Last October I got a 9 year old paint mare for my birthday (She was green broke). Within a week of having her she bucked me off while I was mounting and I broke my tailbone. I started riding her again in May and I've only walked and trotted on her. I've only rode her around my property and she gets spooky over little things, even her shadow. My friends and I are going on a 4 day trail ride in Northern Minnesota later this week. I've been riding horse for most of my life so im not a beginner but I wouldn't say I'm an expert because I know there is always more I can learn. I was hoping I could get some advice on what I could do to make this go good for both of us, like how to make her stop if she bolts (I know some where you cross the reins certain ways). But I want to know what you would do. I'm planning on cantering on her in the days leading up to when we leave. Any advice is appreciated 
Also Im 15 and she is the only horse my mom will let me bring with.
