The horse will usually give you a warning that he has spotted something further down the road. The horse will raise its head up, prick up his ears and you will feel the tension and also the shortening stride. A horse can also take you by surprise !. It could be a plastic bag flying up in the air or last minute a dog barks. Haven’t you noticed that sneaky dog that waits for you to ride past and at the last minute barks its head off! When you are aware of what spooks your horse, you are able to anticipate its behaviour. A horse that is spooked will try to run away or jump to the side putting you in a dangerous position in the road. Stay relaxed and calm, keeping your reins at the correct length. Becoming tense and shortening up the reins will make matters worse as the horse will react to the tension in your body and hands. Do not loose your temper if the horse is afraid. Encourage and reassure the horse using your voice. Be prepared to stand a little, while the horse has a good look or smell of the object before you confidently ask him to move forward. If you have exhausted all avenues of getting past the object, get off your horse and lead it past. If you allow the horse to turn the other way and head back home, he will most certainly do this every time he panics. Frightened horse >> Home What is spooking or shying ? Training the spooky horse ?

When you are aware of what spooks your horse, you are able to anticipate its behaviour. A horse that is spooked will try to run away or jump to the side putting you in a dangerous position in the road. Stay relaxed and calm, keeping your reins at the correct length. Becoming tense and shortening up the reins will make matters worse as the horse will react to the tension in your body and hands.
Do not loose your temper if the horse is afraid. Encourage and reassure the horse using your voice. Be prepared to stand a little, while the horse has a good look or smell of the object before you confidently ask him to move forward. If you have exhausted all avenues of getting past the object, get off your horse and lead it past.
If you allow the horse to turn the other way and head back home, he will most certainly do this every time he panics.
