So how do you handle a run away horse on a trail? The very first time I was on a horse was when I was 8 years old. Something spooked the horse I was on and he took off with me. I was terrified and it is something that I still have a hard time getting past. I love horses and riding but everytime I climb on one I start to shake. It was really stupid of the barn to put such a novice rider on a spooky horse. But it is done now. I think that if I know the proper way to handle a run away horse I might not be so nervous.
