  • I believe we are talking about two totally different things. If you are doing an emergency dismount, your horse is running off with you. Otherwise, your hands should be on the reins at all times, for safety purposes. - JG

  • I've never ridden on a Western saddle, but an English Saddle. I don't know, but I believe this would be easier for me to do on an English saddle as I can imagine myself getting caught on the Western Saddle, lol.

  • 2 things. i hav that helmet. and that horse needs a tail trim

    

  • aand how exactly do you do that at a full speed gallop?

    It looks great when the horse is standing still or is just trotting but when you REALLY need the emergency dismount (like I needed it today when my horse decided to bolt with me at a full speed gallop in an open field) it really isn't that easy.(and the chances of you staying on your feet are not big)

  • I have never seen a horse fall down as a result of the rider hanging onto the reins. I have, however, seen a horse run onto a busy highway because the rider did not hold onto the reins.

  • @chainstructor Even if your horse is running off with you, you're going to want to stop them, especially if they're heading towards a main road.If my pony is running off with me, it's give and take the reins and turn a large circle, gradually spiralling inwards so they have to stop in order to stay balanced.Or you kick on and give them the reins saying "if you want to go, go on then!" to make them think before doing the circling and giving and taking. It's best not to bail out if possible.

  • What happened to "never let go of the reins unless your horse/pony runs off (to prevent yourself from being dragged)" as taught by the Pony Club and British Horse Society?

  • That's a really nice horse. He's beautiful and quiet, not to mention he stops moving after you dismount him.
