You shouldnt ride on trails and stuff if your a novice to riding. And if some one knows that and puts u on horses like that they are IDIOTS. The horses arent at fault for this nor are you, its the owners. I love horses and had always wanted to ride and do stuff with them, So i begged my dad to take us to lessons and finnaly when i was around 11 he did. i whent for 5 years before we finnaly talked him into letting us get our own horses. Im 15 now and own a sweet crazy fun lil Quarter Pony/Arab bay Gelding. He behaves really well for me and we get along so well. he has never shown signs of bucking or kicking me. But when my sister cantered him the other week he bucked her off on a hill for some reason. Maybe he doesnt like other riders anymore cuz ive been the only one riding him for awhile? <br />lets just say- if u are new to riding DONT ride a horse ur unsure of. Take lessons first then do riding. And That Matt person only had to pull away from the plants or use leg pressure. and maybe some clicking/kicking if horse wasnt moving. and if ur horse starts backing up just let go or loosen the reins. u should have a tight enough grip to have some control but not so tight that they think stop or back. and backing up is a trust issue. Im surprised the horse backed. Guess he trusted u. To Author and anyone one else- riding is great and fun but only if u know how to ride and know about horses BEFORE u get on. Good Luck and hope Things like this dont happen often<br />-god bless u<br />~miyukuReimeiShadowsMiyukuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18230377662190924859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502516942818340638.post-90379114752864769082010-01-26T20:31:56.024-06:002010-01-26T20:31:56.024-06:00You write brillantly!

I owned two Tenn Walkers. (John) was my favorite. He was genital old horse. I used to hug him every day. He and I would take long walks through the woods. Up steep hills and down them too. It was so nice to get away and just ride for hours.<br /><br />The thing with horses is you have to be the one in control. If the since the fear in you, then they have the control. <br /><br />(Mira) was a nasty horse. He was a young one. She was head strong. If you wanted her to go right she would fight you to then end. I had a guy tell me to take a baseball bat to her. Since I dont believe in that kind of thing. I never did that. I did however buy a plastic woofal ball bat. It got her attention, but did not harm her. <br /><br />Gosh I miss my (John).<br />AllenAllen https://www.blogger.com/profile/02182296582387606080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502516942818340638.post-43290396006525610152010-01-21T20:57:31.597-06:002010-01-21T20:57:31.597-06:00Really FUNNY!

The horse might try to take them out of your pocket with you still in the pants - - - giving you a souvenir bruise of teeth marks on your backside!

I don't ride horses either......<br /><br />Were you sore all over the next day? I rode that big banana ride on a cruise. You know the one that a speed boat drags a group of sun burned idiots around on. Anyway, like you , I held on with every muscle in my body. I absolutely hated the whole ride and couldn't wait for it to end. The next day I could barely move. All my muscles were screaming in pain!Kathy's Klotheslinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17881966393157941515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502516942818340638.post-47491350798680382932010-01-21T19:48:05.636-06:002010-01-21T19:48:05.636-06:00I've only ridden a horse once, and I was very,...I've only ridden a horse once, and I was very, very young. My aunt lives on a farm and she used to have horses, so when I stayed with her one week, she convinced me to ride a horse, and because I was a kid, I thought it would be awesome. Then I got on, bareback, and we trotted awhile. Then a car went by on the gravel road we were on and that horse took off running. I was terrified! My aunt was running around behind us trying to get the horse to stop and I was hanging on for dear life. That was my one and only (thank goodness!) experience on a horse, and I lived to tell the tale!for a different kind of girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04431273646365489225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502516942818340638.post-61438531435600365532010-01-21T19:29:08.480-06:002010-01-21T19:29:08.480-06:00i haven't tried horse riding before. it must b...i haven't tried horse riding before. it must be fun.wennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01535757998884625545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502516942818340638.post-78432718651353809592010-01-21T19:05:20.555-06:002010-01-21T19:05:20.555-06:00Pat - for the horses sakes, PLEASE refrain from mo...Pat - for the horses sakes, PLEASE refrain from mounting ever again!!Bonnie Zieman, M.Ed.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00282469017360136275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502516942818340638.post-52630773802475159562010-01-21T18:49:17.750-06:002010-01-21T18:49:17.750-06:00lol. on our honeymoon we rode horses...mine was ra...lol. on our honeymoon we rode horses...mine was rambo. i think he was an oxymoron. he could barely move. but he took me on an amazing adventure...very slowly. smiles.Brian Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722940075884718007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502516942818340638.post-92043150634014100432010-01-21T18:05:16.368-06:002010-01-21T18:05:16.368-06:00Hilarious!!!
