What is the primary method of control of direction, and speed of your horse? Unless your horse is very advanced and well trained, and in combination with leg pressure and seat the primary and certainly the back-up control is the reins.
It doesn’t matter if you ride in a halter, bitless bridle or with a bit, you are probably at least partly asking for the speed and direction of travel with your reins.
Hopefully your horse will have a very soft mouth and rein pressure only needs to be slight.
Having a good mouth on a horse is extremely important and should things get a bit exciting, a one rein stop can save you and your horse.

The one rein stop is your emergency brake. If your horse wants to rear, bolt, buck, or shy you can gain control with a one rein stop. Have a look at this video by John O’Leary, arguably one of Australia’s better horsemen and expert at dealing with problems in horses......
