Mine get spooked on slightly windy days in their pasture, that they live in. At 50 there are days I step outside and say “not today” based on the breeze. I don’t bounce any more.Things that spook a horse: Things that move & things that don't move
Unfortunately I think this is a recovery situation. I suspect something happened at the waters edge or slightly in the water. A slip, trip, some sort of spook and she went in and the horse went out.
One of the last times I fell off, I did lots of circles trying to get control before going off outside the circle. Had a thorny branch my mare picked up in her tail that started poking her back legs. She panicked and I ended up with broken ribs.
The circles look like an attempt to get control to me.
IMOO.
