I don't think any horse, no matter how long one
rides it or how much trust there is between rider and horse, will ever stop
spooking. The spooks may not be as bad, they might not be as often, but if
something scares the horse moreinlikely it is going to spook. Even my
hubby's calm quarter horse could throw some great spooks. So I suggest one
keep one's eyes open, sit deep in the saddle and try to be prepared for that one
incident that can happen. We cannot control what happens on trail, along
side a road, or whatever. But we can try to ride defensively. A
horse is a horse is a horse. Jeanie
