This rider quite literally held on for dear life when her horse started rearing and bucking. He eventually seemed to calm down, but during the issue I was definitely scared they were both going to go over backwards. Now the internet seems divided. Some people think she did a great job getting her horse under control and others are criticizing her for not wearing a helmet and pulling on the horses mouth.

Sometimes it can be hard to think and react perfectly when you’re in the middle of a dangerous situation, especially if you’re not a professional. Where do you stand? What would you do if your horse freaked out like this?
