After about 50 violent shies, you may have the muscle memory to stay on
reflexively. Even at age 10, after several thousand miles, Traveller shies a
lot still, and the last time he overwhelmed my reptilian brain's reaction
time was about a year and a half ago at a gallop. Nowadays all I do is lose
a stirrup, knock on wood.

I have heard it said that most horses have a "right handed" mentality, and
therefore will often spook to the left to offer their "best side". I
certainly have had that experience myself..
