I don't mind if my horse gets frightened. What I do mind is when he gets frightened and then takes matters into his own hands. Instead of bolting, bucking or rearing, you want your horse to look to you for guidance. Prove to him that every time he gets worried, panicked and uses the reactive side of his brain you'll help him survive the experience. You'll do that by moving his feet forwards, backwards, left and right until he calms down and uses the thinking side of his brain. Every time you take control of the situation, you build your horse's confidence in you as a leader. If you punish him for being reactive, he'll get defensive, more frightened and lose confidence in you as a leader. - Clinton
