In our previous videos for this series about “Common Mistake’s Beginner Rider’s Make,” I explained where the rider’s leg, foot, seat, body, hands, and reins should be when riding with balance, fluidity, and stability. And we finally made it to the mounting block, got on our horse and went through our riding pre-flight check system.
We’ve covered how and why to use the whip, worked on our “go” button, moving forward and learned about our quiet, yet powerful, aids such as our focus and breathing. And we’ve been working on our stop button with our horse.
Today we are going to discuss and demonstrate two important emergency stop techniques. This is so critical to your safety. You’re in good hands too as the previous videos have prepared you and your horse for this.
You’ve already been preparing your horse for the stop through the level of connection (and mindset) you’ve developed by going slow, listening to your horse, making sure you both are on the same page and using your aids correctly - with love and firmness.
Today we are going to learn two great techniques to stopping your horse immediately - the emergency stop.
I’d like to emphasize that we have been learning the most important ingredients to preparing you and your horse for emergency stops - and it has nothing to do with bigger bits or strength.
It has everything to do with the following:
- Creating the right mindset in you and your horse
- Creating the level of connection needed for your horse to feel your subtle and light aids
- Creating a responsive horse
Here are the two techniques. The first is called the “emergency bend to the stop” and the second is called “preparing your horse for the emergency stop.”
Stay tuned for our next video in this series where I will explain and demonstrate the half-halt.

Thank you so much. I was naturally doing this with my horse at another stable and they told me it was wrong to rest my hand in my thigh when gently pulling to a stop as you did. It felt very natural so I'm glad to see that it is not incorrect.
Hi Melissa and Welcome! So glad I could help! My method works because it make sense, uses a lot of common sense combined with the understanding of how the body works naturally, the instincts.
Awesome 👍
I’m having trouble riding the trot while riding bareback and it doesn’t help that I ride a horse that has an attitude but we’ve been working on it and your videos have really helped!!
Hi Gingi and Welcome! Great to hear!
This was great but it’s left me wondering, which bareback pad are you using?
Hi Ebony and Welcome!
I added the link for you so you can check out the bareback pad that Caroline is using.

So you said you were going to teach us a different stop for if they were going faster than a walk or trot but you didn’t. I’m confused. All you taught was the bend to a stop.
Hi Heather and Welcome! Yes and I do. This video is just a snippet of the full length video offered in my Everything Horses & More! Video Library subscription. Please make sure to read my video descriptions as I explain this and write in depth about my technique being used.
