An excerpt from "Round Pen First Steps [Downloadable PDF version]":
A word of caution: Exercises such as this, all by themselves, are not magic wands. If you're riding and look back to see your horse's hind legs above his rear end, it's too late to whip out this exercise or any other and hope it's going to save you. Sure, if your horse starts bucking you can (and should) disengage the hip and if he bolts you should do the same - but that's a last-ditch effort, a hail-Mary pass. Don't let it get to that point. Horses are living, breathing creatures with emotions and good days and bad days. Every moment you're riding you need to be engaging your horse, keeping it's mind on you. Build a firewall between yourself and danger by keeping your horse occupied, buy a little insurance by teaching exercises such as "Spook in Place" - but don't rely on one thing singularly. It's the totality of your work - and your good, common sense - that will keep you safe. (rpt)
