Riding a horse isn’t like driving a car where you just hit the gas and go.
Just because it accepts you doesn’t mean it will fully obey you. Riding a horse isn’t like driving a car where you just hit the gas and go, hit the brakes and stop. It can sense that you don’t know how to ride. Knowing you’re inexperienced, it will take advantage of you, disobey, and deliberately act against you. You tell it to go, and it refuses. It might deliberately lower its head to graze. When you try to get it up, it resists the reins on purpose. The reasons vary—sometimes it’s because the horse is being mischievous, other times it’s due to a bad temperament. There’s not much you can do about that. You’ll need to win it over with your confidence and determination to control it. You have to make it obey you, make it listen to you. At this point, it’s no longer a pet. To put it bluntly, it’s just an animal. Of course, you also need some techniques, which are hard to explain all at once. I think everyone can share their own experiences, and they vary from person to person and from horse to horse. Generally speaking, it includes using the reins, whip, legs, feet, and hips—or a combination of these actions. First, getting the horse to move involves shifting your hips, squeezing with your legs, nudging its belly with your legs, pulling the reins to one side, waving the whip, and if it still won’t move, using the whip to strike. If it still refuses, you might have to dismount and pull it by hand—maybe it had a fight with its mate the night before.
