Arabian horses are bred to hold their tails up, especially at a canter. (see: Arabian horses)
But if you are just sitting on a horse and it raises it's tail, it probably needs to poo, or fart at least!
Many horses wait till after being saddled and mounted to do this, especially in the morning. It is probably all part of the trick of 'puffing-up' to stop the girth being tightened to it's full extent! Or perhaps once mounted, they realize it is time for work and get their bodily functions over with for their own comfort, or, depending on individual personality, to let you know what they think of it all!?
Horses swish their tails to get flys off there bodies.
Sometimes flies land on them so they hit them with their tail just as you would if you had a fly on your arm.
Hold down the attack button (it varies from console to console, on Xbox 360, it's X) when they charge you. When held down, Ezio will cut the front leg of the rider's horse, causing the rider and the horse to fall.
That is probably the safest but for a new rider only.
ask if you can and take over from the outside This question is on Horse and is on riding level 2 when overtaking a horse rider you pass on the left after announcing it. When I am riding on a trail I say,"passing on the left." Wait for the response then proceed or hold my position. It depends on the rider that you are trying to pass, their experience and their horses temperment. lisa
keep a good hold of your horse so that it dose not bolt off with u or go out of the ring and go back in when mounted
Typically to keep a horse's head down while it's being ridden. Horses that hold their heads too high are known as "stargazers" - this affects their balance when they jump or try to work with a rider on their back and can cause the horse to be unable to get itself high enough off the ground for a fence.
A martengal is for youre horse... it helps the rider to control the horse better, and stops it looking to much up, but mainly to hold it better.... it is only usede for jumping and does no good when riding dressage...
The best way to get a horse to come to you is get as near as you can then hold out a treat in your hand while staying completely still and have your head bowed.
The choice of Bridle, Halter, or both is up to the discretion of the instructor. That being said there are factors that contribute to that choice. If the person riding cannot hold onto reins or would cause the horse pain then the horse would ;likely wear a halter only. If the rider had good motor skills and could keep from hurting the horses mouth, then just a bridle would be good. If however the rider is in a transition from poor to good muscle control then they would likely use both. The bridle to teach the rider to hold the reins and a halter to keep control over the horse as the rider learns.
On howrse, the answer is: Ask somebody to hold your horse while you mount Use a mounting block
When mounting your horse in an active arena with other riders, you should: Ask somebody to hold your horse while you mount Use a mounting block
There really is no part of a bridle that does that, however blinders are designed to keep the horse's attention focused ahead of him. It is up to the rider to keep the horse focused. The bridle is mostly just a means to hold the bit in place which allows communication.
