Just wondering really about everyone's experiences of spooking.
What does your horse do?
What's your worst experience?

When I first got my mare she was nervous a lot of the time especially when it was windy or raining she would suddenly spin round and tank off or shoot off to the side and I would come off the other side and end up on the floor, really lost my confidence with her.
Now we have trust she hardly spooks, if she does she raise her head, pricks her ears, slows right down and jumps with her front legs almost feels like she rocking, after some reassurance from me she will just carry on, pleased how far we have got with it.

Bit of a pointless post, just wanted to hear your experiences :)
