Horses can be unpredictable. Several years ago, we had a 23 year old police dispatcher killed.
She was riding a horse down a road, approaching a railroad crossing while a train approached the crossing. Instead of stopping when she pulled the reins and letting the train pass, the horse panicked and bolted for the crossing. Instead of bailing out and letting the horse go, the gal apparently tried to stop the horse until the last second. The horse ran into the side of the train, and she and the horse were both killed.
I would suggest that when a ridden horse becomes panicky, it behooves you to lay your own "rights" and ego aside and do what it takes to calm the horse. Territorial issues can be discussed later.
I had a law professor in college who spent an entire semester hammering on the idea that there are at least two or more ways of looking at any situation. Would your thoughts and comments be any different if the spooked horse had run into something and killed the rider?
