Well this will depend on if you mean from the saddle or from the ground. If you mean from the ground then you need to have a properly fitted halter and lead rope. Gently push the rope towards the horses chest and say 'Back.' if the horse doesn't move then you can push the rope and your fist into it' chest and say 'Back' another time. The horse should start to back up, once it does allow it to stand still and give it a pat for a reward. If you mean under saddle then you need to sit deep in the saddle close your legs briefly against it's sides then gently close your fingers on the reins. Don't pull on the reins as this allows the horse to push against your hand and keep moving. The horse should come to a stop, if not repeat the same steps and say 'whoa.'. Eventually the horse will understand and stop, when it does give it a pat and a kind word then allow it to move off again.
What else can I help you with?
What do you do when your horse wont stop backing up?
What I do is, when my horse backs up when i want her to stop or go forward I MAKE her back up about half way accross the arena. Everytime she starts to un-wantedly back up I make sure she does, but for how long and when I want her to. Once you have done this, your horse will willingly go forward!! :) Repeate this everytime your horse backs up on her own, and after a while she/he will relyse that everytime she wants to back up and does that your going to make her back up more than she wants to and she will quit! Good Luck

Plase tell you about how to saddle the horse?
Okay, first you put the saddle blanket on the horses back- put it up to where nthe horses withers are. Then you put the saddle on the horses back-make sure it is in the middle. Then pust the top part of the saddle blanket into the gullet of the saddle (under the pommel). Then you walk around the other side of the horse and check that nothing is tangled. Then go back to the other side and reach and grab the girth (the thicker one) and do it up tight. make sure you can fit a flat hand between the horse and the girth. Then you do up the surcingle- make sure it is ontop of the girth. Don't do it up to tight. Now you are saddled.
