you made to the decision to ride the horse outside of an enclosed area. The video is proof that you had no real control of the horse. A deer should not spook a horse so badly that it bolts for three minutes. You are very lucky that there were no real obstructions. I've ridden for well over 20 years now, and have never had a similar experience. I live in the American west and have encountered grizzly bears, wolves and every other sort of animal. A horse can keep its wits, and when it loses them, it is on you to help them get them back. Riding out when you can't really stop a horse is not a wise choice. I am glad you did not get hurt, you could have easily been killed.@@lindagant6254
you did a great job@@lindagant6254 and even though bubbles was spooked they clearly meant you no harm and just wanted to get home, good horse and great riding
@@lindagant6254 Then why did you go on a hack--?
@@ThatBuckskinPonywhat? You cant ever really have “control” of a horse. Not really. So should everyone just never hack again? There wasn’t enough room for this woman to circle and slow down.
I think the high pitched WOOO is not helping lol
Auuuu Auuuu 😂
Well sat! I've always been told to stop a bolting horse by turning it in to a gate.
A risky strategy. Some horses will jump the gate 😝
If someone was on the path would he just trample them? That’s so scary
I think it's better to just think of what happened and not focus on what could have happened x
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
How stressful 😅Poor woman!
lower the pitch of your voice. i know it's hard to stay calm when they bolt, but just about everything you were doing was feeding your horse's freak out. Sorry, just sayin. Been in that situation more than once myself. Am i correct in guessing you were pitched forward in the saddle as well?
En principe après un long galop on repasse au trot et au pas et on rentre tranquillement. Cela permet au cheval de récupérer et de lui apprendre à ne pas rentrer au galop chez lui !! On peut aimer son cheval, mais on doit également le respecter.
Sauf que là, la cavalière dit que son cheval a été effrayé, pour elle, il l'a embarquée... Mais je en trouve pas, car si c'est ça être embarqué... c'est soft! Moi je connais bien le "vrai emballement"! Hors là, c'est un bon cheval qui croit être encouragé et rentre au galop on voit bien qu'il est à l'écoute avec ses oreilles, mais la cavalière aurait dû lui parler d'un ton adapté en demandant un ralentissement, genre ho ho, au trot, au trot (le mien connait bien).. et ça permet de descendre le rythme . comme je dis en anglais:
il croyait que vous l'encouragiez et il n'allait pas vite comme un cheval effrayé, Je peux le dire car ses oreilles vous écoutent et si seulement vous aviez juste parlé calmement en faisant hoooo, ho ho et mon cheval connaissait aussi "stop" donc quand il voulait s'amuser de moi, il savait qu'il fallait stopper, mais parfois ne m'écoutait de suite alors je savais que je devais être douce. et il existe le freinage d'urgence aussi, lui tourner la tête de côté. Pour la prochaine fois. Car là, vos mots ressemblent plus à des encouragements de galop rapide et le cheval n'a fait que vous donner ce qu'il croyait être demandé, la preuve, dès arrivé aux écuries, il a stoppé calmement, pas comme un cheval effrayé. Votre faute, pas la sienne. Il a juste profité d'un prétexte pour galoper. Pas méchant.
And this is why autonomous transportation is such a bad idea.
Except when it comes to an autonomous automobile, you can't "Woah Bubbles" your way to a safe stop.
Where's the deer??
This was after the spook
One rein stop!!
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😂😂
Would performing a pulley-rein made any difference here?
I had had no opportunity to do a one rein stop ,..these are narrow wooded tracks and we were at gallop.... The only turn I could make was into that yard, and that was pure luck that we didn't fall on the bend in ...x
@@lindagant6254 It's been well over a decade since I rode and I never galloped, but the thing I took away from the video is neither you or your horse were in immediate danger, such as galloping out on to a very busy main road. What, if anything, would you have done in that situation?
Bad bubbles😮
hilarious vid
Wow, I mean no offense here but you need to know how to do a one reign stop or alternating reign stop, you have ZERO control. What if there were children on that path with ponies? You MUST know how to stop a horse. PLEASE for the sake of others, and yourself, learn what to do when a horse bolts. This should NEVER happen. It's awful for the horse too because now he thinks he can run back to the barn every time he sees something spooky...very dangerous. You need to get some help with how to deal with a bolting horse.
This happened to me today and I had no idea what to do because I have zero riding experience!! I ended up falling off, I couldn’t hang on! Now I know about one reign stop. I should’ve researched beforehand. The lady in this video may not know how to stop a horse but she damn sure knows how to ride one!
she knows what she is doing. If she did not know, she would be screaming and not filming for youtube. Think about it. People dont film when their lives are at risk. She knew what she was doing. The horse is clearly retarded for spooking that long.
@@SarahtheGoddess1111 she certainly does .The one rein stop is a great idea if it can be used safely on the horse the only problem being that using the one rein stop would cause the horse to turn its head and its self sharply and in wooded areas it's not always the best way to stop . Hope your okay ? And carry on horse riding 😊
I totally agree. Not to mention she could have gotten hurt. And the cooing sure doesn’t help. She sounded as panicked as the horse!
I dont think one reign stop would be good on small trails with undergrowth everywhere, there can be hidden holes, and with hard ground like that the horse can skid while turning.
Not to mention certain horses can very headstrong when bolting making it hard to slowdown even a little bit
Pull the reins left right left right!
Don't be ridiculous!
@@dshe8637 that's how I slow down a horse! Just because you don't, oh well
@@mariciamariani2468never have I heard of that lol… circling by pulling one way yes, but both interchangeably isn’t rlly gonna do owt🤣
@@ktxtenskz7441 not hard! That’s the way my riding told me! It slows them down
@@mariciamariani2468 didn’t say it would be hard lol I just don’t see it working any where near as well as circling
There is a special tradional process done by Arabs to control horses in such unfamiliar situations, it takes more time but build a stronger trust
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.
Haha fr
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. 🙏
Don't be put off by this , live your dream and no regrets ❤️❤️❤️
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
Good time to use a one rein stop?
It's a woodland path and looks a lot wider in reality than on film, the only opportunity to do a one rein stop is at the yard, I had pulled into.... The horse is bitless and in bungee reins as well x
You don't sound like you are enjoying the ride...even before the deer!
This makes me rethink going on a hack. What on earth didn't he listen!? Did you try a one rein stop or would it have thrown you off?
One rein stop on a tight trail with obstacles on either side?
What is up with that sound she keeps making
😂 for real O o
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 .....😂😂😂
Why do you keep making that sound? It sounds like moaning.
