In my summer lesson group, there is a horse that bolts a lot. When he bolts, the horse I'm riding flips out, spins, half-rears, goes crazy, and leaps into the air. How do I make sure the horse I'm riding doesn't flip out? It's really kind of scary.
I'll be leaving YR. Bye, guys.

Is your horse spooked by the other horse, or does he just want to run with him?
Do you have 2 arenas that are next to each other? If yes, then try schooling them at the same time, so your horse is used to working with him, but isn't in a direct place with the bolting horse. Then, gradually move them back in with each other
If not, then I would get your horse to really focus on something while the other horse is bolting. Keep him moving in a tight circle, so he can't run away with you, buck, or do anything stupid. And it'll give him something to focus on.
Hope it gets better ://

Let him buck and rear or whatever he has to do, then just take him in tight circles until he realizes it is not ok for him to do that. Then the next time he pulls that, pull him in circles before anything happens.

I found myself in Wonderland
Get back on my feet, on the ground
Is this real?
Is this pretend?
I'll take a stand until the end

Well if its not the horse your riding thats bolting, you cant "make sure" he doesnt. That would be like asking a white horse not to roll after a bath. Its not going to happen. Sorry, but "the force" wont help you.
Yay! New Banner! Thanks Take Me home! I shall switch on and off with them.

I love you Seth. You were my brother, my friend, and I loved you. You touched many lives and though short your life was no waste. You made so much of it and we are so happy for our time with you. Save a place for me.
Make the most of life, it's gone before you know it.
