No, if you do that the horse will think it's won and get worse. If I get thrown off or something it makes me more determined to get back on and teach them what they did was wrong.
When I had a severe sprain (worse then a break) to my ankle from being thrown off my old pony I was in so much pain and I was crying my eyes out. But I got right back on him crying (I had to get back to the barn wich was 10 minutes away). After I went to the Hospital the first thing I asked is when can I ride again. They said a month at least. I stuffed my boot to keep my ankle from not moving 2 weeks later. I was more determined to get back on him.
