Today my horse took off with someone?

It was probably rider error. Actually, she wasn't that bad, she stopped when he came off. She could have bolted all the way home and left you guys with one less horse to ride. More than likely she got confused from a wrong cue or some other external stimuli. A good way to prevent that from happening again is to not let inexperienced people ride her, or at least not canter or gallop. People ask to ride my horses all of the time and usually the answer is no. These are people that don't know how to ride but think they can. Honestly my horses would show them pretty fast that they don't.
If I put someone on my horses that didn't know how to ride, it would be in a small arena or I would be leading them and most adults wouldn't want to do that. Anyway, I would not blame the horse. She probably thought he wanted to go and then he fell off. Be thankful no one got hurt badly.
