Just try to read your horse the best that you
can. Maggie is a pro at spinning and leaping sideways. She has
dumped me half a dozen times by doing this. Most of the time she is
truly scared, a couple of times she was p.o'd. at me and decided to show me
so. I don't think one can ever despin the horse. But one can be and
should be aware all the time of one's surroundings. And if not certain,
the right handed death grip on the horn or the pommel helps immensely.
