To prevent a horse from 'taking off on you', you should sit back on the seat, make sure your heels are down in the stirrups and shorten you reins, never pull the reins back far enough so that your elbows elongate further than your body.
Open front boots are used to keep the horse from nicking the back of the front legs while running or jumping. Sometimes, when galloping or jumping, horses will over-stride and their back hoof will hit their front leg.
It is a horse-racing term. If you keep control of a horse's head, you control the way that the horse runs, and how fast it goes. Keeping your head means keeping control of yourself and staying calm in all situations.
It is used to remind the horse to keep its mouth closed and prevents him from crossing his jaw, and its design provides more expansion of the nostrils, which is preferable for horses performing work involving galloping, and has always been popular in show jumping.
You can keep a horse clean by doing mainly two things which would be grooming them and blanketing (only recommended in winter). Or of course you could keep your horse in a stall to keep it from rolling but make sure to turn it out to the pasture every once in a while.
Talk to the person standing next to the horse. He or she will tell you if you can tame him, you can have him. You then get on the horse, and keep your mouse in the circle for a while. When the horse stops, you have earned the horse, and his trust.
White painted horse fencing typically made of wood or PVC is used to create a visible barrier that the horse can see. This allows a galloping horse to see the fence and stop long before running into it and hurting itself. In the past a white painted fence was a sign of wealth and/or prestige on a horse farm as it took lots of money to paint the fences white and keep them looking good.

Kick your feet out of the sturips, slide off the horses butt to one side, with the rengs pull the horse all the way over, then sit on the horses head. You can keep the horse down on the ground because a horse has to lift its head before it can get up. They don't like to be held down, One application is often all it takes! ---- When a horse rears, often times it is because they are frightened. They don't normally rear out of defiance towards the rider. When riding a horse you want to try and stay on. You have a better chance at gaining control from the saddle than on the ground. In order to keep yourself mounted on a horse while it rears, lean forward slightly to try and promote balance for your horse. Remember that they are animals built for four feet and standing on their hindquarters is tough for them. That being said, a horse can actually flip itself backwards when rearing. If you feel like this could be a possibility or you do not feel comfortable on a rearing horse, simply take your feet out of the stirrups and do an emergency dismount. Do not pull on the horse's mouth; this hurts them. Do what you need to to keep you and your horse safe.
