He probably felt like something had a hold of him. Funny! I'm glad you weren't hurt though. Squirrely things like that can be scarey sometimes.
I had a close one with Bob on Sunday. We were boogying on down the trail at a pretty fast rack when suddenly, for no apparent reason, he bucked both back feet up over his head. Nobody was close behind him. There were no flys. I have no idea why he did it. I was lucky I didn't fall off. I managed to get a good hand full of mane, but I lost a stirrup and it took me a few seconds to get him stopped. And I broke a nail, darnit! ;o)
Glad you didn't take a fall. I wonder sometimes why I continue to climb on the silly things:) It's only a matter of time

There must have been something happening Sunday. A daughter of a friend of ours, got bucked off a normally easy mare, then when her Dad got on the mare to take her back to the barn, she bolted, did a quick turn and he fell off getting his foot caught in the stirrup...ouch! Luckily he lost his boot before he had too many injuries. Suffered a sore back and backside, bump to the head and broken nose. : (
