She looked scared of the horse at how antsy she was around the horse and that horse had no respect for her, my horses great getting everything on them, pretty horse but needs a respect lesson, but this is only my opinion!

It is never okay to hit an animal.N-E-V-E-R for ANY reason! Unless its trying to attack you. You just have to tap it,just to make it realize that what its doing is wrong.
Nooooo! They don`t! …
Nooooo! They don`t! Horse`s do NOT like sudden movements at all! They like nice,slow movements.When you`re around a horse you should move like your underwater.Unless you know FOR SURE that the horse is not the type to spook.

If this is the same horse that you have used in your other videos, I’m not sure why she is acting this way. Perhaps your horse is just fidgety or uncomfortable, which a lot are. But she does seem agitated.
Im sorry but your …
Im sorry but your horse needs a bit of schooling i hope you don’t take this the wrong way but there are a few things you need to improve on. If your horse is behaving badly give him a firm (not hard ) slap and growl at him. A lot of the tme the girth is already attached at one side and you just need to fasten it at one side . the cheeckstrap is normally done up and you just need to fasten your noseband and throatlatch. don’t you use risers on your horses? but you have a beautiful horse
