What should I do if my horse is nervous during a ride?

If your horse becomes nervous, the first step is to remain calm and composed. Horses often pick up on their rider's emotions, so staying relaxed can help reassure them. • You can also use gentle movements and voice commands to guide your horse and help them focus on you rather than their surroundings. • If the situation feels overwhelming, it might be best to find a safe spot to stop and allow your horse to regain their composure before continuing your ride.
