Horse breaks free because of flies?
Hello, today my horse got loose for the second time while out for a walk and I really don't know what to do.
Apparently, the mosquitoes and flies bother her, but is it normal for her to kick really hard and run over me? At some point, I let go because I didn't know what to do anymore and started to panic, and then she galloped the 3km back to the stable. I can't imagine that's what the animals do.
Have any of you experienced something like this before, or do you know what to do in such situations? Perhaps trauma or eczema?

Of course not normal. Can it be that the flies are annoying them (flying mask/flying ears, flying blanket?), but no reason to run around for a long time. And since it iswhile the second time was, will also follow a third, fourth, fifth time – the education is not correct and not your base. Which equipment are you going for a walk? Trense? Halfter? You’re welcome?
Get a trainer who works with you the basics – and no longer get out, really dangerous if you don’t handle the horse and run it home alone!
No, that’s all but normal. A horse may tell that it finds something unpleasant – but always so that it never comes too close to man or even gets rid of the field.
There is a problem in training the horse that you can tackle with professional help. If you had the necessary training yourself, it would not have come to the first event and then rather not to a second, because then you would have arranged accordingly.
Have you ever walked with flycloth and mask? If your horse tears off again, you at least know it’s not the flies.
I’ve got a tinker who hasn’t scratched anything at all, and I’ve gotten into such a lancher cloud that we both ran off together.
With such a horse you don’t go out of the farm, you make a lead training.
Curing and running back to the farm is a NoGo.
I can’t.
But even if you can’t control your horse, you’ll control a horse over the backhand, you’ll control that he won’t get rid of.
The head is not important.
And even when walking, your attention is on the horse all the time and not somewhere.
So, the lead training work with coach.
It certainly has nothing to do with flying. There is a very clear communication problem between you two; the ranking between you is not clear. The horse walks with you, not you.
I think you’ll have misunderstood his signals too long so it decides whether it’s fleeing or not. It doesn’t trust you.
Work on your relationship, do lead training, be consistent, and only when this works, walk with the horse.
