Good advise, I hope I can remember it all, “if” my horse ever bolts or takes off on me.

I concur with Julie Goodnight’s observation when responding to this situation…A good moving horse is a blessing and many gaited horses fall in this catagory. If yours does, find another horse to ride with the slow riders and enjoy the great gaits of your horse with riders who ride at a faster pace.

Great tips. Also, the more often you gallop on the trails with your horse the less likely he is to take off because it won’t be a new and exciting/scary experience.

I would think going with a quiet horse leading would help on the first trail ride after “re-training”, too.

Thanks for the tips- I hate having a horse rushes on a trail
