Video - it what happens before what "happens" happens that is important.

I was out in the pasture playing with my horse, standing on a white bucket. I had not used this particular bucket in this area of the arena or stood on a bucket actually with this horse. If you watch the video carefully, you will see he is at liberty and can go as he pleases - he chooses to stay BUT is showing signs of apprehension of the bucket. He actually does not want the bucket on his right side even. I did NOT pick up on this - stupid me, until the bucket made a noise toward the end - then I turned this into a friendly game with the bucket. Should have done this before standing on the bucket.

This lesson is very important as so many times we miss the subtle signs and then "from out of nowhere" - not really, they buck, spook, etc etc. But the warning signs were there if paid attention. Another great reason to video tape yourself and watch later so you can see what you missed.
