Marie in Ogden, I hope you see this, as it has been a while since you asked the question. Have someone show you the emergency stop and practice it before going out on the trail again. Basically, you slide one hand down the rein toward the horses head and slowly but firmly pull their head around to their side. They can’t run if their head is turned. If you jerk their head to the side, you may throw the horse off balance and both of you could end up laying on the ground. Good luck, and safe riding!
Also should say that these are GREAT rules to ride by on the trail. The problem is that many people don’t know how to keep their horses nose out of the rear of the horse ahead of them. Pulling on the horse’s mouth isn’t the answer!
