its prevents them from extending their body to make a smooth jump. It also unbalences them and they could fall over backwards.
You can pull back on the reins and lean back.
All you do is gently pull back on the reins and squeeze your thighs on the horse. If it doesn't stop, then pull back harder. Not to hard though. Hope this helps!!
sit deep into your saddle and lean back.pull back on the reins
Pull on the reins
To dismount a horse, lean forward slightly in the saddle and swing your right leg over the horse's back, clearing the saddle with your foot. Hold onto the reins with your left hand as you bring your left leg over the horse and land on the ground gently. Ensure to dismount on the left side of the horse.
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.
When the horse is cantering & you want it to walk,pull back on the reins a little & say whoa
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.
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
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!
When you feel she is getting excited and speeding up, pull back slightly on the reins and sit in your seat. Lean back if you have to.
Well sit back heels down or hold on with one hand on the horn and the other with the reins....
