Alyssa the horse gentler has very good tips for you but I would also like to add something.

Doodlebug doesn't have much respect for his riders. Getting back on him was a great way to show him that he has to have respect for you and that you are the human. There comes a time when each horse needs to be shown who's boss.

Closer
by: Alyssa the horse gentler

Okay with that horse if you want to have better rides on him this is what you need to do... Get closer to him here are some things you can do!
1.Blow in his nose if he blows back you are friends! You can do this again and again every day!
2.Take a day and study him how he acts, runs and stuff like that!
3.Ask your trainer if you can ride bareback! (Do not be scared he can sense that be happy and ready for a ride!)

ouch
by: Kathy

that once almost happened to me! I was riding a school pony Twist, and at a jump I leaned a little two much forward and ended up doing side saddle on the neck/ face! I didn't fall, amazingly, and we were cantering.
