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.

What do you do to get your horse back to walking from cantering?
You pull gently on the reins. With the English style of riding, it's more about your seat and leg than your hands. You keep your horse in the canter using the outside leg and your seat and when you want to transition to the walk, you sit deeply in the saddle and take your outside leg off your horse. You can pull gently on the reins as well but it should not be necessary with a well-trained horse.
How do you control your horse when galloping?
That depends. usually, you would simply use your reins to direct the horse where you want it to go or to slow it down. i think this goes for both english and western riding. or you can pull back on the reins to slow it down

How are the reins held for hunt seat?
You hold the snaffle reins(usually braided) like you normally do, and pick up the curb reins(thinner, not braided) with your index and middle fingers. Tighten both reins to where you can effectively steer without pulling your horse's head down too far. To bring nose down hold both reins and alternate hands back while encouraging your horse forward. Hope that helps!
