Understanding Horse Release

Question
Hello,
I have just finished watching and listening to your video on 'understanding horse release - guy jumps off horse - bad release.
I understand and agree with what you are saying but would have really appreciated you  touching on several of the 'right' responses the rider might have done.
Can you talk on some of the things a rider can do when confronted with that type of situation.

Answer
I cover this in many places. You should not get on until you know what will happen, you should not give release to wrong responses, jumping off is release, you should not let a know that it can get release by doing wrong things, you went too fast if this is happening, you do not understand why this is happening if you are letting this happen, you missed the clues and communication the horse was giving you and that is why you end up in this situation, all horse problems are people problems.
