Answer #1

Horses are in general ‘Gentle Giants’ but they do have a mind of their own, They’re just like humans, if they really don’t want to do something, you’ll have a hard time getting them to do it. Some Horses are vicious - mainly from poor treatment or fear, but in general horses ‘buck’ their rider off if they are sore or get a fright.

Answer #2

they might be spooked or something and jump. they might also just be uncomfortable or feel threatened. I’ve gotten thrown off because my horse didnt like the other horse so close to her.

Answer #3

Well I wouldn’t want over 100lbs riding on my back either. :)

Answer #4

Answer #5

Pain…fear…ornery…or feeling REALLY good!
