You said:  "so that someday someone might avoid the same circumstances."  Is 
there anything the rider or horse can do differently to avoid this spiral 
fracture from occurring in the first place?  And what exactly do you mean by 
green line fracture?  Thanks very much.

Well, in this case it wasn't a spiral fracture, just a green stick fracture, initially, and the cause was clearly apparent--the horse cantered into a pile of dirt at the side of the trail while the rider was reaching for a bottle of water. It's like driving--no matter what you are doing, always keep one eye on the road.
