Spooking etiquette

I have to make sure I'm not riding behind my friends horse when he spooks as his style is 'Slam on brakes, snort loudly and fire out stream of liquid poo'
 
I think our spooking order is like this.....

Strike a pose..
Dressage wannabe..
Back up..
Vertical teleport with a cross of horizontal teleport....guess it's more of a diagonal teleport!
Panicking pirouette with a cross of a rodeo buck..
Finally a get the heck out!!!!!!
 
Haha brilliant! My eejit does 'strike a pose and snort like you mean it' swiftly followed by (and usually while I'm laughing and distracted) the 'horizontal teleport' :)
 
Ned did an impressive "The Grand Prix Dressage Horse Wannabe" on Saturday. At a guy in a wheelchair.

Shortly before it was "Strike a pose and snort like you mean it" at some swans.
 
Lol. Horizontal teleport is an interesting one. Had that on my RS horse once. Only reason I didn't disappear over his backside was because I had a good grip on the reins :o also an ID xWB who disliked Shetlands and did the most amazing combo of stand & snort ,reverse at speed into levade & pirouette quickly followed by extended trot 'get me out of here' Takented horse ! :D
