How do you calm down a horses?

Calming down a horse can be very difficult especially depending on the temperament of the horse. If my horse starts bucking i turn him in a really tight circle, and try and get his head of the ground. I do this because when you turn the horse it makes the horse off balance and makes it hard for the horse to buck or rear. Keeping the horses head high makes it harder for the horse to buck. If the situation becomes dangerous its best to do a flying dismount. This is when the rider jumps off the horse while it is moving. To do this as safe as possible take both feet out of the stirrups, drop the reins, swing your leg over and push away from the horse. If possible try and grab the reins when pushing off, but if you cant dont worry just get away. Eventually the horse will stop and you can go get him.

Why is a horse's height taken from the shoulder rather then there head?

A horse can move its head too easily and not all horses carry their heads at the same angle (some carry it more level to their back and some carry it really high), so it would be difficult to get each horse to hold it's head at the same angle every time you wanted to measure them. However, when stood squarely, a horse cannot alter the distance between its whithers and the ground, so this is a more dependable measurement.
