You would try to keep holding on to the reins, and try to pet it till it does calm down.
Slow,calm,and confident. If you aren't any of these then the horse may become spooked
They can get spooked at anything, but being separated from their herd can make the horse feel vulnerable or lonely.
spooked
A common spooked horse will kick for protection and then run away!!!!!
A horse is generally spooked by snakes and doesn't like dogs.
It means they are frightened
Is when a horse or anything is frightened or scared of something
A lot of times horses are spooked by creatures such as snakes. So if a horse starts freaking out and tries to buck you off while you're riding it, it was probably spooked by a snake or something else.
Spooked
If they are WAY backward, like, almost touching the head, then that horse is spooked and angry! Calm the horse down. HOWEVER if the ears are slightly tilted back, then the horse is listening to you. If you tell the horse "Trot" then he/she will probably have been alert and would probably pick up the trot immediately.
No real accurate answer. However, in a horse race ,at full gallop, the horse will be 'blown out; after 4 or 5 miles. In 'western' films, where you see them galloping for miles and miles, and miles. Wrong!!!! It is only fiction for the film . The animal would be 'finished' after about 3, or 4 or 5 miles. A horse could probably go a little bit further if it is 'cantered', rather than galloped.
Pretend it is just practice. Talk to your horse. It'll calm you and the horse down..
