[RC] spook and spin - Karen Bratcher
We did a slight variation on that today. My rotten horse was doing that boingy, bounding show-off trot because a herd of horses ran up in their pasture behind him. You know that trot that vaults you out of the saddle every stride. Then I was laughing at the idiot and he darted sideways on a road going toward home, then ducked his head because I was on his neck, and I did a slow motion fall onto the gravel road. The spin part comes in because I had a death grip on the reins and he was trying to get away, and spun me in a big circle on the gravel. Luckily he finally stopped :-D Amazingly I have not a scratch, just a bruise on my butt where I hit the hardest I guess, and my tights and tee shirt are unripped. There is a big doughnut in the road swept clean of gravel by my skidding body :-D
