How do you make a horse run?

Answer 1

Well, that's such an easy question to answer! Do you ride? You probably don't because if you did, you'd know the answer. When you mount your horse, walk it for a few minutes to warm up his muscles. After that, kick it's sides with your feet to get it to trot. Have a trainer with you because you seem inexperienced. Once you are comfortable at this gait (the trot), posting, two point, and cavaleties, you may continue on to the gait called cantering. Cantering is faster than the trot and is more dangerous. You could lightly tap the horse's shoulder with a crop to get it to go faster, but you may only use it when he is not responding to the foot. If he is stubborn and does not respond to the crop on the shoulder, hit him on the hind quarters. But be warned, he might go too fast for your likings. After you are comfortable with cantering, you will proceed to jumping. After that, you will move onto galloping. Give the horse a big kick and maybe a touch on the shoulder via the crop and click your tongue (or make a kissy noise, depending on who trained the horse.) There you go!

If you're on the ground and want to make the horse "run"/gallop, yell at it and wave your hands. Be warned that you may get a kick in the side/head/leg if the horse has a tendency to kick. Stay a safe distance away. If the horse is very attached to you, he may imitate you and if you run, he will run. Give him a reward afterwards. Just remember that becoming a rider and a horseman takes a long time so be patient. I've been riding for about 3 years and I've just started to work on cavaletties. Don't worry, be safe, and good luck.
