Kayla, first make sure your horse doesn’t have a physical problem thats causing her pain and make sure her tack isn’t the problem. If there no problem causing her pain then focus on your riding. Make sure you not in her mouth, bouncing on her back, ect. When she tries to stop and buck, move her feet! Do circles, figure 8’s, back up,really make her work. She’ll learn that when she bucks she’ll just have to work even harder. Remember to never punish her. Be firm not mean. And when she doesn’t buck, reward her by rubbing her, letting her rest and praising her.
I hope this helps. 🙂

“If a horse likes you and respects your leadership, he doesn’t feel like kicking you.” What nonsense! Horses that like each other kick each other all the time, LIKE has nothing to do with a kick, one way or the other. It’s about respect, a horse can love you and still disrespect you. If that seems impossible, then have you ever had to deal with a teenager?
This kind of thinking is damaging because it will lead a bunch of well-meaning but ignorant equestrians to think that their horse hates them if they get kicked (not necessarily true) or that if they just make their horse LOVE them enough they’ll never ever get kicked (completely untrue).

I learned about parelli when getting my horse, and did lots with her on it. She respects me now more compared to before, and he jumpingjacks thing works amazing!! Now she does not enter my space bubble without getting my permission. She knows how to undersgand me and i understand her a lot better. Parelli is awesome! 🙂

Lots of comments say this article is great, and it works, etc. But then another few people say it’s false/horrible, etc… I wonder who’s right?

the parelli answer to the HORSE KICKING is incomplete and a lot of bs included, where do they get thier expert answers from all the worldchampions they trained they wont give me a list i have a list where is theirs, in thier safem its all about the money and the arrogrance horses also kick in play, so they forgot that one, they dont even know the situation of the kick but they answer any way, bull feathers

What bunk. “Ask your horse’s permission to enter”? I agree that you should get the horse’s attention so you don’t startle it when entering, but if you have to wait at the gate for the horse to come over, then I know some people who would be waiting for years because their horses simply aren’t like that.

I never though of things from the horse view. Good advise.
